Northern Graphite Plans to Open Ontario Mine Next Year
By Greg Klein

If the timeline holds, Northern Graphite’s TSXV:NGC Bissett Creek Project will be one of the first graphite mines to open outside China since the 1990s. Bankable feasibility is scheduled for completion later this month, along with a mine closure plan. Assuming the latter is approved by the Ontario government, a year of construction will bring the project to fruition by the end of next year.

“From a mining and metallurgical point of view, the project has pretty well been de-risked,” CEO Gregory Bowes declares. “This thing had a full feasibility study done on it during the 1980s, so we’re effectively doing the second one, and all the results are consistent. So it’s low risk, technically.”
