Alabama Graphite Corp – Corporate Fact Sheet – September 2016

Sep 13, 2016

MISSION STATEMENT
Alabama Graphite Corp’s (AGC’s) mission is to build and advance AGC as a U.S. green-energy supply chain producer, with a mandate to address the needs of the rapidly expanding American lithium-ion battery industry.

OVERVIEW
Alabama Graphite Corp. is a Canadian-listed flake graphite exploration and development company as well as an aspiring battery materials production and technology company. The Company operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Alabama Graphite Company Inc. (a company registered in the state of Alabama). A highly experienced team leads the Company with more than 100 years of combined graphite mining, graphite processing, specialty graphite products and applications, and graphite sales experience.

Alabama Graphite Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of its flagship Coosa Graphite Project in Coosa County, Alabama — the most advanced stage flake graphite project in the United States of America — and its Bama Mine Project in Chilton County, Alabama.
The Coosa Graphite Project hosts an NI 43-101 Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 78.5 million tons grading 2.39% graphitic carbon (Cg) — the largest Indicated Mineral Resource of flake graphite in the United States of America. In late November 2015, Alabama Graphite Corp. announced the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Coosa Graphite Project, indicating a potentially low-cost project with potential positive economics. The PEA is based on the Coosa Graphite Project producing two finished (final) specialty, secondary-processed graphite products — a coated spherical graphite product (CSPG) and a purified micronized flake graphite product (PMG). The PEA is not modelled on producing a final run-of-mine (ROM) graphite concentrate product typical of other conventional flake graphite projects.
The Company announced positive results from the Coosa Graphite Project Pilot Plant in early February 2016. The pilot plant exceeded expectations in that a high carbon grade — averaging 96.7% Cg across all flake sizes — had been produced, meaning 100% of the concentrate to be produced via primary processing from the Coosa Graphite Project is expected to be suitable for secondary processing.
Alabama Graphite Corp. holds a 100% interest in the mineral rights for these two U.S.-based graphite projects, which are both located on private land. The two projects encompass more than 43,000 acres and are located in a geopolitically stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction with significant historical production of crystalline flake graphite in the flake graphite belt of central Alabama, also known as the Alabama Graphite Belt (source: U.S. Bureau of Mines).

AGC’S LITHIUM-ION BATTERY TESTING
On January 19, 2016, AGC announced positive independent preliminary electrochemical test results for its CSPG in CR2016 lithium-ion batteries. The AGC CSPG demonstrated a reversible capacity of 367.21 mAh/g at 1.80 V vs. Li/Li+ electrode, and an irreversible capacity loss of 5.09% in a proprietary electrolyte system at room temperature. In other words, 386.89 mAh/g of energy charge resulted in 367.21 mAh/g of energy discharge. The theoretical limit for graphite is 372 mAh/g. These results — representing a 94.91% efficient battery — are regarded as excellent in the lithium-ion battery industry and exceed the specifications of major battery manufacturers. Although preliminary, AGC management believes the low irreversible capacity loss of the Company’s CSPG may hold outstanding potential to lead to the production of higher capacity lithium-ion batteries.

SOURCED AND MADE IN USA
Alabama Graphite Corp. holds the potential to offer future U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy contractors a solution that is both sourced and manufactured in the USA. These organizations are encouraged to source their raw materials in the United states whenever possible. Additionally, sourcing American would afford these entities the associated United States sourcing benefits, as it pertains to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s ‘Made in USA’ labeling act and U.S. materials sourcing claims (source: U.S. Federal Trade Commission, 2014).
