Lomiko Technical Safety and Sustainability Committee (LTSSC)

Lomiko is focused on the exploration and development of flake graphite in Quebec for the new green economy. Lomiko established the LTSSC to oversee the assessment of the La Loutre Flake Graphite Property and liaise with service providers, technical staff and stakeholders to put forward a series of documents including but not limited to, Graphite Characterization and Metallurgy, a Preliminary Economic Assessment, and if required pre-feasibility, bulk samples, pilot plant, feasibility and construction. The Committee is responsible for advising the Board of Directors to make crucial decisions on the project.

Quebec’s Role in The New Green Economy

In 2020, The Quebec Government released the Quebec Plan for Development of Critical and Strategic Minerals (“The Quebec Plan”) which indicates graphite demand would likely increase 300-500% in the coming decades as more is used in the production of spherical graphite for anode portion of Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion batteries. Quebec has an opportunity play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and become a key provider of critical battery materials to the North American economy.
