(Vancouver, B.C.) Lomiko Metals
(TSXV: LMR, OTCQB: LMRMF FSE: DH8C) has received welcome news from the
provincial governments of Quebec and B.C. this week just as gas prices
reach all-time highs. With new incentives for the purchase of Electric
Vehicles, it may propel new car buyers to electric vehicles. The B.C.
government is counting on this and will require all new vehicles sold in
the province to be zero-emission by 2040. The plan will be phased in
over time, with new legislation mandating that 10 percent of new
light-duty vehicle sales be zero-emission by 2025 and 30 percent by
2030.
“With
the advent of incentives to purchase Electric Vehicles, and green
project funding in Quebec, Canada will not only meet but exceed carbon
target. Surely, the target of 10% zero-emission vehicles by 2025 can be
acheived.” said A. Paul Gill, CEO of Lomiko Metals Inc.
Zero-emission
versions of top-selling models, like the Ford F-150, are still not
available. There are also concerns about the impact of cold weather on
battery life, the number of charging stations, and the cost of
zero-emission vehicles relative to gas vehicles.

The bulk sampling program is anticipated to be completed by early April 2019
The main purpose of the program is to recover a large sample of graphite to generate graphene product samples for market development purposes
This material will be subsequently purified to 99.8% and ultimately converted to graphene and graphene oxide for continued market development work.

Lomiko Metals Inc. is pleased to report that Mr. Sandio Pereira, the former Processing Manager for 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 keynote address at the Benchmark Minerals Conference in New York in which she states:
“The significance of foreign oil dependence is widely 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 worry
everyone, particularly because it is happening at the same time that
demand, for everything from graphite 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 mineral supply chain.Unless
we take significant steps, we’re at risk of ceding major economic
drivers to other countries.â€
Mr. Pereira is a Project Manager with a Master’s Degree 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 graphite including the development of spherical graphite for application in lithium-ion batteries. Mr. Pereira was a crucial member of the Syrah team as the company raised $150 million to start move 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. Battery Megafactories and Battery Materials in Vancouver, B.C. on May 15, 2019 at the Vancouver Convention Centre 8 am – 5:30 pm.

*Results announced with the April 24, 2019 press release.
On the basis of the available geophysical and 2016 drilling data, the strike length of the mineralization is estimated at 900 m in the NW-SE direction and is open in both directions. A detailed interpretation of the results will be carried out to better estimate the thickness and strike length of the mineralized zone.
The Project consists of contiguous claim blocks totaling 29 km2 situated approximately 53 km E of Imerys Carbon & Graphite, formerly known as the Timcal graphite mine, North America’s only operating graphite mine, and located 117 km NW of Montreal. The mine has reported grades of 7.46% Cg over its 22-year life.
The 2019 exploration program is managed by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d’Or, Quebec, who designed the drilling campaign, supervised the program and logged and sampled the core.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Consul-Teck Exploration implemented QA/QC procedures to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. The drill core was logged and then split, with one half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates and blanks were inserted at a regular interval into the sample stream.
The samples in secure tagged bags were delivered directly to the
analytical facility for analysis. In this case, the analytical facility
was the ALS Minerals laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The
samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. The
samples are crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, then separated and pulverized to
85% passing 75µm. All samples are analyzed for Cg using the C-IR18
method.
Qualified Person
Jean-Sebastien Lavalleìe (OGQ #773), Geologist, is a shareholder of both

The German Aerospace Center (“DLR”) and Kal Tire are pleased to report on their preliminary battery development results at the University of British Columbia
Initial results showed that the addition of 5% ZEN reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) into Carbon Black derived from recycled tires from Kal Tire resulted in a 324% increase in the anode discharge capacity in comparison to the current industry standard anode material
Follow-up research will now focus on optimizing these preliminary results to produce a new environmentally friendly, lower cost and higher capacity anode material.
Thunder Bay, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 11, 2019) – ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN) (“ZEN” or the “Company“)
and its research partners, Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt,
The German Aerospace Center (“DLR”) and Kal Tire are pleased to report
on their preliminary battery development results at the University of
British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, performed by Dr. Lukas Bichler and
his team. Initial results showed that the addition of 5% ZEN reduced
Graphene Oxide (rGO) into Carbon Black derived from recycled tires from
Kal Tire resulted in a 324% increase in the anode discharge capacity in
comparison to the current industry standard anode material, SUPER P
Carbon powder, which is used in numerous battery applications as a
conductive additive.
Follow-up research will now
focus on optimizing these preliminary results to produce a new
environmentally friendly, lower cost and higher capacity anode material.
The Carbon Black material derived from the Kal Tire tires yielded an
anode material with an energy discharge capacity of 115 milliampere
hours per gram (mAh/g), the same as industry standard carbon, Super P.
The addition of 5% rGO from ZEN to the Carbon Black anode material
increased the capacity from 115 mAh/g to 488 mAh/g while a battery
consisting of 100% rGO had a capacity of 840 mAh/g. These results were
presented during a 2 day summit at UBC-O. Future opportunities in next
generation batteries and other applications were discussed between the 3
industrial partners along with the potential for strong collaborations
between the Canadian and European partners. The collaboration also
focuses on international exchange of students and research scientists to
rapidly develop these new battery anode materials.
