Alabama Graphite Corp. Announces 99.999% Certified Graphite Purity in a Single Pass via Proprietary, Environmentally Sustainable Purification Process; Provides Complete Elemental Analysis

The Energy Graphite™ Company
Sourced and Manufactured in the United States of America
Alabama Graphite Corp. (“AGC” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:CSPG)(OTCQB:CSPGF)(FRANKFURT:1AG) is pleased to announce that it has achieved 99.999% Carbon total percentage by weight (“wt% C”) purity from its graphite originating from its flagship, 100%-ownedCoosa Graphite Project  – located in Coosa County, Alabama, USA – via the Company’s propriety, low-temperature thermal purification process. This secondary-processed ultra-high-purity flake graphite serves as the feedstock to manufacture the Company’s 100% sourced-and-manufactured-in-USA ULTRACSPG™ natural Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (“CSPG”) battery-ready graphite for use in lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries.

It is important to note that AGC achieved the five nines (“5N”) 99.999% wt% C purity – in a singular pass – by further optimizing the Company’s exclusive purification process. AGC sent a multi-kilogram sample of its secondary-processed purified graphite for purity certification to a leading US-based independent laboratory that performs Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (“GDMS”) analysis on carbon.
The name of the arm’s-length laboratory is being withheld for reasons of commercial confidentiality. GDMS is a mature, sophisticated and versatile technique for measuring purity, which is widely recognized for being the most precise determination of the concentration of mineral impurities in graphite. AGC’s graphite was extremely pure in that the amount of mineral impurities were below the limits of detection for a conventional Loss-on-Ignition (“LOI”) test. The GDMS instrument used for testing ACG’s material is dedicated to certifying electronic semiconductor grade/nuclear grade graphite.

With regard to addressing the most stringent lithium-ion battery industry requirements for graphite purity, AGC’s CSPG product was determined to have negligibly low concentrations of elemental impurities, including: Iron (“Fe”), Chromium (“Cr”), Nickel (“Ni”), and Zinc (“Zn”) at less than 0.7 parts per million (“ppm”) combined.
