E-Power on track for phase two

E-Power Resources (CSE:EPR) expects the imminent return of metallurgical test results from its Tetepisca Flake Graphite Project in Québec, Canada. 

Speaking to Mining.com.au, CEO James Cross says the results are from some bulk samples taken late in 2024’s exploration season. 

“The results will show the flake size distribution and how easily the graphite separates from the rock in three different from-surface resource target areas on the property,” Cross tells this news service.

During phase one of E-Power’s 2025 exploration program, which concluded around 1 July, Cross says the company took about 40 rock-chip samples from highly prospective surface targets in the northern end of the property.  

The company also took some bulk samples from some surface targets. The results will be coming in over the following months. 

E-Power will also begin phase two of our 2025 exploration program, probably in late-August.

Cross tells this service the precise objectives will be announced once the bulk sample results are in.

In June, E-Power started its 2025 exploration campaign at Tetepisca. As reported by Mining.com.au the company also began raising up to C$200,000 through two placements with a flow-through offering and a hard dollar offering to expedite exploration across 

Phase one fieldwork is focusing on the highest priority target area on the project, Graphi-Centre, where prospecting and sampling last year resulted in several graphite discoveries.
