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.
Benchmark Minerals will continue with their world tour and the
next conference is sold out to the public but limited media passes
are available. Battery Megafactories and Battery Materials in
Vancouver, B.C. on May 15, 2019 at the Vancouver Convention Centre
8 am – 5:30 pm.
