Northern Graphite Engages Strategic Advisor
Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2019) -
Northern Graphite Corporation
(TSXV: NGC) (OTCQX: NGPHF)
(the
"Company") announces that it has engaged Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. ("RCKS") to act as its strategic and financial
advisor.
RCKS will assist the Company in evaluating and pursuing alternatives for maximizing shareholder value including
identifying potential sources of financing and/or corporate partners needed to move the Bissett Creek graphite project forward.
Gregory Bowes, CEO, commented that: "While the supply/demand outlook for graphite is compelling and the Bissett Creek
project has good economics even at currently depressed prices, investor interest in the sector has been low for some time which
has severely impacted the Company's valuation.
The experience and expertise of RCKS will greatly assist the Company in
evaluating strategic options for maximizing shareholder value given the current environment."
About Northern Graphite
Northern Graphite is a Canadian development company with a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek graphite deposit which is
