CCB Canada Carbon Inc

Canada Carbon Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CCB) is pleased to announce
exceptional results from its first series of beneficiation tests conducted at
SGS Canada Inc. (Lakefield) on its 100% owned Miller lump/vein graphite
property.


1) Initial Flotation Test - A 2 kilogram (kg) surface sample taken from an
exposed vein with a grade of 61.2% Cg (65.1% C) was concentrated by grinding and
flotation to 79.2% Cg (84.1% C). The +48 mesh size (jumbo size) fraction
represented 34.3% of the flotation concentrate and was assayed at 93.5% Cg
(94.4% C). This represents 40.5% of the graphitic carbon in the concentrate. The
result was obtained in a single flotation test without process optimization. A
full process development study including grinding and flotation optimization is
expected to yield noticeably higher flotation concentrate yields and grades,
thus reducing the operating cost of a downstream purification process.


2) Leach Test - The +48 mesh fraction of the concentrate was subjected to two
(2) different hydrometallurgical purification processes. A traditional leach
process yielded a concentrate that assayed 99.2% Cg (100 % C). An alternative
hydrometallurgical process was completed to further upgrade this concentrate and
results are pending. Although preliminary in nature, these results are very
encouraging, especially when considering that they were obtained in a single set
of tests without any process optimization. The data further suggest that Canada
Carbon will be able to target the growing market of high-value ultra-pure
graphite applications as well as those customers preferring lump/vein graphite
because of its exceptional properties. Prices for thermally purified graphite
(99.5% Cg) are sold for $6,500-$9,200 per tonne. Ultra-pure (99.9% Cg) currently
has a value exceeding $25,000 per tonne. (Pricing Source: Industrial Minerals

The 100% owned Miller Graphite property covers 15.3 kilometres (km) 2 and is
located 70 km west of Montreal. Main roads connect up to 800 metres (m) away
from the deposit and travel all around the property. A power line also crosses
the property 500 m south of the deposit, and a bush road goes directly to the
deposit, which allows for very easy access.


R. Bruce Duncan, Interim CEO & Director of Canada Carbon stated, "These
preliminary results are outstanding and confirms the exceptional quality of the
Miller Graphite Mine's product. We are now speaking with a number of North
American based graphite consumers about these results and sharing the process
information with them." Mr. Duncan further stated, "The Morgan Crucible Company
of London and also J.H. Gauthier and Company, Jersey City, historically used
some of this graphite in their crucibles and pronounced it equal to the best
graphite known to come from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Having a true shallow
hydrothermal lump/vein ore in Canada similar to the Sri Lanka vein graphite
deposits is rare and exciting."


All carbon analyses were performed by SGS Canada Inc. (Lakefield) and are
reported as total carbon C by LECO or graphitic carbon Cg employing a roast,
followed by a leach and LECO assay of the leach residue.

About Miller Graphite Mine

The Miller Graphite Mine, located in Grenville Township in Quebec is a past
graphite and mica producer with unknown graphite reserves remaining. This mine
was worked around 1845 and was probably the first graphite operation in Canada.
The quantity of produced graphite is unknown but it is reported that 25 rail
cars of lump graphite were shipped from this deposit in the year 1900 and sent
to the Globe Refining Company of Jersey City, N.J. This yielded thirty-two tons
of clean crucible graphite. The Morgan Crucible Company of London and also J.H.
Gauthier and Company, Jersey City, used some of this graphite in their crucibles
and pronounced it equal to the best graphite known to come from Ceylon (now Sri
Lanka). The property covers 15.3 km2 of land and is located 80 km west of
Montreal. A main road, located approximately 800 m from the deposit, is
connected by a gravel road to the deposit allowing very easy access. A power
line also crosses the property 500 m south of the deposit. There is no certainty
that further exploration will result in the development of similar deposits.
