Certain statements included in this presentation are forward looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities laws, including the following statements regarding the Aukam property: the ability of Gratomic Inc. (“Gratomic Inc.” or the “Company”) to acquire additional concessions with potential resources; the potential to develop resources; the anticipated economic potential

  • f the Aukam project or any supply or off-take agreement; the anticipated

economic potential of the concessions; the anticipated economic and political developments in Namibia; the availability of capital and financing for the Company to execute its commitments and strategy going forward. Forward- looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Many factors could cause the Company’s results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements, including: discrepancies between actual and estimated results from exploration and development and

  • perating risks, dependence on early exploration stage concessions; political

and foreign risks; uninsurable risks; competition; regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability;

currency fluctuations; defective title to mineral claims or property and dependence

  • n key employees. Persons reviewing this presentation are cautioned not to place

undue reliance on forward- looking statements due to inherent uncertainty therein. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events

  • r otherwise, except as required by law.

Gratomic wishes to emphasize that the supply of graphite pursuant to any off-take

  • r supply agreement referred to in the Presentation is conditional on Gratomic

being able to bring the Aukam project into a production phase, and for any graphite being produced to meet certain technical and mineralization

  • requirements. Gratomic continues to move its business towards production and

as part of its business plan, expects to obtain a National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects technical report to help it ascertain the economics of the Aukam project. Presently the Company uses its existing pilot processing facility to produce certain amounts of graphite concentrate from accumulated surface graphite. Please see Risk Factors on slide 37 (“Risk Factors”). The technical information contained in this presentation have been reviewed and approved by Steven Gray, P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101.

  • The XY1 will be used for exploration

drilling and the LY 38 will be used for defining a mineral resource at Aukam.

  • Phase two of the mine plan will be

established based on the results of the LY38 surface drill program.

  • The drilling program will include further

exploration for 2020 and is expected to cost approx. CAD $120,000 and commence in September.

30 March of 2017, Gratomic conducted an infill drill program using its company owned Kemp pneumatic drill using a BQ system in the existing main adit over 659 meters. The 29 combined drill holes revealed graphite mineralization demonstrating a range of 3% Cg - 64%Cg. Phase one mining is comprised of the removal of visible surface stockpiles found around the main adits and the drilled veins. A phase two mine plan has been drafted based on the combined initial drill results and the graphite visible on the surface and in the underground workings.

Risk Factors

No mineral resources, let alone mineral reserves demonstrating economic viability and technical feasibility, have been delineated on the Aukam Property. The Company is not in a position to demonstrate or disclose any capital and/or operating costs that may be associated with the processing plant. The Company advises that it has not based its production decision on even the existence of mineral resources let alone on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future profitability.
