Ceylon Graphite – Another Large Discovery and 99.9997% Cg Battery Ready Crystalline Graphite Confirmed With Testing

VANCOUVER, July 02, 2019 - Ceylon Graphite Corp. (“Ceylon Graphite”) (TSX-V: CYL) (OTC: CYLYF) (FSE: CCY) today announced that it has a made another large new discovery of a 55cm (1ft 6inches) wide crystalline graphite vein at its H1 site, in Meewitiya, Sri Lanka, N-216453 E-130314 under EL/222/R/2. The discovery was made during the digging of a new shaft at the site. The vein is partially exposed in the side wall of the shaft and its entire width (currently over 45 cms) will not be known until the digging work is completed. The shaft’s position was determined as a result of VLF survey work and drilling conducted at the site.

This discovery, coupled with the recent M1 discovery of another large crystalline graphite vein, clearly shows the robust potential of the Ceylon Graphite land bank. All four existing work sites, K1, M1, P1 and H1, have demonstrated large commercially-mineable graphite. The picture above show the size of the new H1 vein.

Ceylon Graphite also announced that American Energy Technologies Company has tested samples of graphite from the K1 and M1 sites and has certified that through simple Thermal Purification these samples can easily be upgraded and meet the specifications of marketable battery grade graphite. K1 graphite was upgraded to 99.9997wt% Cg and M1 graphite to 99.996 wt% Cg with very little cost incurred. These tests, conducted over the last month, confirm Ceylon Graphite’s near-term goal of producing a premium grade marketable battery grade product for prospective lithium-ion battery manufacturers and other energy storage end-users.

“We continue to find large crystalline graphite veins with purity that has not been seen elsewhere in the world,” said Bharat Prashar, Chief Executive Officer. “We have only begun to develop a small portion of our total land bank, and already we can be confident we may be the quickest-to-market new producer, with the highest quality graphite at the lowest costs seen in today’s market. We expect to be in commercial production imminently,” he added. “I am very confident Ceylon Graphite will have a significant impact on the graphite and lithium ion battery sectors in 2019 and beyond.”

About Ceylon Graphite Corp.

Ceylon Graphite Corp., is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (CYL:TSX-V), that is in the business of exploration and development of graphite mines in Sri Lanka. The Government of Sri Lanka has granted the company exploration rights in a land package of over 120km². These exploration grids (each one square kilometer in area) cover areas of historic graphite production from the early twentieth century and represent a majority of the known graphite occurrences in Sri Lanka. Graphite mined in Sri Lanka is known to be some of the purest in the world, and currently accounts for less than 1% of the world graphite production.
