Initial investment required to build the mine and infrastructure: $504.5M
These estimates are based on an average graphite price of US$1,524 per tonne and an exchange rate of CAD$1 = US$0.70
The company also holds interests in seven early-stage exploration projects in southern Quebec, the Laurentians, and the KZA territory: Ruisseau, Tremblant, Meloche, Boyd, Dieppe, North Low, and Carmin. These represent:
In the region, the highest graphite grades are generally associated with geological contacts between marble and paragneiss or quartzite. Disseminated mineralization of large flake graphite is present in several locations within the Grenville Province metamorphic belt, which extends from Quebec to southeastern Ontario.
The presence of this mineralization in the region creates potential for the future development of responsible mining activities with low environmental impact.
Lomiko Metals has identified grades of up to 27.9% graphitic carbon (Cg) on its early-stage projects in the Laurentians. This work has notably led to the discovery of four new mineralized zones on the Ruisseau project, extending over 3 km.
The spring 2025 field program confirmed the continuity of the two western zones. One of them has expanded considerably, increasing from 1,480 m in 2024 to approximately 3,850 m.
These results led to the development of a new exploration program, comprising 38 boreholes:
Additional REE analysis on 32 samples from the Phase II soil sampling program at the Yellow Fox Property. Recent success from the 2025 Phase II soil sampling program resulted in the identification of new REE anomalies (Cerium (Ce) and Lanthanum (La)). These positive results led to re-running seven samples with a rare-earth ICP package, yielding highly anomalous Light Rare Earth Element (LREE) and Heavy Rare Earth Element (HREE) assays hosted within the Mount Peyton Intrusion. This new REE discovery prompted the submission of 32 additional samples for REE analysis, which will serve as the basis for this release.
Highlights:
Previous trenches had samples reaching up to 59.43 g/t of gold (Au), 11.10% of antimony (Sb), 7.00% of zinc (Zn), 72.90 g/t of silver (Ag) and 5.50% of lead (Pb), in arsenopyrite-stibnite veins within an altered monzogranite.
