Mason Graphite Inc. ("Mason Graphite" or the "Company") (TSX.V: LLG; OTCQX: MGPHF) is pleased to be part of "Propulsion Quebec", Quebec's cluster for smart and electric transportation, which has a mission to rally the entire sector around joint projects aimed at positioning Quebec as a global leader in developing and implementing smart and electric modes of ground transportation.

Mason Graphite is also proud to participate in a new study commissioned last week by Propulsion Quebec which will focus on the development of Quebec's lithium-ion battery industry and help the Quebec industry take the lead in projects improving the life cycle of batteries.

In a recent communication, Propulsion Quebec indicated: "The study will be carried out with financial support from Ministere de l'Economie et de l'Innovation du Quebec and Societe de developpement de Shawinigan. It represents a concrete initiative by major Quebec players in the fields of transportation electrification and energy storage. These players want to use their expertise and competitive edge to strategically position Quebec in the production of batteries, from the extraction of raw materials to the recycling of their components. The study will be carried out in the months ahead and will profile the lithium-ion battery industry and analyze opportunities for Quebec in battery component and cell manufacturing and end-of-life battery recycling. The study results are due to be delivered in the Spring of 2019. A committee of independent experts will be set up to support the study."

Benoit Gascon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mason Graphite commented: "We welcome the efforts led by Propulsion Quebec. Once again, the Quebec Government is demonstrating its commitment towards a clean future. Its dedication in supporting the entire supply chain, of which natural graphite is a key component, will help to ensure the local development of the industry. We are confident that Mason Graphite can and will play an instrumental role in this development that would benefit the North Shore area and beyond."
