Annual Report on Form 20-F
Year Ended June 30, 2024
TABLE OF CONTENTS
CERTAIN INFORMATION
As used in this Annual Report on Form 20-F (this “Annual Report”), unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to
●“we,” “Snow Lake,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “our company” are to Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (d/b/a Snow Lake Energy), including its subsidiaries;
●“common shares” are to our common shares, no par value; and
●“Nasdaq” are to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In this Annual Report, references to “Canada” are to Canada and its provinces and territories; references to “$,” “USD,” “dollars,” “USD$” or “U.S. dollars” are to the legal currency of the United States; and references to “C$,” or “Canadian dollar” are to the legal currency of Canada.
Solely for the convenience of the reader, this Annual Report contains translations of certain Canadian dollar amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates. Except as otherwise stated in this Annual Report, all translations from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars are based on the closing rate of C$1.3687 per $1.00 for cable transfers of Canadian dollars, as certified by Bank of Canada on June 28, 2024. On October 28, 2024, the closing rate for Canadian dollar was C$1.3895 per US$1.00. No representation is made that such Canadian dollar amounts referred to in this Annual Report could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding.
The audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. Our fiscal year end is June 30.
Share Consolidation, or the Reverse Split
On October 7, 2021, we effectuated a one-for-five reverse stock split of our common shares, or the Reverse Split. The historical audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report have been adjusted for the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, all other share and per share data in this Annual Report have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Split.
At the shareholders meeting held on May 2, 2024, approval was given to undertake a reverse stock split of our common shares at a ratio to be determined by the board of directors, at its sole discretion, at such time as the board of directors deems appropriate, but in any event no later than May 1, 2027.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in, but not limited to, the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Information on the Company”, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
●our goals and strategies;
●expectations regarding revenue, expenses and operations;
●expectations regarding demand for, and prices of, minerals;
●our having sufficient working capital and being able to secure additional funding necessary for the continued exploration of our property interests;
●expectations regarding the potential mineralization, geological merit and economic feasibility of our projects;
●expectations regarding exploration results at any of our projects;
●mineral exploration and exploration program cost estimates;
●expectations regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploration programs and the potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations;
●receipt and timing of exploration permits and other third-party approvals;
●government regulation of mineral exploration and development operations;
●expectations regarding any social or local community issues that may affected planned or future exploration and development programs; and
●key personnel continuing their employment with us.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “project” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.

You should carefully consider all of the information in this Annual Report, including various changing regulatory, competitive, economic, political and social risks and conditions described below, before making an investment in our common shares. One or more of a combination of these risks could materially impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. In any such case, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Please also carefully read the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Our Risks and Challenges
Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similar companies. Our ability to realize our business objectives and execute our strategies is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following summary risk factors set forth in more detail below:
·We have a limited operating history and have not yet generated any revenues.
·All of our business activities are now in the exploration stage and there can be no assurance that our exploration efforts will result in commercial development of mineral ore or deposits.
·If we do not obtain additional financing, our business may be at risk or execution of our business plan may be delayed.
·We have no history of mineral production.
·We may not achieve exploration success on our mineral resource projects.
·Fluctuations in the price of uranium and alternate sources of energy could have an adverse effect on our uranium projects and our securities.
·The uranium industry is subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards, including environmental protection laws and regulations. If any changes occur that would make these laws, regulations
3
and standards more stringent, it may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
·Our mineral resources or reserves may be significantly lower than expected or as currently published.
·Mineral exploration and development are subject to extraordinary operating risks. We currently do not insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which could have an adverse impact on us.
·We may not be able to obtain or renew licenses or permits that are necessary to our operations.
·Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
·The Black Lake Uranium Project, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project may face indigenous land claims.
·Volatility in lithium prices and lithium demand has made it currently commercially unfeasible for us to develop our lithium projects, and we cannot assure you when, if ever, such prices and demand will improve to a level that will make development of our lithium projects commercially feasible.
·There can be no guarantee that our interests in our mineral resource projects are free from any title defects.
·Failure to comply with federal, provincial and/or local laws and regulations could adversely affect our business.
·Failure to comply with environmental regulation could adversely affect our business.
·We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.
·A single major shareholder owns a significant amount of our common shares. As a result, although less than a majority of our outstanding common shares, it will have the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval.
·There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in our shares.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Risks and uncertainties related to our business and industry include, but are not limited to, the following:
We have a limited operating history and have not yet generated any revenues.
Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. We were formed in May 2018 and we have not yet begun commercial production. To date, we have no revenues. We have incurred significant losses since our inception. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net losses of C$6.9 million (approximately $5.0 million) and C$15.5 million (approximately $11.7 million), respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of C$26.5 million (approximately $19.4 million). We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to conduct exploration and development activities on our mineral resource projects.
