Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGH)(OTCQX:DARDF) (the "Company") is
pleased to report the positive results from the ongoing metallurgical tests
performed by SGS Lakefield on sections of drill core from the first diamond
drill program on its flagship Mousseau East Deposit.


Standard initiated metallurgical beneficiation testing at SGS Mineral Services
in Lakefield, Ontario to characterize the graphite present on the main portion
of the historical deposit. The testing was done through Locked Cycle Tests
("LCT"). These consist in a series of mechanical operations including crushing
and grinding to liberate the graphite from the matrix followed by sieving and
sorting and assaying of the different fractions to characterize particle size
and purity. 


Three (3) runs have now been completed on composite drill core samples from the
main Mousseau East Deposit. The tests were carried out by gradually increasing
the polishing time from 30, 45 and 60 minutes in each sample to evaluate its
effects on the final product. The final treatment produced a concentrate with a
purity approximating 95% for all large and medium size fractions. The results
from the last run (60 minutes) are presented below:

Chris Bogart, President & CEO comments: "We are extremely pleased with these
initial results having achieved a commercial product using standard processing
methods. Results can be expected to improve further by optimizing and
customizing the processing to our material". The three year average value of
this blend of graphite concentrates is approx. $1400/tonne. This has been
calculated using the average of prices tracked by Industrial Minerals using
their FCL, CIF European port $/tonne price for medium to large flake graphite
concentrate."


SGS Mineral Services also estimated that the rejects would not require
post-treatment since they contain sufficient carbonate minerals to buffer any
potential acid generating reactions. This testing of the acid generating
potential of the rejects is crucial to determine the processing involved during
operations. Consequently, the rejects at Mousseau East would require no
additional treatment or separation thereby reducing overall costs and
environmental hazards.


Fieldwork is expected to resume during the second quarter of 2013 with follow-up
diamond drilling on its Mousseau East project aimed at better defining and
expanding the historical resource en-route to a N1 43-101 resource.
