Cautionary Note
Forward-­‐looking	
  statements	
  
Certain	
  statements	
  contained	
  herein	
  cons/tute	
  “forward-­‐looking	
  statements.”	
  	
  
Forward-­‐looking	
  statements	
  look	
  into	
  the	
  future	
  and	
  provide	
  an	
  opinion	
  as	
  to	
  the	
  
effect	
  of	
  certain	
  events	
  and	
  trends	
  on	
  the	
  business.	
  	
  Forward-­‐looking	
  statements	
  may	
  
include	
  words	
  such	
  as	
  “plans,”	
  “intends,”	
  an/cipates,”	
  “should,”	
  “es/mates,”	
  
“expects,”	
  “believes,”	
  “indicates,”	
  “targe/ng,”	
  “suggests,”	
  “poten/al,”	
  and	
  similar	
  
expressions.	
  	
  These	
  forward-­‐looking	
  statements	
  are	
  based	
  on	
  current	
  expecta/ons	
  and	
  
entail	
  various	
  risks	
  and	
  uncertain/es.	
  Actual	
  results	
  may	
  materially	
  differ	
  from	
  
expecta/ons,	
  if	
  known	
  and	
  unknown	
  risks	
  or	
  uncertain/es	
  affect	
  our	
  business,	
  or	
  if	
  our	
  
es/mates	
  or	
  assump/ons	
  prove	
  inaccurate.	
  	
  Investors	
  are	
  advised	
  to	
  review	
  the	
  
Company’s	
  Annual	
  Informa/on	
  Form	
  filed	
  at	
  www.sedar.com	
  for	
  a	
  detailed	
  discussion	
  
of	
  investment	
  risks.	
  The	
  Company	
  assumes	
  no	
  obliga/on	
  to	
  update	
  or	
  revise	
  any	
  
forward-­‐looking	
  statement,	
  whether	
  as	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  new	
  informa/on,	
  future	
  events	
  or	
  
any	
  other	
  reason.	
  While	
  Big	
  North	
  intends	
  to	
  re-­‐start	
  the	
  Nuevo	
  San	
  Pedro	
  mine,	
  the	
  
Company	
  has	
  not	
  established	
  mineral	
  resources	
  and	
  has	
  not	
  completed	
  a	
  valid	
  mining	
  
study	
  (as	
  defined	
  by	
  NI	
  43-­‐101)	
  to	
  support	
  a	
  produc/on	
  decision.	
  Historically,	
  a	
  
produc/on	
  decision	
  under	
  these	
  circumstances	
  results	
  in	
  much	
  higher	
  economic	
  or	
  
technical	
  risk.	
  Furthermore,	
  without	
  a	
  pre-­‐	
  feasibility	
  or	
  feasibility	
  study	
  and	
  a	
  graphite	
  
reserve,	
  there	
  can	
  be	
  no	
  assurance	
  that	
  opera/ons	
  at	
  Nuevo	
  San	
  Pedro	
  will	
  be	
  
profitable.

What is Graphite?
•  CriJcal	
  supply	
  industrial	
  mineral	
  
•  One	
  of	
  two	
  natural	
  carbon	
  polymers	
  (diamonds)	
  
•  Light	
  weight	
  with	
  highest	
  natural	
  	
  
strength	
  and	
  sJffness	
  of	
  any	
  material	
  
•  Conductor	
  of	
  heat/electricity	
  
•  Corrosion	
  and	
  heat	
  resistant	
  
•  High	
  natural	
  lubricity

Amorphous Graphite + Uses
•  Amorphous	
  graphite	
  is	
  actually	
  not	
  “amorphous”	
  as	
  all	
  graphite	
  is	
  crystalline.	
  
It	
  is	
  microcrystalline	
  or	
  cryptocrystalline,	
  meaning	
  that	
  the	
  “flake”	
  size	
  is	
  very	
  
small.	
  
•  Amorphous	
  graphite	
  is	
  used	
  in	
  the	
  refractories	
  industry	
  to	
  manufacture	
  
crucibles,	
  ladles,	
  molds,	
  nozzles	
  and	
  troughs	
  that	
  can	
  withstand	
  the	
  very	
  high	
  
temperatures	
  associated	
  with	
  molten	
  metal,	
  parJcularly	
  the	
  casJng	
  of	
  steel.	
  
•  	
  The	
  electrodes	
  used	
  in	
  many	
  electrical	
  metallurgical	
  furnaces,	
  including	
  the	
  
electric	
  arc	
  furnaces	
  used	
  in	
  steel	
  processing,	
  are	
  manufactured	
  from	
  
graphite.	
  In	
  the	
  producJon	
  of	
  steel	
  itself,	
  graphite	
  is	
  used	
  as	
  a	
  carbon	
  raiser	
  
to	
  strengthen	
  steel.	
  It	
  is	
  also	
  used	
  in	
  blast	
  furnace	
  linings	
  for	
  the	
  producJon	
  
of	
  iron	
  because	
  of	
  its	
  high	
  thermal	
  conducJvity.	
  
•  Amorphous	
  or	
  fine-­‐flake	
  graphite	
  is	
  used	
  in	
  brake	
  linings,	
  gaskets	
  and	
  clutch	
  
materials.
