Lomiko Metals Announces Closing of the Second Tranche of the Hard Dollar Financing and First Tranche of Flow-Through Financing and Extension of the Flow-Through Financing
MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSX.V: LMR) ('Lomiko' or the 'Company') announces that it will apply to the TSX Venture Exchange ('TSXV') for approval to close the second tranche of the hard dollar financing and a first tranche of the flow-through financing for $113,500 and $109,999.86 respectively. The Company anticipates to issue (1) 840,741 common shares at $0.135 along with a warrant exerciseable for three years at $0.20 for gross proceeds of $113,500; and (2) 647,058 flow-through common shares at $0.17 with a warrant exerciseable for two years at $0.20 for gross proceeds of $109,999.86. A cash finder's fee of 5% or $10,675 has been agreed to be paid. All securities issued shall be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance. Completion of the financing and the issuance of the securities remain subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the hard dollar financing to continue the engineering phase of the prefeasibility study of the La Loutre graphite project, progressing with the bulk sample and anode piloting at the La Loutre project, explore the Company's Yellow Fox property, regional graphite exploration, and general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of flow-through common shares will be used to incur resource exploration expenses, which will constitute 'Canadian exploration expenses' as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and 'flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures' as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (the 'Qualifying Expenditures'), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026 and will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025 to the subscribers of flow-through common shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the flow-through common shares. For subscribers of flow-through common shares that are residents of Québec at all relevant times, the Qualifying Expenditures shall qualify for inclusion in the 'exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses' within the meaning of section 726.4.10 of the Taxation Act (Québec) and expenses qualifying for inclusion in the 'exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining expenses or oil and gas exploration expenses within the meaning of section 726.4.17.2 of the Taxation Act (Québec). Gordana Slepcev, CEO, President, and Director, stated: 'We are pleased to close the second tranche of the private placement as we have achieved our current funding goals. The hard dollars will be used to continue the pre-feasibility level of the engineering studies and for the independent road access study for the La Loutre natural flake graphite deposit. The proceeds from the flow-through financing will support other strategic initiatives, including the bulk sample and anode piloting at the La Loutre project, exploring the Company's Yellow Fox property, regional graphite exploration, and work related to permitting.' The Company further advises that it will seek approval of the TSX-V for a second extension to the closing of a 2 nd flow-through tranche to June 30, 2025, details of which are disclosed in the Company's original press release dated April 1, 2025. About Lomiko Metals Inc. The Company holds mineral interests in its La Loutre graphite development in southern Quebec. The La Loutre project site is within the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) First Nation's territory. The KZA First Nation is part of the Algonquin Nation, and the KZA traditional territory is situated within the Outaouais and Laurentides regions. Located 180 kilometers northwest of Montreal, the property consists of one large, continuous block with 76 mineral claims totaling 4,528 hectares (45.3 km2). The Property is underlain by rocks from the Grenville Province of the Precambrian Canadian Shield. The Grenville was formed under conditions that were very favorable for the development of coarse-grained, flake-type graphite mineralization from organic-rich material during high-temperature metamorphism. Lomiko Metals published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in a NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the La Loutre Project, Quebec, Canada, prepared by InnovExplo on May 11th, 2023, which estimated 64.7 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources averaging 4.59% Cg per tonne for 3.0 million tonnes of graphite, a tonnage increase of 184%. Indicated Mineral Resources increased by 41.5 million tonnes as a result of the 2022 drilling campaign, from 17.5 million tonnes in 2021 MRE with additional Mineral resources reported down-dip and within marble units resulted in the addition of 17.