In connection with the increase in the area covered by the Company's claims, the Company has paid $50,000 and issued 100,000 common shares of the Company to the previous holder of the adjoining claims in order to settle litigation proceedings challenging the Minister's increase in the area of the Company's claims.

About Northern Graphite

Northern is a Canadian, TSX-V listed company that is focussed on becoming a world leader in producing natural graphite and upgrading it into high value products critical to the green economy including anode material for lithium ion batteries/EVs, fuel cells and graphene, as well as advanced industrial technologies.

Northern is the only significant graphite producing company in North America and will become the third largest outside of China when its Namibian operations come back online in 2024. The Company also has two large scale development projects, Bissett Creek in Ontario and Okanjande in Namibia, that will be a source of continued production growth in the future. All projects have "battery quality" graphite and are located close to infrastructure in politically stable countries.

EV makers have struck deals with lithium juniors in the past year, with graphite not receiving as much attention. Will this change?

US electric vehicle pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has inked a graphite supply deal with Australia’s Magnis Energy (ASX:MNS), as carmakers continue to look for ways to secure battery metals output to meet their targets.

The deal between Tesla and Magnis is only the second one signed for graphite production with a mining company. The first one also involved the Elon Musk led company, which secured supply from Syrah Resources (ASX:SYR) at the end of 2021. Syrah operates the Balama project in Mozambique and its Vidalia processing plant in Louisiana.

I am a shareholder now, so let the price rise

Up a couple pennies, looks like the bottom could be in

I bought some more stock as well. Here is an interesting article

"If we want to produce more batteries domestically, we're going to need to increase our production of graphite," said Northwestern University chemical engineer Jennifer Dunn. "But the question is, how can we do so in a way that contributes to decarbonization goals?"

Dunn is an associate professor of chemical and biological engineering at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and director of the Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience. The paper was co-authored by Jinrui Zhang, who at the time of the study initiation was a post-doctoral scholar in chemical and biological engineering; and Chao Liang, previously a member of Northwestern's Institute for Sustainability and Energy (ISEN). Both co-authors are alumni of Dunn's research group.

The U.S. uses mostly synthetic graphite, which is produced from by-products of the fossil fuel industry and creates a paradoxical relationship between graphite and technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) that aim to remove fossil fuel supply chains from transportation and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

This was a very important news release IMO

Mr. Hugues Jacquemin reports

NORTHERN GRAPHITE SIGNS AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN NEOGRAF SOLUTIONS

Northern Graphite Corp. has entered into an agreement with Edgewater Capital Partners to acquire an ownership interest in NeoGraf Solutions LLC. NeoGraf is a leading provider of specialty, value-added products manufactured from natural graphite and has a strong intellectual property portfolio and a blue-chip customer base. NeoGraf is one of Northern's largest customers. This investment will enable Northern to integrate downstream into the manufacturing of graphite products for a number of high-growth markets, including lithium-ion batteries/electric vehicles, fuel cells, graphene and nanomaterials, thermal management in consumer electronics, smart building products, and fire retardants.

Under the terms of the agreement, Northern has a six-month option to acquire an effective 50.1-per-cent voting interest and a 33.3-per-cent equity interest in NeoGraf and also has an option to increase its interest up to 100 per cent at a later date, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. Northern has engaged Sprott Capital Partners LP to act as its financial adviser with respect to financing the investment. Closing of Northern's investment is subject to the execution of definitive agreements, the receipt of all required third party and regulatory approvals, including, if applicable, approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and to Northern completing satisfactory financing arrangements.

Hugues Jacquemin, Northern's chief executive officer, commented, "The NeoGraf transaction is a major step toward integrating downstream to capture a greater share of the value chain and creating an industry-leading mine-to-market natural graphite company with the ambition to produce low-carbon footprint products." He added: "We are very pleased to be partnering with Edgewater, which will enable us to complete the transaction in a very capital-efficient manner. The combination of Edgewater's performance materials expertise and our knowledge of the graphite industry will help enable NeoGraf to achieve its full growth potential."

"We are very excited to partner with Hugues and the Northern team," commented Robert Girton, a partner at Edgewater. "Their investment in NeoGraf clearly demonstrates their mine-to-market strategy and enhances the security of supply and value that NeoGraf provides to its blue-chip customer base. Further, the collaboration between the organizations will serve to accelerate and expand the breadth of unique solutions, which ultimately enable our customers' commercial success."

Drew Walker, chief executive officer of Neograf, commented: "Similar to NeoGraf, Northern is a noted thought leader in the worldwide graphite industry, an industry which sits at the centre of several megatrends that will drive outsized growth opportunities for our products. Together, Northern and NeoGraf will be a powerful combination in the development of high performance technical solutions that address our customer's application-specific needs. Additionally, Northern provides NeoGraf with greater security of supply and expands the geographic regions from which we source our graphite. This will be a key advantage as we execute our shared vision for growth."

Great report by RonS, sooner or later the EV market and investors will put more emphasis on graphite. I bought a decent position in this one

I sold my position when it ran to $0.65 and bought back yesterday

Gambler, I am with you and added more today as well. The stock should be a lot higher

Nice report by Struthers. I added some to my position today. I really like the chart set up and buying way lower than Sprott
