Great Lakes Graphite Inc. (TSXV:GLK,OTC Pink:GLKIF) announced that commissioning of its Ontario-based Matheson micronization facility has begun.
As quoted in the press release:

An electrical safety inspection was conducted this week on the recently completed work at the Matheson plant. Pursuant to the successful inspection, the Company is now enabled to begin energizing the Facility which will, in turn, enable the company to commission the micronization equipment and prepare for commercial production. All Facility permits are now in place in addition to the human resources necessary to begin operations at the plant.
Upon completion of commissioning, Great Lakes Graphite will begin producing value added micronized natural flake graphite products as well as micronized synthetic graphite products. These products are targeted at a number of industries and markets including grease, lubricating fluids, drilling fluids, brake pads and battery components. Pricing for micronized flake graphite products is anticipated to be in the range of US$2500-3000 per tonne.

Jerry Janik, COO of Great Lakes Graphite, commented:

The work that was recently performed on the building’s electrical systems to enable the restoration of power underwent an inspection earlier this week by the regulatory authority. We have initiated commissioning activities in conjunction with powering up the facility. Over the coming days, we will work together with our partners to confirm that the facility is operating to specification. We will begin scheduling production runs shortly after completion of commissioning.
