Graphite Market

• Graphite is used in electric batteries for its conductivity and steel furnaces for its ability to withstand high temperatures

• Electric vehicles, utility storage devices and smart phones are all powered by batteries that use graphite as the anode material*

• 60 per cent of the material in batteries comesfrom graphite

• Global battery – grade graphite production is 80,000 tonnes a year but forecasts say this will exceed 250,000t/y by 2020*

5*Benchmark Mineral Intelligence

Graphite, an allotrope of

carbon, can be mined

or manufactured

It is heavily used in steel

production as well as for

anode material in batteries

Global battery grade

production is forecast to

rise to 250,000 t/y by 2020

Graphite Market• Graphite will be the largest volume of input material

into Tesla’s Gigafactory

• China produces more than 60 per cent of the

world’s supplies of natural graphite; Tesla

has said it will try and source all its resources locally

• Tesla uses natural graphite for its lithium-ion

battery production; the world will need

significant new sources of supply

Technology-Grade Graphite Demand Growing Rapidly

• Lithium Ion batteries require 10x – 30x more graphite than lithium

• Global demand ready to skyrocket for high quality natural graphite

• China mandates a minimum 10% of all vehicle built there to be Low or Zero Emission by 2019 and 12% by 2020

➢ Automakers – 1.26M electric cars sold in 2015*

➢ Alevo GridBanks – energy storage units, factory in Concord, NC

➢ Tesla Powerwall - the next generation of home power

➢ Dyson – building a $1 Billion gigafactory

Future Demand For Graphite

➢ Graphite demand will increase, because of;• Lithium-Ion-Batteries• Electrical Vehicles (EVs) growth

- China is the world’s largest and fastest-growing market for EV - 146,000 pure EVs sold in China in 2015- 71,000 pure EVs sold in USA in 2015*

➢ In 2020 approx. 90k tons additional production could be required➢ Until 2025 another 100k tons additional production could be required ➢ It is unclear, how much will be covered by China (current market share of China

= 70%)➢ Customers would like to source spherical graphite but also traditional graphite

grades from outside China➢ China also could reduce its output of commodity grades which would lead to

further demand for production outside of China ➢ India aims to become 100% e-vehicle nation by 2023**

Feedback to Accelerate EV Growth• “We’re now flipping the switch, we’re ready to launch of an electric product offensive that will

cover all vehicle segments, from the compact to the luxury class” Dieter Zetsche, Daimler CEO

• “We’re all facing a legislative framework around the world which is going in one direction and almost converging on the same spot. Within the mix of vehicles for the foreseeable future, you will need to have a good proportion of zero-emission vehicles”

Ian Robertson, BMW Board of Management

• “Competitors are now in phase one on their electric strategy, while we’re entering phase two. We’re already well on our way to electrifying the core portfolio, using powertrain technology from BMW”

Harald Krueger, BMW CEO

• “I think it is very clear that individual mobility is moving toward carbon-neutral. It is a major milestone for us (the Opel Ampera-e) for our transformation on the long-term horizon to become an all-electric company”

Karl-Thomas Neumann, President of GM Europe

Ambato-Arana, Eastern Madagascar

3 mining exploitation licenses located in the vicinity of Andasibe in Toamasina

Province in Madagascar totaling 4,375 hectares (10,811 acres)

20 km to the Northest of Sheritt’s major Ambatovy nickel/cobalt laterite open pit

mine and 220 km from the seaport of Toamasina, Madagascar’s main port

Graphite was produced from 1910 to 2010; mining permits still in good standing

In recent years production stopped as the owner/operators retired

The production has been free digging of lateritic ore and open pit mining, providing

low cost production without need for blasting

The presence of large Flake size Graphite means potential to produce a premium

product

BEGO Technologies LTD Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. has entered into a MOU to acquire an interest in BEGO Technologies Ltd. Under the

terms of the agreement LION will acquire 16% of BEGO and 49% of BEGO Energy Storage. The companies will

endeavor to execute a definitive agreement quickly.

BEGO is a Hong Kong incorporated private company, which was formed to commercialize a new and innovative

way to produce low cost, high value graphene oxide and graphene from Graphite.

BEGO, an acronym for Bio Electro Chemical Graphene Oxide, is a ecofriendly peer reviewed PCT patent pending

process (“Process”) that uses mother matures naturally occurring microbes to produce Graphene Oxide from

graphite. Graphene Oxide is a precursor to producing Graphene which is a further process that is being advanced

at CSU and other labs under contract with BEGO.

Commercialization of the Process is being advanced under the direction of Dr. Jin , the Process Co Inventor in

collaboration with experts at Colorado State University where ongoing programs are underway to perfect the

Process and its scaling.

BEGO’s priority is to become a low cost high value supplier of engineered graphene materials, one of which is

dedicated to advancing the next generation graphene based electrode for energy storage.

Research is going on world wide to increase the energy density of lithium ion batteries, to extend the EV range and

load them faster. Graphene characteristics hold great promise to reach these holy grails. A low cost high quality

provider of graphene will make possible commercialization of these advances.

Key Competitive Advantages

The Ambato-Arana past producing Mines are permitted and have the infrastructure in place to be put back into production near term. Madagascar is ideally situated to supply China and India with much needed Graphite Oxide.

The Chedic Mine is ideally situated to be a principal source of graphite required by lithium ion battery manufacturers in Nevada and California.

Tesla’s Gigafactory is located less than 50 miles from the Chedic mine property

The Neuron graphite project in Thompson, Manitoba is potentially the richest graphite discovery in North America with grades of up to 76% carbon content in one of the world’s premium mining district.

Tesla and others are committed to using locally supplied resources

All works overseen by the professional geologists who are qualified persons

The Company has been financed in a strong market resulting in less dilution
