John LaGourgue: High-Grade Graphite Opportunity in Quebec | FC Graphite CEO Interview

July 16, 2026·29 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

John LaGourgue, President and CEO of FC Graphite (TSX-V:FCI) (OTCQB:GRAPF) , shares an in-depth update on the company’s 167 sq km graphite project in northern Quebec, featuring a historical resource of 3.2 million tons grading an impressive 16–17% graphite—well above the industry norm. He explains graphite’s critical role in EV battery anodes (10–30% of every battery) and the urgent need for North American supply as China currently controls up to 90% of production. The discussion highlights Quebec’s strategic advantages, including strong infrastructure, government support, and partnerships with First Nations, alongside exciting exploration progress in Zone 13 with high-grade samples and upcoming drilling programs. With a phased exploration plan and experienced leadership team, First Canadian Graphite is positioning itself to potentially define a billion-dollar resource at relatively low cost while supporting the growing electrification market. #Graphite #CriticalMinerals #EVBatteries #MiningStocks #QuebecMining #BatteryMetals #ResourceInvesting #EnergyTransition #JuniorMining #GraphiteProject #NorthAmericaMining #EVSupplyChain