We currently have a total of four mineral resource projects, or Projects, consisting of two uranium projects and two hard rock lithium projects. Our uranium projects consist of (i) the Black Lake Uranium Project, located in the Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan, Canada, and (ii) the Engo Valley Uranium Project, in Namibia. Our lithium projects consist of (i) the Shatford Lake Project, adjacent to the Tanco tantalum, cesium and lithium mine in Southern Manitoba, Canada, and (ii) the Thompson Brothers project and the Grass River project, or collectively, the Snow Lake
4
Lithium™ Project, in the Snow Lake region of Northern Manitoba, Canada. We do not currently consider any of our Projects material. All of our current Projects are at the exploration stage and there is no guarantee that any such activity will result in commercial production of mineral ore or deposits at any of our Projects. Our Projects are subject to the substantial risks and uncertainties discussed in this section and elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that any of our Projects will result in successful commercial production or that we will ever become profitable. Our failure to achieve or sustain profitability could negatively impact the value of our securities and have a material adverse effect on our prospects.
All of our business activities are now in the exploration stage and there can be no assurance that our exploration efforts will result in commercial development of mineral ore or deposits.
All of our operations are at the exploration stage and there is no guarantee that any such activity will result in commercial production of mineral ore or deposits. We do not consider any of our Projects material at this time.
In July 2023, we completed an S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary of Initial Assessment, or the PEA, for the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, which considered a mine plan consisting of underground mining on both deposits, with an initial open pit on the Grass River deposit. However, as a result of a drop in lithium prices, after a stratospheric rise in 2022, followed by a precipitous 80% drop during 2023, demand for lithium continues to be weak, prices continue to decline, and a number of major global lithium producers continue to curtail production until the lithium market and lithium prices recover. At the present time, given the current state of the lithium market, we intend to limit additional exploratory drilling at the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project.
The exploration for mineral deposits involves significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish proven mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the exploration programs planned by us or any future development programs will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. There is no assurance that our mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial quantities of uranium or lithium. There is also no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a mineral property will be brought into commercial production. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices which are highly cyclical; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Our long-term profitability will be in part directly related to the cost and success of our exploration programs and any subsequent development programs.
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business may be at risk or execution of our business plan may be delayed.
We have limited assets upon which to continue operations. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of C$2,526,957 (approximately US$1,846,246). Additional funding will be needed to implement our business plan that includes various expenses such as continuing our mineral exploration programs, legal, general and administrative, marketing, employee salaries and other related expenses. Obtaining additional funding will be subject to various factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and ongoing results from our exploration efforts. These financings, if obtained, could result in substantial dilution to the holders of our common shares, or require contractual or other restrictions on our operations or on alternatives that may be available to us. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities could impose significant restrictions on our operations. Any such required financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, and the failure to procure such required financing could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, or threaten our ability to continue as a going concern.
We may not be able to acquire additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of our planned exploration programs. If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may be required to delay further exploration or development. We also may have to reduce the resources devoted to our exploration efforts or cease operations. Any of these factors could harm our business.
5
We have no history of mineral production.
We are an exploration stage company and we have no history of mining mineral products from any of our properties. As such, any future revenues and profits are uncertain. There can be no assurance that any of our Projects will be successfully placed into production, produce minerals in commercial quantities or otherwise generate operating earnings. Advancing projects from the exploration stage into development and commercial production requires significant capital and time and will be subject to further technical studies, permitting requirements and construction of mines, processing plants, roads and related works and infrastructure. We will continue to incur losses until mining-related operations successfully reach commercial production levels and generate sufficient revenue to fund continuing operations. There is no certainty that we will generate revenue from any source, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.
We may not achieve exploration success on our mineral resource projects.
Exploration for mineral resources is highly speculative, and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Our mineral resource projects are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties inherent in mineral resource exploration and development activities, including, without limitation: commodity price fluctuations, general economic, market and business conditions; regulatory processes and actions; failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals; technical challenges; new legislation; ability to raise further capital to fund; competitive and general economic factors and conditions; uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans; occurrence of unexpected events; and, management’s capacity to execute and implement its future plans. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in overcoming these risks, and we may not achieve exploration success on any of our mineral resource projects.
Further, even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered with respect to any of our Projects, we cannot assure you that it will be developed and brought into commercial production, whether as expected or at all. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is dependent upon a number of factors, most of which are beyond our control and may result in us not receiving adequate return on investment capital. Our ability to achieve exploration success with any of our Projects, or ones we may acquire in the future, is also dependent upon the services of appropriately experienced personnel and/or third-party contractors who can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that we will have available to us the necessary expertise when and if we bring any of our mineral resource projects into production.
We have no history of uranium extraction and sales. Our ability to generate revenue is subject to a number of factors, any one or more of which may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
We have no history of uranium extraction and generating revenue. If we are unable to directly develop existing uranium projects, such as our Black Lake Uranium Project or our Engo Valley Uranium Project, into uranium mines from which we can commence uranium extraction, it will negatively impact our ability to generate revenues. Any one or more of these occurrences may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
Fluctuations in the price of uranium and alternate sources of energy could have an adverse effect on our uranium projects and our securities.
The price of our securities will be sensitive to fluctuations in the price of uranium. Historically, fluctuations in the price of uranium have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control. Such factors include, without limitation, demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing and consuming countries, public and political response to a nuclear accident, improvements in nuclear reactor efficiencies, reprocessing of used reactor fuel and the re-enrichment of depleted uranium tails, sales of excess inventories by governments and industry participants, and production levels and production costs in key uranium producing countries.
