Alabama Graphite Contracts Airborne Geophysical Surveys for its Alabama and Ontario Projects
February 27, 2014 - VANCOUVER, Canada - Alabama Graphite Corp. (the "Company") (CSE: ALP) (OTC: ABGPF) (FRANKFURT: A1G.F WKN: A1J35M) (ISIN# CA0102931080) is pleased to announce that it has contracted with Prospectair Geosurveys, Inc., to conduct airborne geophysical surveys of both its Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama and the Hearst Graphite Project in Ontario.
The Company has contracted to have airborne Time-Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM), Magnetic (MAG), and Radiometric (SPEC) surveys conducted on its extensive Coosa Project in east-central Alabama. Electromagnetic surveys have long been recognized as the most effective geophysical tool for identifying areas with graphitic mineralization. Magnetic surveys performed in conjunction with the electromagnetic surveys allow for the differentiation of possible sulfide mineral conductors. Finally, the reported correlation between uranium and vanadium minerals with graphite in the Alabama graphitic schist belt suggests that radiometric surveys may also be a valuable tool. Prospectair will also conduct TDEM and MAG of the Hearst Graphite Property in Ontario, which is located 35 km east of Zenyatta Venture's Albany Hydrothermal Graphite Deposit.
"Surveys of both properties are expected to be completed by mid-March," said Ron S. Roda, President of the Company. The results from the airborne surveys will be used in conjunction with existing data to guide future exploration and metallurgical work at both projects.

Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "planning", "planned", "expects" or "looking forward", "does not expect", "continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate" or "belief" or describes a "goal" or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking information is based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, the result of drilling and exploration activities, that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes, that equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages or delays are incurred, that plant and equipment function as specified, that no unusual geological or technical problems occur, and that laboratory and other related services are available and perform as contracted. Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of graphite; possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of exploration, as well as those factors disclosed in the company's publicly filed documents. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
