Great Lakes Graphite Announces La Grande Nord Amendment

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 8, 2014) - Great Lakes Graphite Inc. (TSXV: GLK) ("Great Lakes" or the "Company") announces that the existing Agreement between Great Lakes and Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ELO) ("Eloro") with regard to La Grande Nord Property (the Summit-Gaber property) located in the Baie James region of Québec has been amended. This amendment allows Great Lakes to extend, by one year, the dates for work commitments and remaining payments under the terms of the original agreement and its first amendment. As consideration for the extensions granted by Eloro, Great Lakes has agreed to issue an additional 200,000 common shares to Eloro, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

La Grande Nord Property has historically been the focus of base and precious-metal exploration; however, the presence of mineralization characteristic of cobalt-nickel-silver ("Cobalt-style") deposits has also been noted. The potential for cobalt mineralization is of great exploration interest to the Company.

John M. Siriunas, P.Eng, VP of Exploration for the Company and a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.
