About Northern Graphite Corporation

Northern is a graphite development and battery technology company whose Bissett Creek deposit is located in eastern Canada. Bissett Creek provides a natural competitive advantage in the lithium ion battery field as it has a high percentage of battery grade material, a high yield on the conversion of mine concentrate to anode material, and a pristine, highly ordered crystal structure that results in less costly purification and higher capacity batteries,. The Company is leveraging these advantages with proprietary, environmentally sustainable coating and purification technologies to make better and lower cost anode materials and to replace the environmentally damaging practices currently used in their manufacture.

Bissett Creek is an advanced, pre-development stage project that has a Feasibility Study and its major environmental permit. The Bissett Creek project has good location/infrastructure, a high percentage of large/XL/XXL flake, a reasonable capital cost and the highest operating margin of any proposed graphite project. Because of Chinese supply issues and the continued rapid growth in new uses such as lithium ion batteries, new western sources of supply will be needed, particularly for large/XL /XXL flake graphite.
