LOMIKO METALS INC.: DRILLING BEGINS AT THE LA LOUTRE CRYSTALLINE FLAKE GRAPHITE PROPERTY

Lomiko Metals Inc. and Canada Strategic Metals Inc. have commenced drilling at the La Loutre crystalline flake graphite property.

Lomiko will earn a 40-per-cent interest in the La Loutre crystalline flake graphite property, which is located in Quebec near the now operating Timcal graphite mine, by spending $500,000 in exploration work on the project. The goal of the exploration program is to identify high-grade, near-surface graphite mineralization to rapidly build a resource at the La Loutre project suitable for conversion to battery-grade graphite.
