American Graphite Identifies Flake Graphite Mineralization and Stakes Additional Lands at Lac Rouge Graphite Prospect in Quebec, Canada

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jan 25, 2016) - American Graphite Technologies Inc. ("AGIN" or the "Company") (OTCBB: AGIN) is pleased to announce the completion of exploration work on its 100% owned Lac Rouge Graphite Project located near TIMCAL's Lac des Iles graphite mine in the province of Quebec. Flake graphite mineralization was identified on the property during fieldwork that included prospecting, geological mapping and surface sampling. Flake size of graphite mineralization observed in the field samples is in the range of 1-3 mm. This type of large flake graphite in its naturally occurring form is required for producing high purity, technology grade graphite commercially.

The exploration work also identified graphite mineralization on adjacent grounds; therefore, the Company has staked additional prospective ground in the vicinity of the existing claims. A total of 15 new claims were staked covering an approximate area of 885 hectares (2,186 acres), and their details will be provided as soon as the claims are granted by the Quebec Ministry for Natural Resources and Mines (MRNF Quebec).

A total of 44 grab surface samples were collected during the fieldwork. The samples were submitted to SGS Laboratories, Lakefield, Ontario, which are globally accredited laboratories for geochemistry and metallurgy.

President and CEO of American Graphite Technologies Inc. Con Anast said, "We were lucky with the weather and consequently able to undertake initial exploration work sooner than expected. The sampling data is now being analyzed, and we expect to be able to provide a further update on assays, claim staking and future exploration plans very soon."

LAC ROUGE GRAPHITE PROPERTY - KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• 100% ownership of 84 mineral claims covering approximately 5,000 hectares of land in Quebec, Canada. Additional 15 claims covering approximately 885 hectares were staked in 2015, waiting for approval from MRNF Quebec.
• Located within 3 miles of a world class, high-grade graphite deposit (TIMCAL's Lac des Iles mine has been in production since 1989 with a capacity of 25,000 tons of graphite annually. Source: https://www.mern.gouv.qc.ca/mines/industrie/mineraux/mineraux-exploitation-graphite.jsp).
• Underlain by the same geological environment as the TIMCAL mine, consisting of Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Province, which includes quartzofeldspathic rocks, quartzite, biotite gneiss, limestone/marble and locally pegmatitic quartzofeldspathic rocks.
• Excellent infrastructure support with road accessibility, located 150km from Montreal. Water, power and manpower are all available locally.
• Available airborne geophysical data from MRNF indicates a large magnetic anomaly on the property, which can be a potential target for future graphite exploration work. The anomaly covers an area of approximately 4 square kilometres.

ABOUT AMERICAN GRAPHITE TECHNOLOGIES INC

American Graphite Technologies Inc. is a mineral exploration and technology development company. By concentrating on securing graphite mining opportunities and the commercialization of graphene specific proprietary technology methods, management is actively seeking profitable opportunities and to maximize shareholder value. Graphene has been described as the "miracle material" of the 21st Century and is believed to be stronger than steel and more conductive than copper while being flexible, making it plausible as a replacement for silicon, possibly leading to thinner, faster, cheaper, more flexible devices including power sources. The crystalline or flake form of graphite consists of many two-dimensional graphene sheets stacked together. In 2010 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov for groundbreaking experiments regarding graphene. The demand for batteries, primarily nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion batteries, have caused a growth in graphite demand as it is used to construct anodes in all major battery technologies. This growth is driven by portable electronics, such as laptops, mobile phones, tablets, Smartphone and power tools. Electric vehicle batteries are anticipated to further increase graphite demand. As an example, a lithium-ion battery in a fully electric Nissan Leaf contains nearly 40 kg of graphite.
