Amseco Continues to Acquire Potential Graphite Claims

Amseco Exploration Ltd.(TSX VENTURE:ALE) is acquiring 25,362 hectares (254 km2)
in a district known to host multiple graphite occurrences. The Company will have
100%-control of the 469 claims. As part of an ongoing strategic plan announced
last month, the Company has decided to expand its traditional precious metals
exploration activities to also include industrial minerals. This decision has
been made based on rapid growth of the market for graphite and other industrial
minerals. 


To complete the acquisition, Amesco will pay $15,000 in cash and issue 3 million
shares from the treasury on closing. The Vendors will retain a 2% Net Smelter
Return Royalty of which 1% can be bought back by Amseco for $500,000.The closing
of this transaction is conditional upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange
approval.


Amseco will issue a geologic overview of the historical compilation, surface
geophysics and mapping on the Manic and Tetepisca properties in the next few
days.


These properties are all located in the general area of the southwest bank of
the Manicouagan Reservoir, within approximately 20 to 25 kilometres of the Manic
V electric dam, close by to projects controlled by Cliff Resources, St-Georges
(SX), Focus Metals and others. The project is approximately 215 km north of the
Quebec North Shore deep sea port town of Baie-Comeau. The project area is
accessed by Highway 389, the national road connecting Baie-Comeau and Labrador,
plus logging roads.


Graphite Market

In recent years, the demand for graphite has doubled to one million to 1.2
million tons, and is expected to keep rising. Forty per cent of the total is for
flake graphite, for which new uses are found in emerging technologies, the most
significant being lithium-ion batteries. The latter is expected to raise demand
for flake graphite to nearly 1.6 million tons in the next 10 years, as the
demand for electric vehicles and lithium battery technology booms. In addition,
the demand for graphite for traditional uses is rising as emerging countries
enter an era of industrial modernization. The automotive and steel industries
account for the largest demand for graphite, which is rising by 5 per cent
annually. Other considerable applications of graphite include nuclear power,
fuel cells, solar thermal collectors, vanadium batteries and additional uses.
