Foremost Lithium Receives Multi-Year Work Permit to Commence Drilling on its Jean Lake Lithium/Gold Property

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost Lithium”, “Foremost” or the “Company”), a North American hard-rock lithium exploration company, is pleased to confirm today that it received a multi-year work permit for its Jean Lake Lithium/Gold Project from the Mining Permit Office of the Manitoba Government, valid until April 30th of 2026. This permit will enable the Company to streamline the administrative processes involved with future exploration on the property, to understand the potential long-term impacts of the property while minimizing any potential work disruptions in a safer, more cost-effective approach.

Foremost has finalized plans to begin a 15-hole, 2,500 metre diamond drill program on its Jean Lake Lithium/Gold Project located near the historic mining centre of Snow Lake in Manitoba commencing next month. The Company has signed a drill contract with Rodren Drilling Ltd. (Winnipeg, Manitoba). Gogal Air Services will provide the air support, core storage and preparation facilities in Snow Lake with drill pads to be cut by Moss Line Cutting Ltd. (Snow Lake, Manitoba). Field and technical support for the drilling program will be provided by Dahrouge Geological Consulting (Edmonton, Alberta).

Foremost Lithium’s CEO and President, Jason Barnard, states: “Crews have begun mobilizing to Snow Lake, Manitoba in preparation for the winter drill season. The multi-year permit allows our company the flexibility to optimize our future work on the property, which is critical as we seek to rapidly advance our resource development. This is paramount to unlocking the potential of the Jean Lake property and creating sustainable, long-term shareholder value.”

The 15-hole program will be targeting the north-east section of the property which hosts the B-1 and B-2 spodumene bearing pegmatite dyke. Previous drilling just north of the B1 pegmatite intersected a 3.35 metre zone of spodumene mineralization between surface and 3.35 metres, assaying 1.26% Li2O (Lithium), as well as 7.50 g/t Au (Gold) over 7.66 metres from 94.35 - 102.01 metres (including 102.0 g/t Au over 0.48 metres from 94.77 - 95.25 metres).

Drilling will focus on extending mineralization laterally, and at depth, to develop a better understanding of the spodumene-bearing pegmatite emplacement mechanisms at Jean Lake. Drilling will also follow-up on favorable gold intercepts discovered during the 2023 Jean Lake drill program with the intent of establishing the extent of the gold mineralization.
