Company Data

Introduction

Foremost Lithium is a green energy technology company striving to be one of the first North American companies committed to ethically produce high quality, battery-grade lithium hydroxide domestically to fuel the ever-growing international electric vehicle (EV) battery market. As of November 17, 2021 the EV market cap of 1.52 trillion dollars outpaced the traditional combustion engine's 1.47 trillion dollars market for the first time.

Foremost Lithium has four lithium properties: Zoro, Jean Lake, and Grass River located in mining-friendly Snow Lake, Manitoba, and Hidden Lake in the Northwest Territories. The Company also holds an asset in precious commodities with its Winston Gold/Silver Project in New Mexico, USA.

Investment Highlights

• Perfectly positioned to capitalize on the rapid demand for lithium fueled by the explosive growth of the EV Market.
• Foremost hosts four lithium properties, Jean Lake, Grass River, and Zoro, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba, and Hidden Lake in the Northwest Territories on over 30,846 acres with potential exploration upside with over 95% of the property yet to be explored.
• Foremost recently increased its land package by 14,873 acres, or 130% to a total of 26,276 acres making it a large lithium exploration company in Snow Lake, Manitoba.
• Excellent infrastructure and accessibility on all the Company's Lithium Properties with favourable geographic proximity to “Auto Alley” and strategic North American partners for operational synergies and refining.
• Zoro Lithium Project, over $5 million has recently been spent on exploration with five completed successful drill programs and a NI 43-101 Compliant Resource indicated leading to the discovery of at least 13 lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes.
• Published 2020 report justifies Zoro ore can deliver 6% Battery Grade Lithium Hydroxide Concentrate. A permit was approved to extract a bulk sample from its Zoro Lithium Project, which is the first step towards the production of 6% battery-grade lithium hydroxide.
• Foremost Lithium neighbor Snow Lake Resources Ltd. closed their IPO on November 11, 2021 at $27.6MM with market cap at US$120 million. Foremost's spodumene and beryl lithium pegmatite dykes on their Jean Lake property is situated along the Thompson Brothers Lithium Trend where Snow Lake Resources Ltd. announced: “S-K compliant estimate indicated resource of 9,082,600 tonnes of lithium-bearing ore grading 1.00% Li2O for 91,200 tonnes of Li2O and an inferred resources of 1,967,900 tonnes grading 0.98% Li2O for 19,300 tonnes of Li2O. Potential exists for 8-10 years of production of 160,000 tonnes per annum of 6% lithium concentrate”.
• Jean-Lake returned high-grade lithium Li2O% assays from recent exploration included results of 3.89 Li2O% to 5.17% Li2O%.
• Foremost Lithium projects are hosted in hard-rock spodumene pegmatite deposits. Specific demand for lithium hydroxide derived from spodumene pegmatite dikes continues to increase as it is proving to be the most cost-effective and efficient choice for this battery metal used by EV manufacturers.

Grass River Lithium Project, Manitoba

This nearly 15,000 acres Lithium Project is composed of 27 claims, with multiple pegmatites exposed in outcrop and 7 drill-indicated spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes.

Next steps include drill specific high value targets defined by integrating historic and new exploration datasets to significantly increase the tonnage of the lithium resource.

Jean Lake Lithium Project, Manitoba

Located in Snow Lake Manitoba, this property consists of 5 claims and recently re-discovered high-grade lithium pegmatites along the Beryl Pegmatite Lithium Trend which assay results included 3.89 Li2O% to 5.17% Li2O%.

Drone-assisted magnetic and Lidar surveys, prospecting and surficial geochemical methods with boots on the grounds continuing into 2022.

Zoro Lithium Project, Manitoba

Located in Snow Lake Manitoba, this property consists of 8,900 acres with over $5 million in exploration spent on five completed successful drill programs totaling almost 8,500 metres in 60 holes, leading to the discovery of at least 13 lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes with grades in excess of 6.3% Li2O returned from assays of drill core on the property.

Maiden resource reported on portion of Dyke 1 in 2018: inferred resource of 1.1Mt at 0.91% Li2O.

Images from EarthEx Geophysical Solutions Inc. magnetic data identified several highly prospective targets which correlate with the previously identified Beryl pegmatite dikes (B and B-2) which assayed between 3.89 per cent and 5.17 per cent Li2O. The coincidence of the trends of magnetic lows with the Beryl pegmatites and their extension along a trend recognized for its association with high-grade lithium pegmatites is highly encouraging.

On February 16, 2022, Foremost Lithium announced that it has contracted EarthEx Geophysical Solutions Inc. to perform an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetic survey to be flown at its Zoro and Grass River Claim (GRC) lithium projects in Snow Lake Manitoba, commencing in March, 2022.
