Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSX.V: LMR) (“Lomiko Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the following corporate update and Fall events and speaking engagements.

Belinda Labatte, CEO and Director stated: “Our team is leading as a people-first company and operator of choice in the development of all our critical minerals opportunities. We recognize that listening to stakeholders and active engagement with First Nations are key priorities to advancing our projects, and we also look forward to sharing the opportunities for development of modern, carbon neutral and environmentally responsible operations. The only way for renewable energy transition to occur is to secure our raw natural resources and develop them responsibly. We are pleased to speak on these subjects at upcoming events and speaking engagements.”

Ms. Labatte continued, “I also want to acknowledge to community members that we hear you. We will continue to respond to all local community residents with questions or concerns and develop a path for further engagement as studies and ideas progress. Lomiko believes in climate success stories and that responsible exploration, development and mining is essential to our renewable energy transition. These conversations, and ultimately agreements, on historical claims will require time, effort and collaborative commitment to evolve. We are pleased to participate as an ECOLOGO certified company to reassure ourselves and others that we maintain the highest standards for critical minerals exploration.

“We are a progressive organization and invite all stakeholders to get involved in the Canadian and Quebec Critical minerals strategy. We will keep providing baseline data to all local residents and all other information as it becomes available, and we have a community page live on the Lomiko website which is fully bilingual.”

Corporate update

Lomiko utilized the funds raised early in the year, including $2.1m in flow-through financing and a $1.5m private placement, to progress work in drilling, metallurgical testing and environmental baseline studies. In addition, geophysical field work for the six new graphite properties is now complete and has identified new targets for future follow-ups. Lomiko has also completed its summer soil and surface field testing program with Critical Elements Lithium Corp. and Gold Spot AI at its Bourier lithium property. These results will be shared when they are available. The Company is actively working to build a pipeline of projects suitable to feed into the critical minerals supply chain and power a transition from fossil fuels to renewables, especially for EV battery systems.
