Graphite Historically Overlooked

E-Power Resources Has Identified Many Historic Drill Holes Reporting Graphite Intercepts Graphite is a Strong Conductor of Electricity and Historical Surveys Have Mapped a Number of Subterranean Conductors on the Property Conductivity Anomalies: • have been mapped by previous

explorers • contain both sulphides and graphite

Because the area is so prolific for gold, silver, copper, nickel and zinc, graphite was overlooked and ignored when it was intercepted by drill holes targeting other minerals.

X As Tesla Increases the Demand for North American Sources, It Is Evident There Are Not Enough Suppliers to Meet Those Demands

X The Biggest North American Supplier of Graphite is Canada, Making Up Only 3% of the Global Supply

X The Only Sources of Graphite in North America Are in Canada

X Canada Needs to Create Production To Supply Tesla and Other Electric Vehicle Companies With Graphite.

“Our cells should be called Nickel-Graphite, because primarily the cathode is nickel and the anode side is graphite with silicon oxide... There is a little bit of lithium in there, but it is

like the salt on the salad,” Elon Musk.

• LG Chem (Nanjing, China) – 7GWh: - 500,000 batteries for EVs, - Expanding to 700,000 by 2020

• Tesla (Nevada, USA) – 35GWh: - Batteries for 500,000 cars by 2020 - Will be the largest building & workplace in

the USA • Foxconn (Anhui, China) – 15GWh • BYD (China) – 20GWh • Boston Power (China) – 10GWh (Above would represent 287,000 tons of graphite in anodes

by 2020.)

In 2014, 65 % of The Anode Material in a Litium Ion Battery Was Natural Flake

Graphite

Pg. 15

• While the average cost of an anode is 30% of a battery, graphite is 50% of the anode cost equating to 15% of the cost of a cell

• There is as much as 40 times the amount of graphite in a lithium-ion battery as lithium.
