About Northern Graphite Corporation

Northern Graphite Corporation is a Canadian company that has a 100% interest in
the Bissett Creek graphite project located in Ontario. Graphite prices have
increased substantially due to the ongoing modernization of China and other
emerging economies which has resulted in strong demand from traditional steel
and automotive markets. In addition, new applications such as lithium ion
batteries, vanadium redox batteries, fuel cells and nuclear power have the
potential to create significant incremental demand growth. It takes 20 to 30
times as much graphite as lithium to make a lithium ion battery and their use in
the growing EV/HEV market is expected to require significant increases in
graphite production. However, graphite production and exports from China, which
produces 70% of the world's supply, are expected to decline and an export tax
and a licensing system have been instituted. Both the European Union and the
United States have declared graphite a supply critical mineral.


Northern Graphite is well positioned to benefit from this compelling
supply/demand dynamic with a high purity, large flake, scalable deposit that is
located close to infrastructure. The Company has already demonstrated through
lab and bench scale metallurgical work, and full pilot plant testing, that its
proposed flow sheet can economically produce high quality, salable concentrates.
The FS and permitting are expected to be completed in the first half of 2012,
following which mine construction could commence, subject to the results of the
FS and financing. Additional information on Northern Graphite can be found under
