The completion of the transaction, including the above-mentioned issuance of common shares, is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Any securities issued in connection with the transaction will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day. Daniel J.

Weir, CEO of DNI, commented, "I would like to thank everyone involved in completing this agreement.

The professional team at DNI is very excited about this world class graphite property.

With other graphite projects in the world having large capex costs and operating costs due to the "hard rock" they are working in (North America), DNI has focused on weathered rock, "saprolitic rock" or soft material found in countries like Madagascar and Brazil.

Costs can be significantly lower when working in saprolite." As per DNIs press releases dated April 1, 2015 and April 8, 2015; the due diligence trip in March returned head grades of 9.85%, 10.0% and 35.5% Graphitic Carbon.

Further testing of these samples has returned the following results: Jumbo and Large Flake distribution of greater than 62.5%.

All representative samples were collected under supervision of DNIs Country Manager, Steven Goertz.

The samples were processed at Process Research Ortech Inc.

and Agat Laboratories, both located in Ontario, Canada. Graphitic carbon assays were performed 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. These results were obtained via conventional flotation only without chemical treatment, i.e.

without the use of strong bases (NaOH - caustic roast technique) or acids (H2SO4/HF - acid leach technique). Steven Goertz, DNIs Country Manager and a Qualified Person under JORC and National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the information in this news release and approved this news release. Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
