(\"Leading Edge Materials\") or (the Company\") (TSXV:LEM) (OTCQB: LEMIF) is pleased to share the recent findings of an in depth study by the Swedish Agency for Growth Policy Analysis (Tillväxtanalys) on the role Sweden can play in a future supply chain for a range of high value critical raw materials including rare earth elements, lithium, graphite and tungsten.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nLeading Edge Materials holds significant mining and exploration assets for such materials in Sweden, and is presently seeking a Swedish listing on the Nasdaq First North market to allow for an increased focus on the Nordic region (see press release dated 4th October 2017).\n\nThe report, commissioned by the Swedish government and entitled \"Innovation-critical metals & minerals from extraction to final product – how can the state support their development?\" provides a very positive view on the pivotal role Sweden can play a critical raw material supply chain from mining through to recycling.  Release of the report coincided with an event in Stockholm hosted by the Swedish Minister for Enterprise, Mikael Damberg, who emphasized the enviable position of Sweden as an innovative high technology country with a very active resources industry.  \n\nThe Growth Analysis report outlines the future needs for innovation-critical metals and minerals, and provides policy recommendations for the Swedish Government on how to best stimulate the development of an entire Swedish production chain from extraction to finished product.  A copy of the report can be found at http://www.tillvaxtanalys.se/in-english/publications/reports/reports/2017-11-23-innovation-critical-metals--minerals-from-extraction-to-final-product---how-can-the-state-support-their-development.html.  \n\nBlair Way, President and CEO, stated \"W...
