(“Saint Jean” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SJL) announces the resignation of Anna Lentz as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company, effective October 27, 2020.

The Company wishes to elaborate on its offtake agreement with Ameca (September 30, 2020). Production in Sri Lanka will be delayed to late 2021 or early 2022. Saint Jean intends to pre-sell at least 7500 tonnes of the highest quality graphite in the world, verified in Saint Jean’s R&D facility, to a third party and never take physical possession of the material. Ameca and Saint Jean are in the process of agreeing on a formula of profit sharing on all sales. The intent is to sell the entire 10,000 tonnes of graphite under our agreement with Ameca. Ameca’s planned initial production is 15,000 tonnes per year.
