First Graphite Corp. Announces Option Agreement for Mt. Heimdahl Property

VANCOUVER, March 28, 2012 - First Graphite Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: FGR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a mining option agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated March 26, 2012, with Thomas Lewis (the "Optionor"), pursuant to which the Optionor has granted the Company an option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% interest in certain claims located in the Slocan Valley region of the province of British Columbia (the "Mt. Heimdahl Property").

The Mt. Heimdahl Property, totalling approximately 1045 hectares is located in the Valhalla Ranges, in high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Valhalla Complex, within the Omineca Crystalline Belt. Infrastructure is well developed in the Mt. Heimdahl Property area, as the property is approximately 35 kms south west of Nelson BC, or alternately 41 kms north east of Castlegar. There are existing forestry roads, and a high-tension power line that runs through Koch Creek, approximately 8 kms south of the property, where Eagle Graphite's beneficiation plant is located.

In consideration of the grant of the Option, the Company will pay $5,000 and issue 100,000 common shares of the Company to the Optionor within five business days of the date that the TSX Venture Exchange issues its approval of the agreement (the "Approval Date"). In order to maintain and exercise the Option, the Company must, by the first anniversary of the Approval Date, issue to the Optionor an additional 100,000 common shares of the Company and pay the Optionor an additional $5,000.
