Advancing the STREAM Graphene Refinery

Developed by Grapherry, Inc. (“Grapherry”) and Dr. Vikas Berry, Argo’s CEO and Grapherry’s founder, STREAM, a proprietary production platform exclusively licensed to Argo with a contractual pathway to full ownership, is being designed to convert carbon-rich feedstocks into advanced graphene materials while addressing key challenges associated with graphene commercialization, including scalability, material consistency, manufacturing efficiency and commercial integration.

A key anticipated attribute of STREAM is its ability to support two distinct material pathways: STREAM-G graphene and STREAM-O graphene oxide. The two materials possess different functional characteristics, providing Argo with the flexibility to potentially pursue applications across multiple industries rather than developing the technology around a single product or end market.

STREAM is also being designed to utilize multiple carbon-rich feedstocks, reducing reliance on mined natural graphite as the primary raw material and potentially providing advantages in raw-material sourcing, supply-chain resilience, production flexibility and manufacturing economics.

Argo is evaluating STREAM graphene and graphene oxide across multiple markets, including energy storage and batteries, AI infrastructure and data centres, semiconductors and advanced electronics, construction and infrastructure, composites and advanced materials, agriculture, coatings and industrial applications, and emerging technologies.

The Company’s commercialization strategy is focused on identifying applications where STREAM materials can deliver measurable performance advantages, validating those applications through testing and industry collaboration, and pursuing commercial opportunities through material supply, technology development, licensing and strategic partnerships.

Dr. Vikas Berry, Chief Executive Officer of Argo, states, “This financing represents an important step in executing our strategy to build a vertically integrated graphene refinery around the STREAM technology. Following years of research, development and successful pilot-scale production, our focus is now on advancing manufacturing capacity and commercial applications. STREAM is being developed to produce both graphene and graphene oxide from carbon-rich feedstocks and pursue opportunities across multiple high-growth industrial markets. We believe the proposed Chicago-area facility can provide the foundation for the next stage of Argo’s development.”

Dr. Berry is an internationally recognized graphene scientist, entrepreneur and founder of Grapherry. As inventor of the proprietary STREAM graphene production platform, author or co-author of more than 100 scientific publications and inventor on numerous patents, Dr. Berry has spent more than two decades developing scalable graphene manufacturing technologies and now leads Argo’s commercialization strategy.

Dr. Berry and Sean McAlpine, a director of Argo, are conducting a series of meetings in Germany and Switzerland, as well as other European countries, over the next two weeks to discuss the Company’s strategic plan, technology development activities and plans for advancing its North American graphene refinery.

Advanced Carbons Council Membership

Argo also recently joined the Advanced Carbons Council (“ACC”), an international industry organization focused on advancing the science, standards, commercial adoption and strategic deployment of advanced carbon materials.

The ACC serves carbon producers, industrial users, investors and governments across a broad range of advanced carbon materials and industry verticals. Its activities include standards and certification, testing and validation, market intelligence, application development, commercialization and industry collaboration.

Vancouver, British Columbia – (Newsfile Corp. – July 13, 2026) – Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO) (OTCQB: ARLSF) (FSE: 94Y) (“Argo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce encouraging initial performance results from its graphene oxide cement additive program utilizing graphene produced through the proprietary STREAM™ graphene production platform licensed exclusively from Grapherry, Inc. The Company also announces that it has become a member of the Advanced Carbons Council, further strengthening Argo’s participation within the global advanced carbon materials industry.

These developments represent important milestones as Argo continues executing its strategy of commercializing proprietary graphene technologies across multiple high-growth industrial markets.


Initial Commercial Validation of STREAM™ Technology


The graphene oxide (“GO”) used in the testing was manufactured utilizing Grapherry’s proprietary STREAM-G™ and STREAM-O™ production processes, directly linking the performance results to the proprietary technology platform that now forms the foundation of Argo’s long-term graphene commercialization strategy under its previously announced exclusive worldwide licence agreement.

Initial testing demonstrated that the addition of only 0.05 wt.% graphene oxide, equivalent to approximately five parts graphene oxide per 10,000 parts cement by weight, increased ultimate compressive strength by approximately 60% compared to control samples.

Testing was performed using ASTM-standard 2-inch by 2-inch cement specimens cured for seven days prior to compression testing. Importantly, the results were reproduced consistently across multiple independent test batches, providing encouraging early validation of the technology’s performance.

