Lomiko Metals – Exploring for Graphite in Quebec

Lomiko Metals.

OVERVIEW

Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSXV:LMR) is a Vancouver, British Columbia based exploration company focused on graphite. In May 2012, the company acquired 100 percent interest in the Quatre Milles Graphite Property.
Lomiko Metals plans to mount an aggressive exploration campaign in 2012 on the Quatre Milles Graphite Property commencing with a complete compilation of historic geological work followed by surface mapping, prospecting and follow-up diamond drilling. Exploration programs for both properties are planned for the summer of 2012 and coincide with increased interest and demand for graphite.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Existing infrastructure: Quatre Milles Project is accessible by paved road and close to Montreal
  • 100% owned graphite property in good jurisdiction (Quebec)
  • Historical drill results show 8% graphite over 28.6m
  • Fully financed for Phase I drilling of 15-20 holes to confirm historic drilling
  • 23 of 26 historic holes drilled show graphite grades at 4.69% or better
  • Experienced executive team

KEY PROJECT

Quatre Milles Graphite Property

The Quatre Milles Graphite Property is located 175 km northwest of Montreal and 17 km north of the town of Sainte-Véronique. The property is accessible by highway and is composed of twenty-eight contiguous mining claims totaling approximately 3,780 hectares and covering two separate claim blocks; one 8 km by 7 km, and the other 7 km by 5 km. The underlying geology consists of intercalated biotite gneiss, biotite feldspar gneiss, marble, quartzite and calc-silicate lithologies of the Central Metasedimentary belt of the Grenville province.

The property was originally staked and explored by Graphicor Resources Inc. during the summer of 1989 based on the results of a regional helicopter-borne EM survey. Graphicor completed reconnaissance mapping, prospecting, ground geophysics as well as a twenty-six hole diamond drill program totaling 1,625 metres.
Graphicor Resources identified several conductive trends in the central portion of the property and at least three, relatively flat lying graphitic beds. Three surface samples were collected and analyzed returning results of 14.16 percent Cgf (graphite), 18.06 percent Cgf and 20.35 percent Cgf. Twenty-three of the initial 26 drill holes intersected graphite concentrations with a highlight of 8.07 per cent Cgf over 28.60 metres in hole Q90-7. The highest individual assay was reported in hole Q90-10, which returned 15.48 percent Cgf over 0.50 metres.
Lomiko Metals is currently planning an exploration program for the Quatre Milles Property including mapping, prospecting and diamond drilling to test and confirm the areas of historical high-grade graphite intersected previously by Graphicor Resources Inc. on the property.

SUMMARY

Based on the historical data from the work completed by Graphicor in the 90’s on the Quatre Milles Graphite Property and given the increasing global demand for graphite, Lomiko Metals is moving forward with its goal to complete both Phase I & II and establish a flake graphite resource at the property by December 2012.

Dr. Dietmar Siebholz, Advisory Board member
Dr. Siebholz has been researching graphite and graphene developments in Europe and is a significant shareholder of Lomiko. In the spring of 2010, Dr. Siebholz added graphite to the list of minerals he favours for investment. In his opinion, graphite is the technology mineral of the future that should replace common technology resources – at least partially – within the next ten years.
Dr. Siebholz has devoted his attention to the issues of money, currency stability and commodities, precious metals and optimizing investment portfolios. As a result of the development of technologies and the receipt of patents financed by himself and his family, he was offered consulting agreements in 2009. Pursuant to the agreements, he was to prepare the application of pump systems developed by his company for open pit mining in rainy countries (including Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Paraguay) and to start the corresponding application-oriented production of these pump systems.
His current technological interest focuses on the advancement of a revolutionary cooling system and the application of graphite in high-tech developments. However, he remains loyal to his favorites: gold (as currency secured by substance since 1998), silver (as currency secured by substance and technology metal since 2001), rare earths (as technology metals since 2005) as long as there is a trend to expanding high-tech applications. Since 2008, graphite has become an investment focus.
Mr. Kumara Rachamalla, M.B.A,M.Eng., P.Eng., Advisory Board member
