Assay Results:

Drillholes FL24-009, FL24-010, and FL24-020 intercepted significant spodumene pegmatite intervals varying from 10-20% spodumene content (pic 1-4 below). The presence of such intervals indicates the continued mineralization at depth and to the south-east of Dyke 1. Table 1 provides full assay results for lithium and related material; Table 2 lists drill hole collar information.

Pic 1. Spodumene Pegmatite from FL24-009. Approximately 1.15% Li2O over interval (199.00 m – 203.97 m)

Pic 2. Spodumene Pegmatite from FL24-009. Approximately 1.52% Li₂O over interval (235.98 m – 241.00 m)

Pic 3. Spodumene Pegmatite from FL24-010. Approximately 1.10% Li₂O over interval (176.22 m – 186.10 m)

Pic 4. Spodumene Pegmatite from FL24-020. Approximately 0.75% Li₂O over interval (232.00 m – 245.00 m)

Future Potential

Dyke 1 is still open at depth and to the southeast with a continued presence of spodumene pegmatite intersected on 50-metre step-outs, which is indicative of potential for continued resource expansion. The company plans on using the data gathered from this drill campaign to integrate with geochemical survey data. This database will be combined with historic and current exploration data to refine the current targeting model that will provide key data for future drill targets.

Chief Financial Officer Appointment

Foremost would like to announce the appointment of Mr. Dong Shim, CPA, CA, CPA (Illinois) – a partner in SHIM & Associates LLP – as Chief Financial Officer effective August 15, 2024. Mr. Shim brings an extensive background as a CFO for various publicly traded companies, primarily focused on the junior mining, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and high-tech sectors. Mr. Shim serves as an audit partner on numerous audit engagements has led a successful accounting and finance career in both the U.S. and Canada.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC)

A Quality Assurance / Quality Control protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the program and included a systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5%. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and coarse-split sample duplicates were completed to assess analytical precious at different stages of the laboratory preparation process.

All core samples were shipped to SGS Canada’s Laboratory in Burnaby, BC for sample preparation which includes drying at 105°C, crush to 75% passing 2 mm, riffle split 250 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The homogenized pulps were subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (codes GE_IMS91A50 and GE_ICP91A50).
