Graphano Advances Black Pearl Project and Engages AI Resource Exploration to Refine High-Priority Targets

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2026) - Graphano Energy Ltd. (TSXV: GEL) (FSE: 97G0) (OTC Pink: GELEF) ("Graphano" or the "Company") is pleased to announce continued advancement of its Black Pearl graphite project in Québec following the identification of multiple conductive trends over a strike length exceeding six kilometres (see news release dated February 26, 2026). Recent airborne geophysical surveys, including magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) data, have delineated several discrete conductive zones along this trend and across a broader portion of the property. These conductors are interpreted to represent priority targets for graphite mineralization.

To enhance targeting efficiency and accelerate discovery, Graphano has engaged AI Resource Exploration, a company specialized in advanced geoscience data integration. The mandate will focus on integrating geophysical, geological, and historical datasets to refine and prioritize the most prospective zones for ground follow-up.

"The identification of multiple conductors over a significant strike length is highly encouraging," said Dr. Luisa Moreno, Chief Executive Officer of Graphano. "By incorporating advanced data-driven analysis, we aim to efficiently prioritize the most prospective targets and deploy our field programs with greater precision."

With seasonal conditions improving, Graphano is preparing to initiate ground exploration activities in the coming weeks as snow melt progresses across the project area. The planned program will include:

• Prospecting and geological mapping across identified conductive trends
• Stripping and trenching to expose bedrock
• Systematic channel and grab sampling
• Ground geophysical surveys to support target validation prior to first phase drilling

These activities are designed to confirm the presence of graphite mineralization and support future drilling programs.

The Company remains focused on advancing Black Pearl as a high-potential graphite asset within its growing portfolio in Québec.
