In our latest episode, I spoke with James Cross, CEO of E-Power Resources.

E-Power’s strategy is simple: prove up in-ground graphite value in Quebec and position the project to be sold to the right acquirer, rather than chasing costly downstream ambitions.We dug into E-Power’s approach, covering:

• Phase 1 results from their 2025 Tetepisca exploration program
• Why E-Power is focused on “graphite in the ground” - the dough - rather than baking the bread with costly downstream facilities
• The salt analogy: graphite is as essential as salt in a restaurant - without it, the entire menu falls apart. Even if the price rises significantly, it’s such a small fraction of the total cost that manufacturers will pay whatever it takes to secure supply.
• The importance of Canada and Quebec as tier-1 jurisdictions for graphite supply and export to Europe/North America
• How alternative markets like defense and industrial applications may be even more critical than EV batteries
• The challenges of dilution, educating industry, and why North America urgently needs more graphite projects
