Great Lakes Graphite Inc. announced the completion of its winter drill program at the Lochaber Graphite Project, located close to strong infrastructure in SW Québec. The drill program, which commenced in early December, has been completed on schedule and on budget. Final demobilization of field crews is currently underway.

Eight drill holes were completed for a total of 1,200 metres. The information collected from this program will be used to verify data from past drilling programs and it will also be used for the NI 43-101 Resource Calculation currently being compiled by SRK Consulting on the Company's 100% owned Lochaber Graphite Deposit. The infill drill program was successful, with some of the drill holes collaring in mineralization that continued over their entire length.

Each infill drill hole was intentionally ended at a set depth below the base of the proposed pit bottom. Further, mineralogical and lithological information from several drill holes strongly indicate that graphite mineralization was intersected over significant widths. All core samples from the drill program have been submitted to AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario for priority processing.

Results are expected shortly and will be released as soon as they are available. During the drilling period, the crew transported core from the Lochaber site to the company's secure core storage facility in Sudbury, Ontario. This enabled processing of the core to begin and to be conducted in parallel with drilling activities.

At the core shack, the core from each drill hole is examined and logged. The core is then split and one half is prepared for transportation to the assay laboratory, while the other half is returned to storage.
