New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 31, 2016) - Graphene Energy
Storage Devices Corp. (GESD), 40% owned by Lomiko Technologies, a 100%
owned subsidiary of Lomiko Metals Inc. ('Lomiko') (TSXV: LMR) (OTC: LMRMF)
(FSE: DH8B), is pleased to announce the successful completion of a
development project undertaken jointly with the Research Foundation of
Stony Brook University (SBU). The SBU team lead by Dr. Samuilov explored a
novel method for assembly of high-voltage Supercapacitor units. The SBU
team assembled and tested a 10 V Supercapacitor energy storage unit, thus
proving feasibility of the high-voltage design. This development opens
avenue for new low-cost energy storage products. Currently, GESD is working
on scale-up of the technology and an in-field evaluation of the energy
storage unit. 'Lomiko is developing a group of mineral and technology
development projects that include lithium and graphite exploration, new
battery and supercapacitor development and 3D printing capability.' Stated

Supercapacitors are promising energy storage devices. Due to their fast
charge-discharge characteristics, low equivalent series resistance, long
cycle life, wide operating temperatures, supercapacitors are finding
application in transportation, industrial and grid energy storage. There is
rapidly growing demand for capacitive energy storage systems with high
power and energy densities. However, individual supercapacitor units have
very low stand-off voltage, < 3 V. In order to increase the operation
voltage to a practical level, > 3 V, the EDLCs are connected in series
stacks. The EDLCs need to be interconnected and balanced with an electronic
circuit, which results in a bulky and expensive energy storage system. The
GESD-SBU team demonstrated design and implementation of a sealed
high-voltage EDLCs energy storage unit. The unit is internally balanced,
there is no need for an external circuit. The electrode is very
