Great Lakes Graphite Inc. (TSX-V:GLK) (OTC PINK:GLKIF) (FRANKFURT:8GL) is pleased to announce it has entered into an equity financing agreement with Global Corporate Finance LLC through which up to USD$4,000,000 is being made available to the Company over a two year period. The facility is intended to provide access to working capital to fund operations of the Company during initiation of commercial production and for sales and marketing purposes and other corporate initiatives that may arise during that period.

Great Lakes will control the timing and drawdown amount under the agreement, which is contingent upon approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to access available funds at predetermined intervals, in exchange for equity.

“Global Corporate Finance is looking forward to investing in Great Lakes Graphite and gaining direct exposure to a vertically integrated, carbon focused company with a strong management team,” said Randy Rivera, a Managing Director at GCF.

“Partnering with the team at Global Corporate Finance, a world class investment group, provides Great Lakes with the financial strength to insure the proper execution of our business plan. GCF brings a wealth of experience gained from working with growing businesses, as well as the capital to facilitate the establishment of our micronization and purification business lines. This arrangement was specifically structured to free the Company from continuing to spend an inordinate amount of time seeking investment capital,” said Paul Gorman, CEO of GLK.
