Reflex Advanced Materials Corp. Announces Plan for Phase 2 of its Ruby Graphite Exploration Program

Reflex has engaged Ethos Geological ("Ethos") of Bozeman, Montana to oversee the exploration effort. Ethos is preparing a NI 43-101 Technical Report in respect of the Property, which is anticipated to be completed in Q1 2023. Ethos will assist in identifying potential graphite bearing structures and develop a geological model of the stratigraphy and structure. As a part of this, the Company plans to conduct a Q2 2023 drill program (the "Program"). Further details regarding the Program will be disclosed by the Company upon final receipt of the expected 43-101 technical report from Ethos.

As announced by the Company on January 6, 2023, Ethos' geologic investigations to date have suggested that the Project's geology formed from an ancient marine sequence of muds, silts and carbonates; that algal mats were known to be present in the Archean environment which aged more than 2.5 billion years ago; and that these sedimentary rocks were the likely source of carbon for the vein and flake graphite mineralization produced during metamorphism and later hydrothermal alteration.

The initial exploration activities that Ethos conducted in 2022 included detailed geological field mapping, rock sampling from over 25 locations within the Project claims, a soil survey, detailed photogrammetry, elevation modeling, acquiring a 100 line-km of surface electromagnetic data and an induced potential survey along three lines approximately 1500m in length at 50m dipole spacing. Ethos has submitted the previously mentioned rock samples to ALS Minerals, of Twin Falls, Idaho ("ALS') and is awaiting the assay results. Reflex will disclose these assay results following their receipt by Ethos.

The NI 43-101 Technical Report on the initial exploration work conducted in 2022 is expected to include recommendations for continued exploration work at the Project, plans for additional geophysical surveys and targets for a diamond core drill program to test high conductivity trends that Ethos has identified at the Project. Being that graphite is a highly conductive element, the electromagnetic conductivity trends identified by Ethos indicate the presence of additional graphitic bearing structures. The Company believes that these trends, coupled with the knowledge of Ruby being a past producing mine in the early 1900's and the presence of graphite outcrops at surface, are a strong indication of potential and significant graphite mineralization at the Property.

Additionally, Reflex anticipates the generation and release of an exploration target in late Q1 2023 using the IP geophysics and the new geologic knowledge developed as a result of the 2022 work program to facilitate drilling planned in 2023.

Paul Gorman, CEO of Reflex Advanced Materials, commented, "We are eagerly anticipating the results from the rock sample assays and publishing of Reflex's initial 43-101 Technical Report from the - 2022 exploration program conducted by our partners at Ethos. We plan to take full advantage of the data and recommendations in the Technical Report to generate drill targets for our planned drill program which we hope will begin to prove out the graphite mineralization at Ruby and move the Property towards commercial and sustainable production".

Ruby Graphite Project Background

The Ruby Graphite Project is located at the southwest portion of the Ruby Range mountains in southwestern Montana, approximately 14 miles (22 km) southeast of the town of Dillon, Montana. The Ruby project area consists of a combination of private and public lands totaling 1,945 acres (787 hectares) and includes 96 lode mining claims with a total size of 1,764 ac (714 ha). The Federal mining claims provide the rights to explore, mine and extract minerals from the lands.

The Project encompasses a previously mined natural graphite deposit which operated as the Crystal Graphite Company from 1901 until 1948, having produced more than 2,000 metric tonnes of vein graphite. A fire consumed the small concentration mill and part of the mining camp around 1950, and the location was abandoned and mostly forgotten. Reflex plans to resurrect the graphite production and become the only vein graphite mine in the U.S.

Reflex is committed to responsible exploration and development of its mineral assets and will adhere to all relevant environmental and safety regulations throughout the program.

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "could", "intend", "expect", "believe", "will", "projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements are intended to identify forward-looking statements and are based on the Company's current beliefs or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. All statements that are not historical facts, including without limitation, statements regarding future estimates, plans, programs, forecasts, projections, objectives, assumptions, expectations or beliefs of future performance, such as statements regarding: the Company's ability to identify potential graphite-bearing areas at the Project; the geological structure of the Project, including the source of carbon for the vein and flake graphite occurrences at the Project; the Company's belief that the conductivity trends, the graphite outcrops at surface and the past production at the Project are indicative of graphite mineralization at the Project; the proposed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Project, including the timing and contents thereof; the Company's ability to utilize the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Project to generate drill targets for future exploration work; future exploration work that the Company intends to complete on the Project and the timing thereof, including the Company's planned Phase 2 exploration program and its intention to conduct diamond drilling in Q2 2023; the Company's plans to resurrect the graphite production at the Project and become the only currently operating natural graphite mine in the U.S.; the Company's plans to disclose the assay results of the previous rock samples taken at the Project; and the Company's plans to adhere to all relevant environmental and safety regulations.

These forward-looking statements reflect the expectations or beliefs of management of the Company based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including expectations and assumptions concerning: the Company's ability to identify potential graphite -bearing areas at the Project; the structure and geology of the Project, including the source of carbon for the vein and flake graphite occurrences at the Project; that conductivity trends, graphite outcrops and past production at the Project are indicative of graphite mineralization; the Company's ability to complete a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Project on the timeline and containing the recommendations currently anticipated; the nature and timing of future exploration work by the Company on the Project; the Company's ability to advance the Project from the exploration stage to the development and production stage; that Ethos will receive the assay results in respect of the previous rock samples taken at the Project; and that the Company will be able to, and will successfully, comply with all relevant environmental and safety regulations.
