TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2022 / Gratomic Inc. ("Gratomic", "GRAT," or the "Company") (TSXV:GRAT) (OTCQX:CBULF) (FSE:CB82) provides a progress update on its current sixteen-trench program, which commenced on the 15^th of August at its Capim Grosso project in Brazil. This program aims to unveil the extension of a second graphite deposit located south-east of the main deposit on the Company's Capim Grosso Project.

To date, the Company has five confirmed trench hits in the second graphite body. The mineralized zone has an extension beyond 500 meters, with graphite gneiss with orientation well defined.

The trenching program is estimated to take 6 working days. See below map showing the planned location for the trenches:

Initial findings at the first trench appear promising (see pictures below), and depending on how the program continues, the Company's local geology team still has the possibility to move the excavator to the Jacobina project, located 30km from the Capim Grosso project, and execute some exploratory trenches at that project.

Arno Brand, President & CEO, states, "Brazil is a powerhouse in the graphite mineral sector. We are extremely pleased to have secured graphite projects there and look forward to seeing results on this most recent program."

"Gratomic is thrilled with the results obtained so far from its properties in Brazil, and this trenching program will allow us to define new targets for exploration, thus increasing the potential for identifying mineral potential," says Armando Farhate COO & Head of Graphite Marketing & Sales.
