Great Lakes Graphite Inc. announced that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment has approved an amendment to the Air/Noise permit for the Matheson Micronization Facility, located in Matheson, Ontario, Canada. The Company is now fully permitted and has all required approvals from the Ontario government to begin operation at the facility. Since project work began in early 2015, the Company has worked closely with the Ontario government, local aboriginal communities and the surrounding local community of Matheson.

The company intends to continue this effective approach as it moves into production at the facility.
