About Northern Graphite Corporation

Northern Graphite's 100% owned Bissett Creek project has the highest percentage of +32 mesh XXL and +50 mesh XL flake sizes in the industry, the highest percentage of flake suitable for use in lithium ion batteries ("LiBS") and the highest reported yield on converting it into the actual LiB anode material. This provides the Company with a natural competitive advantage in the two fastest growing graphite markets, LiBs and expandable graphite. The expandable graphite market is mainly based on high quality XL and XXL flake and is used in consumer electronics, advanced construction materials, fuel cells, high performance gaskets and many other products.

Bissett Creek is the most advanced new graphite project with a bankable Feasibility Study and its major environmental permit. Chinese supply problems and the continued rapid growth in new uses such as lithium ion batteries create the need for new western sources of graphite supply.
