About DNI Metals Certain advisors and directors of DNI have significant operational experience at historical hard rock graphite mines in Canada (e.g. Ontario and Quebec) and Australia. Between them, they have built three (3) processing plants and designed two (2) others; all, which were shut down in the 1990,’s due to increased Chinese competition. Keith Minty, director, worked at Cal Graphite near Kearny, Ontario. It was our team’s understanding of the high production and capital expenditure costs associated with so-called ‘hard rock‘ graphite mining that inspired DNI to search for saprolite-hosted graphite deposits. Certain parts Madagascar and Brazil, produce graphite from weathered material called saprolite. According to Dictionary.com, saprolite is described as: ‘Soft, thoroughly decomposed and porous rock, often rich in clay, formed by the in place chemical weathering of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks. Saprolite is especially common in humid and tropical climates. It is usually reddish brown or grayish white and contains those structures (such as cross-stratification) that were present in the original rock from which it formed.‘ DNI owns a commercially permitted, saprolite-hosted graphite deposit in Madagascar; located 50kms from the country’s main seaport. The deposit is located less than two (2) kms from the paved national highway. DNI intends to develop the Vohitsara project, should the economic viability and technical feasibility be established. DNI has not yet established mineral resources or mineral reserves supported by a PEA or mining study (PFS or FS). DNI has a graphite wholesale business, in which it buys and sells high quality graphite. This business has shown a steady increase in volume over the past year. Steven Goertz (MAusIMM, MAIG), who is a qualified person, approved the technical disclosure in this news release.