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources averaging 3.51% Cg per tonne for 0.65 million tonnes of contained graphite; and the additional 13,107 metres of infill drilling in 79 holes completed in 2022 combined with the refinement of the deposit and structural models contributed to the addition of most of the Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource category, relative to the 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate. The MRE assumes a US$1,098.07 per tonne graphite price and a cut-off grade of 1.50% Cg (graphitic carbon). The independent and qualified persons for the mineral resource estimate, as defined by NI 43 101, are Marina Iund, (InnovExplo Inc.), Martin Perron, (InnovExplo Inc.)., Simon Boudreau, (InnovExplo Inc.). and Pierre Roy, (Soutex Inc.). The effective date of the estimate is May 11, 2023. The Company also holds interest in seven early-stage projects in southern Quebec, including Ruisseau, Tremblant, Meloche, Boyd, Dieppe, North Low and Carmin, covering 328 claims in total on 7 early-stage projects covering 18,622 hectares in the Laurentian region of Quebec and within KZA territory. The stage graphite portfolio consists of 328 claims in total on seven early-stage projects covering 18,622 hectares in southern Quebec. The grades presented below for the Laurentides graphite portfolio were press-released on January 7 th, 2025. ( • Ruisseau–grades up to 27.9 percent carbon graphite ('% Cg') from four distinct high grade mineralized zones that are over 3km long; • Meloche –grades up to 13.3% Cg from two distinct mineralized clusters; • Tremblant –grades up to 11.6% Cg from numerous, widespread spot anomalies; and • Dieppe –grades up to 6.82% Cg from numerous, widespread spot anomalies and a distinct mineralized cluster. • Boyd–8 samples grades range from 5.61% Cg to 17.10 %Cg with all samples above 5.00% Cg. The technical content regarding the exploration results presented was reviewed by Mark Fekete, who acts as an independent consultant to the Company and is the Qualified Person. In addition to La Loutre, Lomiko has earned a 49% stake in the Bourier Project from Critical Elements Lithium Corporation as per the option agreement announced on April 27 th, 2021. The Bourier project site is located near Nemaska Lithium and Critical Elements south-east of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory in Quebec, which consists of 203 claims for a total ground position of 10,252.20 hectares (102.52 km2), in Canada's lithium triangle near the James Bay region of Quebec that has historically housed lithium deposits and mineralization trends. The Yellow Fox Property is located approximately 10 km southwest of the Town of Glenwood NL, and south of the Trans-Canada Highway. The Property occurs within NTS map sheets 02D/14 and 15 with excellent access along several logging and skidder roads originating from Glenwood. The main Yellow Fox showing is located in the central part of License 027536M, 5km from the western end of Gander Lake. This property is on the same trend as the past-producing antimony mine Beaver Brook, which is located 25km southwest of the property. Yellow Fox is an early-stage exploration property prospective in antimony, gold, and silver where historic works returned samples anomalous in gold (Au), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and silver (Ag). The trenching exposed the rocks, resulting in grab samples to 59.43g/t Au, 11.10% Sb, 7.00% Zn, 72.90g/t Ag, and 5.50% Pb in arsenopyrite-stibnite veins within altered monzogranite.

Article content The Property is underlain by rocks from the Grenville Province of the Precambrian Canadian Shield. The Grenville was formed under conditions that were very favorable for the development of coarse-grained, flake-type graphite mineralization from organic-rich material during high-temperature metamorphism. Article content Lomiko Metals published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in a NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the La Loutre Project, Quebec, Canada, prepared by InnovExplo on May 11th, 2023, which estimated 64.7 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources averaging 4.59% Cg per tonne for 3.0 million tonnes of graphite, a tonnage increase of 184%. Indicated Mineral Resources increased by 41.5 million tonnes as a result of the 2022 drilling campaign, from 17.5 million tonnes in 2021 MRE with additional Mineral resources reported down-dip and within marble units resulted in the addition of 17.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources averaging 3.51% Cg per tonne for 0.65 million tonnes of contained graphite; and the additional 13,107 metres of infill drilling in 79 holes completed in 2022 combined with the refinement of the deposit and structural models contributed to the addition of most of the Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource category, relative to the 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate. The MRE assumes a US$1,098.07 per tonne graphite price and a cut-off grade of 1.50% Cg (graphitic carbon). The independent and qualified persons for the mineral resource estimate, as defined by NI 43 101, are Marina Iund, (InnovExplo Inc.), Martin Perron, (InnovExplo Inc.)., Simon Boudreau, (InnovExplo Inc.). and Pierre Roy, (Soutex Inc.).
