          <p>MONTR&#201;AL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 2022--Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (&#8220;NMG&#8221;, &#8220;Nouveau Monde&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (NYSE: NMG, TSXV: NOU) held yesterday its hybrid Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the &#8220;Meeting&#8221;) from its
            Phase-1 plant in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, an occasion to showcase its brand-new coating line with a nameplate capacity of 2,000 tonnes per annum (&#8220;tpa&#8221;). Completing the Company&#8217;s integrated anode material production, from ore to battery
            material, the coating module was built over H1-2022 to complement NMG&#8217;s portfolio of advanced materials. </p>
          <p> The ultimate beneficiation step, coating is instrumental to battery technology. Coating helps create a stable electrolyte interface layer in the battery system and increase initial coulombic efficiency and discharge capacity, thus extending
            the battery performance over time. With this addition, NMG now operates the only fully integrated North American natural graphite production and is positioned to provide customers with a variety of customizable high-purity advanced materials to
            meet their specifications, desired environmental footprint, and quality standards. </p>
          <p> Arne H Frandsen, Chair of NMG, said: <i>&#8220;NMG&#8217;s scaled development plan has reached a significant milestone: Phase 1 now covers the full value chain! From extraction and concentration to advanced processing and battery testing in our
              laboratory, we have engineered processes, designed operations, and built facilities that demonstrate our proprietary technologies and production capability. This constitutes a springboard for executing our Phase 2 to develop what is projected
              to be North America&#8217;s largest fully integrated natural graphite operation. As an early mover, timing is superb for NMG considering the pressure battery and electric vehicles (&#8220;EV&#8221;) manufacturers are experiencing due to growth in demand for
              cleantech and limited raw materials.&#8221;</i> </p>

          </div>
          <p> NMG&#8217;s innovative coating technology is projected to generate up to 25% energy reduction compared to the dominant manufacturing operations, with a minimal environmental footprint thanks to the Company&#8217;s access to clean hydropower and its
            strong ESG operational parameters. The technology built in this Phase 1 is planned to be replicated and scaled up for the Phase-2 B&#233;cancour Battery Material Plant, for a planned 42,000-tpa production at the commercial level. The Company&#8217;s
            engineering team in collaboration with specialized firms have secured a technology that provides versatility for the use of different precursors as research and development advances. </p>
          <p> Cold commissioning of the kiln and utilities is underway with NMG&#8217;s and the equipment&#8217;s supplier technical team onsite; hot commissioning is expected to start shortly after with the objective of processing the first tonne of material at the
            beginning of Q3-2022. The Company expects stable production by the end of Q3-2022 to support product qualification, operational optimization, and detailed engineering of the Phase 2 B&#233;cancour Battery Material Plant. </p>
          <p> Eric Desaulniers, Founder, President, and CEO of NMG, commented:<i> </i><i>&#8220;I am extremely proud of our team who has delivered a highly technical project safely and on budget amidst a complex environment shaken by logistical turbulences,
              labor shortages and rising inflation. We are now set to provide a turnkey supply of anode material to our potential customers, reinforcing our active commercial discussions and bringing us one step closer to signing an offtake agreement with
              a strategic anchor customer.&#8221;</i> </p>

            anode application. Production of coated spherical purified graphite (&#8220;CSPG&#8221;) in commercial-like settings, with NMG&#8217;s ore, technology and facilities, further advances commercial discussions with potential customers with a view towards the

              such strategic initiatives will yield the expected benefits, the availability of financing or financing on favorable terms for the Company, the dependence on commodity prices, the impact of inflation on costs, the risks of obtaining the
              necessary permits, the operating performance of the Company&#8217;s assets and businesses, competitive factors in the graphite mining and production industry, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company&#8217;s businesses, political and social