Graphene oxide functions as a nano-additive within cementitious materials by improving cement hydration, refining pore structure, reducing microcracking, and enhancing load transfer throughout the cement matrix. These improvements can be achieved using extremely low additive concentrations, making graphene oxide an attractive candidate for commercial-scale construction applications.

Management believes these initial results represent an important milestone in demonstrating that graphene produced using the proprietary STREAM™ platform can deliver meaningful and reproducible performance improvements under commercially relevant testing conditions.

While seven-day compressive strength testing provides valuable early performance data, the Company notes that 28-day compressive strength testing is the industry benchmark for structural concrete applications. Argo intends to continue its testing program and believes future 28-day results will provide additional validation as commercialization efforts continue.

Dr. Vikas Berry, Director of Argo Graphene Solutions and Founder of Grapherry, states, “One of the primary objectives in developing the STREAM™ technology platform was to produce graphene capable of delivering measurable performance improvements in commercially relevant applications. These initial results are particularly encouraging because they demonstrate a significant, reproducible increase in compressive strength using an extremely low graphene oxide dosage. While the industry typically references 28-day compressive strength results for structural concrete applications, these seven-day results provide an important early validation of the technology and establish a strong foundation for the next phase of testing and commercialization.”


Commercial Opportunity

Construction materials represent one of the world’s largest industrial markets.

The global cement market alone is estimated to exceed US$350 billion annually, while the broader concrete and construction materials sectors represent substantially larger market opportunities.

A consistent increase in compressive strength at extremely low graphene oxide loadings could provide manufacturers with greater flexibility to develop stronger concrete products or potentially reduce cement usage while maintaining required structural performance. Such advancements may provide both economic benefits and support industry efforts to reduce environmental impacts, particularly as cement production is estimated to account for approximately 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions.

Management believes graphene-enhanced cement represents one of several significant commercialization opportunities being pursued by the Company, alongside energy storage, semiconductors, advanced electronics, artificial intelligence infrastructure, agriculture, coatings, composites, and advanced industrial materials.


Joining the Advanced Carbons Council

Argo is also pleased to announce that it has joined the Advanced Carbons Council (ACC), an international industry association dedicated to advancing the commercialization of advanced carbon materials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, and related technologies.

The Council promotes collaboration among industry participants, supports technical and regulatory initiatives, encourages commercialization of advanced carbon materials, and provides members with opportunities to participate in industry working groups, technical discussions, and market development initiatives.

Management believes membership in the Advanced Carbons Council will enhance Argo’s visibility within the rapidly evolving graphene industry while supporting the Company’s long-term commercialization strategy through increased collaboration with technology developers, manufacturers, researchers, and potential commercial partners.

Sean McAlpine, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Argo Graphene Solutions, commented, “These encouraging initial results represent the first commercial validation of the proprietary STREAM™ technology since its integration into Argo. While additional testing remains underway, including industry-standard 28-day cure testing, we believe these results demonstrate the potential of our graphene platform to address meaningful opportunities within the global construction materials industry.

ARGO GRAPHENE SOLUTIONS CORP (“ARGO-Z”) – Positive Preliminary Results from Graphene-Enhanced Cement – Testing for Stucco Applications and 3D Construction Printing Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (“Argo” or the “Company”), a company focused on the development and commercialization of graphene-enhanced products for construction and agricultural applications, reports positive preliminary results from testing involving the integration of graphene dispersion into cement-based materials used for stucco scratch coat applications and cement formulations intended for 3D construction printing.

The testing program evaluated a graphene-enhanced cement mixture against a conventional cement formulation. During the trial, Argo’s graphene additive was blended directly into a cement-based scratch coat mixture at a specified dosage to assess its impact on workability, adhesion, and early-stage performance.

Initial observations indicated the graphene-enhanced formulation demonstrated improved consistency and spreadability during application, with no issues encountered during mixing or placement. The Company observed enhanced bonding characteristics and a noticeably denser surface compared with the standard scratch coat formulation.

Comparative testing also evaluated water permeability characteristics between the graphene-enhanced cement scratch coat and the conventional control mixture. Following an appropriate curing period, water did not penetrate completely through the graphene-enhanced scratch coat under the test conditions, consistent with previously reported performance characteristics of graphene-enhanced cement materials.

The Company continues to monitor additional performance indicators including curing behavior, freeze-thaw resistance, accelerated wind and heat exposure, surface strength development, and compatibility with subsequent brown and finish stucco coats. Additional data will be collected in the coming days and weeks to further evaluate long-term performance factors such as crack resistance, durability, and structural stability.

