In this episode we have a returning guest who appeared in January 2022 (Episode 203). Belinda Labatte, CEO and Director of Lomiko Metals who are a Canadian junior exploration and development company with properties in Quebec, focused on the development of a graphite and Lithium project.

Belinda has more than 15 years of senior management experience in mining and 20 years in the capital and investment markets and gives us an update on the company, what the companies outlook is over the next 6-12 months and what the Canadian battery market is like at the moment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
We need to look at mining in a different way and strategic minerals is all about securing a domestic supply chain for these minerals for a future with renewable energy as well as geopolitical security.
Various products can come out a graphite mine depending in the flake distribution, if the flakes are fine they can then be used for SPG graphite for the electrical vehicle market.
Graphite is looking at gaining a 30-40% increase in demand but the supply is not there to meet it.
Lomiko Metals is at the phase where they will generate the supply needed, they don’t want to push out anything that isn’t needed or wanted in the market.

BEST MOMENTS

'I have a real appreciation for the opportunities that the raw natural resources can bring into a community and a country’

‘The gap is going to be widening between supply and natural flake graphite and right now’

‘For us, it’s really about creating that anode product that is suitable for a very specific us and a very specific demand or supply profile’
