This is a very special day for Triton as this binding commercial agreement is with a graphite specialist organisation that has mined, manufactured and sold expanded graphite products for nearly 20 years.

We are both proud and fortunate to be associated with a world-recognised and large-capacity graphite Company that supplies materials for some of the world's most distinguished electronics and technology Companies."

Tests in our laboratory on the TMG material performed well beyond our highest expectations and we feel TMG is ideally suited to support and build our diverse range of expandable graphite products. The long term supply of high quality TMG will not only allow our Company to develop competitively priced products for the global markets but will also contribute, indirectly, to the long term economic growth of Mozambique."

TRITON ACHIEVEMENTS

At this time last year Triton had yet to commence the exploration drilling program at Nicanda Hill. Within an eleven month period Triton has not only achieved its initial objective of a proof of concept exploration program, but has reported the world's largest known flake graphite and vanadium JORC 2012 resource. In addition, Triton has completed a scoping study, commenced environmental and permitting activities and commenced a definitive feasibility study.

Recently, Triton has secured a premier exploration and development strategic partnership with AMG Mining and, most significantly, secured an initial binding off-take agreement that will underpin the development of the TMG projects (Figure 6). With an Australian dollar equivalent value of at least $2.6Billion, the Company's intent is to rapidly develop the TMG projects into production and maintain a secure revenue stream to create genuine long term value for Triton's shareholders.


CONCLUSIONS

Triton is working towards establishing TMG as the global graphite-industry benchmark by aiming to offer the world's lowest cost and most diversified graphite product range, together with the longevity of a reliable supply of high quality flake graphite.

Triton considers the initial binding off-take agreement with Yichang Xincheng Graphite Co., Ltd, which is possibly one of the largest and longest materials supply contracts made in the graphite market and is very significant with respect to any mineral commodity, to be an encouraging major milestone in the development of the TMG projects.

The implementation of this agreement demonstrates the strategic importance and growth potential of graphite-based technologies.

Triton is continuing to pursue further off take opportunities around the world.
