Graphite One Inc. has been recognized by the U.S. Government as part of the FAST-41 initiative, a program designed to expedite the permitting process for critical resource and infrastructure projects. This marks a significant milestone as Graphite One's Graphite Creek Project becomes the first mining project in Alaska to be listed on the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard, highlighting its importance in strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains. The project's inclusion follows Graphite One's recent non-binding supply agreement with Lucid Group, Inc., aimed at establishing a fully domestic graphite supply chain. The streamlined permitting process under FAST-41 is expected to accelerate Graphite One's efforts to enhance U.S. industry and national defense, amid growing demand and global market volatility.
