ALABAMA GRAPHITE ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL RESULTS SHOWING LARGE FLAKES AND HIGH PURITIES ACROSS ALL FLAKE SIZES FROM ITS BAMA MINE PROJECT IN ALABAMA, USA
Alabama Graphite Corp. has released metallurgical results from three new composite samples taken from the upper 50 feet of the pit walls at the prior-producing Bama mine project in Chilton county, Alabama. Using only simple floatation (without optimization, chemical or thermal treatment) sample V1 showed a head grade of 4.06% C(t) with 49.4% in the large and jumbo flake +80 mesh size fraction (of which 14.5% is jumbo, +48 mesh), sample V2 had a head grade of 3.48% with 46.10% +80 mesh (of which 15.4% is +48 mesh) and V3 had a head grade of 3.58% C(t) and 30.2% in the +80 mesh category (of which 7.6% is +48 mesh). The total range of purities started from a low of 93.8% C(t) to a high of 97.9% C(t) across all three samples. Of note, the purities remained high even for the smaller flake sizes suggesting that the high purity could be maintained throughout the deposit using simple, less expensive, environmentally friendly, non-chemical processes. Graphite deposits are forced to either stockpile or sell at extremely low prices their small to medium flake because these flake sizes usually do not have high purities without expensive, chemical and heat treatment.The composite samples were taken from the existing pit wall from three different locations than that of the original sample reported from the Bama Mine Project on September 24, 2014. SGS Labs in Lakefield, Ontario, conducted analyses of the samples. SGS used 2 kg of feed material per sample for their analysis. Grinding, flotation and sieving analysis confirms preliminary results, which showed that the graphitic schists at the Bama Mine Project are notable both for their high proportion of large flakes and their purity.Complete results (including full results from the original sample released on September 24, 2014, Bama BLK#1) from the exploratory cleaning batch is presented in the table below:

* See Press Release dated September 24, 2014"The Bama Mine Project is showing very promising characteristics with high purity in all size fractions, low sulphur content in addition to a high percentage of coarse and jumbo flake," states Ron Roda, President and CEO of Alabama Graphite. "Our preliminary surface exploration program has indicated that the deposit is far from exhausted and further work will begin immediately."In other news, Alabama Graphite has received the required permits from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) to begin exploration. The Company will initiate a trenching program at the site within the next few weeks followed by drilling to delineate the extent of the graphitic mineralization at the Bama Mine Project.Rick Keevil, P. Geo., a Director of the Company and VP of Project Development, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the contents of this press release.
