RSS SubscribeOctober 19, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Graphite One Inc. (TSX-V: GPH; OTCQX: GPHOF) (“Graphite One,” “G1” or the “Company”), developer of the Graphite Creek Project (“Graphite Creek” or the “Project“) in Alaska, today highlighted growing awareness of the Project’s potential role in strengthening U.S. graphite supply chains, following an opinion article by a former White House official on America’s dependence on foreign sources of essential minerals.
In her October 16, 2026 op-ed, “America depends too much on China for essential minerals. We need to dig our future,” Victoria Coates — former Deputy National Security Advisor to the President and currently Vice President of Heritage Foundation’s Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy — identifies Graphite Creek as a resource that could help support a domestic graphite supply chain. Coates writes: “The U.S. Geological Survey has recognized it as the largest known graphite deposit in the United States and among the largest in the world, making it a national security asset… Graphite Creek represents the kind of strategic American resource that should fundamentally change the conversation about U.S. dependence on foreign sources.
