Jun 08, 2012 -- Vancouuver, B.C., June 8, 2012 - BIG NORTH GRAPHITE CORP. CA:NRT -15.00% (the "Company" or "Big North"), announces that the high resolution electromagnetic airborne surveying, utilizing the Impulse system of Aeroquest Limited, has been completed on both the Griffith and Brougham properties, located in southeastern Ontario.

In total 1,187 line kilometres were flown, with flight lines 100m apart, allowing for detailed mapping of stratigraphy and conductive features. The Company expects to be in possession of final data next week. Inspection of preliminary data by the Company's consultants suggests that both properties have conductors present, including coincident features to the known graphite showings. The results of the EM survey will be used to direct a field program of ground geophysics, mapping and sampling. The details of the next phase of exploration will be announced once finalized by the Company.

Mr. Bill Brereton, P.Eng., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, independent of Big North, and an Optionor of the Property, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this release.
