Aitolampi Assay Results
Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration
and development company, focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore
project and the Åtvidaberg polymetallic exploration licence in
Sweden, and its graphite portfolio in Finland, is pleased to
announce assay results for its latest drilling campaign at its
Aitolampi graphite project in Finland. Aitolampi is part of the
Company's 100% owned Exploration Permit Pitkäjärvi 1.
Highlights:
-- Drilling has confirmed the continuity of mineralisation
between holes drilled in 2017, wide graphite lenses extending along
strike, at least 350 metres ("m") along the main conductive zone
(the main electro-magnetic ("EM") anomaly extends for 700m), and at
depth.
-- For the two parallel higher-grade zones previously
identified, mineralisation has a strike length of at least 150m
(the two parallel conductive zones extend for 300m and 250m), and
these zones seem to merge to form one body of mineralisation.
-- From northwest to southeast along strike, drill holes
AITDD18014, AITDD18016, AITDD18015, AITDD18017 and AITD18018
(drilled on the same profile), all intersected this higher-grade
body of mineralisation, with intercepts of 89.60m at 4.01% Total
Graphite Carbon ("TGC"), 107.09m at 4.59% TGC, 108.69m at 5.04%
TGC, 121.68% at 5.00% TGC and 121.46m at 5.29% TGC
respectively.
-- For these holes, intercepts showing greater than 5% TGC were
as follows: AITDD18014 - 30.10m at 5.75% TGC; AITDD18016 - 29.00m
at 6.04% TGC; AITDD18017 - 62.42m at 6.08% TGC; and AITDD18018 -
92.46m at 6.19% TGC, including 44.00m at 7.08% TGC.
-- AITDD18018 is the furthest hole drilled to the southeast, to
test the parallel higher-grade conductive zone, which remains open
in all directions.
-- Within the Company's Pitkäjärvi licence area, several
extensive EM conductors, associated with graphite observed in
surface outcrops, have yet to be drilled, are prospective for
graphite mineralisation and offer potential upside.

Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:
"I am really pleased with the latest assay results from this
year's drilling programme. In January 2018, metallurgical testwork
demonstrated the broad market attractiveness of the graphite
concentrates that we might produce in the future. Not only do we
have the potential to serve lithium ion battery manufacturers, but
the Aitolampi concentrates' chemical and physical properties could
also suit many other applications.
"This year's drilling shows that higher-grade mineralisation
extends at least 150m along strike, with mineralised intercepts
ranging from 89.6m to 121.68m, grades ranging 4.01% to 5.29%, and
remaining open in all directions. This all adds to work we carried
out in 2017, defining the main conductive zone at Aitolampi. We now
look forward to producing a Maiden Resource Estimate ("MRE") (JORC
Code 2012 edition), and thereafter a Scoping Study.
"We have a supportive environment in Finland for battery
minerals and metals producers, which is materialising into new
networks, partnerships, projects, and funding opportunities, as
evidenced by our involvement in the raw materials suppliers'
Cooperation Network, and the funding we have received from Business
Finland.
"Recently, we announced the award of contracts for the MRE, and
an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Roadmap, and we will
shortly commence baseline environmental and biodiversity
studies.
"We have a busy few months ahead, and we look forward to
updating shareholders on our progress in due course."

Aitolampi - Background
Aitolampi is in eastern Finland, approximately 40 kilometres
southwest of the well-established mining town Outokumpu.
Infrastructure in the area is excellent, with road access and good
availability of high voltage power.
Latest Metallurgical Testwork - Marketing Assessment
The latest round of metallurgical testwork has been conducted by
ProGraphite Gmbh ("ProGraphite") based in Germany. ProGraphite
specialises in the processing and evaluation of graphite
materials.
Concentrates produced by SGS Minerals Services were combined and
sent to ProGraphite in the fourth quarter last year. The objective
of the advanced testwork was to determine the suitability of
Aitolampi concentrates for different market applications.
The following tests were undertaken:
-- Concentrate Product Characterisation (LOI/Fixed carbon on
concentrate and mesh fractions, bulk densities, Specific Surfaces
Analysis (SSA), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Inductively
Coupled Plasma ("ICP") analysis, and X-ray Diffraction ("XRD")
analysis;
-- Purification Processing (Acid purification, Alkaline
purification, and ICP analysis on purified graphite); and
-- Production of Expandable Graphite.
The following results were achieved:
-- Results show that both acid and alkaline purification methods
can produce a very clean concentrate of greater than 99.41%
C(t).
-- The alkaline method, using standard formulation, produced the
highest grades, 99.82% C(t) for the -100-mesh concentrate, and
99.86% C(t) for the +100-mesh concentrate.
-- Results obtained from acid purification reached 99.6% C(t) for the +100-mesh fraction.
-- The alkaline and acid purification results indicate that,
with some process optimisation, Aitolampi concentrates may meet the
purity specification of 99.95% C(t) required for the lithium ion
battery market.
-- There is also a good market for the -100 mesh and greater than 95% C(t) concentrate.
-- Carbon content in all fractions, including the fines, is very
high and ranges from 96.25 to 97.61% C(t). The demand is
significant for fine graphite with high carbon, across various
applications.
-- Aitolampi graphite shows high crystallinity, with the degree
of graphitisation measuring approximately 98%, which is almost
perfect crystallinity, and an important consideration for battery
manufacturers seeking high energy density in cells.
-- Volatiles are low which is an attractive product attribute,
and often a pre-condition, in many applications, including
refractories, lubricants, crucibles, and foundries.
-- SSA is comparable to that of high quality flake graphite from China.
-- Oxidation behaviour, tested with TGA analysis, is comparable
with Chinese graphite of the same flake size, used for
refractories, and other high temperature applications.
-- ICP analysis, for elemental impurities in the alkaline
purified concentrate, showed that impurities could be reduced to
significantly lower levels by intensifying purification, optimising
the amount of chemicals used, and process parameters, such as
reaction time and temperature.

mineralisation. belongs to the geological unit of the Karelian domain,
part of the proterozoic svecokarelian supracrustal
rocks. The area is in a regional open fold of
considerable size, about 10 kilometres ("km") wide
and 20-30km long which is cut by a regional fault
zone(s) in the northeast. The fold is clearly visible
on aeromagnetic and electromagnetic maps.
Quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss is the most common
rock type in the area. The main mineral composition
of the gneiss is quartz, feldspars (mainly
plagioclase), micas (mainly biotite) +/- graphite.
Accessory minerals seen in thin sections are zircons,
garnets, sericite and chlorite. Graphite schist is
common as layers and lenses in the
quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss. These metasediments
have been metamorphosed to the upper amphibolite to
granulite facies (650-700 ˚C, 4-5 kbar).
* The graphite mineralisation at Aitolampi comprises
several graphite lenses which generally extend for
several hundred metres along strike and dips 40-50 to
SW. Based on the completed drill program the known
graphite/sulphide bearing lenses consists of 40-140m
wide continuous units of predominately fine to medium
graphite flakes, containing approximately 4% total
graphitic carbon. The hanging- and footwall is
comprised of quartz-feldspar-biotite rich gneisses
with common garnet porphyroblasts. The graphitic
lenses are commonly intruded by pegmatite veins which
vary in thickness from few decimeters to tens of
meter.
