What Is Graphite?
• One of the most versatile non-metallic minerals
• A crystalline form of carbon (grey crystalline allotropic) which occurs as a mineral in some rocks
• Excellent conductor of electricity and heat and
essential ingredient in the global shift to efficient energy storage
Common Uses

Graphite Market
• Graphite is used in electric batteries for its conductivity and steel furnaces for its ability to withstand high temperatures
• Electric vehicles, utility storage devices and smart phones are all powered by batteries that use graphite as the anode material*
• 60 per cent of the material in batteries comesfrom graphite
• Global battery – grade graphite production is 80,000 tonnes a year but forecasts say this will exceed 250,000t/y by 2020*
5*Benchmark Mineral Intelligence
Graphite, an allotrope of
carbon, can be mined
or manufactured
It is heavily used in steel
production as well as for
anode material in batteries
Global battery grade
production is forecast to
rise to 250,000 t/y by 2020
Graphite Market• Graphite will be the largest volume of input material
into Tesla’s Gigafactory
• China produces more than 60 per cent of the
world’s supplies of natural graphite; Tesla
has said it will try and source all its resources locally
• Tesla uses natural graphite for its lithium-ion
battery production; the world will need
significant new sources of supply
6
Technology-Grade Graphite Demand Growing Rapidly
• Lithium Ion batteries require 10x – 30x more graphite than lithium
• Global demand ready to skyrocket for high quality natural graphite
• China mandates a minimum 10% of all vehicle built there to be Low or Zero Emission by 2019 and 12% by 2020
➢ Automakers – 1.26M electric cars sold in 2015*
➢ Alevo GridBanks – energy storage units, factory in Concord, NC
➢ Tesla Powerwall - the next generation of home power
➢ Dyson – building a $1 Billion gigafactory
➢ Electronics – all things mobile powered by li-ion batteries
• USA is the world’s largest graphite consumer – but has zero production
• Demand to increase 200 percent by 2020 and 300 percent by 2025
• Estimated demand will require 3 new 50,000 Mtpa mines

Feeding the Energy Storage BeastEnergy storage revenue is forecasted to exceed $16.5 Billion by 2023*
MAJOR PRODUCTS DRIVING UNPRECEDENTED DEMEND
Lithium-Ion Batteries
➢ 10-30x more graphite than lithium weight
required to produce these batteries
➢ Market is expected to grow 200% in the next
4 years
Stationary/Energy Storage Batteries
➢ Operate continuously to accumulate energy
from sources with unpredictable energy flows
and release it during peak demands
➢ Homes & businesses storing solar and wind
power generation
Mobile Technology
➢ Evolving technology requires battery power for
most modern devices; consumers demand
long-lasting battery life
➢ Global E-Bike sales to reach $24.3B by 2025
due to falling Lithium prices
8
Future Demand For Graphite
➢ Graphite demand will increase, because of;• Lithium-Ion-Batteries• Electrical Vehicles (EVs) growth
- China is the world’s largest and fastest-growing market for EV - 146,000 pure EVs sold in China in 2015- 71,000 pure EVs sold in USA in 2015*
➢ In 2020 approx. 90k tons additional production could be required➢ Until 2025 another 100k tons additional production could be required ➢ It is unclear, how much will be covered by China (current market share of China
= 70%)➢ Customers would like to source spherical graphite but also traditional graphite
grades from outside China➢ China also could reduce its output of commodity grades which would lead to
further demand for production outside of China ➢ India aims to become 100% e-vehicle nation by 2023**

** The Economic Times
Feedback to Accelerate EV Growth• “We’re now flipping the switch, we’re ready to launch of an electric product offensive that will
cover all vehicle segments, from the compact to the luxury class” Dieter Zetsche, Daimler CEO
• “We’re all facing a legislative framework around the world which is going in one direction and almost converging on the same spot. Within the mix of vehicles for the foreseeable future, you will need to have a good proportion of zero-emission vehicles”
Ian Robertson, BMW Board of Management
• “Competitors are now in phase one on their electric strategy, while we’re entering phase two. We’re already well on our way to electrifying the core portfolio, using powertrain technology from BMW”
Harald Krueger, BMW CEO
• “I think it is very clear that individual mobility is moving toward carbon-neutral. It is a major milestone for us (the Opel Ampera-e) for our transformation on the long-term horizon to become an all-electric company”

