Geomorphic AI Offers Koivuniemi Flake-Graphite Project for Joint Venture - a Drilled, Metallurgically Tested Coarse-flake Camp, North Savo, Finland

Portland, Oregon and Helsinki, Finland--(Newsfile Corp. - July 27, 2026) - Geomorphic AI ("Geomorphic" or the "Company"), an AI-driven prospect-generator in the minerals exploration sector, is pleased to announce that it has assembled a data package on the Koivuniemi Graphite Project ("Koivuniemi" or the "Project") — a metamorphic-hosted coarse flake-graphite system in the Vaajasalmi camp, Rautalampi, North Savo, Finland. Geomorphic has secured a land package of approximately 2,157 hectares and the Company is now seeking a joint venture partner to advance or acquire the Project.

Koivuniemi is a drilled and metallurgically tested coarse-flake graphite camp defined by 44 historic drill collars over approximately 7,081 metres across four sub-areas, drilled by GTK and Outokumpu between 1977 and 2018. Eighteen holes carry significant graphite, hosted in graphitic paragneiss and black schist. The graphite is coarse flake (500-1,000 microns, approximately 98 wt% carbon in the flakes) — the high-value form sought for battery-anode and expandable-graphite markets. The historic drilling has tested less than 2.5 kilometres of an approximately 8-kilometre airborne-EM conductor system that remains largely open along strike.

Geomorphic AI VP of Business Development, Jeff Phillips said, "Koivuniemi is a coarse-flake graphite camp that has already cleared the two hardest hurdles — grade and metallurgy. Historic drilling includes 96.95 metres at 10.68% graphitic carbon, and GTK bench tests upgraded the material to a 91% carbon concentrate and to better than 99% carbon after refining. Yet fewer than 2.5 of roughly 8 kilometres of conductor have ever been drilled, so the scale question is wide open. We have secured the ground and packaged that historic record into a rare, de-risked starting point just as Europe races to onshore battery-anode supply. We are now looking for a joint-venture partner to advance or acquire it."

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• Drilled, metallurgically tested camp: 44 historic holes and ~7,081 m across four sub-areas, drilled by GTK and Outokumpu 1977–2018; 18 holes carry significant graphite in graphitic paragneiss and black schist.
• High-grade graphite intercepts (historic):
  • PH-7: 96.95 m @ 10.68% Cg;
  • R27: 19.25 m @ 19.3% Cg;
  • R26: 20.20 m @ 12.1% Cg;
  • PH-6: 20.90 m @ 11.80% Cg
  • PH-11: 33.55 m @ 10.86% Cg;
  • R17: 23.55 m @ 10.6% Cg.
• Coarse flake, tested metallurgy: coarse flake (500–1,000 µm, ~98 wt% C in flake); a GTK 16 kg composite floated to a 91% carbon concentrate at 82% recovery, upgrading to better than 99% carbon after alkaline roast and acid leach.
• Largely untested conductor system: the drilled camp sits on an approximately 8-kilometre airborne-EM conductor system, less than 2.5 km of which has been drilled; the scale of the system remains open.
• EU critical raw material: natural graphite is a designated EU Critical Raw Material and strategic battery-anode input, with the EU prioritising domestic supply.
• Prime location: central Finland, road-accessible with grid power and a skilled regional mining workforce.
