Alabama Graphite Updates Technical Report for its Coosa Graphite Project
The substantial amount of work completed over the last six months prompted the Company to update the report. Major revisions include a substantial increase in the acreage held under mineral lease, the Surface Use Agreement to drill with Headwaters Investments, permitting with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) and a better understanding of the local geology. The most significant change, however, involves the completion of a drill program involving both diamond coring and sonic drilling. A total of 21,856.9 feet (6662m) were drilled in 69 holes within the project area. Assay results for 38 cores holes and seven sonic holes are included within the report.
Dr. Douglas Oliver, VP Exploration, comments, "The need to revise this report so soon after issuing the original is an indication of our rapid progress at the Coosa Project. Since last summer our level of knowledge regarding the graphite mineralization and the local geology has expanded by an order of magnitude. However, we emphasize that this should be regarded as an interim report. We are on track to having a compliant mineral resource estimate in hand this Spring. That will, of course, require us to issue a new technical report."

Forward-looking information
This release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, including, but are not limited to, statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as the anticipated timing of processing of drill core and the return of assay values, along with the determination of an initial mineral resource estimate.
Forward-looking information is based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including contracted parties being able to provide services on the agreed timeframes, 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.

Such factors include, among others, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of graphitic carbon; 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, 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.
