Mr. Benoit Gascon reports

MASON GRAPHITE FILES MINERAL RESOURCE UPDATE TECHNICAL REPORT FOR ITS LAC GUERET PROJECT

Mason Graphite Inc. has filed a National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical report dated Jan. 17, 2014, entitled "NI 43-101 technical report on the mineral resource estimation update, 2013, Lac Gueret graphite project, Quebec -- Canada" under its profile on SEDAR and has posted it on its website. The comprehensive report combines the details of the mineral resource estimate update (the results of which were announced in a news release dated Dec. 5, 2013), as well as the results of the preliminary economic assessment (published June 6, 2013) of the company's 100-per-cent-owned Lac Gueret project.

Report highlights include:

A large mineral resource increase in the measured and indicated categories from 7.6 million tonnes to 50 million tonnes, and an increase in mineral resources in the inferred category from 2.8 million tonnes to 11.9 million tonnes (see the attached table for details);
Excellent PEA results maintained: first 22 years of production at 27.4 per cent graphitic carbon and low operating costs of $390 per tonne;
An environmental baseline study has been completed and the report contains the main conclusions showing that there are no environmental issues that would prevent the project from moving forward.
