Paul Gill, CEO of Lomiko Metals \n(TSXV: LMR) (OTCQX: LMRMF) ('Lomiko') on how Lomiko is establishing a foothold in graphene industry and evolving \ninterest in 3D printing supplies. On April 24th Lomiko was pleased to announce that they had started to trade on the OTCQX exchange, which, as Paul comments, will enable U.S. investors, excited by graphite's potential, to have a better trading \nexperience. Paul said that he expects to be taking Lomiko on a road show visiting various communities in Phoenix, Las Vegas, New York, Atlanta and \"we think it will certainly bring a fresh life to Lomiko.\" \n\nTracy points out that Lomiko recently converted preferred shares into 'Graphene 3D Lab'.

It is 200 times stronger than steel; it is flexible, conductive and semi-transparent.\" Lomiko \nhas been developing its graphite properties in Quebec \"and looking for end users for the material we were taking out of the ground and we have sent graphite samples to a lab in New York, 'Graphene Labs', and they were able to \nconvert that material into graphene and always and all of a sudden we have a whole new industry popping out of the ground.\" Moreover, Paul believes that \"copper is going to wane and graphite is going to take over as a material that can \nbe...
