Vancouver, B.C and Montreal, Quebec November 10, 2016– Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR, OTC:

LMRMF, FSE: DH8B) and Canada Strategic Metals Inc. (“Strategic Metals””) (TSX.V: CJC; FSE: YXEN; OTC-BB: CJCFF)

are pleased to announce a permit has been received for 1500-2000 metres of drilling for the La Loutre Property. The

work will focus on the new Refractory Zone discovered in December, 2015. Although the zone has excellent results,

there was not enough drill holes completed to add the zone to the 43-101 Resource Calculation released February

9th, 2016.

"The Properties are located close to the Imerys Carbon and Graphite Mine and benefits from similar infrastructure

advantages and similar flake graphite grade, deposit size and near surface mineralization amenable to low cost, small

footprint extraction. All of these elements make this an excellent candidate for a positive Pre-Economic

Assessment.", stated A. Paul Gill, CEO, Lomiko Metals Inc., “Additional resource definition in the Refractory Zone will

bolster the PEA.”

On February 9th, 2016, Lomiko Metals and Canada Strategic announced resource for the La Loutre Flake Graphite

Property of 18.4 M Tonnes of 3.19% Indicated and 16.7 M Tonnes at 3.75% Flake Graphite Inferred with a cut-off of

1.5%. The sensitivity table also features 4.1 M Tonnes of 6.5% Indicated and 6.2 M Tonnes at 6.1% Flake Graphite

Inferred with a cut-off of 3%. The Resource is calculated on the Graphene-Battery Zone only and does not include

recent high grade intercepts of 28.5 Metres of 16.53% Cg and 21.5 Metres of 11.53% Cg reported January 6, 2016

and 9% over 90.75 metres reported September 24th 2015 from the Refractory Zone.

The La Loutre property consists of contiguous claim blocks totalling approximately 2,867.29 hectares (28.67

km2situated approximately 53 km east of Imerys Carbon and Graphite, formerly known as the Timcal Graphite Mine,

North America’s only operating graphite mine, and 117 km northwest of the International Port of Montreal, key to

shipping to North America and Europe. The Lac des Iles Property is directly west of the Imerys Graphite Mine. Lomiko

is currently completing the 2nd option to acquire 80% of the La Loutre and Lac des Iles properties which requires

$580,000 work expenditure between La Loutre property and others Canada Strategic properties.

The La Loutre Resource is constrained within a drilled area of approximately 900 m along the N150° striking trend of

the graphitic paragneiss, 250 m across the strike and 225 m below surface. Geological interpretation and estimation

were based on 62 NQ drill holes (totaling 8193.3 m) drilled by Lomiko and Canada Strategic Metals in 2014 and 2015.

Mason Graphite is now focused on obtaining all permits required to begin construction in 2016, with the aim of achieving production in 2017.

Dunque se tutta andrà bene, finalmente, nel 2017 inizierà la produzione di grafite.
Penso che sarà la prima miniera canadese a produrre minerale.

Mi domando come mai la miniera Svedese di Leading Edge Materials non sia entrata in funzione. Forse attualmente il prezzo della grafite è ancora troppo basso e quindi rende antieconomica la sua estrazione.

Per la grafite i presupposti sono più che buoni, ma al momento le aziende impegnate nel settore soffrono tremendamente e i corsi azionari sono ridotti al lumicino.
 
MASON GRAPHITE PROVIDES DETAILS ON THE PROGRESS OF THE VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS STUDY AND CONTRIBUTIONS AND GRANT OF $657,000

November 15th, 2016


Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Mason Graphite Inc. ("Mason Graphite" or the "Company") (TSX.V: LLG; OTCQX: MGPHF) is pleased to provide details on the progress, and upcoming work schedule, of its detailed study for large scale production of value-added graphite products, which was initiated in 2015. The Company is also pleased to announce obtaining contributions and grant, which will be applied to the related work program.

Value-added processing, or "2nd Transformation", includes micronization, additional purification, spheronization and coating, resulting in graphite products suitable for a wide range of technical applications (including carbon brushes, brake linings, plastics and lubricants), electrochemical applications (including alkaline batteries, Li-ion batteries and fuel cells), as well as other specialized uses. Mason Graphite has been working on product development and manufacturing processes with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), COREM and Hatch.


Specifically for Li-ion anode materials, a Benchmarking Phase, necessary to establish the specifications of the products currently being used, was completed in 2015. Following a new agreement with NRC, the Company has begun the Development Phase in order to design, based on materials coming from its own Lac Guéret deposit, a generic grade for common Li-ion batteries and a grade specifically aimed at the electric vehicle industry. The work done on the latter product is based on information, related to customers’ specifications, gathered by the Company and NRC.

Following this Phase, an extensive and thorough Testing Phase will take place and simulate real Li-ion cell environments and equivalent lifetime of a battery. Such tests shall be conducted in parallel at both NRC and at customers’ facilities. During that period of tests, Mason Graphite intends to bring the current detailed study to feasibility level, including the plant design and detailed engineering, in order to be construction-ready at the end of the Testing Phase; this plant is aimed to be adjacent to the 1st Transformation plant. As such, at the beginning of the Testing Period, the Company will obtain a sufficient level of understanding regarding the volumes required by those customers in order to design the appropriate production capacity.


The processes described, necessary to the homologation of such materials, are based on more than 20 years of experience in processing and marketing different types of graphite and other carbon products to the alkaline and Li-ion battery industries.

The equipment trials and product testing required for other grades of value-added products requiring only purification and/or micronization are ongoing and embedded in the work program of the battery materials.

