Company Announcements

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 13, 2026-- Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSX.V: LMR) (“Lomiko Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a private placement (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $500,000 through the issuance of 5,000,000 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of C$0.10 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of 3 years following the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”).

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes, the advancement of the La Loutre natural flake graphite project (the “Project”), and for regional graphite exploration.

All securities issued shall be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the Closing. Completion of the Offering is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Community Update

Lomiko is pleased to announce that it is working more closely with a local construction partner on further development of the Project and is currently reviewing a number of mutually beneficial cooperation opportunities. This working relationship solidifies and demonstrates Lomiko’s commitment to regional participation and creates community alignment and opportunities not just for this specific group but also for other service providers and community members via direct employment, and underscores the importance of critical mineral projects in Quebec and Canada as economic engines of growth. Lomiko is continuing to work with many local contractors and Quebec suppliers throughout its study phase, as previously announced, given the region's qualified workforce and many established engineering services.

Lomiko is working on finalizing the NI-43-101 Preliminary Feasibility Report for its La Loutre graphite project, with the report expected to be published on or before May 8th, 2026. The Preliminary Feasibility study forecasts similar outputs to previously published Preliminary Economic Assessment (See press release issued on August 4th, 2021) of around 97,000 tonnes of concentrate per year for the first 20 years and 39,000 tonnes per year for the last 8 years and, also reaffirms that, even with the doubling of the mine life, which solidifies the Project's sustainability for jobs and industry capacity building, the Project footprint remains under the 5% of the total claim package. The project is expected to support the creation of over 250 jobs during construction and 160 jobs in production. The projected revenue of C$4.7B can have a significant economic impact on the province and southern Quebec. The mining and plant are assumed to be operated by a local workforce.
