Standard Graphite Confirms Significant Conductor on Notre Dame Property in Southwestern Quebec
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/04/12 -- Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SGH) (the "Company") is pleased to report on the continuing success of its airborne TDEM surveys (time domain electromagnetics) aimed at characterizing the conductive signatures of the surface graphite occurrences on its projects. Interpretation of the Notre-Dame property results confirms that the surface graphite is also part of an extensive conductor outlined by the TDEM survey.
The Notre Dame property is one of four (4) properties acquired by Standard Graphite in the fall of 2011 in southwestern Quebec, and is located within trucking distance of its flagship Mousseau East Project. Each property is located over a well-established graphite occurrence and part of the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Province, known to be a favorable host to graphite deposits. During April 2012, the properties were flown by Prospectair Geosurveys Inc of Gatineau, Quebec to measure the conductive response of the rocks underlying the properties and to trace the extent of the graphitic horizons. The four properties, Kiamika, Preston, 31 Milles, and Notre Dame are located within 90 kilometres of the Mousseau East property on which an historical non-NI 43-101 compliant resource has been identified (see press release April 24, 2012).
The graphite occurrence on Notre Dame that prompted the acquisition of the project is now known to be part of a regional north-south trend that shows significant widening and a more intense conductive response over approximately four kilometres around the known occurrences. Standard is now ready to initiate a reconnaissance program consisting of prospecting that will cover all of its Quebec properties. During this first phase, the teams will locate the surface occurrences and trace them along the conductors to better estimate the extent and widths of the graphite zones.

Chris Bogart, President and CEO of Standard Graphite comments: "We are very pleased to have been successful in tying in all of our historical showings together with the extensions to known regional conductors. TDEM has been a very effective tool during the first phase of exploration. With the prospecting program now starting, it will be exciting to sample those known occurrences and their extensions particularly where the occurrences are not located at the peak of the conductors."
The completed 888-line-kilometre airborne TDEM survey covering the four southwestern Quebec properties are part of the initial property coverage designed to assist Standard Graphite in targeting known and new mineralization and orienting the fieldwork. Standard Graphite will release the survey results of the last remaining southwestern Quebec property when they become available.
