("Great Lakes", "GLK" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GLK)(OTC PINK:GLKIF)(FRANKFURT:8GL) today announces that in alignment with the current focus on graphite and the Matheson Micronization Facility, the Company is relinquishing the option agreement with Eloro Resources for the Summit-Gaber property.

The settlement is pending the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
