Great Lakes Graphite Inc. announced the initialization of activities leading up to the recommissioning of the Matheson Graphite Micronization Facility. Pursuant to the agreement in principle announced on February 26th, 2015 between Great Lakes and Northfil Resources Limited, the parties have since successfully concluded the negotiation process and entered into a Facilities Use Agreement for the Matheson Micronization Facility. The agreement specifies an initial five year term, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional five years.

The Matheson facility contains all of the equipment required to micronize flake graphite and is capable of producing well in excess of 10,000 tonnes of finished product annually. The facility is located in Matheson, Ontario, 70 km east of Timmins and features city water, natural gas, ample electrical capacity, a rail siding, and easy highway access. With the FUA signed, work has begun on the Matheson Micronization Facility.
