DNI Metals Identifies an Additional Mineralised Zone on Its Vohistara Graphite Project, Madagascar

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2016) - DNI METALS INC. (CSE: DNI) (FSE: DG7N) is pleased to announce the discovery of an additional zone of graphite mineralisation on the Company's 100%-owned Vohitsara Graphite Project in Madagascar.

The Maps below show the new zone and to the east; the main area, the focus of DNI's July 2015 trenching program. http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/674-super-jumbolarge-flake-including-253-super-jumbo-and-295-jumbo-flake-at-dni-metals-madagascar-graphite-property-531026771.html

With only a small portion of DNI's 43 square km graphite property explored, substantial future exploration is planned for the property. The potential for additional zones is considered very high.

A 3,000 meter drill program is planned for the main mineralised trend that averages 300 metres width over a strike length of approximately 900 metres. This program is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2016. Compared to the majority of graphite projects in North America; which are generally hosted in hard rock; the weathered saprolitic material characteristic of DNI's Vohitsara project is comparatively easier to drill and extract.

Outside of China, major graphite producing countries like Brazil and Madagascar produce from saprolitic ores. The capital and operating expenses for these type of deposits are materially cheaper than for their hard rock counterparts.

DNI's Vohitsara Graphite Property is fully permitted as explained in a press release dated, July 22, 2015. http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/dni-metals-receives-full-mining-permits-for-its-graphite-project-in-madagascar-518104031.html

Assaying for graphitic carbon was performed at Agat Laboratories located in Ontario, Canada, using a modified infrared assay method. This method is preferable to other industry-accepted assay methods including varying forms of Loss on Ignition (LOI) testing.

All representative samples were prepared and collected by or under supervision of DNI's Country Manager, Steven Goertz. Mr. Goertz is a Geologist and is a Qualified Person under NI43-101 regulations. Mr. Goertz has approved this Press release.

Neither the CSE nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as at the date of this news release. Any statement that involves discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often but not always using phrases such as "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts", "estimates", "believes" or "intends" or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results "may" or "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken to occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. In this news release, forward-looking statements relate, among other things, to: the anticipated benefits of the Transaction to the Company and shareholders of the Company; the pro forma shareholdings of the Company's shareholders in DNI; execution of the Definitive Agreement, the timing and receipt of the required shareholder, stock exchange and regulatory approvals for the Transaction; the anticipated timing for mailing the management information circular to the shareholders of the Company in respect of the Transaction; the closing of the Transaction; the length of the current market cycle and requirements for an issuer to survive in the current market cycle; future growth potential of DNI and its business; and future mine development plans.

These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forwardlooking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to materially differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions to closing of the Transaction (including receipt of all necessary shareholder, stock exchange and regulatory approvals or consents, and the absence of material changes with respect to the parties and their respective businesses); the synergies expected from the Transaction not being realized; business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets and the market price of the DNI Shares and the Company Shares; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of graphite or certain other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate); change in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); and title to properties. In addition, the failure of a party to comply with the terms of the Definitive Agreement (assuming the Definitive Agreement is entered into) may result in that party being required to pay a non-completion or other fee to the other party, the result of which could have a material adverse effect on the paying party's financial position and results of operations and its ability to fund growth prospects and current operations.
