SRG Graphite Inc. (TSXV:SRG) (“SRG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the syndicate of underwriters co-led by National Bank Financial Inc. and TD Securities Inc. and including Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Beacon Securities Limited and Clarksons Platou Securities AS (collectively, the “Underwriters”) for its May 2018 public offering (the “Offering”) of units of the Company (“Units”) has fully exercised the over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) granted under the Offering to purchase 800,100 additional Units at a price of $1.50 per Unit (the “Offering Price”) for additional gross proceeds to the Company of $1,200,150. This results in aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, including the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option on the date hereof, of $9,201,150. In addition to the previously announced concurrent private placement with Coris Capital S.A., this brings the aggregate gross proceeds of the raise to $11,201,150.

Each Unit issued under the Over-Allotment Option is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $2.30 per Common Share at any time for a period of 12 months from the closing of the Offering as press released on May 18, 2018.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering and the Over-Allotment Option for advancement of the Company’s Lola graphite project, including, in the near term, to further regional exploration and infill resource drilling and to progress towards a feasibility study; for continued exploration of its Gogota cobalt-nickel-scandium project; and for general working capital purposes.

The Offering was made pursuant to a short form prospectus dated May 11, 2018 (the “Prospectus”), filed in each of the Provinces of Canada and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
