TORONTO, April 7, 2021 - Gratomic Inc. ("GRAT", "Gratomic" or "the Company") (TSXV:GRAT)(OTCQX:CBULF)(FSE:CB82) is pleased to welcome Nico Scholtz Pr. Sci. Nat. (Reg. No. 400299/07) to the team. Nico is a Qualified Person (QP) under the JORC, SAMREC and National Instrument (NI) 43-101 legislation. With 20 years' experience in delineating and managing mineral exploration and near production projects globally, Gratomic is pleased to add Nico's experience to our Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia.

Nico is expected to arrive on the Aukam site tomorrow, April 8, 2021, where the drilling teams are currently running the infill drilling programs.

His experience in managing multiple exploration programs in early and advanced stages as well as using multidisciplinary techniques in mineral exploration, Nico has experience in precious and base metals projects in Botswana, China, Cote D'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Mozambique, Mali, Namibia, Suriname, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, serving as Chief Consulting Geologist and QP on several of the aforementioned. Scholtz also filled the role of QP in various projects that included rare and industrial metals, precious stones, fossil fuels, and uranium.

Scholtz obtained a M.Sc. degree (2003) in Geology at the University of the Free State, South Africa and was subsequently employed as lecturer at the same University (2004 to 2006). He authored and co-authored multiple scientific papers in peer reviewed journals and books and presented numerous oral and poster presentations at local and international scientific conferences. He has consequently been invited as guest speaker to various Scientific Symposiums in South Africa, Namibia and Europe with emphasis on mineral exploration in Africa.

"I would like to offer Nico a warm welcome to the Gratomic team. His experience and knowledge will be crucial to allow the Company to achieve its goals of reporting the results of its infill drilling program, and by joining efforts with Corne Coetser, our Head Geologist, we will have a top class team of Geology experts," commented Armando Farhate, COO & Head of Graphite Marketing and Sales.

Arno Brand, CEO & President said, "As a fellow Namibian, I have known Nico for a long time and have seen him at his best and couldn't be more thrilled to bring that experience to Gratomic."
