WHAT IS GRAPHITE?
• An important input material for modern life, Graphite is all around
you — it’s in your smartphone, television, computer, tablet, and in
all lithium-ion batteries
• A non-metallic mineral, Graphite is one of two natural forms
of carbon (the other is diamond). With the highest natural
strength and stiffness of any material, graphite is an excellent
conductor of heat and electricity. It is stable over a wide range
of temperatures. Graphite is a highly refractory material with a
high melting point (3650°C). Graphite has a high natural lubricity and
is one of the lightest of all reinforcing agents. While chemically inert, Graphite also has a
high resistance to corrosion
• Graphite, specifically, Coated Spherical Graphite — or ‘CSPG’ — is used to manufacture the
anode in a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery
10. 10
Why
Graphite
Matters
Rendering of the Tesla ‘Gigafactory 1’
Lithium-ion Battery Factory at the Tahoe
Reno Industrial Center in Storey County,
Nevada, USA, slated to be operational
by 2017. The projected cost to build the
facility was approximately USD$5 billion
11. 11
WHY GRAPHITE MATTERS
• Graphite is a critical strategic mineral (the USA has declared graphite a
supply critical mineral; the European Union declared graphite a critical
raw material)
• The United States currently imports 100% of all graphite consumed
• Although there are ~200 graphite applications, the one with the
most significant and enduring future demand is lithium-ion batteries
(graphite is used to manufacture the anode in a lithium-ion battery)
• Each electric car contains more than 100 pounds of coated spherical
(CSPG) graphite
• It takes 10 to 30 times more graphite than lithium to make a lithium-ion
battery — the minimum graphite purity required is 99.95% Cg
• Future graphite demand is driven primarily by the expanding lithium-ion
battery markets (transportation and stationary battery markets)
12. 12
WHY GRAPHITE MATTERS
• Graphite’s unique properties make it the ideal anode material for
lithium-ion batteries; however, clients require CSPG graphite — not
traditional run-of-mine graphite
• China, who controls ~75% of global graphite production, has imposed
a policy of resource nationalization, including export duties, licenses
and environmental restrictions on new and existing mines
• One cannot have a ‘green’ car with a ‘dirty’ battery. Graphite production
is the cause of significant pollution in China, due to poor mining
practices and low environmental standards. Battery manufacturers
are being held accountable by consumers to source graphite from
environmentally responsible and sustainable producers
• Global consumption of natural graphite doubled from 2000 to 2010
• Tesla Motors’ Gigafactory alone — currently under construction in
Nevada and slated for commissioning in 2017 — will more than double
the current global lithium-ion battery demand
13. 13
“The United States has no domestic production of natural graphite, but
it is consumed by roughly 90 U.S. companies. Major producers of natural
graphite include China (70%), North Korea (10%), and Brazil (8%). Top-quality
flake graphite will likely see an increase in demand in the coming years;
meanwhile the supply looks to be steady at best, and there are concerns
about potential export controls out of China.”

MINE TO GREEN-ENERGY MARKETS
AGC’s strategy is not to sell traditional, run-of-mine graphite. AGC intends to divert and process
100% of run-of-mine graphite (primary production) into secondary processed, specialty
graphite — specifically, coated spherical graphite or ‘CSPG’ — for use in lithium-ion batteries

MINE TO GREEN-ENERGY MARKETS
ALABAMA GRAPHITE CORP’S BUSINESS STRATEGY IS UNIQUE
IN THE GRAPHITE SPACE
• The market growth for graphite comes from lithium-ion batteries — it is not just about
electric vehicles anymore. It’s about residential, commercial and utility-scale applications
• Management’s intent is to commence small-scale mining and primary processing
operations and divert 100% of primary production to secondary, specialty-graphite
production (coated spherical graphite or ‘CSPG’ graphite) for use in lithium-ion batteries
• Alabama Graphite’s forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment is based entirely on the
diverting of all primary production of graphite to specialty CSPG graphite
• All other flake graphite companies’ strategies (PEAs and Feasibility Studies) are, in
management’s view, based on unsustainable/unachievable business models of selling
conventional, run-of-mine graphite

There are two types of CSPG graphite used in Li-ion batteries — synthetic (~USD$20,000 per
tonne average selling price) and natural (~USD$8,000-$11,000 per tonne* average selling
price). Due to cost and performance efficiencies, many battery manufacturers are transitioning
to natural graphite
• Transportation Batteries: to power electric vehicles; the electrification of automotive is
evolving rapidly from niche to mainstream (significant growth)
• Stationary/Commercial/Utility Grid-Storage Batteries: energy storage for electrical grid,
commercial and residential buildings (exponential growth)
• Consumer Electronics Batteries: smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearable electronics,
power tools, and other battery-powered devices (moderate growth)

28. “We are seeing a lithium-ion revolution. And it’s not just
about EVs or Tesla — although Tesla’s Gigafactory has
sparked a battery arms race — and it is most certainly
not just about rechargeable mobile devices anymore.
Evolving from niche to mass market, we are witnessing the
advent of mainstream commercial rechargeable batteries.
Batteries that do not just power smartphones or tablets,
but vehicles, homes, and industrial buildings.The battery
industry is moving from Megawatt to
Gigawatt scale.
New utility/commercial storage
devices are being launched, auto
manufacturers are becoming
battery producers, and there is
major commercial interest in
back-up and off-grid solutions.
29. The price drops and manufacturing advances seen in solar
power photovoltaics offers the greatest opportunity for an
energy revolution as we will now have a widespread, low-cost
method to harness cheap energy together with a low-cost ability
to store it.
This creates upstream potential in the lithium-ion supply chain
for graphite manufacturers — if they can produce a saleable,
consistent product.
As consumers migrate to natural graphite anodes from synthetic,
the demand for flake graphite precursor is increasing and
the need to evolve battery-grade processing capacity is now
paramount.”

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
THERE ARE VERY FEW GRAPHITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WORLDWIDE
WITH A REALISTIC PROBABILITY OF GOING INTO PRODUCTION, DUE TO:
• Inexperienced management teams lacking actual graphite mining and processing
experience
• Remote project locations with high associated transportation costs and logistical
complications
• Prohibitive CAPEX/OPEX costs
• Unfeasible production targets with unrealistic economic modeling
• Limited (to no) infrastructure and expensive hydroelectric power
• Indigenous/Aboriginal/First Nations Issues
• Potential environmental and federal permitting issues
• Geopolitical instability
49. 49
COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
WHEN IT COMES TO SUCCEEDING IN GRAPHITE, REMEMBER WHAT
MATTERS MOST:
• It is not about the head grade, size or mine life of the deposit
• It is not about tens of thousands of tons of concentrate production
• It is not about the forecasted prices per ton of run-of-mine concentrate
• It is not about attempting to advance projects in remote or geopolitically unstable locales
• It is not about trying to sell traditional run-of-mine graphite
IT’S ALL ABOUT PROJECT LOCATION, GRAPHITE EXPERIENCE AND
PRODUCING A SALEABLE PRODUCT
50. 50
“When it comes to producing and selling graphite, an excellent deposit and
a strong technical team are absolutely essential. But a graphite deposit —
regardless of its merits — is essentially worthless without an experienced
team with demonstrated graphite mining, processing and sales
experience, leading it. The Alabama Graphite Management Team and Board
of Directors have the most significant demonstrated graphite experience in
the graphite industry.”
