Gratomic Discovers Possible Largest Graphite Vein Ever Recorded at its Aukam Project in Namibia

24 May 2022

Gratomic Inc. ("Gratomic", "GRAT," or the "Company") (TSX.V:GRAT) (OTCQX:CBULF) (FSE:CB82) is pleased to announce an update on the planned 1,250 m Diamond Drill (DD) campaign currently underway at Aukam. The drillholes are planned to intersect mineralization below the current mine adits. The first hole of 2022 (AKD001) is a twin hole of AKR026, which was drilled towards the end of 2021.

ALS Geochemistry analytical laboratory in Windhoek assay procedures include the C-IR18 method: Graphitic Carbon by LECO. Sample Decomposition is by Induction Furnace and the Analytical Method by Infrared Spectroscopy. A 0.1g sample is leached with dilute hydrochloric acid to remove Inorganic carbon. After filtering, washing, and drying, the remaining sample residue is roasted at 425 C to remove organic carbon. The roasted residue is analysed for Carbon.