Argo is evaluating the potential application of its graphene dispersion technology in cement formulations designed for 3D construction printing, where improved rheology, material cohesion, and structural strength may contribute to more efficient additive manufacturing of concrete structures.

“Early observations from this testing program are encouraging,” said Scott Smale, President and CEO of Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. “Graphene-enhanced cement technologies continue to demonstrate potential for improving performance characteristics in construction materials. We look forward to completing the remaining phases of testing and advancing toward potential commercial applications.”

The Company expects to complete the current testing program within the coming week and will evaluate the results as part of its broader strategy to develop graphene-enhanced construction materials.

About 3D Housing Construction Market and Graphene

Construction-scale 3D printing (“3D construction printing” or “3DCP”) is emerging as a rapidly growing segment of the global construction industry as governments and builders seek faster, more efficient methods to address housing shortages and rising construction costs.

Independent market research projects significant growth in the sector. Grand View Research estimates the global 3D construction printing market at approximately US$53.9 million in 2024, with forecasts reaching US$4.18 billion by 2030, reflecting rapid adoption of automated construction technologies.1

Growth in the sector is driven by several structural factors, including:

• Global housing shortages requiring scalable building solutions
• Skilled labour shortages across the construction industry
• Faster construction timelines enabled by automated building systems
• Reduced material waste and improved sustainability

3D construction printing uses automated extrusion systems that layer cementitious materials to create structural building components. These systems require specialized material formulations capable of balancing pumpability, flow consistency, buildability, and early structural integrity while maintaining long-term durability.

Argo believes graphene-enhanced cement materials may help optimize these formulations. Graphene has been widely studied for its ability to improve mechanical strength, density, crack resistance, and water resistance in cement-based materials-properties that may benefit 3D printed construction where interlayer bonding strength, curing behavior, and structural stability are critical.

Based on the Company’s preliminary testing results, Argo’s graphene dispersion technology demonstrated improved consistency, adhesion characteristics, and reduced water permeability compared with conventional cement formulations. These characteristics may support the development of 3D printable cement mixes designed for automated construction systems.

The Company intends to continue evaluating opportunities within the emerging 3D construction ecosystem through:

• Ongoing material formulation testing and optimization for 3D printed cement applications
• Potential collaborations with construction technology providers and builders active in the sector
• Continued development of graphene-enhanced construction materials designed to improve durability and performance

Argo believes that the combination of graphene-enhanced cement materials and automated construction technologies could represent a significant long-term opportunity within the construction materials sector.

Furthermore, the Company is pleased to announce that pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, Argo’s board of directors has granted 250,000 incentive stock options to a director of the Company, which will vest immediately.

Each option will allow the holder to purchase one common share of the company at a price of $0.65 per common share. The incentive stock options have a term of three years, expiring May 6, 2028. The options are subject to a four-month hold from the grant date.

Vancouver, British Columbia – (December 22, 2025) – Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO) (OTCQB: ARLSF) (FSE: 94Y) (“Argo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of the 56-day compressive strength test on its graphene-infused concrete mix poured in Bristol, Tennessee on October 17, 2025.

This follows the previously reported 28-day results announced on November 20, 2025. The test, conducted by Diversified Materials Testing LLC in Bristol, Tennessee, in accordance with ASTM C39 standards, involved cylinder samples from the initial pour of three on-grade slabs totaling 12.5 cubic meters (two 20-foot-by-30-foot slabs and one 15-foot-by-25-foot slab). The design mix targeted 4,000 psi compressive strength.

Key results

• 7-day strength: 3,428 psi
• 28-day strength: 4,449 psi (11% increase over design)
• 56-day strength: 4,974 psi (24.35% increase over the 4000 PSI design. The Argo graphene additive mix consists solely of a graphene and water dilution design, “without” additional enhancing additives such as superplasticizers)

These results further validate Argo’s proprietary graphene formulation, demonstrating continued strength gain over time and superior performance compared to standard concrete.

“The 56-day compressive strength results are encouraging to show our testing is running increased benefits without compromising existing known industry processes in construction for mixing, delivery, and installation etc. The 25% verification increase with no additional enhancing additives now creates a go forward performance baseline to effectively use “as is” or design any graphene-based additive for Argo Graphene cement, concrete products and asphalt.
This confirms the long-term benefits and market integration of our graphene-enhanced concrete,” said Scott Smale, Chief Executive Officer of Argo. Our facility in Regina, Saskatchewan, will enable us to refine and scale this technology for broader market adoption.”
