About Nouveau Monde Graphite

In 2015, Nouveau Monde discovered a graphite deposit on its Tony claims block, part of

its fully owned Matawanie graphite property. This discovery recently gave rise to the

publication of results from a Prefeasibility Study (PFS), released on October 25, 2 017 by

Nouveau Monde. This PFS demonstrated strong economics with a planned production of

52,000 tpy of high purity flake graphite concentrate, and a mine life of 27 years. The

Probable Mineral Reserves, identified over the West Zone of the Tony Block tota ls 33.0

Mt grading 4.39 % Cg. These Reserves are prepared in accordance with Canadian Institute

of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definitions Standards for mineral resources in

concordance with National Instrument 43 -101 – Standards of Disclosure for Min eral

renewable hydroelectric resources. Nouveau Monde’s team members are developing this
