Lomiko Outlines 2012 Goals for High Purity, Large Flake Crystalline Graphite Exploration

LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX VENTURE:LMR)(PINKSHEETS:LMRMF)(FRANKFURT:DH8B) (the "Company")

has established its 2012 goals regarding its Quatre Milles Graphite Property. Lomiko outlined its strategy to focus on electric minerals and gold for 2012 at the beginning of the year and is pleased to report significant progress in the first quarter of 2012.

Lomiko optioned the Quatre Milles Graphite Property in Quebec to search for large flake, crystalline graphite which is sought after for use in electric cars, fuel cells, pebble-bed nuclear reactors. Graphene, a newly discovered, chicken-wire shaped formation of carbon which is one-atom thick has also re-kindled interest in large flake graphite properties. Graphene has incredible properties that can make it 200 times stronger than steel, a superconductor and heat-resistant. Research scientists world-wide are experimenting with new technology that use graphene and many new patents have been filed since the Nobel Prize was awarded for its discovery in 2010.

Historical Highlights

Graphicor completed reconnaissance mapping and prospecting as well as ground geophysics and a 26 hole diamond drill program totaling 1,625 metres.

The work identified several conductive trends in the central portion of the property and at least three, relatively flat lying graphitic beds.

Three surface samples were collected and analyzed returning results of 14.16% Cgf, 18.06% Cgf and 20.35% Cgf.

23 of the initial 26 drill holes intersected graphite concentrations with graphite concentration in range of 4.69% in hole Q90-1 to a highlight of 8.07% Cgf over 28.60 metres in hole Q90-7. The highest individual assay was reported in hole Q90-10 reporting 15.48% Cgf over 0.50 metres

About the company The Quatre Milles Property is road accessible and is located approximately 175 km northwest of Montreal and 17 km due north of the village of Sainte-Veronique, Quebec. The property consists of 28 contiguous claims totaling approximately 1,600 hectares.The property was originally staked and explored by Graphicor Resources Inc. ("Graphicor") in the summer of 1989 based on the results of a regional helicopter-borne EM survey. The underlying geology consists of intercalated biotite gneiss, biotite feldspar gneiss, marble, quartzite and calc-silicate lithologies of the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Province.

Strike Graphite Intersects Significant Graphite at Simon Lake Graphite Property

Strike Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRK) (the "Company")

is pleased to announce that it has intersected graphitic gneisses on the first hole at the Company's Simon Lake Property. Thus far, Graphite mineralization has been encountered at the beginning of the hole, with the most abundant intercepts occurring from 10.2 to 23.9 metres (13.7m interval); followed by a second graphitic zone from 45.7 to 69.5 metres (23.8m interval). A third graphitic zone from 93.5 to 102.2 metres (8.7m interval) was also encountered. In the field, flake sizes of up to 4 millimetres have been noted*. Drilling of the first hole will continue until approximately 240m or until passing through a final potential graphitic zone. Photos of the core will be uploaded to the company website or may be viewed at the following link: http://strikegraphite.com/core-photo-gallery.html

The current hole, SL-12-001, has verified the historic intervals of graphite in hole E42-5, at the Simon Lake West Target. Historic hole E42-5 encountered a graphitic biotite gneiss with core descriptions of "disseminated graphite" or "coarse graphite flakes", with narrower intervals described as "graphite flakes abundant" and "heavy graphite in 6 to 12 inch bands".

All relevant graphite intersections will be sent for routine analysis for carbon content and multi-element analysis. Additionally, core will be tested for mineralogical characterization and initial metallurgical testing in order to determine the graphite flake size distribution, purity and recovery.

About the Company:

Strike Graphite Corp. is a progressive exploration company with seasoned management targeting strategic assets on a global scale. In addition to the Deep Bay East and Simon Lake graphite properties, the Company is also active advancing its Wagon Graphite property in Quebec next to the Timcal Graphite mine. The company is also advancing the Satterly Lake gold project in NW, Ontario, located just west of Gold Canyon Resources Inc.
