Canada Carbon Achieves 99.9998% Purity Utilizing Commercially Available Nuclear Graphite Thermal Upgrading

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(May 1, 2015) - Canada Carbon (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CCB)(OTC PINK:BRUZF)(U7N1.F) is pleased to provide the results of thermal upgrading of its Miller Hydrothermal Lump/Vein ("HLV") graphite concentrate, conducted by a graphite processing facility which processes synthetic graphite for the nuclear industry. A randomly selected run-of-mill sample of the flotation concentrate produced during pilot plant flotation trials conducted at SGS Canada (Lakefield) was directly upgraded to 99.9998% C(t) purity through thermal treatment alone. This thermal process eliminates the use of harsh chemical treatments commonly used to upgrade graphite, such as caustic bake or acid leach, which not only involve strong acids or bases that can chemically damage the graphite crystals, but which also inevitably create hazardous wastes. Most hydrometallurgical processes also involve numerous physical processing steps, which can mechanically damage the graphite crystals. The passive thermal treatment process described here, in contrast, involves only the minimal handling associated with the loading and unloading of crucibles.
