LAS VEGAS & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR, OTCQB: LMRMF, FSE: DH8C) and SHD Smart Home Devices (“SHD”) www.shddevices.com have arranged meetings with potential distribution partners in the Electronics and Smart Home Automation for the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Nevada. SHD Devices hopes to launch Spider Charger™ with North American wide distribution and a suggested retail price of $29 USD. SHD has conducted market analysis which indicates there is a need for the Spider Charger™ in an estimated 1 million condos, hotels and offices which all have increasing demand for USB-enabled receptacles.

"SHD has an incredible opportunity to participate in a burgeoning IoT and Smart Device market," stated A. Paul Gill, CEO of Lomiko Metals and VP of Business Development of SHD Smart Home Devices. "Imagine replacing your power bar or unsafe receptacle extension kits with one unit which connects directly by USB.”

The Market

There are currently 130 million established households in North America and a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 1.1 million housing starts. In addition, 20 million offices, hotels and public and private locations are also potential markets for USB charging devices. SHD Estimates 10% of this market will install USB enabled receptacles in the coming year. If only one or two USB charging devices are installed in new homes and retro-fitted into current homes undergoing renovations, there will be a healthy demand for these IOT products. Smart Home Ltd. plans to enter into negotiations to sell the Spider Charger and other related devices in North American markets with IOT distributors and builders. Lomiko will share its network of industry connections to help grow the venture and then enjoy the SHD equity multiplier without being burdened with any engineering, new product development, IP or associated marketing costs as the Spider charger and SHD suite of IoT products are rolled out.