The budget allowed for this detailed study amounts to $1,070,000.

In order to finance this work, Mason Graphite is pleased to announce that it has secured the following financial contributions and grant:

 $107,000 contribution from "Innovation et Développement Manicouagan", which supports projects that will help the economic diversification of the Manicouagan region, where the Company’s project is located;

 A contribution of up to $500,000 from National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP); and

 $50,000 grant from the Quebec government ministry ‘’Économie, Science et Innovation’’ under the ‘’Passeport innovation’’ program.

Benoît Gascon, President and CEO of Mason Graphite, commented: "We are very pleased with the work done so far with our partners and very encouraged by the level of collaboration of eventual customers as we continue the product design. The value-added market as a whole, not only battery materials, has the potential to markedly improve the economics of an already very compelling project." The potential of the value-added graphite products is not included in the economics of the definitive feasibility study results published in September 2015 which were based solely on the 1st Transformation.


In 2015, the Québec Government launched a responsible action plan providing structure and direction aimed at making Québec, with its abundant supply of clean and affordable energy, an electric transportation leader. More information at: www.transportselectriques.gouv.qc.ca/en/.

Building on this initiative, Mason Graphite has been working since 2015 with NRC and their experts in vehicle propulsion technology and battery materials.

And, Focus continues to hold its 18% equity interest in Grafoid. This investment, now worth some US$39m, provides the company with an asset it can appreciate or use for Lac Knife’s development.

Davvero non capisco, tutta la Focus Graphite quota in borsa 13 milioni di $ e il solo investimento in Grafoid vale 39 milioni di $ ( a meno che intendano che posseggono il 18% di 38 milioni, quindi 6,84 milioni di $).
 
Zenyatta Produces High-Purity Graphite Market Sample Designed to Provide Material for Further Validation by Global Corporations for Li-ion Battery, Fuel Cell and Graphene Applications

Thunder Bay, ON



21 November 2016



Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. (“Zenyatta” or “Company”) (TSXV: ZEN) today announced it has produced a larger market sample designed to provide samples to various global corporations and academic institutions for application testing under a non-disclosure agreement. The program was announced on 26 September 2016 and carried out at SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) in Lakefield, Ontario under the supervision of Zenyatta’s project manager James Jordan, P.Eng. A total of 57 kilograms of high-purity graphite material at a carbon purity of 99.9% was produced using the caustic bake/leach method, which was previously employed to produce high-purity market samples.

This (Part 1) market sample will permit continued graphite and graphene validation testing by potential end-user partners, academic institutions and third party testing facilities under Zenyatta’s general market and business development program. This latest sample was prepared from concentrate produced during a flotation pilot plant completed in 2014. Previous test work on small market samples successfully confirmed the Albany graphite to have a very good crystal structure (hexagonal) with a very desirable purity and particle size for various applications such as lithium ion batteries, fuel cells, powder metallurgy and graphene production.

Dr. Bharat Chahar, VP of Market Development for Zenyatta stated, “Production of high-purity graphite market samples is critical and necessary in order to create and develop relationships with end-users during the product qualification and testing process. We will now contact our collaborators who are on a wait-list and prepare for delivery of samples in the coming days.”

Part 2 of the SGS metallurgical work announced on 26 September 2016 is underway and will focus on optimization of flow sheet parameters followed by a pilot scale simulation of a commercial process designed for Zenyatta’s pre-feasibility study. This optimization and pilot program will be on-going for the next several months and completed in early 2017.

James Jordan, P.Eng., Project Manager for Zenyatta stated, “We are making very good progress on optimizing the process flow sheet and are continuing to develop a distinctive commercial process for our rare volcanic style graphite deposit. Optimizing is a common exercise in mineral development and I have been involved in many over the course of my career. Once ready, the complete process flow sheet and associated engineering data will then be fed into the pre-feasibility study.”

Zenyatta Ventures Ltd is developing the Albany Graphite Deposit situated in northeastern Ontario, Canada. The deposit is a unique type of igneous-hosted, fluid derived graphite mineralization contained in two large breccia pipes. The Company is seeking end users for their graphite and graphene and is working with several collaborative partners including the development of a graphene infused concrete. Other potential markets for graphite include Li-ion batteries, fuel cells and powder metallurgy. The application for graphitic material is constantly evolving due to its unique chemical, electrical and thermal properties. It maintains its stability and strength under temperatures in excess of 3,000°C and is very resistant to chemical corrosion. It is also one of the lightest of all reinforcing elements and has high natural lubricating abilities. The outlook for the global graphite market is very promising with demand growing rapidly from new applications. It is now considered one of the more strategic elements by many leading industrial nations, particularly for its growing importance in high technology manufacturing and in the emerging “green” industries such as electric vehicle components.

The Albany graphite deposit is situated 30 km north of the Trans-Canada Highway, power line and natural gas pipeline near the communities of Constance Lake First Nation and Hearst. A rail line is located 70 km away with an all-weather road approximately 10 km from the graphite deposit. The world trend is to develop products for technological applications that need extraordinary performance using ultra-high purity graphite powder at an affordable cost. Albany graphite can be upgraded with very good crystallinity without the use of aggressive acids (hydrofluoric) or high temperature thermal treatment therefore having an environmental advantage over other types of upgraded high-purity graphite material.

Mr. Aubrey Eveleigh, P.Geo., Zenyatta’s President and CEO, is the “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed, prepared and supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in this news release. SGS performed analyses of all purified Albany graphite samples by direct ash analysis using a platinum crucible, according to a validated method that also accurately quantifies key trace level impurities by subsequent ICP analysis.
