Strategic Alliance with End User of Graphite
Lomiko Metals Inc. has signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Graphene Labs of New York. The purpose of the Strategic Alliance is to develop vertically-integrated businesses within the graphene space. Lomiko has provided samples of graphite from its Quatre Milles location to test for graphite to graphene conversion
Graphene Labs owns the online store Graphene Supermarket and has over 4000 customers from universities such as MIT, Stonybrook government agencies such as NASA, Brookhaven National Laboratories and the US Army, and Fortune 500 companies such as Sony, Ford, and Samsung that have purchased graphene or graphite products.
Lomiko has the exclusive right to earn and equity position in Graphene Labs through investing $2million over 2 years.
High Carbon Purity Results
High Grade, Near Surface Results at Quatre Milles Property
The Quatre Milles East Property is road accessible and is located approximately 175 km northwest of Montreal and 17 km due north of the village of Sainte-Veronique, Quebec. The company was very pleased with the drill results, which show high grade intercepts of graphite of high carbon purity at or near surface making it a low cost development scenario.

Complete Quatre Milles Drill Results
The property was originally staked and explored by Graphicor Resources Inc. ("Graphicor") in the summer of 1989 based on the results of a regional helicopter-borne EM survey. 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. Lomiko recently optioned the Quatre Milles West Property, a 2180 Ha Property with similar geology. Combined, the Quatre Milles Property is 3,780 Ha.
Graphite Market
Global consumption of natural graphite has increased from approximately 600,000 tonnes in 2000 to roughly 1.2 million tonnes in 2011. Demand for graphite has been increasing by approximately 5 per cent per year since 2000 due to the continuing modernization of China, India and other emerging economies, resulting in strong demand from traditional end uses such as the steel and automotive industries. Graphite also has many important new applications such as lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and nuclear and solar power that have the potential to create significant incremental demand growth. There is roughly 10-20 times more graphite in a lithium-ion battery than there is lithium. Demand for graphite is expected to rise as electric vehicles and lithium battery technology are adopted.
Natural graphite comes in several forms: flake, amorphous and lump. Of the 1.2 million tonnes of graphite produced annually, approximately 40 per cent is of the most desirable flake type. China, which produces about 70 per cent of the world's graphite, is seeing production and export growth leveling, and export taxes and a licensing system have been instituted. A recent European Commission study regarding the criticality of 41 different materials to the European economy included graphite among the 14 materials high in both economic importance and supply risk (Critical Raw Materials for the EU, July 2010).
Graphite prices have been increasing in recent months and over the last couple of years prices for large flake, high purity graphite (+80 mesh, 94-97%C) have more than doubled. Other public companies developing graphite projects in Canada include Northern Graphite Corp. with its Bissett Creek project in Ontario and Focus Metals Inc. with its Lac Knife project in Quebec. High-growth, high-value graphite applications require large-flake and high-purity graphite, which is the prime exploration and development target at the Quatre Milles Property.

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.
After graduating in 1961, Dietmar Siebholz trained to become a banker and successfully completed his training with honors in Berlin. Subsequently, his passion for the stock market led him to the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange as an assistant broker. After obtaining a degree in economics and working as head investment advisor for a bank, Dietmar joined forces with a partner to establish a fund development agency for real estate . In 1979, a leading real estate fund company appointed him as managing director. In 1983, he started working independently as a developer and manager of real estate funds. During the course of his professional career, Dietmar has developed real estate funds with an investment volume of more than 700 million Euros, some of which he still managed until mid-2009. Since 1993, he has been deeply involved in precious metals as well as other commodities. Through his commentary, he is now known to a large number of participants in the resource sector. Since 2003, he has been a German representative of GATA and since the beginning of 2007 he has been on the advisory board of a fund development company specializing in commodities.
After selling a number of real estate funds liquidating his equity invested therein and transferring his fund management company to a younger successor, he has devoted his attention even more to the issues of money, currency stability and commodities, precious metals and optimizing investment portfolios. At the age of 64 he continued his studies and finally achieved his goal of obtaining his PhD in economics.
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.
