FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SRG Achieves 96% Graphite Purity Via Simple Flotation
Montreal, Quebec, August 22, 2017 – SRG Graphite Inc. (TSXV: SRG) (“SRG” or the “Company”)
today announced that recent laboratory metallurgica l tests conducted by ProGraphite GmbH utilizing a
simple flotation procedure yielded graphite concent rates of up to 96% purity. Results, which were
achieved through a simple flotation and attrition c ontinue to corroborate the important potential of t he
Lola Graphite Project in Guinea, West Africa.
Tests conducted on Lola Graphite Deposit weathered mineralized material using an inexpensive and
environmentally friendly flotation and attrition pr ocess resulted in grades of >95% graphitic carbon
(“ Cg% ”). Results also demonstrated that valuable large flakes could essentially be preserved during the
process, representing a value product for offtakers and end-users. The table below summarized the
results.
Flake size mm Proportion
% %Cg %Ash
+ 45 Mesh (Jumbo) >0.35 46.4 96.0 3.9
+ 80 Mesh (Large) >0.18 33.5 95.0 4.8
+ 100 Mesh (Medium) >0.15 15.3 94.3 5.7
- 100 Mesh (Fine) <0.15 4.9 90.8 8.7
“The valuable large and jumbo flakes combined with a high carbon grade concentrate demonstrate the
excellent quality of the Lola Graphite Deposit,” sa id Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, President and CEO. “We
are pleased that recent test results delivered sign ificantly higher carbon content when compared to
previous tests, yet maintained favourable coarse flake size distribution. Additionally, ProGraphite GmbH
advised us that the potential for even higher carbon content by flotation is still a possibility.”
The Lola Graphite deposit is present at surface ove r 8.7 kilometers with an average width of 370
meters, and up to 1,000 meters wide. The first 20 t o 30 meters or so of the deposit are well weathered
(lateralized), freeing graphite flakes from the silicate gangue and allowing for easy grinding with optimal
recovery of all large and jumbo flakes. The graphit e mineralization continues at depth within the non-
weathered sheared gneiss. Impurities known to cause trouble in various applications, such as sulfur,
aluminum, vanadium, molybdenum or others heavy metals are naturally only found in very low levels in
the Lola graphite concentrate.
