Canadian government steps up with financial support. First Phosphate received conditional approval for up to C$16.7 million in non-repayable funding through Natural Resources Canada under the Global Partnerships Initiative. The contribution will fund the assessment of technical and engineering parameters, including processing circuits and equipment, needed to validate the company’s ability to produce battery-grade phosphate concentrate aligned with its definitive offtake agreement. The funding supports study activities through 2028. First Phosphate received US$523,017 under a long-term phosphate concentrate offtake agreement, reinforcing commercial validation and establishing initial cash flow tied to downstream demand.

Phosphate added to Canada’s critical minerals list. The Canadian federal government amended the 2025 budget to include phosphate as a critical mineral essential for clean technology. This designation makes First Phosphate eligible for the 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) and the 30% Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit (CTM). The CMETC enhances the company’s ability to raise exploration capital, while the CTM offers the potential to materially reduce downstream capital intensity for the planned phosphoric acid and LFP cathode active material facilities.

Saguenay, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – February 27, 2026) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQX: FRSPF) (OTCQX ADR: FPHOY) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company“) applauds the amendment to the 2025 Canadian federal budget which passed yesterday to include phosphate on the list of critical minerals essential for clean technology.

Phosphate exploration and downstream processing facilities will now benefit from numerous Canadian federal programs dedicated to key critical minerals including these two essential tax credit programs:

  1. The Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (“CMETC”), a 30% Canadian refundable tax credit for Canadian investors in junior mining companies in respect of targeted exploration expenses.
  2. The Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit (“CTM”), a 30% refundable tax credit for Canadian corporations investing in new machinery and equipment for manufacturing clean technologies or processing critical minerals.

The CMETC will assist First Phosphate in raising funds geared towards further exploring and developing its mineral properties in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec and to continue to develop the region’s district-level phosphate zone.

The CTM will be beneficial to First Phosphate in building out infrastructure associated with the operating and mining of its advanced phosphate properties as well as its future downstream processing facilities such as the planned phosphoric acid plant and the planned lithium iron phosphate (“LFP”) cathode active material plant.

First Phosphate wishes to thank members of the Standing Committee on Finance, Canada and members of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Canada for recognizing that phosphate is no longer just about fertilizer but also about high technology. An overwhelming majority of batteries produced on the planet are now based on LFP chemistry of which the majority of the cathode is comprised of high-purity phosphate such as the type found on First Phosphate properties in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec.

First Phosphate has recently produced commercial-grade LFP 18650 battery cells using North American critical minerals: https://firstphosphate.com/north-american-lfp-battery-cells

The high-purity phosphoric acid for these LFP 18650 battery cells was produced using rare igneous anorthosite rock extracted from the Company’s Bégin-Lamarche property in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec.

First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF) – Transitioning from Exploration to Feasibility

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com


Wednesday, January 07, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Hans Baldau, Associate Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Offtake agreement. First Phosphate recently amended an offtake agreement that includes a US$0.53 million upfront pre-payment during the fourth quarter of FY 2026. The funds will be used to advance the Begin-Lamarche project towards a feasibility study and later, production. The prepayment is subject to refund should First Phosphate decide not to pursue a feasibility study or production, neither of which we anticipate. In our view, the prepayment validates downstream interest and reinforces the strategic relevance of the Company’s integrated phosphate platform.

Final tranches of private placement. The Company closed the third and fourth tranches of its oversubscribed non-brokered private placement in December, raising approximately $9.6 million in gross proceeds and bringing total capital raised since June 2022 to approximately $49.7 million. Following recent warrant exercises and the offtake pre-payment, management indicates cash on hand of approximately $24 million, which we believe is sufficient to fund planned activities through 2026 and into 2027.

Why Critical Minerals Could Be the Next Big Frontier for Small-Cap Investors

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

The global shift toward electrification is accelerating, and with it comes a renewed focus on the minerals that make modern energy and technology possible. Lithium, nickel, graphite, phosphate, rare earths, and other essential materials are the backbone of batteries, solar panels, electric vehicles, and grid-scale storage. As nations push to secure supply chains and reduce dependence on foreign imports, the critical minerals sector is becoming one of the most strategically important areas in global markets. For small-cap investors, this creates a compelling landscape of early-stage opportunities.

Large producers tend to dominate the headlines, but the real innovation and discovery often originate in the junior and small-cap space. These companies take on the high-risk, early exploration work that can eventually create meaningful supply for downstream industries. While these stocks can be volatile, they also offer leverage to rising demand and tightening supply conditions that can dramatically reprice assets once the market recognizes their potential.

One example of this emerging potential can be seen in the phosphate segment. Phosphate is best known for its role in agriculture, but it is increasingly valuable as a component in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. This chemistry has become a preferred option for EV manufacturers and grid-storage systems due to its safety profile, long cycle life, and lower cost. As LFP adoption expands, the need for battery-grade phosphate grows alongside it.

Emerging growth companies such as First Phosphate have positioned themselves within this shift. While still small-cap in size, the focus on high-purity phosphate projects in geopolitically stable regions aligns with what major battery and automotive manufacturers are now seeking: secure, traceable, and environmentally responsible supply. These are qualities that the North American market in particular is trying to build as part of a broader strategy to reduce reliance on overseas sources.

Click here to watch First Phosphate’s corporate presentation at NobleCon21.

Beyond phosphate, other critical minerals are facing similar supply-demand pressures. Graphite remains essential for battery anodes, yet most production is concentrated in a single country. Rare earth elements are required for EV motors and wind turbines, but refining capacity is limited and slow to build. Nickel and manganese face challenges tied to environmental impacts and inconsistent global supply. In each of these segments, small-cap exploration and development companies are working to advance projects that could eventually scale into meaningful contributors to the supply chain.

For investors willing to put in the research, the small-cap critical minerals sector offers exposure to themes that are likely to play out over decades. Governments are investing heavily in domestic mineral strategies, electrification continues to expand worldwide, and technology companies are demanding reliable inputs to meet their production goals. These forces create a long runway for companies that can deliver high-purity materials at competitive costs.

Small-cap investing in this space still requires discipline. Projects take time to develop, capital needs can be significant, and not every discovery becomes a mine. But for investors looking for early entry points into the minerals reshaping the global energy landscape, this sector provides a combination of macro tailwinds and company-specific catalysts that can create real opportunity when approached carefully.
