Northern's principal asset is the Bissett Creek graphite project located in Eastern Ontario and close to required infrastructure including roads, towns, natural gas supply and a port. Bissett Creek is a very advanced stage, development project as the Company has completed a bankable Feasibility Study and received its major environmental permit. The Company believes Bissett Creek is the best new graphite project as it has the highest margin, the lowest capital cost and the lowest marketing risk. Graphite is the anode material used to make lithium ion batteries and this market is growing at over 20% per year due to continued strong demand for personal devices and electric vehicles and grid storage are two big, new emerging markets. New, non Chinese sources of supply are urgently needed and Northern Graphite is well positioned to benefit.
