Great Lakes Graphite Inc. (TSXV: GLK) ("Great Lakes" or the "Company") today provides the following update on activities related to the exploration and development of the Lochaber Graphite
Property.
NI 43-101 Resource Estimate
The Company has engaged SRK Consulting to complete the preparation of an National Instrument ("NI") 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lochaber Graphite Property located in southeastern Québec (the "Resource
Estimate"). CEO Paul Gorman said, "Soon after we began discussions regarding a Feasibility Study for the Lochaber project, it was clear that having SRK Consulting complete the work on an NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate on the Lochaber
property would facilitate subsequent work on a Feasibility Study. Having SRK's name on our Resource Estimate is a way of demonstrating our ongoing commitment to the highest industry standards."
Preliminary work toward the Resource Estimate including all of the supporting data that have been used in internal studies and scenarios have been made available to SRK Consulting. "We are confident that the completion of a resource estimate
on the highly prospective Lochaber Graphite Property will be a major strategic step forward in realizing value from our significant investment in this property", Great Lakes CEO Gorman commented. The company expects the Resource Estimate to be
published during the first quarter of 2015.

Fieldwork - Drill Program
A field crew and diamond drilling equipment have been mobilized to the Lochaber Graphite Property to carry out a program of 600 m of drilling that will provide additional data for the Resource Estimate and a contemplated Feasibility Study in the
near future. The drilling is scheduled to commence this week.
In preparation for this program, road access to the project area has been upgraded. This program is comprised of six holes of 100 m in length that are already spotted on the ground. The holes are in-fill and step-out holes that will supplement the
results of the previous drilling on the property which is being used to complete the Resource Estimate.