In addition, nuclear energy competes with other sources of energy like oil, natural gas, coal and hydroelectricity. These sources are somewhat interchangeable with nuclear energy, particularly over the longer term. If lower prices of oil, natural gas, coal and hydroelectricity are sustained over time, it may result in lower demand for uranium concentrates and uranium conversion services, which, among other things, could lead to lower uranium prices. Growth of the uranium and nuclear power industry will also depend on continuing and growing public support for nuclear technology to generate electricity. Unique political, technological and environmental factors affect the nuclear industry, exposing
6
it to the risk of public opinion, which could have a negative effect on the demand for nuclear power and increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry. An accident at a nuclear reactor anywhere in the world could affect acceptance of nuclear energy and the future prospects for nuclear generation.
All of the above factors could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to obtain the required financing in the future or to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us, resulting in material and adverse effects on our exploration programs, our uranium projects and our financial condition.
The uranium industry is subject to influential political and regulatory factors which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
The international uranium industry, including the supply of uranium concentrates, is relatively small, competitive and heavily regulated. Worldwide demand for uranium is directly tied to the demand for electricity produced by the nuclear power industry, which is also subject to extensive government regulation and policies. In addition, the international marketing and trade of uranium is subject to political changes in governmental policies, regulatory requirements and international trade restrictions (including trade agreements, customs, duties and/or taxes and political sanctions). International agreements, governmental policies and trade restrictions are beyond our control. Changes in regulatory requirements, customs, duties or taxes may affect the availability of uranium, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
The uranium industry is subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards, including environmental protection laws and regulations. If any changes occur that would make these laws, regulations and standards more stringent, it may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities are subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards at the international, federal, state and local levels governing permitting, pre-extraction, extraction, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and reclamation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. Our compliance with these requirements requires significant financial and personnel resources.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the jurisdictions in which we operate, may change or be applied or interpreted in a manner which may also have a material adverse effect on our operations. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency or special interest group may also have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities are also subject to stringent environmental protection laws and regulations at the international, federal, state and local levels. These laws and regulations include permitting and reclamation requirements, and regulate emissions, water storage and discharges and disposal of hazardous wastes. Uranium mining activities are also subject to laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of mining methods. Various permits from governmental and regulatory bodies are required for mining to commence or continue, and no assurance can be provided that required permits will be received in a timely manner.
Furthermore, environmental protection laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future, and compliance with such changes may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations. Regulatory and environmental standards may also change over time to address global climate change, which could further increase these costs.
To the best of our knowledge, our operations are currently in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, regulations and standards. If we become subject to liability for any violations, we may not be able or may elect not to insure against such risk due to high insurance premiums or other reasons. Where coverage is available and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against such risk, subject to exclusions and limitations. However, we cannot provide any assurance that such insurance will continue to be available at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

Major nuclear incidents may have adverse effects on the nuclear and uranium industries.
The nuclear incident that occurred in Japan in March 2011 had significant and adverse effects on both the nuclear and uranium industries. If another nuclear incident were to occur, it may have further adverse effects for both industries. Public opinion of nuclear power as a source of electricity generation may be adversely affected, which may cause governments of certain countries to further increase regulation for the nuclear industry, reduce or abandon current reliance on nuclear power or reduce or abandon existing plans for nuclear power expansion. Any one of these occurrences has the potential to reduce current and/or future demand for nuclear power, resulting in lower demand for uranium and lower market prices for uranium, adversely affecting the Company’s operations and prospects. Furthermore, the growth of the nuclear and uranium industries is dependent on continuing and growing public support of nuclear power as a viable source of electricity generation.
The price of alternative energy sources affects the demand for and price of uranium.
The attractiveness of uranium as an alternative fuel to generate electricity may be dependent on the relative prices of oil, gas, wind, solar, coal and hydro-electricity and the possibility of developing other low-cost sources of energy. If the prices of alternative energy sources decrease or new low-cost alternative energy sources are developed, the demand for uranium could decrease, which may result in a decrease in the price of uranium.
Our mineral resources or reserves may be significantly lower than expected or as currently published.
We are in the exploration stage and our planned principal operations have not commenced. There is currently no commercial production on any of our Projects.
In July 2023, we completed the PEA for the Snow Lake LithiumTM Project, which considered a mine plan consisting of underground mining on both deposits, with an initial open pit on the Grass River deposit. The PEA is preliminary in nature and is intended to provide an initial, high-level review of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project’s economic potential and design options. The projected economic results include numerous assumptions and are based on measured, indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates for the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, as specified in the PEA. Inferred resources are considered to be too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Unlike mineral reserves, mineral resource estimates do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to a number of factors, including the current state of the lithium market and warmer than normal winter weather conditions in Northern Manitoba during early 2024, we did not undertake a planned winter drilling campaign. During 2024, we will complete our second year of environmental baseline data collection. Additional exploration, including additional infill drilling, and drilling of the open extensions of both the Thompson Brothers and Grass River deposits, will be limited during 2024 due the factors described above. We are of the view that the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project does not have the scale, size, grade or project economics to make it an attractive exploration project at the present time given the current lithium pricing environment. While we do not intend to abandon the Snow Lake Lithium TM Project, further exploration activities have been limited until such time as the lithium market recovers, lithium prices recover, investor interest in the lithium sector returns, and capital once again becomes available to fund exploration and development of lithium projects.
