New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 20% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m.

Mason Graphite Announces Successful Completion of Cycle Testing and Transition to Battery Material Commercialisation Mason Graphite Inc. announced that the cycling tests, carried out on its full prototype pouch cell batteries, are conclusive, having crossed the objective of 1,000 charge & discharge cycles while maintaining a capacity retention of 80.6%. This performance unequivocally ranks the Lac Guéret graphite among one of the best performing Li-ion anode materials presently available commercially in all applications, including electric vehicles. This value-added transformation process was developed in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada and Corem, a research and innovation center in Quebec City. The process was designed based on a thorough benchmarking study completed from the onset of this battery material program, ensuring that the resulting product would meet the general requirements and specifications of battery manufacturers. This achievement enhances the company’s ability to execute on the commercialisation of the Lac Gueret graphite as a key component in the rapidly expanding battery market. Commercialisation: The company has expanded its workforce in order to expedite the commercialisation activities, which are expected to progress rapidly in the months ahead. The team at Mason Graphite possesses significant experience in commercialisation having led the commercialisation efforts and built the client base of a well recognized global graphite producer. This includes having qualified and distributed graphite products in all applications, including to most globally recognized alkaline and Li-ion battery manufacturers. Battery Material Program: Mason Graphite has been working since 2015 on the development and improvement of its transformation process with the NRC. Mason Graphite and its partners have developed and mastered the purification, shaping and ultimately coating processes to meet the chemical and physical properties required to achieve the electrochemical performance sought by battery manufacturers. The NRC is Canada’s largest federal research and development organization and partners with Canadian industry to take research impacts from the lab to the marketplace. The NRC offers a variety of scientific, engineering, and technical services, including expertise and facilities for clean and energy efficient transportation technologies. The NRC’s Automotive and Surface Transportation Research Centrebattery prototyping line is equipped to produce, prototype, and test raw materials from the mine through to fabrication. The collaboration between Mason Graphite and the NRC has resulted in a commercially viable conversion process for battery-grade graphite. For the project team, achieving these results represents a significant step forward for the Canadian electric vehicle industry, but also for other potential lithium-ion battery applications. The Coated Purified Spherical Graphite has been produced from a graphite concentrate from the Lac Guéret project deposit and has been replicated on a pilot scale with the involvement of Corem. Methodology: The batteries are tested at a rate of C/3, meaning 3 hours to charge and 3 hours to discharge, hence completing about 4 full cycles per day. The cathode used is of the NMC532 type. Capacity retention is calculated on the discharge capacity with respect to the first cycle. CSPG Pilot Campaign: A new CSPG pilot plant production run is currently taking place at Corem and at Mason Graphite’s own facility in Quebec City. The CSPG thus produced will be used to provide further samples for testing by potential customers during the commercialisation campaign. Developing the Next Generation of Anode Materials: Spherical graphite enhanced with silicon metal is a growing trend in Li-ion anode materials as Si additions result in higher overall energy densities in batteries. To date, the main drawback has been the difficulty to control the swelling of the Si during charging time, which leads to mechanical challenges. Mason Graphite has been working for several months with a strategic partner specializing in innovative solutions for the development of a next generation high energy density Si-enhanced anode material. The partnership aims to engineer optimal anode materials integrating sufficient levels of Si, significantly increasing the capacity of lithium-ion batteries, whilst limiting the concentrations in order to curb any swelling to a manageable level. This approach aims at ensuring that these innovative products can be easily integrated into existing applications and battery manufacturing equipment, infrastructure, and supply chain. The preliminary tests of Lac Guéret spherical graphite enhanced with Si have demonstrated exceptional electrochemical performance. Additional tests are underway, and the Company will communicate more details as the program progresses. Is New 90 Day High Low • Feb 17

Mason Graphite Inc. Announces Testing of Prototype Li-Ion Batteries Containing Mason Graphite inc. announced that testing of prototype Li-ion batteries containing its coated spherical graphite have reached the critical target of 500 cycles of charge /discharge, while maintaining 85% of the original capacity, which is better than the typical requirements of 80%. These tests were performed in the NRC laboratories, on samples produced at the pilot scale in the installations of COREM and of the Company. See Press Release dated December 3, 2020 for the technical details. Cycling tests continue on the same batteries at the NRC laboratories to evaluate their full life expectancy. The Mason Graphite Board and Management have taken several steps to ensure the Company is able to take on a leadership position in the graphite mining and transformation sector for the benefit of all its stakeholders, including the shareholders and its neighboring communities in Québec. So, while the current natural graphite market is in an over-supply situation in the world, and has been for the past 12-18 months, the Company has been putting in place key building blocks to make its fully integrated mining and Value-Added Product operation vision happen, which it believes will be far more profitable for shareholders in the medium to long term. Here are some of the building blocks and/or key actions taken: A technical and economic study on a complete value-added product plant (second transformation), fed by the “Lac Guéret concentrate”, was completed at the beginning of 2020. The results of the study are positive. But since the first transformation project (mine and concentrator) was put on hold for financing reasons, parts of this study will be used for a follow-on study on the new diversified value-added products project. Tests were conducted (over several months) to optimize the purification process and demonstrate the technical feasibility of reagents and water recycling, thus confirming the low environmental footprint of the process. As well, potential sources of uncoated spherical graphite were identified and contacted, samples were acquired, received and characterized, and are currently undergoing coating testing. Cycling tests are planned at the end of the coating trials. Optimization work continues on the coating process developed by the Company (and demonstrated at pilot scale) to further improve yield, improve product quality and to adapt the process to uncoated spherical graphite coming from external sources. To counter the very long homologation periods associated with coated spherical graphite in Li-ion battery applications (and therefore possibly long delays), the Company has broadened its value-added products development strategy by diversifying the products it intends to make, giving it access to other markets and applications, which are easier to enter. The development of this improved strategy included a high-level review of the potential markets and applications, their sizes, the ease of entry (homologation times), the potential customers and the expected profitability. With the help of a strategic partner of the Company, a conceptual technical and economic study to that effect was recently started and is advancing well. Aankondiging • Dec 04
Remarkable Long-Term Cycling Performance for the Coated Spherical Graphite of Mason Graphite Inc Mason Graphite inc. announced excellent cycling test results of complete, prototype-type lithium-ion batteries, containing the Company's coated spherical graphite produced at pilot scale. The coated spherical graphite, a value-added product, will serve the lithium-ion battery market, notably for electric vehicles. Thus, the batteries made with graphite from the Lac Guéret deposit, in the anode, have maintained 86% of their original capacity after 470 cycles of charge and discharge. This a remarkable performance, considering that for such prototype batteries, the target in the electric vehicle application is a minimum of 80% of retention after typically 500 cycles. These same batteries continue cycling at NRC to validate that this objective will be reached and to evaluate their life expectancy. Aankondiging • Dec 02
