American Graphite Technologies Inc. ("AGIN" or the "Company")
(OTCBB: AGIN) and (BERLIN: A8G) (WKN:A1KBDQ/ISIN:US02640K1079)
announces the receipt of the project abstract from Mr. D.V.
Vynogradov (SPE RESST KIPT) project manager of the scientific team
at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics & Technology ("KIPT") in
Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The project, called P-600, will research the properties of
nanocarbon contained matter (graphene) as working material for 3D
printing. The project will be a partnership between AGIN, Science
and Production Establishment "Renewable Energy Sources and
Sustainable Technologies" ("RESST") National Science Center "KIPT"
National Academy of Science of Ukraine and Institute of Solid State
Physics and Material Science National Science Center "KIPT"
National Academy of Science of Ukraine.
The scientific team will consist of 8 scientists (1 Prof., D.Sc,
2 PhD's; 3 former weapons scientists and 2 PhD student) including
Mr. Vynogradov. The expertise of the team will include the fields
of nanotechnology, 3D printing, solid state physics, physical
materials and thermal physics.
In the abstract received by the Company, Mr. Vynogradov noted,
"The perspective scope of research as we think are thin films and
extremely small-scale objects with nano and micro-meter dimensions.
Thus, we plan to pay special attention to the research with
creating the graphene objects into nano and micro-meter typical
size."
The Company is waiting for the final approval from the Ministry
of Education and Science of Ukraine and Science and Technology
Centre in Ukraine ("STCU") which is expected to be released within
two weeks.
The 3-D printing market is anticipated to grow to $5.2 Billion
by the year 2020.

About American Graphite Technologies Inc.
American Graphite Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: AGIN ) is a mineral
exploration and technology development company that is listed on a
US Stock Exchange where the Company's ticker symbol is AGIN and on
the Berlin Stock Exchange under the following symbol: A8G
(WKN:A1KBDQ/ISIN:US02640K1079). By concentrating on securing
graphite mining opportunities and the commercialization of graphene
specific proprietary technology methods, management is seeking to
bring profitable opportunities and maximize shareholder value.
Graphene has been described as the "miracle material" of the 21st
Century and is believed to be stronger than steel and more
conductive than copper while being flexible, making it plausible as
a replacement over silicon possibly leading to thinner, faster,
cheaper, more flexible devices including power sources. Since
graphene comes from the carbon atom it is abundant and cheap. In
2010 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and
Konstantin Novoselov for groundbreaking experiments regarding
graphene. Advances in alternative energy technologies are driving
demand for strategic metals like graphite that have recently
evolved from industrial demands to include high tech uses as
nations focus on encouraging the development of new domestic
markets for clean and efficient energy alternatives, smart grid
infrastructure and military capabilities.
About Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine
("STCU") The STCU is the first intergovernmental organization
in Ukraine and was established by an Agreement signed on 15 October
1993, by the four founding Parties: Ukraine, Canada, Sweden and the
United States of America. Through the STCU Partner Program, private
companies, industry organizations, academic and non-government
organizations, and government agencies and programs from Canada,
European Union, and the USA may contract for research and
development work with Azeri, Georgian, Moldovan, Ukrainian and
Uzbek scientists and institutes.
By virtue of the STCU's status as a diplomatically-accredited
inter-governmental organization and because of its highly-qualified
staff, Partners enjoy significant benefits including: (1) the
professional support the STCU renders at the project development
stage, and (2) having their projects administered by the STCU
during the project implementation stage.
About Kharkiv Institute of Physics and
Technology ("KIPT") Kharkov Institute of Physics and
Technology ("KIPT"), being one of oldest and largest centers of
physical science in Ukraine, was created in 1928 for the purpose of
developing urgent lines of research (at the time -- nuclear physics
and solid-state physics). After disintegration of the USSR the
Institute is actively comprised in the process of creation of
research complex of Ukraine, as well as in shaping policy and
corresponding institutes of Ukraine in the field of atomic
industry, nuclear energy, in the development of material science,
accelerator equipment and new sources of energy for demands of
civil and defense branches.
By the decree of the President of Ukraine in 1993 the Institute
was given the status of the first in Ukraine National Science
Center (the NSC KIPT), and Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine
confirmed, "Program on atomic science and technique of the NSC
KIPT." According to the Decree, in the NSC KIPT on the basis of
scientific departments were formed the Institute of Plasma Physics,
the Institute of Solid-state Physics, Materials Science and
Technologies, the Institute of Plasma Electronics and New Methods
of Acceleration, the Institute of Theoretical Physics, the
Institute of High-energy Physics and Nuclear Physics. Also there
was created R&D Complex "Accelerator," the Technological
Complex "Nuclear Fuel Cycle," Research-and-production Complex of
Renewing Sources of Energy. Nearly 400 PhD and 80 Doctors of
Sciences, 7 Members of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine work
at KIPT. More than fifty persons are the winners of State and
Nominal Prizes. From 1981 more than 60 monographs have been written
by the scientists of the NSC KIPT.