Even if we prove reserves on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project in the future, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop and market them, or that such production will be profitable. The estimation of lithium reserves is not an exact science and depends upon a number of subjective factors. Any measured, indicated or inferred resource figures presented in this Annual Report are estimates from the written reports of technical personnel and mining consultants who were contracted to assess the mining prospects. Resource estimates are a function of geological and engineering analyses that require us to forecast production costs, recoveries, and metals prices. The accuracy of such estimates depends on the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation, judgment, and experience. Estimated indicated or inferred lithium resources may not be upgraded to measured or indicated, or to probable or proved reserves, and any reserves may not be realized in actual production and our operating results may be negatively affected by inaccurate estimates.

Lithium mining and production is relatively new to the Province of Manitoba and the Snow Lake area.
Lithium mining has occurred at the Tanco mine located north east of Winnipeg, but the mining and processing of lithium ore has not previously been undertaken in or near the Snow Lake region of Manitoba. Locating the necessary experts and work force that are familiar with and trained in this particular mining process may be a challenge and our success may be hindered by the lack of historical familiarity with the processes and challenges faced in lithium mining and production.
Mineral exploration and development are subject to extraordinary operating risks. We currently do not insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which could have an adverse impact on us.
Exploration and mining operations generally involve a degree of risk. Our operations are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of lithium and uranium, including, without limitation, unusual and unexpected geologic formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, personal injury or loss of life and damage to property and environmental damage, all of which may result in possible legal liability. Although we expect that adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, mining operations are subject to hazards such as fire, rock falls, geo-mechanical issues, equipment failure or failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability. The occurrence of any of these events could result in a prolonged interruption of our operations that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of a mineral deposit may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish mineral resources and reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the exploration or development programs planned by us will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, metal prices that are highly cyclical, and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. There is no certainty that the expenditures made towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in the discovery of mineral resources or the development of commercial quantities of mineral reserves.
Our exploration projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future capital and operating costs. Mineral resource and reserve estimates and estimates of capital and operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies, which derive estimates of capital and operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades to be mined and processed, ground conditions, the configuration of the deposit, expected recovery rates of minerals from ore, estimated operating costs, and other factors. As a result, actual production, cash operating costs and economic returns could differ significantly from those estimated.
There are numerous risks associated with the development of our Projects.
Our future success will largely depend upon our ability to successfully explore, develop and manage our Projects. In particular, our success is dependent upon management’s ability to implement our strategy, to develop the project and to maintain ongoing production from the mines that are developed.
Development of any, some or all of our Projects could be delayed, experience interruptions, incur increased costs or be unable to complete due to a number of factors, including but not limited to:
●changes in the regulatory environment including environmental compliance requirements;
●non-performance by third party consultants, vendors, joint venture partners, and contractors;
●inability to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified workers;
9
●unforeseen escalation in anticipated costs of exploration and development, or delays in construction, or adverse currency movements resulting in insufficient funds being available to complete planned exploration and development;
●increases in extraction costs including energy, material and labor costs;
●changes in the supply of, demand for, and prices of, uranium or lithium;
●lack of availability of mining equipment and other exploration services;
●shortages or delays in obtaining critical mining and processing equipment;
●catastrophic events such as fires, storms or explosions;
●the breakdown or failure of equipment or processes;
●construction, procurement and/or performance of the processing plant and ancillary operations falling below expected levels of output or efficiency;
●civil unrest in and/or around the mine site and supply routes, which would adversely affect the community support of our operations;
●changes to anticipated levels of taxes and imposed royalties; and/or
●a material and prolonged deterioration in market conditions, resulting in material price erosion.
It is not uncommon for new mining developments to experience these factors during their exploration or development stages or during construction, commissioning and production start-up, or indeed for such projects to fail as a result of one or more of these factors occurring to a material extent. There can be no assurance that we will complete the various stages of exploration and development necessary in order to achieve our strategy in the timeframe pre-determined by us or at all. Any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and activities, financial condition and prospects.
Changes in technology and future demand may result in an adverse effect on the prospects of our lithium Projects.
Currently lithium is a key metal used in batteries, including those used in EVs. However, the technology pertaining to batteries, EVs and energy creation and storage is changing rapidly and there is no assurance lithium will continue to be used to the same degree as it is now, or that it will be used at all. Any decline in the use of lithium-ion batteries or technologies utilizing such batteries may result in a material and adverse effect on the prospects of our lithium Projects.
Our business operations are exposed to a high degree of risk associated with the mining industry.
