ICP Securities Engaged for Market Making
Graphite One has engaged ICP Securities Inc. to deliver automated market making services through its proprietary algorithm, ICP Premium™, designed to enhance market liquidity and quote stability.
This agreement took effect starting January 21, 2026, and has an initial duration of four months, with automatic one-month extensions following that period unless either party delivers 30 days' notice to terminate.
ICP Securities will be compensated with a monthly fee of CAD 7,500 plus applicable taxes, without any performance-based incentives or share-based compensation included in the arrangement.
The market making activities by ICP will specifically target the correction of temporary supply and demand imbalances in the company's shares, with ICP bearing all associated costs of these operations. At the outset of the agreement, neither ICP nor its principals held any interest in Graphite One’s securities, though future acquisitions by ICP or its clients remain possible in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange regulations.
Building Domestic Graphite Supply Chain
Graphite One continues to advance a fully U.S.-based graphite supply chain, aimed at addressing the country’s complete reliance on imported natural graphite. The company’s strategy is centred on the Graphite Creek deposit, recognized by the U.S. Geological Survey as the largest in the United States and one of the largest globally.
The supply chain plan involves shipping material through the Port of Nome to an advanced graphite and battery anode manufacturing plant planned for Warren, Ohio, contingent on project financing. The company also intends to explore a recycling facility to recover graphite and other battery materials.
