VANCOUVER, July 30, 2023 - Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) ("Graphite One" or the "Company"), planning a complete domestic U.S. supply chain for advanced graphite materials, announces today that as part of its ongoing strategy to raise the profile of Graphite One and its Graphite One Project to investors, the Company has entered into a marketing services agreement (the "Agreement") with Northern Venture Group Inc. ("Northern Venture") to provide marketing services to enhance visibility with the institutional and retail investment community, effective August 1, 2023.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Northern Venture will provide research and sector reports, video creation, and digital marketing services to the Company for a monthly fee of CA$5,000 per month for a 12-month period (the "Service Period"). Upon completion of the Service Period, the Agreement automatically continues on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party with one month notice.

Northern Venture is arm's length to the Company and currently holds 100,000 common shares and 100,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company. The Agreement is subject to TSXV Exchange approval.

With the United States currently 100 percent import dependent for natural graphite, Graphite One is planning to develop a complete U.S.-based, advanced graphite supply chain solution anchored by the Graphite Creek resource. The Graphite One project plan includes an advanced graphite material and battery anode manufacturing plant expected to be sited in Washington State integrated with the development of the Graphite Creek Property. The plan includes a recycling facility to reclaim graphite and the other battery materials, to be co-located at the Washington State site, the third link in Graphite One's circular economy strategy.

Graphite One Inc. is developing its Graphite One Project (the "Project") to become an American producer of high-grade anode materials on a commercial scale integrated with a domestic graphite resource. The Project is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture anode materials primarily for the lithium?ion electric vehicle battery market. As set forth in the Company's 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study, graphite mineralization mined from the Company's Graphite Creek Property, situated on the Seward Peninsula approximately 35 miles north of Nome, Alaska, would be processed into concentrate at an adjacent processing plant. Natural and artificial graphite anode materials and other value?added graphite products would be manufactured from the concentrate and other materials at the Company's proposed advanced graphite materials manufacturing facility expected to be located in Washington State. The Company intends to make a production decision on the Project upon the completion of a Feasibility Study.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors
