Under the terms of the MoU, the parties will jointly investigate cooperation possibilities in various areas such as debt financing (project financing), energy production at site, mining services, graphite concentrate transportation from site-to-port and graphite product placement in the United States. No consideration is payable under the MoU. The parties will agree on the terms on which any such collaboration will be implemented (including financial terms) if and when they identify a suitable opportunity.

"Our efforts to capitalize on synergies will be further investigated over the coming months as we continue to develop and optimize the Lola graphite project" said Executive Chairman, Mr. Benoit La Salle. "We are excited about the possibilities this new partnership could provide the Project and SRG."

Credit Facility

Concurrently with the Sale, SRG has also entered into a Convertible Debt Agreement ("Debt Agreement") with Sama whereby Sama makes available to SRG a credit facility of up to US$5,000,000, bearing a 10% per annum interest rate which will be repayable in 12 months in cash or shares with a conversion price of $0.91 per SRG share at the election of Sama, as well as a bridge loan of C$1,000,000, bearing a 10% per annum interest rate and repayable in 12 months.

"We are very pleased to complete this two-fold bridge financing with Sama, which will allow us to concentrate our efforts on developing and financing the Lola Project," said Ugo Landry-Tolszczuk, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

In relation to the Debt Agreement, SRG is relying on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.
