Graphite Exploration Update

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore project and the Åtvidaberg polymetallic exploration licence in Sweden, and its graphite portfolio in Finland, is pleased to announce further results from its recently completed eight-hole diamond drill programme at its 100 per cent owned Aitolampi graphite prospect.

Highlights:

-- Drilling confirms that electromagnetic ("EM") anomalies identified at Aitolampi are associated with wide zones of graphite mineralisation, with a mineralised strike length of at least 350m along the main conductive zone drill-tested, dipping between 40 and 50 degrees to the southwest. The main EM zone extends for 700m.

-- Drill hole AITDD17006 intercepted 202.98m at 3.09 per cent Total Graphite Carbon ("TGC") from 19.2m depth (this includes some barren zones with no assays and calculated as zero per cent TGC), and higher-grade zones of 18.95m at 6.33 per cent TGC, and 14m at 6.26 per cent TGC.

-- Drill hole AITDD17001 intercepted 141.86m at 3.72 per cent TGC from 19.67m depth, including a higher-grade zone of 39.48m at 5.02 per cent TGC.

-- Drill hole AITDD17008 intercepted 60.29m at 4.01 per cent TGC from 8.71m depth, including 12m at 5.79 per cent TGC.

-- Drill hole AITDD17005 intercepted 41.1m at 4.39 per cent TGC from start of hole, including 28.4m at 5.1 per cent TGC and 4m at 7.71 per cent TGC.

It should be noted that the mineralisation intercepts are the down-hole widths and are not the true width of mineralisation. All samples were prepared and analysed by ALS Finland Oy's laboratory in Outokumpu.

Composite samples for metallurgical testwork have been dispatched to SGS Mineral Services in Canada, including an average grade composite for the main conductive zone, a higher-grade composite for the main conductive zone/near-surface mineralisation, and a higher-grade composite for the parallel conductive zones. Results are expected in the summer.

Plans and cross sections showing these results can be found on the Company's website at www.beowulfmining.com.

Kurt Budge, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:

"We are pleased to provide a further update on our recent drilling programme, having now put some scale to the mineralisation at Aitolampi, along strike and sub-surface. We have drilled half the length of the 700m EM conductive zone and confirmed mineralisation. We look forward to the results of the metallurgical testwork on three composite samples, which will add to the current picture, and demonstrate what we can produce from Aitolampi, in terms of concentrate grades and flake size distribution.

"On 8 May, the Company's exploration team began a two months' field programme at Haapamäki, Pitkäjärvi and Aitolampi, which includes further Slingram EM surveys and geological mapping, with the objective of defining new drill targets.

"Over the summer, the team will be carrying out fieldwork on the Company's Kolari and Viistola graphite projects, which will help us improve our understanding of both. Also, the fieldwork programmes will enable us to rank all our prospects and best allocate investment capital.

"We look forward to keeping shareholders updated on our progress."

Aitolampi - Background

Aitolampi is in eastern Finland, approximately 40 kilometres ("km") southwest of the well-established mining town of Outokumpu. Infrastructure in the area is excellent, with road access and available high voltage power.

The area has extensive EM conductive zones (anomalies) that were first defined by an airborne survey carried out by the Geological Survey of Finland ("GTK"). In 2016, the Company carried out its own in-house Slingram EM surveys to add further definition to the GTK survey and geological mapping. The EM anomalous trend from Pitk j rvi to Aitolampi extends more than 16km in length and up to 0.6km in width.

Aitolampi - Drilling

The objective of the drilling programme was to assess the potential for sub-surface graphite mineralisation (extent, width, depth, and continuity) along a major EM conductive zone, and to test two parallel conductive zones to the southwest of the main zone.

Drill results confirm that the EM zones tested are associated with wide zones of graphite mineralisation continuous along strike and down dip. Geological interpretation of the drill data shows that the graphite mineralised zones strike parallel to and are coincidental with the EM conductors (northwest-southeast). The zones dip between 40 to 50 degrees to the southwest and can be very broad, attaining a down the hole thickness of up of up to 140m, as intersected in drill hole AITDD17001 on section 6935566N on the main EM anomaly. Drilling has confirmed mineralisation for 350m along strike in that part of the EM conductive zone, with the identified EM anomaly extending for 700m in total.

Higher-grade graphite zones are evident within the broader mineralised zones as seen in drill hole AITDD17006 on section 6935371N, designed to test two parallel conductors southwest of the main conductive zone. Intercepts include down the hole widths of 18.95m at 6.33 per cent TGC from 20.6m, and 14.0m at 6.26 per cent TGC from 102m, within a broader zone of 45.80m at 4.71 per cent TGC and 50.6m at 4.4 per cent TGC. These conductive zones extend along strike for 200m and 300m respectively.

Viistola

Viistola is in eastern Finland approximately 30km southeast of the town of Joensuu. In February 2016, the Company applied for an exploration permit 0.74 square kilometres ("km(2)"), which includes an EM conductor associated with graphite schist. The graphite is hosted in a massive to brecciated graphitic schist associated with gabbro, quartzite, dolomite and phyllite country rocks.

Based on historical diamond drilling, rock chip drilling, trenching and ground geophysics, a potential target at Hyypiä, a prospect which forms part of Viistola, has been identified. The Company's exploration team plans to be on site in Q3 2017.

Kolari

Kolari is in northwest Finland approximately 50km and 100km east of Talga Resources' (ASX:TLG) Vittangi project and Jalkunen graphite projects respectively, both of which are situated in Sweden. The Company has a 100 per cent owned claim reservation over an area of 96.97km(2). A desktop study of the area has been completed and shows extensive areas of graphitic schist. The Company's exploration team plans to be on site in Q3 2017.

Cautionary Statement

Statements and assumptions made in this document with respect to the Company's current plans, estimates, strategies and beliefs, and other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements about the future performance of Beowulf. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those using words such as "may", "might", "seeks", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", "believes", "projects", "plans", strategy", "forecast" and similar expressions. These statements reflect management's expectations and assumptions in light of currently available information. They are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, (i) changes in the economic, regulatory and political environments in the countries where Beowulf operates; (ii) changes relating to the geological information available in respect of the various projects undertaken; (iii) Beowulf's continued ability to secure enough financing to carry on its operations as a going concern; (iv) the success of its potential joint ventures and alliances, if any; (v) metal prices, particularly as regards iron ore. In the light of the many risks and uncertainties surrounding any mineral project at an early stage of its development, the actual results could differ materially from those presented and forecast in this document. Beowulf assumes no unconditional obligation to immediately update any such statements and/or forecasts.
