E-Power Resources Provides Tetepisca Exploration Update

E-Power Resources Inc. (CSE: EPR) ("E-Power" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration completed and planned on the Company's Tetepisca Graphite Property and to announce the appointment of Dr. William Pfaffenberger to the Board of Directors.

Exploration Update

During June, the Company collected a total of 1,037 kilograms (1.037 tonnes) comprising 4 bulk samples from 3 graphite showings located on the southern claims of the Tetepisca Graphite property. The samples, shipped from Baie-Comeau, have been received at Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. ("Volt" or "Volt Technologies") Scarborough, Ontario dry separation facility. Volt will be completing metallurgical test work, including production of graphite concentrates and graphite flake size distribution analysis, from each of the samples. The Company is also initiating preliminary mineralogy and geochemistry studies from field replicates and representative cuts of the bulk samples.

During June, the Company also initiated a geological and geophysical prospecting program on the northern claims of the Tetepisca property. Prospecting is evaluating targets prioritized from the Company's 2022 high-resolution magnetic-electromagnetic airborne survey. Graphite mineralization was located at several locations in the target areas with visual graphite concentration estimates ranging from trace to 20%. Thirty-three outcrop grab samples have been submitted to ALS Laboratories for graphite carbon analyses.

Field geologists, prospectors, and technicians currently on a break will be returning to the Tetepisca property during the middle of July and will resume prospecting at selected target areas across the property. Pending reception of the required permit from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, the Company will be completing a 20 to 30 tonne bulk sample at 2 locations to be determined based on the results of metallurgical, mineralogy, and geochemical work in progress.