Our business operations are exposed to a high degree of risk inherent in the mining sector. Risks which may occur during the exploration and development of mineral resources include environmental hazards, industrial accidents, equipment failure, import/customs delays, shortage or delays in installing and commissioning plant and equipment, metallurgical and other processing problems, seismic activity, unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, rock bursts, wall failure, cave ins or slides, burst dam banks, flooding, fires, explosions, power outages, opposition with respect to mining activities from individuals, communities, governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations, interruption to or the increase in costs of services, cave-ins and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.
Commencement of mining can also reveal mineralization or geologic formations, including higher than expected content of other minerals that can be difficult to separate from uranium or lithium metals, which can result in unexpectedly low recovery rates.
Such occurrences could cause damage to, or destruction of properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, pollution, delays, increased production costs, monetary losses and potential legal liabilities. Moreover, these factors may result in a mineral deposit, which has been mined profitably in the past to become unprofitable. They are also
10
applicable to sites not yet in production and to expanded operations. Successful mining operations will be reliant upon the availability of processing and refining facilities and secure transportation infrastructure at the rate of duty over which we may have limited or no control. Any liabilities that we incur for these risks and hazards could be significant and the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value.
Infrastructure required to carry on our business may be affected by unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure.
Exploitation of our Projects will depend to a significant degree on adequate infrastructure. In the course of developing our expected operations, assuming our exploration efforts will be successful, we may need to construct and support the construction of infrastructure, which includes permanent gas pipelines, water supplies, power, transport and logistics services which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure or any failure or unavailability in such infrastructure could materially adversely affect our operations, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to obtain or renew licenses or permits that are necessary to our operations.
In the ordinary course of business, we will be required to obtain and renew governmental licenses or permits for exploration, development, construction and commencement of mining at our Projects. Obtaining or renewing the necessary governmental licenses or permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving public hearings and costly undertakings on our part. The duration and success of our efforts to obtain and renew licenses or permits are contingent upon many variables not within our control, including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the licensing and/or permitting authorities. We may not be able to obtain or renew licenses or permits that are necessary to our operations, including, without limitation, an exploitation or mining license, or the cost to obtain or renew a license or permit may exceed what we believe we can recover from a specific Project. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing or permitting process could delay the development or impede the operation of a mine, which could adversely impact our operations and profitability.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of equity or debt financing and the achievement of profitable operations at an indeterminate time in the future. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in completing an equity or debt financing or in achieving or maintaining profitability. Our financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report do not give effect to any adjustments relating to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Black Lake Uranium Project, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project may face indigenous land claims.
The Black Lake Uranium Project , the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project may now or in the future be the subject of indigenous land claims. The legal nature of land claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on our ownership interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of indigenous rights in the area in which such Projects are located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on our operations. Even in the absence of such recognition, we may at some point be required to negotiate with, and seek the approval of holders of, such interests, and potentially provide compensation, in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the Black Lake Uranium Project, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project. There is no assurance that we will be able to establish a practical working relationship with the indigenous groups in the area which would allow us to ultimately develop the Black Lake Uranium Project, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project.
11
Volatility in lithium prices and lithium demand has made it currently commercially unfeasible for us to develop our lithium projects, and we cannot assure you when, if ever, such prices and demand will improve to a level that will make development of our lithium projects commercially feasible.
Until recently, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project constituted our sole material property. The development of our Snow Lake Lithium™ Project and our Shatford Lake Project is dependent on the continued growth of the lithium market, and the continued increased demand for lithium chemicals by emerging producers of EVs and other users of lithium-ion batteries. These producers and the related technologies are still under development and a continued sustained increase in demand is not certain.
The lithium market is currently depressed. Lithium prices continue to remain low after a stratospheric rise in 2022, followed by a precipitous 80% drop during 2023. Demand for lithium continues to be weak, and a number of major global lithium producers continue to curtail production until the lithium market and lithium prices recover. When the PEA on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project was prepared in July 2023, the price of lithium concentrate was approximately USD$3,500 per tonne. Recently, prices have hovered around the USD$800 per tonne. The dramatic drop in lithium concentrate prices has had a significant negative effect on the project economics of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project. Project economics are affected by a number of internal and external factors. Internal factors include the size, grade, throughput, cut-off grade, mine plan, infrastructure, permitting and project debt capacity of the project. External factors include the lithium market, lithium prices, supply and demand for lithium, current lithium producers, lithium development projects, and availability of exploration, development and construction financing.
In reviewing the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, we considered the following adverse internal factors:
·the scale of the project is relatively small, and it does not enjoy the economies of scale of a larger, higher-grade project;
·the mineral resource estimate is relatively small, when calculated at historical lithium prices, and would become smaller if calculated at current lithium prices;
·the grade is relatively low;
·the project is relatively remote and will require extensive infrastructure to support development and operations, including power, water, highway and rail transportation, at significant cost;
·the net present value and internal rate of return, at current lithium prices, will be reduced from those at previous lithium prices; and
·overall project economics at current lithium prices will be reduced to the point where the project will probably not generate a net present value and rate of return that would be attractive to investors, and as such would not support further exploration, development and/or construction financing.
