Great Lakes Graphite Provides Clarification of Disclosure in its Corporate Presentation

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 1, 2015) - Great Lakes Graphite Inc. ("Great Lakes", "GLK" or the "Company" (TSX VENTURE:GLK)(OTC:GLKIF, FWB:8GL) announces that as a result of a continuous disclosure review by the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission, it is issuing the following news release to retract and clarify its disclosure.

Restricted Disclosure of Economic Analysis

NI 43-101 restricts the disclosure of the results of an economic analysis prior to completing at least a Preliminary Economic Assessment based on at least inferred mineral resources to support the disclosure.

The Company's corporate presentation dated April 2015 contained statements which may have been potentially misleading, in that they related to topics such as forecast production rates from the Lochaber Graphite Project and to potential future graphite prices. Given that the Company has not yet defined a NI-43-101-compliant mineral resource on the property, it is potentially misleading for the Company to disclose information related to anticipated economic viability and planned production.

Upon receipt of the comment letter from the Ontario Securities Commission, the Company immediately updated the corporate presentation on its website to remove the remarks in question.
