E-Power Resources Inc. (CSE: EPR) (FSE: 8RO) ("E-Power" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of the 2025 exploration program on the Tetepisca Flake Graphite Property located approximately 220 kilometres north of the Port of Baie Comeau in the North Shore Region of Quebec.
Phase 1 of the 2025 exploration program will focus on Graphi-Centre, the highest priority target area on the Tetepisca Property and on the northern claims where prospecting and sampling during the 2024 exploration program resulted in several high grade graphite discoveries.
- Geological mapping and sampling at Graphi-Centre (see Map 1) is aimed at evaluating and delineating the distribution of potentially favourable styles of mineralization indicated by previous sampling and indicated by contrasting magnetic and resistivity responses.
- Geophysical prospecting, geological mapping, and outcrop sampling is planned on the northern claims to follow-up on high grade discoveries made in 2024 (see Map 2) with the goal of determining dimensions and orientations of potential flake graphite zones.
- A total of approximately 1 tonne of flake graphite mineralization will be collected in 4 samples (each approximately 250 kg). Three samples will be collected from the Graphi-Centre target and 1 from the northern claims. The samples will be submitted to SGS Canada Ltd., Lakefield, ON for metallurgical testwork.
James Cross, President and CEO of E-Power commented: "We are pleased to be starting our 2025 exploration program to continue evaluation of our large land position in the Tetepisca Graphite District. The discoveries made on the northern claim group during 2024 expand the scope of our evaluation of the property for high grade, high quality, and from-surface, flake graphite deposits. The results of metallurgical test work on samples collected in 2024 from advanced targets in the southern claims are pending and expected soon. We look forward to compiling those results, planning and executing our Phase 2 2025 Program."

About the Tetepisca Property
The Tetepisca Property is located approximately 220 km north of the town of Baie-Comeau in the North Shore Region of Québec. The property consists of 230 claims covering an area of approximately 12,620 hectares within the emerging Tetepisca Graphite District ("TGD"). The property is 100% owned by E-Power. Fifty-two claims, located in the southern part of the property, are subject to a 1.5% NSR held by a group of local prospectors; otherwise the Tetepisca property remains unencumbered. The TGD is an active graphite exploration and development district with delineated measured and indicated resources in excess of 120 Mt at an average grade of approximately 14% Cg. The Company's Tetepisca property is strategically located over continuous bedrock conductive horizons that are known and interpreted to be due to graphite and which hold significant potential to host flake graphite resources. The intersection of graphite in our 2023 drilling and the results of our 2024 exploration program to date confirms the Company's exploration model and provides the basis for continued exploration and evaluation.
