ABOUT GRAPHITE ONE RESOURCES INC.
GRAPHITE ONE RESOURCES INC. (GPH: TSX-V; GPHOF: OTCQB) continues to develop its Graphite One
Project (the “Project”), whereby the Company could potentially become an American producer of high
grade Coated Spherical Graphite (“CSG”) that is integrated with a domestic graphite resource. The Project
is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture high grade CSG
primarily for the lithium -ion electric vehicle battery market. As set forth in the Company’s Prelimina r y
Economic Assessment, potential graphite mineralization mined from the Company’s Graphite Creek
Property, is expected to be processed into concentrate at a graphite processing plant. The proposed
processing plant would be located on the Graphite Creek Property situated on the Seward Peninsula about
60 kilometers north of Nome, Alaska. CSG and other value-added graphite products, would likely be
manufactured from the concentrate at the Company’s proposed graphite product manufacturing facility,
the location of which is the subject of further study and analysis. The Company intends to make a
production decision on the Project once a feasibility study is completed.