In reviewing the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, we considered the following adverse external factors:
·the lithium market is currently depressed, and industry experts do not forecast a recovery in the near term;
·lithium prices suffered an 80% drop in 2023, have continued to drop in 2024, and have not yet shown any signs of a sustained recovery;
·In response to these lower prices, some lithium supply has already been curtailed as major global lithium producers have scaled back production until lithium prices recover;
·lithium demand remains weaker than has been previously forecast, with recovery in demand in the near term to be driven by recovery of growth in the EV market;
·competition amongst lithium exploration and development companies for projects, personnel and financing is intense; and
12
·financing will be provided to those companies whose projects have size, scale, grade, infrastructure, and project economics that are superior to others.
There is considerable uncertainty as to when demand and prices will recover. Competition amongst lithium exploration and development companies, particularly in Canada, is intense and few projects will ultimately proceed through development, permitting, financing, construction and into commercial production. At current lithium prices, only a few lithium development projects would have the size and scale such that they can be considered economic, and as a result, only a few, will be able to secure the financing necessary to be explored, developed and placed into production.
One of the principal drivers of lithium demand is the EV market. While the EV market remains strong in China, uptake of EVs has slowed in North America and major North American original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, have slowed, curtailed or abandoned EV programs, as the demand for EVs remains lower than has been previously forecast. North American OEMs are continuing to add hybrid vehicles to their product offerings, as the demand for pure EVs remains low. In addition, both North America and Europe are applying tariffs to foreign produced EVs.
As a non-revenue generating company, we are dependent upon the capital markets to raise financing to fund our exploration activities. At the present time, given the current state of the lithium market, and the state of the EV transition in North America, we believe there is little investor interest in lithium projects, and hence, little to no ability to raise financing to explore lithium projects.
There can be no guarantee that our interests in our mineral resource projects are free from any title defects.
We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure, we have proper title to the Black Lake Uranium Project, the Engo Valley Uranium Project, the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, and the Shatford Lake Project. However, there can be no guarantee that our interests in such Projects are free from any title defects, as title to mineral rights involves certain intrinsic risks due to the potential problems arising from the unclear conveyance history characteristic of many mining projects. There is also the risk that material contracts between us and relevant government authorities will be substantially modified to the detriment of us or be revoked. There can be no assurance that our rights and title interests will not be challenged or impugned by third parties.
Our mining operations are dependent on the adequate and timely supply of water, electricity or other power supply, chemicals and other critical supplies.
Our exploration programs are dependent on the adequate and timely supply of water, electricity or other power supply, chemicals and other critical supplies. If we are unable to obtain the requisite critical supplies in time and at commercially acceptable prices or if there are significant disruptions in the supply of electricity, water or other inputs to the mine site, our business performance and results of operations may experience material adverse effects.
We may experience an inability to attract or retain qualified personnel.
Our success depends to a large degree upon our ability to attract, retain and train key management personnel, as well as other technical personnel. If we are not successful in retaining or attracting such personnel, our business may be adversely affected. Furthermore, the loss of our key management personnel could materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
As our business becomes more established, we will also be required to recruit additional qualified key financial, administrative, operations and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and keep such qualified personnel. Failure to recruit and/or retain such qualified personnel, could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results from operations.
Failure to comply with federal, provincial and/or local laws and regulations could adversely affect our business.
Our mining operations are subject to various laws and regulations governing exploration, development, production, taxes, labor standards and occupational health, mine safety, protection of endangered and protected species, toxic substances and explosives use, reclamation, exports, price controls, waste disposal and use, water use, forestry, land claims of local people, and other matters. This includes periodic review and inspection of our Projects that may be conducted by applicable regulatory authorities.
13
Although the exploration activities on our current Projects have been and, we expect, will continue to be carried out in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, there is no guarantee that new laws and regulations will not be enacted or that existing laws and regulations will not be applied in a way which could limit or curtail exploration or in the future, production. New laws and regulations or amendments to current laws and regulations governing the operations and activities of mining or more stringent implementation of existing laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on us and cause increases in capital expenditures costs, or reduction in levels of exploration, development and/or production.
Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, even if inadvertent, may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. We may also be required to reimburse any parties affected by loss or damage caused by our mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines and/or penalties imposed against us for infringement of applicable laws or regulations.
Failure to comply with environmental regulation could adversely affect our business.
All phases of our operations with respect to our existing Projects will be subject to environmental regulation. Environmental legislation involves strict standards and may entail increased scrutiny, fines and penalties for non-compliance, stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a high degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Changes in environmental regulation, if any, may adversely impact our operations and future potential profitability. In addition, environmental hazards may exist on any of our current Projects that are currently unknown. We may be liable for losses associated with such hazards or may be forced to undertake extensive remedial cleanup action or to pay for governmental remedial cleanup actions, even in cases where such hazards have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties, or by the past or present owners of adjacent properties or by natural conditions. The costs of such cleanup actions may have a material adverse impact on our operations and future potential profitability.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.
We currently report our financial results under IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.
