CCB Canada Carbon Inc

Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V:CCB), (FF:U7N1) reports that it has filed on SEDAR the National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 report of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100% owned Asbury Graphite Project located 80 kilometres (“km”) NNE of Gatineau, near Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Québec . (See Company news release dated April 2nd, 2024 for full details.)

The Resource Estimate was prepared pursuant to Canadian Securities Administrators’ NI 43-101 by the independent firm SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) of Blainville, Quebec. The Maiden Resource Estimate consists of an inferred resource of 4.14 Mt with an average grade of 3.05% Cg, within the boundaries of an optimized open pit mine model. The cut-off grade for the Mineral resources was established at 1.0% Cg.

Mineral Resource Estimation Parameters

The Mineral Resources were estimated by Mr. Yann Camus, P.Eng., from SGS Geological Services, an independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 guidelines with an effective date of March 28th, 2024.

TABLE 1: GRAPHITE MINERAL RESOURCES

Cut-off Grade (%Cg)	Resource Category	Tonnage (Mt)	Average Grade (%Cg)	Contained Graphite (t)
1.00	Inferred	4.14	3.05	126,000

            1)  The classification of the current Mineral Resource Estimation into Inferred is consistent with current 2014 CIM Definition Standards – For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves            2)  A fixed density of 2.80 t/m3 was used to estimate the tonnage from block model volumes.            3)  Resources are constrained by the pit shell and the topography of the overburden layer.            4)  The results from the pit optimization are used solely for the purpose of testing the “reasonable prospects for economic extraction” by an open pit and do not represent an attempt to estimate mineral reserves. There are no mineral reserves on the Property. The results are used as a guide to assist in the preparation of a Mineral Resource statement and to select an appropriate resource reporting cut-off grade.            5)  Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resources has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured and Indicated Resources and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.            6)  All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and numbers may not add due to rounding.            7)  Effective date March 28th 2024.            8)  The estimate of mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues.

The Company has thus far completed sufficient diamond drilling and bedrock channel sampling to result in a resource estimation with a maximal depth of the pit at 135 vertical meters. Geological modeling based on the drill results, surface trenching and mapping indicates that the deposit remains open at depth and on both strike extensions. The geological model also provides multiple exploration targets with the potential to further expand the graphite mineral resources. The portion of the Asbury Project which is the subject of the Resource Estimate occupies only about 7 % of the geophysical anomaly on the Asbury claim area held by the Company.

The Mineral Resources were estimated using the following geological and resource block modeling parameters which are based on geological interpretations, geostatistical studies and best practices in mineral estimation:

TABLE 2: PARAMETERS USED TO MODEL OPTIMIZED GRAPHITE RESOURCES

Parameters	Value	Unit
Mining Cost – Mineralized Material	5.00	CDN$/t mined
Mining Cost – Waste	4.00	CDN$/t mined
Mining Dilution	5	%
Mining Recovery	95	%
Processing + G&A Costs	13.65	CDN$/t milled
Metal Price	2,500.00	CDN$/tonne
Concentration Recovery	90	%
Pit Slopes	50	degrees
Density of Mineralized Material	2.80	t/m3
Density of Waste	2.80	t/m3

Cautionary Note: Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the Mineral Resource will be converted into a Mineral Reserve. Inferred Resources are considered too geologically speculative to have mining and economic considerations applied to them and to be categorized as Mineral Reserves (as defined in NI 43-101). Additional trenching and/or drilling will be required to convert Inferred Mineral Resources to Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Asbury Project Overview

The 100%-owned Asbury Graphite Project is a past producing property made up of 25 claims with a total surface area of 1,384.59 ha. It is located 8.1 km northeast of Notre-Dame-Du-Laus in the Laurentides Region of southern Quebec. The property is accessible via gravel roads from Provincial Road 309 and Chemin du Ruisseau Serpent in the Notre-Dame-du-Laus area. A power transmission line runs through the property. Mont-Laurier, located approximately 44 km north, provides all amenities needed to perform basic mineral exploration, such as a hospital, accommodations, restaurants, groceries and other primary services. Additional amenities for exploration, and a seasoned mining and exploration workforce, are available from nearby towns of Gatineau to the south.
