About Great Lakes Graphite: Great Lakes
Graphite Inc. is an industrial minerals company focussed on
bringing carbon products to a well defined market through a
vertically integrated supply chain.
As there is currently no significant graphite production in
North America, Great Lakes Graphite has the ability to become one
of the first domestic suppliers to a growing regional customer base
that requires high quality natural graphite, where pricing and
demand continue to rise.
The Company, through strategic acquisitions and capable
management is becoming a leader in the industrial minerals
marketplace.
The Company through its Innovations Division is currently
recommissioning an Ontario based Micronization Facility for
re-start in late 2015 to achieve the following objectives:
- Establish a position in the upgraded graphite products market
with North American customers.
- Create a competitive and disruptive advantage by leveraging
existing assets.
- Pursue an accelerated timeline to cash flow and revenue by
micronizing and upgrading flake graphite, enabled by supply
agreements with current graphite producers.
- Develop customer relationships that will, in the longer term,
position the Company to pursue off-take arrangements for Great
Lakes' 100% owned Lochaber Graphite Deposit, located in SW
Québec.
The Lochaber Graphite Deposit is located just
30km east of Ottawa, in southwestern Québec. The Company has
also entered into option and joint venture agreements with Eloro
Resources Inc. on the Summit-Gaber Cobalt property located in the
La Grande Greenstone Belt in the Baie James region of Québec.
