Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGH) (the "Company"), is pleased to
announce that it has now received TSX Venture Exchange approval for the option
agreement to acquire the Mousseau East Deposit located some 40 kilometres
northeast of the town of Mont-Laurier in northwestern Quebec, as originally
disclosed in the Company's News Release dated April 24, 2012. The new property
is located within 50 kilometres of Timcal Canada Inc.'s producing Lac-des-Iles
Graphite Mine, which is currently the larger of the two producing mines in North
America. Standard Graphite now intends to conduct strategic exploration with the
aim of building a NI 43-101 compliant resource by upgrading the historical
non-compliant resource on the property.


The Mousseau East Deposit was discovered in 1983 following the emplacement of a
new road in the area north of Ste-Veronique, Quebec. Systematic exploration was
carried out by Graphicor between 1989 and 1993 with property-scale
electromagnetic geophysical surveys along cut grids, and exploration and
definition drilling leading to resource estimates. Drilling completed between
1989 and 1992 consisted of three successive campaigns and some 62 diamond drill
holes, totaling 4996 metres, allowing for a resource calculation to be
conducted. The possibility of initiating a mining operation was evaluated using
only a 40-metre-deep open-pit on the main resource of the Mousseau East Deposit.


This preliminary evaluation of the mining potential was based on resource
estimates calculated internally in 1992 by Graphicor Resources for the levels
comprised between surface and -40 metres. This estimate was further verified and
validated independently by Derry, Michener, Booth and Wahl (DMB&W), now based in
Vancouver. The historical non-NI 43-101 compliant estimates quoted are presented
in the table below.

A qualified person has not completed the work necessary to verify the historical
estimates as mineral reserves or resource for purposes of NI 43-101. The Company
is not treating the historical mineral resource estimates as NI 43-101 defined
current resources or reserves. The historical estimates should not be relied
upon. This property will require considerable further evaluation, which
Standard's management and consultants intend to carry out in due course.


It must be emphasized that this resource only takes into consideration the
levels comprised between surface and -40 metres. The graphite horizon is
anticipated to continue below the -40m level as well as along strike. Some
further untested targets need to be explored; especially a widening of the
conductive zone located some 600 metres to the SE of the main Mousseau East
Deposit. The Company is planning due diligence work to begin soon on the
project, and a field exploration program will be implemented following a
complete assessment of the historical information. Due to the project having
been left dormant since 1992, the Company has begun to assess the drill
locations, cross sections, EM data, and proposed mine plan from previous
operators.

Terms

The Terms of the Agreement have been amended from those disclosed in the
Company's April 24th press release to the following: Standard will acquire a
100% interest in the project by making aggregate cash payments of $375,000 and
