 So hello everyone, this is Byron King with Investor Intel and today we are going to interview representatives of a company called Lomiko, LLMIKO, which is a lithium and graphite company working in Quebec. I'll offer Belinda LeBat the chance to just give a quick introduction to the company. Well, maybe I'll give that introduction and and Guadanas here, Chief Operating Officer myself, CEO and Director. We have a third member of our team, Vince Osborn, CFO. We all came in just over a year ago to build a meaningful operator of choice starting in Quebec, exploring and developing for graphite and lithium. And we have a project that is at the PEA stage that's now about 50% of the way into the PFS stage. Fantastic deposit in southern Quebec where we have mineral rights inside of the Grenville graphite belt, which sits inside Kittigan-Zibi traditional territory. And in the north, we have a lithium project that we're earning our way into. It's a very large package or claim that is over 100 square kilometers in size. And that is what we are looking to do where we are looking to develop or explore for lithium anomalies. We have cesium tantalum that's also been found at early soil sampling. And we'll be continuing to do that work and really creating a strategic position on the north end of the Damasca lithium belt. Well, thank you, Belinda. I want to turn to Guadana, Guadana Slepchip, who is one of your technical experts in the metallurgical arena. Guadana, a lot of people might know graphite as the graphite pencil or you put it in a lock to undo the lock, but it's true that most of what is in a modern battery is not lithium nickel cobalt. Most of what's in a modern battery is graphite. Isn't that where we're coming from here? Yes. Thank you, Ben. I just want to correct I'm a mining engineer, but I get that pleasure to learn a lot about the batteries and composition. Yeah, you're correct. 95% of the anode, which is negative electrode, is composed of the graphite. So there are many industrial uses for graphite, including I believe first one as lubricants, it leads you to its properties. The graphite has really strong ties along the planar view, but between the planes, it is really easy to separate. That's what actually helps with lubrication. And some other uses like nuclear, chemical, still making, but really upcoming areas of the use, it is into batteries, lithium ion batteries, rechargeable batteries that we use nowadays for our cell phones, computers, of course, electric vehicles, and also for energy storage. Now, Belinda, before we came on air here, we were talking, you mentioned that there is about to be a global shortage of graphite. It's not one of those things that people think in terms of shortages, people think of, oh, there's not enough oil, oh, there's not enough, you know, gold, there's not enough copper. What's the story about the shortage of graphite? Where's that coming from, Belinda? That's correct. So if you look at the last 10 years, the market has been at a equilibrium, I would say. So producing globally, there's about over a million tons per year of graphite that is produced to serve these markets that Gordana has been referring to. And, you know, as a heat retardant, traditional industries, lubrication, all of that. But it is the anode that is creating the supply shortage. And because the growth of the EV market, the penetration rates in Canada, at least, are still, you know, sub 10%, call it about 7%, heavy industrial vehicles, 1% REV, all of that is going to change, because if you look at Canada, for example, all cars that will be sold in Canada by 2035 will be electric. All of them will need graphite. So you're seeing a massive dislocation of a very important mineral. It's not fuel, it's not, you know, petroleum, it is graphite. So that's where that shortage is coming from, the anticipated demand for this material or supply shortage, rather, is 8 million tons by 2040. And that's where you get the eight times multiple. Now, traditionally, much of the world's graphite has been processed in China for the last 30 years, kind of like everything, everything comes from China. So does, does Lemico have a plan to produce and process, not just dig it out of the ground, but I mean, actually process the material into a saleable graphite that you could sell to the car companies, the battery companies, whatever. Gordana, what's your mining engineer view of this? Yeah, I think nowadays, the majority of the demand going into the, of course, Arnold and the battery production, one who is developing the graphite mining would have to think about developing Arnold facility. It may be Lemico alone, but we may join forces with some other groups to do that transformational facility. Something for, you know, a majority of the folks to understand, there, any plant would actually have flotation plant, which is the first plant to upgrade the graphite and minimize material. So because at the end of the day, the majority of the cost comes from college and mining. So Lemico intends really to build the flotation plant close to its mine site, where it would produce a graphite that is plus 94% carbon. So anything that comes out from these graphite mines and flotation plants has to meet that minimum of plus 94 to be, you know, selected to go into further processes if it goes into the Arnold production. For Arnold production, you really need very pure material over 99.95% purity or even higher. We have done some work earlier this year and we have proven that actually our material could be purified for over 99.95% carbon and impurities, which are really important for the manufacturer are really low. We are also now finishing the metallurgical testing with SGS. And as I was showing just before, we have some of the examples of the flakes, the electrically awesome and the R-standing materials now to do micronization, spheronization, and later purification studies for our battery anode materials or bands. Okay. I'll show my visual later. This is a piece of anthracite coal from Redding, Pennsylvania over in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, the Appalachian Mountains. Now, if I continue geologically north to a higher grade of metamorphism, I get up into Quebec. And this anthracite coal, not this particular, but anthracite coal like that, has been highly metamorphosed into your graphite. And yeah, so here's this graphite. Now, people think of coal or people think of that as perhaps a commodity material. How much is a ton of this stuff worth? Belinda, what's your, what's the price point and where's the profit in this kind of flaky little graphite stuff here? Well, I mean, what's interesting about graphite is it depends on the size of those flakes. I don't know what you're holding. The fines are more valuable than the large flakes. And it's really what the fines are, what are going to be used at a very specific flake size for the anode. And those are about $900 a ton, up to $1,000. And then the entire product spectrum, you can see, you know, $1,500 a ton. I don't know what flake size that is. Gordana, are you going to guess? Well, it's kind of hard to see. It seems like something fine. Maybe around minus a hundred, the mesh. Yeah, this is fairly fine. This is fairly fine material. Okay. You know, we can talk about this all day, but the viewers have their attention spent. The point is that you have a company called Lomiko, L-O-M-I-K-O, it trades on the TSX Venture and it trades on the USOTC under a ticker. And you have a website and you have a presentation and a fact sheet where people can go to find out more. And if they want, they can contact the company. But it's Lomiko, L-O-M-I-K-O, an up and coming graphite play working in Quebec, which is in North America, which is part of the trade agreement so that they can basically, you know, feed material into the US auto industry, battery industry and everything else. Belinda, Gordana, thank you for your time. We wish you well. You're welcome. Thank you.
