cnw






MONTREAL, Nov. 15, 2013 /CNW/ - Mason Graphite Inc. ("Mason Graphite" or the "Company") (TSXV: LLG) (OTCQX: MGPHF)
announces that its Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Company's
by-laws to include an advance notice policy (the "Policy"), which
requires advance notice to the Company in circumstances where
nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made
by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a
requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Act"), or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to
the provisions of the Act.


Among other things, the Policy fixes a deadline by which holders of
record of common shares of the Company must submit director nominations
to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders
and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the
notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.


In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company
must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date
of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the
annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after
the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the
annual meeting was made, notice may be made no later than the close of
business on the 10th day following such public announcement.


In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an
annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made not later than the
close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the
date of the special meeting was made.


The Policy is intended to:



facilitate an orderly and efficient annual general or special meeting
process;


ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the director
nominations and sufficient information regarding all director nominees;
and


allow shareholders to register an informed vote after having been
afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.



The Policy is effective immediately and will be placed before Mason
Graphite's shareholders for approval at the next annual general meeting
scheduled to be held on December 11, 2013.

Full technical details and notes for the Preliminary Economic Assessment
("PEA") can be found in the technical report entitled "NI 43-101
Technical Report on the Preliminary Economic Assessment, Lac
Gueret Graphite Project, Quebec, Canada" dated June 6, 2013 and
effective April 22, 2013, which is available under Mason
Graphite's profile on SEDAR and on Mason Graphite's website


A PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources,
which are considered too geologically speculative to have mining and
economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be
categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no
certainty that the reserves development, production, and economic
forecasts on which the PEA is based will be realized.


Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider
(as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange)
accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
