(TSX.V: LMR) (“Lomiko Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that as of May 17, 2022 it has started an infill and extension drill program at its wholly-owned La Loutre graphite project, located approximately 180 kilometers northwest of Montréal in the Laurentian region of Québec. The program anticipates approximately 18,000 meters in 120 holes to be drilled at the “Electric Vehicle” or “EV” and the Battery zones. Please refer to Figure 1 for details.
