Wolf Mountain Drilling is the contractor, which is managing the drill program at the property.

The NI-43-101-compliant resource estimate on the property will be completed soon.

Great Lakes Graphite CEO Paul Gorman said: "This drill program will provide important infill exploration data for the resource estimate as well as the feasibility study that is anticipated to follow immediately upon completion of the estimate.

"As each drill hole is completed, the drill core is being transported to our Sudbury core shack. Once there, the core is logged, split and prepared for assay."

The core samples will be analyzed by AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga.

The drill program is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

The Lochaber project is said to comprise 32 mineral claims covering 1,923 hectares in Lochaber Township, and is considered to be prospective for large flake and lump graphite.
