**Versarien plc** (LON: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, has announced
that it will today showcase an innovative large-scale industrial prototype which
aims to improve rail transportation infrastructure.

The prototype under evaluation uses a 3D-printed polymer structure constructed using
Versarien’s high-purity, low-defect, graphene enhanced polymer technology. The addition
of Versarien’s graphene to the structure is designed to increase its tensile strength
and thermal protection, enabling the viable 3D-printing of large-scale transport
infrastructure components.

The preview event being held today in Bristol will be attended by investors and 
partners of Versarien. In particular, attendees will include representatives from
other Versarien collaboration partners, together with Chinese, Japanese and UK government
representatives.

No material new information is expected to be disclosed at the event.

**Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: **

> “We are delighted to be able to showcase this large-scale prototype structure 
> manufactured using our graphene enhanced polymer technology. The event being hosted
> by one of our collaboration partners will allow us to demonstrate how we are making
> significant progress with our graphene technology. Graphene holds the potential
> to radically transform how future rail infrastructure is designed and installed.
> “We look forward to providing further information on this project in due course,
> together with showcasing further examples of the significant benefits our graphene
> technology can bring.”
