E-Power Resources Inc. (CSE: EPR) ("E-Power" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional results from the 2024 exploration program on the Company's flagship Tetepisca flake graphite property located in the North Shore region of Québec.
Highlights include:
James Cross, President and CEO of E-Power commented: The early stage exploration work completed during the 2024 exploration season has clearly demonstrated the graphite potential of our northern claims. The second phase of prospecting has extended extended mineralized trends coincident with conductors derived from airborne surveys and has discovered new zones. We anticipate implementing an aggressive program in 2025 to follow up and advance these discoveries and demonstrate the large tonnage potential of the property. Work on our advanced targets on the southern claims has returned Cg grades consistent with, and above, the district average Cg resource grade and graphite concentrates grades up to 96.5% Cg.
Early Stage Exploration
Early stage exploration completed during the 2024 exploration season was focused on evaluating selected conductors and conductor trends on the northern part of the property derived from interpretation of the Company's airborne electromagnetic survey completed in 2022. Exploration during Phase 1 of the program resulted in the discovery of high grade graphitic metasedimentary rocks coincident with 3 conductor trends (see news release dated August 1, 2024). Geological and geophysical prospecting completed during Phase 2 of the early stage exploration program successfully extended mineralized trends and discovered additional graphite mineralization coincident with previously untested targets, Forty-four samples were taken during Phase 2, 38 of which returned analyses greater than 1% Cg, 22 returned values greater than 5% Cg, and 13 samples returned Cg values greater than 15%. The location of the 2024 early stage exploration area is indicated in Map 1 and the results are presented in Map 2.

Advanced Exploration and Evaluation
E-Power has prioritized 3 graphite showings located on the southern part of the Tetepisca property for advanced exploration and evaluation. During the 2024 campaign a total of 1,037 kilograms (1.037 tonnes) comprising four bulk samples from three graphite showings (2 samples taken from the Graphi West target area) were collected (locations of showings indicated on Map 1). Field duplicates, consisting of 2 to 3 kg taken from each of the bulk sample excavation sites, returned Cg values that are consistent with and above the average resource Cg grade in the Tetepisca district (approximately 14% Cg). The results are presented in the table below. Work in progress on these samples includes mineralogy studies utilizing reflected and transmitted light petrography and a Scanning Electron Microscope and metallurgical test work. Preliminary mineralogy results document the common occurrence of large to jumbo size graphite flakes which are free of inclusions. Results of metallurgical test work include Graphite concentrate grades of 96.5 % from the Syndicate showing and 96.4% from the Captain Cosmos showing.

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 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.

About Sona Nanotech Inc.
Sona Nanotech, a nanotechnology life sciences company, is developing Targeted Hyperthermia™, a photothermal cancer therapy, which uses therapeutic heat to treat solid cancer tumors. The heat is delivered to tumors by infrared light that is absorbed by Sona's gold nanorods in the tumor and re-emitted as heat. Therapeutic heat (41-48°C) stimulates the immune system, shrinks tumors, inactivates cancer stem cells, and increases tumor perfusion - thus enabling drugs to reach all tumor compartments more effectively. Targeted Hyperthermia promises to be safe, effective, minimally invasive, competitive in cost, and a valuable adjunct to drug therapy and other cancer treatments.
Sona has developed multiple proprietary methods for the manufacture of gold nanoparticles which it uses for the development of both cancer therapies and diagnostic testing platforms. Sona Nanotech's gold nanorod particles are cetyltrimethylammonium ("CTAB") free, eliminating the toxicity risks associated with the use of other gold nanorod technologies in medical applications. It is expected that Sona's gold nanotechnologies may be adapted for use in applications, as a safe and effective delivery system for multiple medical treatments, subject to the approval of various regulatory boards, including Health Canada and the FDA.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION: This press release includes certain "forward-looking statements" under applicable Canadian securities legislation, including statements regarding the anticipated applications and potential opportunities of Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy, Sona's preclinical and clinical study plans, future patent filings, regulatory submissions and approvals, and its product development plans. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions or estimates that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the risk that Sona may not be able to successfully obtain sufficient clinical and other data to submit regulatory submissions, raise sufficient additional capital, secure patents or develop the envisioned therapy, and the risk that THT may not prove to have the benefits currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Sona disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
