MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSX.V: LMR) (“Lomiko” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of a non-brokered private placement for $300,000 (the “Offering”) of flow-through eligible funds. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company has issued 2,500,000 flow-through common shares (each an “FT Share”) at $0.12 per FT Share for gross proceeds of $300,000.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid cash finder’s fees of $21,000 and issued common share purchase finder’s warrants (each, a “Finder’s Warrant”) equal to 7% of the issued FT Shares, for a total of 175,000 Finder’s Warrants. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) common share of the Company at a price of $0.12 for a period of two (2) years. All securities issued shall be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance.

Gordana Slepcev, CEO, President, and Director, stated: “The proceeds from this flow-through financing will be used for strategic initiatives, such as the bulk sample and anode piloting at the La Loutre project, regional graphite exploration in Quebec, and exploring the Company’s Yellow Fox property antimony-gold prospect in Newfoundland.”

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).

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 (MRI) averaging 4.59% Cg per tonne for 3.0 million tonnes of graphite with additional MRI of 17.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources averaging 3.51% Cg per tonne for 0.65 million tonnes of contained graphite. 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 400 claims in total on 7 early-stage projects covering 22,845 hectares in the Laurentian region of Quebec and within KZA territory.

The Yellow Fox 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 monzogranite.
