OAKVILLE, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/14/13 -- Canada Carbon Inc. (formerly Bolero Resources Corp.) (the "Company', "Canada Carbon") (TSX VENTURE: CCB), (FRANKFURT: U7N1) is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced agreement to acquire certain mining claims in relation to three properties: the Miller, Walker and Dun Raven graphite mines with 9228-6202 Quebec Inc. (herein "Quebec Inc") a private Quebec corporation.

Paul Ogilvie CEO commented: "We are very pleased with the acquisitions. The Miller property will add great value to our business model; the opportunity to own a lump/vein graphite project is very exciting, we look forward to starting work as soon as possible. We anticipate the Walker and Dun Raven properties will be secondary material feed stock for our mill".

The Miller Mine is a past producer of graphite located 70km west of Montreal. This mine may have been the first graphite operation in Canada. It was worked around 1845 to at least 1900 when it was reported that a twenty-five car trainload of lump graphite was shipped from the deposit. The property consists of nine claims covering 5.4km2 including the past mine and similar geology around the original deposit, with road access and power nearby. The mineralization at the mine site consists of five veins of varying widths with unknown direction or depth. The quantity and grade is unknown but such veins usually consist of high grade mineralization ranging from 30 to 90% graphite. Vein graphite is the most valued natural form of graphite, and is currently only mined in Sri Lanka. There is no certainty that further exploration will result in the development of similar deposits. Pursuant to the terms of the mining claims purchase and transfer agreement ("Agreement") dated January 7th, 2012, Canada Carbon has made an initial contribution of $5,000 CDN and will make a second cash payment of $45,000 CDN on April 1, 2013 and will pay a yearly royalty of 0.75% on the net production returns. As further consideration for the transfer and sale of the Miller Claims and related assets, the Company has issued 1,000,000 common shares to Quebec Inc. A conditional payment of 1,000,000 shares will be issued on the first anniversary date of the closing after the purchaser makes certain expenditures of up to $250,000 CDN and confirms specific defined quality, grade and feasibility targets.

The Walker Mine is a past producer of graphite located 30 km northeast of Ottawa. The property consists of four claims covering the past mine and eleven claims covering interesting geological formations with potential graphite mineralization around the original deposit. More than thirty pits have been reported on the past producing property. Massive graphite veins have been found at the Walker Mine. Pursuant to the terms of the mining claims purchase and transfer agreement ("Agreement") dated January 7th, 2012, Canada Carbon has made an initial contribution of $5,000 CDN and will make a second cash payment of $45,000 CDN on April 1, 2013 and will pay a yearly royalty of 2% on the net production returns. As further consideration for the transfer and sale of the Walker Claims and related assets, the Company has issued 1,500,000 common shares to Quebec Inc. A conditional payment of 1,000,000 shares will be issued on the first anniversary date of the closing after the purchaser makes certain expenditures of up to $250,000 CDN and confirms specific defined quality, grade and feasibility targets.
