Matheson Micronization Facility © 2015 Great Lakes Graphite Inc. - All Rights Reserved. The Matheson Micronization Facility ● Built for micronizing agricultural industrial minerals. ● Recommissioning will repurpose for graphite. ● Natural gas, power, road & rail are all available on site. ● Plant startup targeted for 4Q15. The Matheson Facility is located 1 hour east of Timmins, Ontario. ★ Excellent condition of the facility minimizes costs and timelines. ★ Micronization equipment made by CMS in Brampton, Ontario. ★ Low cost. Short timeline. Targeting positive CF by YE 2015. © 2015 Great Lakes Graphite Inc. - All Rights Reserved. Simplified Matheson Flow Diagram ★ Three independent complete production circuits. ★ Business plan calls for production of 10K tonnes/yr. ★ Refurbishment est. = ~$800K. Pilot plant testing has been conducted and the milling and classifying units parameters including feed rate (tons per hour), rotor/hammer settings, and the ability to meet customer quality size parameters - has been conducted and internally qualified. © 2015 Great Lakes Graphite Inc. - All Rights Reserved.

Commissioning Targeted in 2H15! © 2015 Great Lakes Graphite Inc. - All Rights Reserved. The Matheson Advantage Leveraging an existing facility... saves over $10 million of CAPEX spending... and three years of planning, permitting & construction. © 2015 Great Lakes Graphite Inc. - All Rights Reserved. Matheson: Risk is Mitigated 4 Ways Permitting Starting with a permitted facility mitigates the risk of the permitting process (only one modification to the Air/Noise Permit is required, to allow graphite processing). Flowsheet Tests run on the same equipment as exists in the Matheson facility have successfully produced the four required sizes of micronized graphite. Construction Construction risks are completely mitigated by beginning with an existing facility. Refurbishment risks are known and mitigated. Personnel Management with deep experience in the critical areas of operations and commercial graphite sales mitigates execution risk significantly. © 2015 Great Lakes Graphite Inc. - All Rights Reserved.
