Government Support for Critical Minerals Supply Chain Development

Lomiko has been monitoring emerging legislation aimed at reducing dependence on Chinese supply of graphite, lithium and other electric vehicle battery materials.  100% of graphite is currently imported to the United States as there is no domestic graphite mines able to produce material for graphite anodes used in Electric Vehicles.  Please also refer to news release September 9, 2020 and October, 7 2020 related to changing government policies regarding critical minerals.

US Election Bonus for Critical Minerals Companies 

In a boon for the critical minerals mining industry, President-elect Joe Biden’s committed to a historic investment in clean energy and innovation, developing rigorous new fuel economy standards aimed at ensuring 100% of new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be zero emissions and annual improvements for heavy duty vehicles.

Biden will invest $400 billion over ten years, as one part of a broad mobilization of public investment, in clean energy and innovation.  The funds will accelerate the deployment of clean technology throughout the US with a target of reducing the carbon footprint of the U.S. building stock 50% by 2035.  The new government will work with governors and mayors to support the deployment of more than 500,000 new public charging outlets by the end of 2030.

Lomiko’s Opportunity in the Critical Minerals Supply Chain

Graphite demand is expected to increase exponentially for natural graphite material, as more is used in the production of spherical graphite for graphite anodes of Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion batteries.

With a completion of $ 750,000 financing October 23, 2020, and a further $985,000 completed December 22, 2020, Lomiko plans to work on its near-term goals of the company are as follows:

1) Complete 100% Acquisition of the La Loutre Property, currently 80% owned by Lomiko Metals.

2) Complete metallurgy and graphite characterization to confirm li-ion anode grade material.

3) Complete a Technical Report to confirm the extent of the mineralization equals or surpasses the nearby Imerys Mine, owned by international mining conglomerate.

A “technical report” means a report prepared and filed in accordance with this Instrument and Form 43-101F1 Technical Report, and includes, in summary form, all material scientific and technical information in respect of the subject property as of the effective date of the technical report;

4) Complete Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)

A PEA means a study, other than a pre-feasibility or feasibility study, that includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of mineral resources.
