Ceylon Graphite Corp. (“Ceylon Graphite”) (TSX-V: CYL) (OTC: CYLYF) (FSE: CCY) is pleased to announce the discovery of two new large untapped natural graphite veins, one 28 cms wide at 66.8 meters and another 10 cm wide at 71.5 meters at its K1 site in the Karasnagala area in Sri Lanka. Coordinates of the drill location are E-133102, N-211423. The drilling azimuth is 0 and the dip is 70 degrees.

These veins were discovered in the normal course of drilling at the K1 site and samples from the discovery have been sent to the Sri Lanka Government’s Geological Survey and Mines Bureau’s laboratory for testing.

Ceylon Graphite now has 6 large sized veins at its K1site. The Company anticipates that there are additional similar sized or larger veins at lower depths and continues to actively pursue its aggressive exploration and production plans for the K1 site. The Company expects to receive its mining license for K1 shortly.

“It’s a great way to start the week with the discovery of the two new large veins and several smaller veinlets of graphite at K1,” said Bharat Parashar, Chief Executive Officer. “This discovery coupled with the veins we discovered earlier in the year clearly demonstrates a large resource base at K1. Along with the continuing robust exploration program we are also positioning the site to start commercial production of some of the purest naturally occurring graphite on the planet.”

Graphite from this site will likely be of the same high quality as verified in recent testing.
