About Lomiko Metals Inc.
The Company holds mineral interests in its La Loutre graphite development in southern Quebec.
The La Loutre project site is within the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) First Nation ’s territory.
The KZA First Nation is part of the Algonquin Nation, and the KZA traditional territory is situated
within the Outaouais and Laurentides regions. Located 180 kilometers northwest of Montreal, the
property consists of one large, continuous block with 76 mineral claims totaling 4,528 hectares
(45.3 km2).
The Property is underlain by rocks from the Grenville Province of the Precambrian Canadian
Shield. The Grenville was formed under conditions that were very favorable for the development
of coarse -grained, flake -type graphite mineralization from organic -rich material during high-
temperature metamorphism.
Lomiko Metals published April 13, 2023 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) which
estimated 64.7 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources averaging 4.59% Cg per tonne for
3.0 million tonnes of graphite, a tonnage increase of 184%. Indicated Mineral Resources increased
by 41.5 million tonnes as a result of the 2022 drilling campaign, from 17.5 million tonnes in 2021
MRE with additional Mineral resources reported down-dip and within marble units resulted in the
addition of 17.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources averaging 3.51% Cg per tonne for
0.65 million tonnes of contained graphite; and the additional 13,107 metres of infill drilling in 79
holes completed in 2022 combined with the refinement of the deposit and struc tural models
contributed to the addition of most of the Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral
Resource category, relative to the 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate. The MRE assumes a
US$1,098.07 per tonne graphite price and a cut-off grade of 1.50%Cg (graphitic carbon).
In addition to La Loutre, Lomiko is working with Critical Elements Lithium Corporation towards
earning its 49% stake in the Bourier Project as per the option agreement announced on April 27th,
2021. The B ourier project site is located near Nemaska Lithium and Critical Elements south -east
of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory in Quebec which consists of 203 claims, for a total ground
position of 10,252.20 hectares (102.52 km2), in Canada’s lithium tria ngle near the James Bay
region of Quebec that has historically housed lithium deposits and mineralization trends.
On behalf of the Board,
