“Company”) announces that it will apply to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) for approval to
close the first tranche of the hard dollar financing for total proceeds of $ 650,000.
The Company anticipates issuing 6,500,000 common shares at $0.10, along with a half warrant
exercisable for three years at $0.15.
All securities issued shall be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their
date of issuance. Completion of the financing and issuance of the securities remains subject to
receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval from the TSXV.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the hard dollar financing to continue the
engineering phase of the prefeasibility study for the La Loutre graphite project, including progress
with bulk sample and anode piloting at the La Loutre project, as well as for general working capital
purposes.
Gordana Slepcev, CEO, President, and Director, stated: “We are pleased to close the first tranche
of the private placement and deploy the funds raised to develop and engineer La Loutre natural
flake graphite project to meet the best industry standards. The gross proceeds of the Offering will
be allocated to the pre-feasibility study completion, baseline studies, consultations, and Company
working capital.”
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 an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in a NI 43-101 Technical
Report and Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the La Loutre Project, Quebec, Canada,
prepared by InnovExplo on May 11th, 2023, 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 structural 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). The independent and qualified persons for the mineral
resource estimate, as defined by NI 43 101, are Marina Iund, P.Geo. (InnovExplo Inc.), Martin
Perron, P.Eng. (InnovExplo Inc.)., Simon Boudreau, P.Eng. (InnovExplo Inc.). and Pierre Roy,
P.Eng. (Soutex Inc.). The effective date of the estimate is May 11, 2023.
The Company also holds interest in seven early -stage projects in southern Quebec, including
Ruisseau, Tremblant, Meloche, Boyd, Dieppe, North Low and Carmin, covering 328 claims in
total on 7 early- stage projects covering 18,622 hectares in the Laurentian region of Quebec and
within KZA territory.
The stage graphite portfolio consists of 328 claims in total on seven early-stage projects covering
18,622 hectares in southern Quebec. The grades presented below for the Laurentides graphite
portfolio were press -released on January 7 th, 2025. ( https://lomiko.com/news/lomiko-metals-

• Ruisseau –grades up to 27.9 percent carbon graphite (“% Cg”) from four distinct high grade
mineralized zones that are over 3km long;
• Meloche –grades up to 13.3% Cg from two distinct mineralized clusters;
• Tremblant –grades up to 11.6% Cg from numerous, widespread spot anomalies; and
• Dieppe –grades up to 6.82% Cg from numerous, widespread spot anomalies and a distinct
mineralized cluster.
• Boyd–8 samples grades range from 5.61% Cg to 17.10 %Cg with all samples above 5.00% Cg.

P.Geo. who acts as an independent consultant to the Company and is the Qualified Person.
In addition to La Loutre, Lomiko has earned a 49% stake in the Bourier Project from Critical
Elements Lithium Corporation as per the option agreement announced on April 27 th, 2021. The
Bourier 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 triangle near the James Bay region of
Quebec that has historically housed lithium deposits and mineralization trends.
The Yellow Fox Property is located approximately 10 km southwest of the Town of Glenwood
NL, and south of the Trans -Canada Highway. The property is located within NTS map sheets
02D/14 and 15, offering excellent access along several logging and skidder roads that originate
from Glenwood. The main Yellow Fox showing is located in the central part of License 027536M,
5km from the western end of Gander Lake.
This property is on the same trend as the past -producing antimony mine Beaver Brook, which is
located 25km southwest of the property. Yellow Fox is an early- stage exploration property
prospective in antimony, gold, and silver where historic works returned samples anomalous in gold
(Au), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and silver (Ag). The trenching exposed the rocks,
resulting in grab samples to 59.43g/t Au, 11.10% Sb, 7.00% Zn, 72.90g/t Ag, and 5.50% Pb in
arsenopyrite-stibnite veins within altered mo nzogranite. (See Metals Creek assessment report at
