Gratomic Secures Additional Properties in Namibia Through Share Agreement

By: Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 2, 2021) - Gratomic Inc. (TSXV: GRAT) (OTCQX: CBULF) (FSE: CB82) ("Gratomic", "GRAT" or "The Company")  is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a share purchase agreement for facilities in Windhoek Namibia and real estate at the Port of Lüderitz Bay in Namibia. The Windhoek facilities will be used as an office, and for lodging for executives when travelling to Namibia. The Lüderitz property is to be developed into a second graphite processing and warehousing facility.

Gratomic's graphite finishing process will be separated into two separate facilities with one housing the micronization and spheronization equipment and the second housing the patented ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) equipment supplied by Forge Nano (review details here in press release dated March 31, 2021). This strategic asset development will provide the Company the opportunity to customize product output adhering to end-user specifications and requirements, allowing Gratomic to better serve a broader range of manufacturers and OEMs. This investment also supports a significant increase in output potential of product generation to support any additional growth in demand as predicted by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, among others, see link here.

The benefits of the agreement are further supported by the Company's acquisition of permanent office spaces in Windhoek, which will better accommodate the growth and development of the Namibian team and Aukam Graphite Project. The ownership of permanent facilities will reduce overall operational costs through the elimination of office rental and other expenses.

The facilities and the real estate are being purchased for the equivalent of $1,436,500 and will be satisfied by the issuance of 1,072,015 common shares (the "Considerations Shares") of the Company (Issued at a per share price of $1.34). Closing of the share purchase agreement and issuance of the Consideration Shares is subject to the fulfillment of standard closing conditions and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Arno Brand, CEO and President, stated, "The Company recognizes the requirement for additional industrial space for the purpose of future added value processing and to accommodate the predicted upswing in market demand."
