FORMER SYRAH GRAPHITE PROCESSING EXPERT SANDIO PEREIRA JOINS LOMIKO BOARD OF ADVISORS
(Vancouver, B.C) May 14, 2019 Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR, LMRMF, FSE: DH8C,
(ISIN: CA54163Q1028) (WKN: A0Q9W7) (LEI: 529900GJP51V4HR9MN94) is pleased to report that
Mr. Sandio Pereira, the former Processing Manager f or the world’s biggest graphite mine, the
Balama Project owned by Syrah Resources of Australia, has joined the Lomiko Board of Advisors
as Lomiko moves toward establishing a Pre-economic Assessment.
“We are very honoured to have Mr. Pereira identify the La Loutre Project as having world class
potential and provide his expertise and contacts to help move the project forward.”, stated A.
Paul Gill, CEO.
Mr. Pereira has recognized North American projects may have good potential based on recent
comments by US Senator Lisa Murkowski in her keynot e address at the Benchmark Minerals
Conference in New York in which she states:
“The significance of foreign oil dependence is wid ely understood, but our foreign mineral dependence is
equally – if not more – serious. Last year [the United States] imported at least 50 percent of 48 minerals,
including 100 percent of 18 of them. That should wo rry everyone, particularly because it is happening at
the same time that demand, for everything from grap hite and lithium to cobalt and nickel, is about to
skyrocket…. I have introduced the American Mineral Security Act, a bipartisan bill that takes a
comprehensive approach to rebuilding our domestic m ineral supply chain. Unless we take significant
steps, we’re at risk of ceding major economic drivers to other countries.”
Mr. Pereira is a Project Manager with a Master’s De gree in Mining, Metallurgical and Materials
Engineering with extensive experience as a Process Engineer. He has over 30 years of experience
in engineering, implementation, commissioning, ramp up, industrial operations, marketing and
product development for mining companies in graphit e including the development of spherical
graphite for application in lithium-ion batteries. Mr. Pereira was a crucial member of the Syrah
team s the company raised $ 150 million to start mo ve the project forward to production and
operation.
Benchmark Minerals will continue with their world tour and the next conference is sold out to the
public but limited media passes are available. Bat tery Megafactories and Battery Materials in
Vancouver, B.C. on May 15, 2019 at the Vancouver Convention Centre 8 am – 5:30 pm.
