Message: Standard Graphite Identified as Ideal Exposure to Large Flake Graphite Sector

Standard Graphite Corp. CA:SGH +5.46% DARDF -5.49% is the subject of a Mining MarketWatch Journal Review offering insight and opportunity afforded investors. SGH.V has a tight share structure, is guided by some of the most accomplished individuals in the mining sector, and possesses 12 graphite projects in Quebec and Ontario amenable to major discovery with plans underway to drill to resource the top prospect evidencing grade, flake distribution, purity, and tonnage. Additionally, the review provides opinion synopsis of mining expert James West, Portfolio Advisor to the Midas Opportunity Fund, whom has identified SGH.V as its #1 selection in the graphite space.

Standard Graphite Corp. presents one of the strongest opportunities in the market for investors seeking exposure to the large flake graphite sector. SGH.V offers advantages for investors serious about exposure to the sector that others cannot, it stands far above others in its class in terms of key criteria an investor should concern themselves with before being involved with any graphite exploration and development mining company; 1) people, 2) breadth of quality projects amenable to large flake, high purity graphite deposits, and 3) share structure.

SGH.V was founded and is guided by some of the most accomplished individuals in the mining sector and their decision to enter the large flake graphite sector early in 2011 was made ahead of the curve, allowing them to secure some of the most prospective properties in Canada with the aid of an experienced geologist that specializes in graphite (something rare in the business and that few, if any, others in the graphite exploration sector have). SGH.V's geologist was part of the geologic team responsible for the discovery of Focus Metals' Lac Knife graphite deposit. SGH.V's geologist set about selecting properties for geological characteristics amenable to a major graphite discovery in geographic settings amenable to open pit mining. Other companies in the sector typically only have 1 - 3 prospects, SGH.V has 12 graphite projects (all 100% owned) in Quebec and Ontario, all within known graphite districts. SGH.V is employing a tiered exploration process whereby each stage increases in detail to filter the 12 projects down to top candidates from which one will be chosen as a flagship property that it will take to resource. At each stage of exploration a re-rating and re-ranking of the properties will occur, a methodical process that mitigates risk and maximizes the probability of achieving the desired outcome of drilling to resource the top prospect evidencing grade, flake distribution, purity, and tonnage.

The breadth of properties SGH.V has in its portfolio gives it additional derisking as it need not be forced to make one project work, it has choice. SGH.V is only looking at projects that are amenable to large flake graphite, only open pit targets, and they must have the parameters that will be needed for a viable graphite deposit. In Ontario their properties are located in the Ottawa Valley proximal to Northern Graphite's Bisset Creek mine (the best known near term large flake production story) and the Kearney mine of Ontario Graphite. In Quebec SGH.V has properties near Timcal's Lac des Iles (Canada's largest graphite producer) and Focus Metals' LacKnife. Even the difference and choice for investors between the established participants, Northern Graphite and Focus Metals, is an example of the option of choice SGH.V may well likely have for industry participants to choose from the two kinds of deposits; one being more disseminated, larger flake (Northern Graphite) vs. more concentrated/narrower and lower distribution (Focus).

Highly anticipated results are currently pending for airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey on SGH.Vs Black Donald graphite property which strategically surrounds the past producing Black Donald Graphite Mine in Ontario. By the end of March 2012 EM surveys will have been completed on a majority of SGH.V's properties, after which the data will be analyzed for a ground sampling and trenching program. The properties will be re-ranked again after the ground work and short listed for exploration. A small drill program on a handful of targets on maybe 5 or 6 properties will then set up for the selection of a flagship to take to resource -- exhibiting the best grade, flake distribution, purity, and tonnage.

Shares outstanding: ~22.2M (~31.9M fully diluted). These are early days and the movement in graphite is in its infancy, shares of SGH.V near 58 cents (under CDN$13M market cap) have the potential for significant upside revaluation (with the tight share structure shares of SGH.V are apt to rise on bullish news). Mining MarketWatch Journal notes that both Bisset Creek and Lac Knife were drilled to resource for ~8,000 metres, so it is estimated SGH.V's entire program will be only ~$5 million (including work done to date) to take to resource on its best prospect. With prices for large flake graphite close to US$3,000 per tonne and a concern for graphite supply chain interruptions on the horizon for industrial end uses, the prospects for SGH.V shareholders appear highly favorable as it rapidly advances its graphite projects.
