HIGHLIGHTS

Drill permits secured for L.A.B. Graphite Project, Quebec

Four trench program to test newly identified anomalous zones

4,025 meter drill program to confirm historic graphite zone and test new anomalous zones



Vancouver, B.C.: NRG Metals Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: NGZ); (Frankfurt Exchange: OGPN );(OTC
Pink Sheet: GPOFF ) The Company is pleased to announce it has applied for permits to conduct a trench
and drill program on the L.A.B. Graphite Project, located in Quebec, Canada. The Property is located in a
very active graphite exploration and production area, and is adjacent and contiguous to the south of the
TIMCAL (Imerys Graphite & Carbon Mine) Mine, one of only two graphite mines producing in North
America.

The Property has a historical resource of 1,320,847 tonnes at 9% graphitic carbon ("Cg"), based on 79
drill holes totalling 5,958 metres. The drilling was conducted from 1981-83 by Orrwell Energy Corp. The
historical resource was calculated through polygon method with sectional volume calculated using
different average grades for each polygon (Source: Douglas Parent 1982, Quebec Ministry of Natural
Resources (MRNF) report GM46736 and its database). CAUTION: The historical estimate presented
above is relevant to the further exploration of the project which, the Company intends to undertake
in the future. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as
current mineral-resources or mineral reserves; and the Issuer is not treating the historical estimate as
current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The historical resource terms used by the author of the
1982 report are not comparable to the CIM defined resource. There is no recent drill information on
the Lac Aux Bouleaux Project, and further drilling will be required to upgrade and verify the historical
estimate as a current mineral resource, and there is no certainty that this can be accomplished. The
issuer has not done the work necessary to verify the classification, grade or quantity of the resource
or reserve. The issuer is not treating them as a NI 43-101 defined resource or reserve verified by a
qualified person.



To date , the Company has completed sampling, metallurgy, and an airborne magnetics and TDEM
survey. Results from six mineralized grab samples returned high carbon graphite (% Cg) values of 23.8%,
18.4%, 16.6%, 16.0%, 15.9%, and 13% Cg with an average grade of 17.2% Cg (the six grab samples are
 selective and the results and grades may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the
property ). The four Country rock grab samples assayed 1.53%, 0.55%, 0.26% and .02 % for an average of
0.59% Cg. SGS Canada performed extensive metallurgical testing on the project samples, returning up
to 96.7% C(g) ( see NI 43-101 Technical Report ), indicating the potential to produce a marketable
graphite concentrate by a simple flotation process. The airborne geophysical survey completed by
Prospectair in November 2015 confirmed several high priority targets consisting of known historical
conductors, and several large newly identified conductors. The strongest TDEM anomaly outlined, with a
dimension of 300 m by 500 m, is located 1 kilometer northeast of the L.A.B. mill building. It is also on
trend with the interpreted graphitic horizons of the Lac des Iles graphite Mine currently operated by
Imerys Graphite & Carbon, and is located only 1.2 km south of the main open pit of this mine. As a
result, the conductor denoted by this strong anomaly has been deemed very high priority. Another
conductor located adjacent to the current historical L.A.B. pit is also a high priority, as it is the location
of prior surface sampling of which six samples returned an average of 17.8% C (g).

Pending results the Company plans to drill up to 28 holes for 4,025 meters to confirm the historic
resource noted above, and explore other high priority geophysical targets that are larger than those
anomalies contained in the area of the historic graphite resource. Initially, a four trench program will be
completed across newly identified anomalous zones prior to drilling.. Much of the area of interest is
Crown Land that has a simple permitting process. A Company representative has been in contact with
the private land owners whom comprise a small portion of the area of interest, and has secured their
permission to explore those areas. The Company is now reviewing drill and engineering proposals, and
the program is expected to begin in the immediate future.
