Great Lakes Graphite (GLK-V) July 30, '15 today announces that the Company has executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Benton Capital (BTC-V) to provide Benton with the right to acquire up to a 10% gross overriding royalty interest (“GOR”) on the sale of micronized flake graphite and any other material processed or micronized by GLK’s Innovations division (“GLI”) at the micronization facility located in Matheson, Ontario, 70km east of Timmins, Ontario. Subject to regulatory approval, due diligence and execution of a Definitive Agreement, Benton has the right to acquire up to a 10% Gross Overriding Royalty by providing GLI with $800,000 in three tranches as follows: To earn 5% GOR, Benton will make an initial payment of $400,000 on execution of the Definitive Agreement; To earn 7.5% GOR, Benton will make an additional payment of $200,000 on or before September 15, 2015; To earn 10% GRO, Benton will make an additional payment of $200,000 on or before October 15, 2015. The 10% GOR applies to the first 30,000 tonnes of micronized material sold or such greater number of tonnes until a minimum of $10 million has been paid to Benton. The GOR is then reduced to $50/tonne for the duration of the Facilities Use Agreement (“FUA”), between GLI and Northfil Resources Limited. Upon expiry of the facilities use agreement, Benton will have the right of first refusal to continue to receive the GOR of $50/tonne (plus an indexed 5% increase annually) by paying 30% of the additional facilities use agreement cost, or should GLI acquire a new facility at that time, Benton will have the right to receive a 10% GOR on product produced from the new facility if Benton pays 30% of the acquisition cost of the new facility. Paul Gorman, CEO of Great Lakes Graphite commented on this relationship by stating, “To have a financing partner like Benton who understands and shares the value process of what we are building in Matheson is advantageous for both companies.” About Benton Capital Corp.: Benton is a publicly traded company which has over $1 million in cash, holds 1,566,623 warrants of Coro Mining Corp. exercisable at $0.15 until December 20, 2016. In addition, Benton holds no debt and has a very low burn rate. Benton also holds the Goodchild-PGM-Copper-Nickel project located less than 4km from Stillwater’s Marathon Copper-PGM deposit which is currently under development near Marathon Ontario. The Company’s strategy is to seek out and acquire attractive royalty opportunities that offer shareholder value now and into the future. About Great Lakes Graphite: Great Lakes Graphite Inc. is an industrial minerals company focussed on bringing value-added carbon products to a well-defined market. The Company’s Innovation Division has entered into long-term agreements for use of the Matheson Micronization Facility and for supply of high quality natural graphite concentrate (see news release dated 03/23/15) which are positioning Great Lakes Graphite to become an emerging domestic manufacturer and supplier of micronized products to a growing regional customer base where pricing and demand continue to rise.

Great Lakes Graphite (GLK-V) Sept 3rd 2015 is pleased to announce that it will receive a financial contribution of up to $30,000 from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) to help support graphite purification research and development at Process Research ORTECH, located in Mississauga, Ontario. Paul Gorman, CEO stated “We are honoured to receive recognition in the form of this support from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program. The purification work we are conducting with Process Research ORTECH is aimed at developing processes to produce an ultra-high purity carbon product. We believe that our partnership with Process Research ORTECH is representative of several steps that are being taken by us and others, towards securing a leadership position for Canada in the global battery and energy storage supply chain. I would like to thank NRC-IRAP on behalf of our Company and our partners for doing so much to encourage emerging businesses and unique technologies in Canada.” Funding and advisory services from IRAP will be used to support the work described in the news release regarding GLK’s technology partnership with Process Research ORTECH distributed earlier this year, on June 12. The main objective of the partnership is to develop a purification process to achieve a graphite product of +99% purity that is highly economical while incurring the least environmental impact. Beneficiation of graphite concentrate to a 99%-plus purity level is a requirement for use in lithium-ion batteries and for other high technology applications. For example, semiconductor technology demands constant innovation and ultra-high-purity materials from suppliers. Products made from high-purity fine-grain graphite meet these requirements. Development of materials for wafer production processes and coatings enhance the purity of the next semiconductor generation, while extending the service life of materials at the same time. Battery Raw Materials Conference / Graphite Field Trip Benchmark Minerals Intelligence is offering attendees to their “Battery Raw Materials and Supply Chain 20/20” Conference in Toronto on September 24th the opportunity to sign up for a Graphite Field Trip. The half-day outing, scheduled for the day following the conference, is being hosted by GLK and Process Research ORTECH and conducted at the PRO facility in Mississauga, Ontario. Participants will see a live demonstration of graphite concentrate production and will hear presentations on micronization and purification, LEAN manufacturing of value-added graphite products and how GLK and our partners are planning to help establish Canadian leadership in energy storage technology. About Process Research ORTECH: Process Research ORTECH Inc was formed in January 1999 to take over the Process Technologies division of ORTECH Corporation (Formerly Ontario Research Foundation) under the privatization scheme of the Ontario Government. The mandate of this company is to continue the research and development work carried on by this division of ORTECH Corporation for the past 70 years, and to explore innovative solutions in this area to better serve the needs of Canadian industries as well as international companies. Process Research ORTECH (PRO) is now a privately owned organization serving mining, metallurgical, recycling and chemical industries. Recognizing the need for sustainable development for these industries the company has expanded to offer its clients process technologies for economic advantage, environmental stewardship and societal care.
