Northern Graphite Corporation's planned Q3 restart of mining at its Lac des Iles mine in Quebec is delayed due to a dispute over mining lease suspension related to financial guarantees, financial constraints, and weak market demand. The company received authorization to expand the mine pit but faces a suspension notice from Quebec's resource ministry over a $1.8 million increase in restoration financial guarantees, which Northern disputes and plans to contest in court.

Northern continues to seek resolution and will update as developments occur.
