Lomiko is a responsible operator of choice in the energy transition economy; a leader with exploration and development assets in graphite and lithium in Quebec, Canada. Our mission is to create a new energy future in Canada where we will grow the critical minerals workforce, become a valued partner and neighbour with the communities in which we operate, and provide a secure and responsibly sourced supply of critical minerals. Natural flake graphite extracted from Lomiko’s La Loutre project site may undergo a multi-stage, vertically-integrated process to transform the raw material into coated spherical graphite (CSPG) for EV batteries. The transformation of natural flake graphite to anode-grade material is a multi-step process which includes the production of a flotation concentrate, micronization, spheronization, purification and coating. Lomiko is in the process of developing a path production and the eventual funding of an integrated pilot-scale plant, the Company is looking at how to best achieve over 99.99% carbon content in their purified CSPG. Research has shown that La Loutre's graphite could accelerate the decarbonization of transport and be used as graphite feed for up to 315,000 electric vehicles per year during the project, eliminating a huge amount of GHGs from the environment! Electric vehicles powered by batteries with Lomiko's graphite could reduce carbon emissions by ~616 kt CO2e per year, eliminating about 2 natural gas power plants!
