RPLPN Petite-Nation Lake Protection Group: At the start of this tumultuous year, the Petite-Nation graphite mine project has now attracted the attention of the prestigious London-based Guardian, one of the world’s most prestigious newspapers.
While Lomiko Metals has always maintained that the graphite would only be used for battery production, the article and international news highlight the needs of the American military. As usual, Lomiko declined to comment.
For our part, we will continue in 2026 to build on the solidarity achieved last year against this project, which is harmful to our region (95.5% NO), and will soon tell you about the alternative projects underway for this exceptional site.
