Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR,
OTCQB: LMRMF,
FSE: DH8C, (ISIN: CA54163Q1028) (WKN: A0Q9W7) (LEI:
529900GJP51V4HR9MN94) 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.”
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.
