Exhibit 99.1

First Phosphate Positioned to Power America’sAutomated Manufacturing Revival with Secure, Domestic LFP Battery Material Supply Chain


SAGUENAY, Quebec – April 15, 2025 – First Phosphate Corp. (“First Phosphate” or the “Company”) (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) highlights its strategic role in driving the onshoring of American manufacturing by supplying the domestic Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery materials essential to factory automation and robotics.

The resurgence of American manufacturing hinges on robotics, factory automation, and grid-scale energy storage—technologies powered by LFP batteries. These phosphate-based batteries are favored for their safety, longevity, scalability, and are rapidly becoming the global standard in industrial automation. This technological transition, fueled by national trade and security policies, is expected by many to ignite a new industrial revolution in the United States.

The demand for industrial automation is expected to reach USD $307.7 billion in 2030. About 60% of all occupations could automate at least 30% of their tasks and boost global productivity by 1.5% annually creating 6 million jobs (Convergix).

Yet, a critical vulnerability threatens this momentum: the LFP battery supply chain is heavily concentrated in China. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including recently proposed U.S. tariffs of up to 125% on imports from China and potential Chinese export restrictions on LFP technology and rare earth materials, place America's manufacturing future at risk.

First Phosphate provides a direct and domestic solution. The Company has been actively building a North American LFP ecosystem, vertically integrated from mine to battery-grade material, to ensure supply chain security, transparency, and sovereignty.

“America stands at the cusp of a manufacturing revival driven by AI, robotics, and energy storage,” said John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate. “However, this future hinges on one critical factor: reliable, domestically sourced LFP battery material. First Phosphate reiterates its strategic role in supporting the future of American manufacturing and energy security.”
