Saint Jean Carbon Starts Spring Work Program and NI 43-101 Technical Report on Clot

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 20, 2015) - Saint Jean Carbon Inc. ("Saint Jean" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SJL) is pleased to announce that it has started a spring work program on its Clot lump graphite property. Upon completion of the work the Company will also prepare a preliminary technical report that will outline future work programs. As announced in its January 14, 2014 press release, the Clot property is located in southern Québec, 10 kilometres north-west of Mont-Tremblant and approximately 150km north-west of Montreal. The property is made up of 5 established claims and 3 claims under request for a total area of more than 297.4 hectares. The claims are believed to host a geological contact between paragneiss and granite which is known to be conducive to also hosting natural graphite.

Saint Jean Carbon is also pleased to announce that they have hired Dr. Christian Derosier to oversee the Clot project and complete a future work requirement program. Dr. Derosier is a professional Canadian geologist with more than 40 years of mining experience working across a diverse range of minerals in projects in Africa, Canada, China, Europe, and the US. He has a Diploma in Physical, Chemical, and Natural Sciences (S.P.C.N.) from the University of Paris, France; as well as his M.Sc., Geology and D.Sc. Geology both also from the University of Paris. He has carried out dozens of worldwide assignments that have included economic impact studies; mineral resource evaluations; acted as QP during the completion of numerous technical reports; supervised drill programs; and advised multiple senior and junior mining companies during project feasibility studies. In reviewing the Clot property Christian Derosier commented: "The Clot property is in a historical past producing area. The property falls within the same geological and regional areas as Saint Jean's Walker, Wallingford and St. Jovite graphite properties and this region has a long history of graphite mining. Accordingly we think it is an excellent place to continue Saint Jean's development work."

Paul Ogilvie CEO commented on the work program as well, "We are looking forward to getting on the Clot property in the next few weeks as conditions permit. The spring program will include a grab sampling program, trenching, and a shallow drill program. The number of drill holes will be finalized once we have the opportunity to begin working the property and complete an initial assessment of the most appropriate target areas. We will provide additional updates to our shareholders as the program moves forward and our pleased to be able to continue our efforts to add value to Saint Jean Carbon. As compared to other developments in graphite in the province of Quebec, we note that Clot is located on public land, which is a distinct advantage when it comes to future permitting and land usage issues."

The Company's geologist, Dr. Christian Derosier, P. Geo., is an Independent Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, and has approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.
