Graphite is not just the "lead" in your pencil. It is also the largest component in an electric vehicle battery. To meet EV demand current world graphite production needs to increase by multiples and right now it’s all manufactured and shipped from China. How green is that?
There is a Natural, North American solution…Northern Graphite

Today’s electric vehicles are powered by batteries made from graphite shipped all the way from China. How GREEN is that? How about a natural, North American solution………..Northern Graphite
There is 25-100 kilograms of #graphite in the Li ion battery of a single #electricvehicle and most graphite still comes from China. To meet demand flake graphite production needs to more than double by 2025. North American automakers could access a more secure, regional supply from projects like Northern Graphite's Bissett Creek in Canada.
Why Graphite?
- Largest component in lithium ion battery

- Multiple new mines needed for EV market
- Most comes from China
Why Northern?
- Only North American producer
- Will be 3rd largest non-Chinese producer
- Two large development projects
- All projects:
- In politically stable countries
- Have “battery quality” graphite
- Close to infrastructure
Four High Quality Assets
Northern owns the Lac des Iles (LDI) mine in Quebec, the only significant graphite producer in North America. Northern plans to increase production and extend the mine life with it’s acquisition of 100% interest in the Mousseau West graphite deposit. Mousseau West is located approximately 80 kms from LDI and has the potential to significantly extend its life and return production to 25,000tpy.
Northern's Namibian operations consist of the Okanjande graphite deposit, which has a very large measured and indicated resource, and the Okorusu processing plant. Northern will become the third largest graphite producer outside of China when its Namibian operations come back on line.
Northern plans to develop its advanced stage Bissett Creek project in Ontario which has a full Feasibility Study. It has been rated as the highest margin graphite deposit in the world.
