Alabama Graphite Receives ADEM Permit for Final Infill Trenching Program for the Coosa Graphite Project Feasibility Study

Alabama Graphite (“AGC” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:CSPG)(OTCQB:CSPGF)(FRANKFURT:1AG) is pleased to announce receipt of the necessary National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Construction Storm Water General Permit from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) for the potential discharges associated with the exploration activities necessary to complete the pending Feasibility Study for AGC’s 100%-owned Coosa Graphite Project, located in Coosa County, Alabama, USA – the only natural flake graphite project in the contiguous United States – to be commenced by independent engineering firms AGP Mining Consultants (“AGP”) and Thompson Engineering, in conjunction with the Company’s geology team.

The Clean Water Act (“CWA”) and Federal regulations require construction site operators to obtain NPDES permit coverage for regulated land disturbances and associated discharges of storm water runoff to State waters.
AGP has determined that if a small, infill trenching program within the Indicated Resource area can confirm the presence of graphite mineralization, in particular higher-grade bands within the larger deposit, as predicted by the current resource model, a significant portion of the Indicated Resource can be upgraded to a Measured Reserve, as is required for Feasibility.
