Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGH) (the "Company") SGH is pleased to
announce that drilling has commenced on the Mousseau East property. The company
is planning a 3000 m diamond drilling program aimed at qualifying and expanding
the historical resource as well as exploring for additional potential resources
elsewhere on the project.


Standard has contracted MRB & Associates ("MRB") of Val-d'Or, Quebec and P&E
Mining Consultants ("P&E") of Toronto, Ontario to produce a NI 43-101 compliant
resource estimate on its flagship Mousseau East property, based on the
historical work. To validate previous results, a diamond drilling program has
been designed to replicate a number of historical diamond drill holes emplaced
on the main zone. The planning and execution of the drilling operations,
including the logging and sampling of the core, will be carried out under the
supervision of MRB. The modeling of the graphite zone(s) and the resource
estimate calculation will be completed by P&E, based on the data validated by
MRB during the drilling phase.


Standard is also planning additional diamond drilling outside of the main zone
targeted at expanding the historical resource along strike and at depth.
Previous work during the diamond drill programs completed between 1989 and 1992
has shown that the resource remained opened in every direction and also at
depth. The drill holes have been planned to intersect the extension of the
current mineralization at shallow depths. Lastly, the program will conclude with
the testing of some additional targets that have been highlighted during the
airborne geophysical survey and currently being investigated on surface.


Chris Bogart, President and CEO, comments: "This drill program is significant
for Standard as it will allow us to confirm and target expansion of the
historical resource. Our recent geologic work and interpretations have shown
that the potential is excellent both in the direct extension of the current
Mousseau body and elsewhere on the property."


The Mousseau East Deposit was discovered in 1983 following the emplacement of a
new road in the area north of Ste-Veronique, Quebec. Systematic exploration was
carried out by Graphicor between 1989 and 1993 with property-scale
electromagnetic geophysical surveys along cut grids, and exploration and
definition drilling, leading to resource estimates. The preliminary evaluation
of the mining potential was based on resource estimates calculated internally in
1992 by Graphicor Resources for the levels comprised between surface and -40
metres. This estimate was further verified and validated independently by Derry,
Michener, Booth and Wahl (DMB&W), now based in Vancouver. The historical non-NI
43-101 compliant estimates quoted are presented in the table below.

A qualified person has not completed the work necessary to verify the historical
estimates as mineral reserves or resource for purposes of NI 43-101. The Company
is not treating the historical mineral resource estimates as NI 43-101 defined
current resources or reserves. The historical estimates should not be relied
upon. This property will require considerable further evaluation, which
Standard's management and consultants intend to carry out in due course.


Antoine Fournier, P.Geo., manages Standard's exploration and development
programs and is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