Ambato-Arana, Eastern Madagascar
3 mining exploitation licenses located in the vicinity of Andasibe in Toamasina
Province in Madagascar totaling 4,375 hectares (10,811 acres)
20 km to the Northest of Sheritt’s major Ambatovy nickel/cobalt laterite open pit
mine and 220 km from the seaport of Toamasina, Madagascar’s main port
Graphite was produced from 1910 to 2010; mining permits still in good standing
In recent years production stopped as the owner/operators retired
The production has been free digging of lateritic ore and open pit mining, providing
low cost production without need for blasting
The presence of large Flake size Graphite means potential to produce a premium
product
11
Chedic Graphite Mine, Nevada USA Chedic Mine is in an excellent jurisdiction located 10 min from Carson City, Nevada
In 1920s, Walter Chedic produced graphite from an open pit mine
The Chedic Graphite enriched structure has the potential to host a large amount of
graphite mineralization
Grades up to 22% CC (carbon content)
Geophysics indicates a 3000ft (900m) graphitic zone
First drilling ever on the property just completed
Drill holes testing a 500m (1600ft) target zone
43-101 report completed
Broad zones of graphite mineralization intersected

Neuron Graphite, Callinex Mines
New high grade, near surface, fine to course flake graphite discovery in
one of the highest ranked mining jurisdictions in the world, Manitoba
Canada. The discovery hole includes high grade intervals of up to 60%
Cg over 4.1 metres and within a broad interval of 5.9% Cg over 56
metres located near surface.
Only 2 of 8 priority drill targets have been drill tested to date.
Located near infrastructure; 16 km from the mining city of Thompson,
Manitoba which is accessible via paved highway, air transport and
railway and a 230-kilo volt hydro-electric generated powerline crosses

BEGO Technologies LTD Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. has entered into a MOU to acquire an interest in BEGO Technologies Ltd. Under the
terms of the agreement LION will acquire 16% of BEGO and 49% of BEGO Energy Storage. The companies will
endeavor to execute a definitive agreement quickly.
BEGO is a Hong Kong incorporated private company, which was formed to commercialize a new and innovative
way to produce low cost, high value graphene oxide and graphene from Graphite.
BEGO, an acronym for Bio Electro Chemical Graphene Oxide, is a ecofriendly peer reviewed PCT patent pending
process (“Process”) that uses mother matures naturally occurring microbes to produce Graphene Oxide from
graphite. Graphene Oxide is a precursor to producing Graphene which is a further process that is being advanced
at CSU and other labs under contract with BEGO.
Commercialization of the Process is being advanced under the direction of Dr. Jin , the Process Co Inventor in
collaboration with experts at Colorado State University where ongoing programs are underway to perfect the
Process and its scaling.
BEGO’s priority is to become a low cost high value supplier of engineered graphene materials, one of which is
dedicated to advancing the next generation graphene based electrode for energy storage.
Research is going on world wide to increase the energy density of lithium ion batteries, to extend the EV range and
load them faster. Graphene characteristics hold great promise to reach these holy grails. A low cost high quality
provider of graphene will make possible commercialization of these advances.

Key Competitive Advantages
The Ambato-Arana past producing Mines are permitted and have the infrastructure in place to be put back into production near term. Madagascar is ideally situated to supply China and India with much needed Graphite Oxide.
The Chedic Mine is ideally situated to be a principal source of graphite required by lithium ion battery manufacturers in Nevada and California.
Tesla’s Gigafactory is located less than 50 miles from the Chedic mine property
The Neuron graphite project in Thompson, Manitoba is potentially the richest graphite discovery in North America with grades of up to 76% carbon content in one of the world’s premium mining district.
Tesla and others are committed to using locally supplied resources
All works overseen by the professional geologists who are qualified persons
The Company has been financed in a strong market resulting in less dilution
