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 s 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

public but limited media passes are available. Battery Megafactories
