LION CSE GBBGF. OTCQB 0TD. F
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (March 25th, 2025) – Global Li-Ion Graphite
Corp. (“Global Li-Ion” or, the “Company”) (CSE: LION) is pleased to announce it has secured
the processing plant that processed the ore produced from the Ambato Arana area before its
acquisition by Lion, with the acquisition price to be determined by a third party. The plant
consists of grinding, flotation, filtering and drying sections. Historically the plant produced a
graphite concentrate assaying in the region of 94% C, with planned upgrades this is to be
improved to 98% C and an output level of 5,000 tonnes/year to be further increased to 15,000
tonnes/year, in step with increased ore production.
Chairman Jason Walsh commented “This was an important step in putting us in a better position
to restart production of the Ambato Arana Graphite project. With the US international trade
commission voting in favour of 920% tariffs on all Chinese Graphite products, non-Chinese
Graphite becomes ever more valuable and important to Global electrification And the USA is
making no contribution with the USGS reporting zero USA production of natural Graphite in
2024.” (Bloomberg News)
About Ambato-Arana Graphite Mine, Madagascar
The 3 forty -year renewable mining exploitation licenses that comprise the Project total 4,375
hectares (10,811 acres) are located in the vicinity of Andasibe in Toamasina Province in
Madagascar, 20 km to the southwest of Sheritt’s large-scale nickel/cobalt laterite open pit mine at
Ambatovy and 15 km northeast of the town of Moramanga from which national highway RN2
connects with capital city Antananarivo (114 km) and Madagascar’s main port of Toam asina
(Tamatave) (240 km). Graphite was produced on the lice nses, at a modest rate constrained by
the technology employed on the licenses at that time, for roughly a century from 1910. Production
was suspended by the previous owners due to a slump at the time in Global Graphite markets
and with the deposits only partially mined. The deposits are now ready for larger scale exploitation
with modern production techniques. They lie within the graphitic horizons of the highly prospective
Manampotsy Formation and are associated with topographic highs that are exploited v ia free
digging of lateritic ore and open pit mining, providing a lower cost exploitation without need for
blasting. The graphite mineralization on the Project appears within well-defined north-south belts
with interbedded graphite-rich friable layers. The geological layers of interest have continuity of
several kilometres and exhibit a shallow dip angle. Sample data indicate good grade (up to 10%
carbon content with some samples up to nearly 14%) and large flake (jumbo size) consistent with
other nearby mines e.g. Gallois (Elate Graphite), Sahamamy & Vatomina (Tirupati Graphite) and
DNI Metals’ Vohitsara (DNI Metals).
