Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. Secures Full Ownership of Jean Lake Lithium-Gold Project

Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) has completed its acquisition of the Jean Lake Lithium-Gold Project in Manitoba's Snow Lake District, securing full ownership through a final payment of $75,000 in cash and $75,000 in common shares to Mount Morgan Resources Ltd. This transaction concludes a total purchase of $250,000 in cash and 47,299 shares, fulfilling the exploration spend requirements. Mount Morgan retains a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR), with Foremost holding the option to buy back 1% for $1 million.

The Jean Lake project has already shown promising initial drilling results, including high-grade gold and lithium findings. These results underscore the project's potential to contribute significantly to Foremost Clean Energy's portfolio, especially at a time when gold prices are high and the demand for lithium, a critical component in batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, is surging.

CEO Jason Barnard highlighted the strategic importance of the Jean Lake project, not only for its mineral potential but also for its location in a region supportive of clean energy initiatives. Barnard also expressed the company's solidarity with the local community and First Nations partners affected by wildfires, emphasizing Foremost's commitment to responsible and sustainable exploration practices.

This acquisition aligns with Foremost Clean Energy's broader strategy to capitalize on the growing demand for uranium and lithium, essential resources for the global transition to cleaner energy sources. The company's focus on exploration in the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin and its secondary portfolio of lithium projects positions it as a key player in the clean energy sector.