We report our financial statements under IFRS. There have been and there may in the future be certain significant differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, including differences related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, income tax and earnings per share. As a result, our financial information and reported earnings for historical or future periods could be significantly different if they were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we do not intend to provide a reconciliation between IFRS and U.S. GAAP unless it is required under applicable law. As a result, you may not be able to meaningfully compare our financial statements under IFRS with those companies that prepare financial statements under U.S. GAAP.
Our assets and operations are subject to economic, geopolitical and other uncertainties.
Economic, geopolitical and other uncertainties may negatively affect our business. Economic conditions globally are beyond our control. In addition, the outbreak of hostilities and armed conflicts between countries can create geopolitical uncertainties that may affect both local and global economies. Downturns in the economy or geopolitical uncertainties may cause future customers to delay or cancel projects, reduce their overall capital or operating budgets or reduce or cancel orders which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements.
14
In addition, the financial markets can experience significant price and value fluctuations that can affect the market prices of equity securities and other companies in ways that are unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market fluctuations, as well as economic conditions generally, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
As we face intense competition in the mineral exploration and exploitation industry, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with other companies.
The mining industry, and the uranium and lithium mining sectors in particular, are very competitive. Our competition is from larger, established mining companies with greater liquidity, greater access to credit and other financial resources, newer or more efficient equipment, lower cost structures, more effective risk management policies and procedures and/or a greater ability than us to withstand losses. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new laws or regulations or emerging technologies, or devote greater resources to the expansion or efficiency of their operations than we can. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and gain significant market share to our detriment.
As a result of this competition, we may have to compete for financing and be unable to acquire financing on terms we consider acceptable. We may also have to compete with the other mining companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees or we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects as well as our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended, which may cause us to cease operations as a company.
Our executive officers are engaged in other business activities and, accordingly, may not devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may affect our ability to conduct operations.
Our Chief Executive Officer is an employee and devotes substantially all of his time to our business. Some of our other executive officers are engaged as consultants under independent contractor agreements rather than as employees and, as such, they have been and are involved in other business activities and have consulting clients in addition to working for us. Although we expect that as our business operations ramp up such executive officers will devote substantially all of their time to our business, as a result of the other business endeavors that they are currently engaged in, such executive officers may not be able to devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct our ongoing operations. In addition, management of our company may be periodically interrupted or delayed as a result of these officers’ other business interests.
We may be subject to potential conflicts of interest.
We may be subject to potential conflicts of interests, as certain directors of our company are, and may continue to be, engaged in the mining industry through their participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures, which are potential competitors of our company. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions in investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of our company. Our directors and officers with conflicts of interest will be subject to the procedures set out in the related Canadian law and regulations.
We may not meet cost estimates.
A change in the timing of any projected cash flows due to capital funding or, once in production, production shortfalls or labor disruptions would result in delays in receipt of such cash flows and in using such cash to fund operating activities and, as applicable, reduce debt levels. This could result in additional loans to finance capital expenditures in the future.
The level of capital and operating cost estimates which are used for determining and obtaining financing and other purposes are based on certain assumptions and are fundamentally subject to considerable uncertainties. It is very likely that actual results for our Projects will differ from our current projections, estimates and assumptions, and these differences may be significant. Moreover, experience from actual mining may identify new or unexpected conditions that could decrease operational activities, and/or increase capital and/or operating costs above, the current estimates.
15
If actual results are less favorable than we currently estimate, our business, results from operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
We may pursue opportunities to acquire complementary businesses, which could dilute our shareholders’ ownership interests, incur expenditure and have uncertain returns.
We may seek to expand through future acquisitions of either companies or properties, however, there can be no assurance that we will locate attractive acquisition candidates, or that we will be able to acquire such candidates on economically acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will not be restricted from completing acquisitions pursuant to contractual arrangements. Future acquisitions may require us to expend significant amounts of cash, resulting in our inability to use these funds for other business or may involve significant issuances of equity. Future acquisitions may also require substantial management time commitments, and the negotiation of potential acquisitions and the integration of acquired operations could disrupt our business by diverting management and employees’ attention away from day-to-day operations. The difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically diverse organizations, integrating personnel with disparate backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures.
Any future acquisition involves potential risks, including, among other things: (i) mistaken assumptions and incorrect expectations about mineral properties, mineral resources and costs; (ii) an inability to successfully integrate any operation our company acquires; (iii) an inability to recruit, hire, train or retain qualified personnel to manage and operate the operations acquired; (iv) the assumption of unknown liabilities; (v) limitations on rights to indemnity from the seller; (vi) mistaken assumptions about the overall cost of equity or debt; (vii) unforeseen difficulties operating acquired projects, which may be in geographic areas new to us; and (viii) the loss of key employees and/or key relationships at the acquired project.
At times, future acquisition candidates may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that we may fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition. If we consummate any future acquisitions with unanticipated liabilities or that fail to meet expectations, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may be materially adversely affected. The potential impairment or complete write-off of goodwill and other intangible assets related to any such acquisition may reduce our overall earnings and could negatively affect our balance sheet.
Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of our business.
Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of our business. Such litigation may be brought from time to time in the future against us. Defense and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this report, we are not currently subject to material litigation, nor have we received an indication that any material claims are forthcoming. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, we could become involved in material legal claims or other proceedings with other parties in the future. The results of litigation or any other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. The cost of defending such claims may take away from management’s time and effort and if we are incapable of resolving such disputes favorably, the resultant litigation could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results from operation.
Adverse outcomes in litigation matters that arise in the future, could negatively affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings that the Company may be involved in the future, is difficult to assess or quantify. Defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the litigation process could take away from the time and effort of the Company’s management and could force the Company to pay substantial legal fees. Any conclusion of these matters in a manner adverse to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flows. For example, we may be required to pay substantial damages, incur payments of fines and penalties, suffer a significant adverse impact on our reputation, and management’s attention and resources may be diverted from other priorities, including the execution of business plans and strategies that are important to our ability to grow our business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we do not have sufficient funds to settle or pay any damages and costs with respect to any lawsuits, this would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
16
Land reclamation requirements may be burdensome.
Land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on companies with mining operations or mineral exploration companies in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance. Reclamation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents or reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance landforms and vegetation. In order to carry out reclamation obligations imposed on us in connection with exploration, potential development and production activities, we must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on exploration and development programs. If we are required to carry out unanticipated reclamation work, our financial position could be adversely affected.
The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, and we incur significant costs as a result of being a public company.
As a public company, we face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which requires that we file annual and other reports with respect to our business and financial condition, as well as the rules and regulations implemented by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, and the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, each of which imposes additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. As a public company, we are required to, among other things:
●prepare and file annual and other reports in compliance with the federal securities laws;
●expand the roles and duties of our board of directors and committees thereof and management;
●hire additional financial and accounting personnel and other experienced accounting and finance staff with the expertise to address complex accounting matters applicable to public companies;
●institute more comprehensive financial reporting and disclosure compliance procedures;
●involve and retain, outside counsel and accountants to assist us with the activities listed above;
●build and maintain an investor relations function;
●establish new internal policies, including those relating to trading in our securities and disclosure controls and procedures;
●comply with the initial listing and maintenance requirements of Nasdaq; and
●comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We expect these rules and regulations, and any future changes in laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, which have created uncertainty for public companies, to continue to incur legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming and costly than for private companies. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases, due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Our investment in compliance with existing and evolving regulatory requirements will result in increased administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
17
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Shares
Risks and uncertainties related to our common shares include, but are not limited to, the following:
We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.
Although our common shares are listed on Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial, liquidity, and minimum bid price criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate Nasdaq’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our common shares may be delisted.
On December 7, 2023, we received a written notification from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common shares had been below US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we had a period of 180 calendar days (or until June 4, 2024) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. On January 11, 2024, we received written notification from the Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common shares had been above US$1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days.
Subsequently, on May 24, 2024, we received another written notification from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common shares had been below US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we have a period of 180 calendar days (or until November 20, 2024) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common shares must meet or exceed US$1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day period. In the event we do not regain compliance by November 20, 2024, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares (US$1.0 million) and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price and we provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If it appears to Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible for additional time to regain compliance, our common shares will be subject to delisting by Nasdaq. We may still appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist our common shares, and during any appeal process, our common shares would continue to trade on Nasdaq. We cannot assure you that we will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by November 20, 2024 or qualify for an additional 180 calendar day grace period in the event we are unable to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement by November 20, 2024. In the event of a Nasdaq determination to delist our common shares, we cannot assure you that our appeal, if any, against such determination, will be successful.
Should we regain compliance, we cannot assure you that we will not, in the future, fail to comply with Nasdaq’s requirements to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq, or that we will be able to regain compliance in the event of any such non-compliance. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing.
A delisting of our common shares from Nasdaq may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common shares and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common shares. The delisting of our common shares could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
The market prices for securities of mining companies, including our securities, historically have been and may continue to be volatile.
The market prices for securities of mining companies, including our securities, historically have been and may continue to be volatile. Future developments concerning us or our industry, including downward fluctuations in the price of uranium or lithium, may have a significant impact on the market price of the common shares.
There may not be an active liquid market for our common shares and there is no guarantee that an active trading market for our common shares will be maintained.
Prior to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq in November 2021, there was no public market for our common shares. There may not be an active liquid market for our common shares. There is no guarantee that an active trading market for our common shares will be maintained. Investors may not be able to sell their common shares quickly or at the latest market price if trading in the common shares is not active. The lack of an active trading market may result
18
in a decline of the prices at which our securities trade, meaning that you may experience a decrease in the value of your common shares regardless of our operating performance or prospects.
The market price of our common shares may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The trading price of our common shares has been, and may continue to be, subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those described in this “—Risk Factors” section. In addition, the financial markets can experience significant price and value fluctuations that can affect the market prices of equity securities in companies in ways that are unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market fluctuations, as well as economic conditions generally, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
Factors that may cause our common shares to fluctuate include, without limitation:
●actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;
●increases in market interest rates that lead investors of our common shares to demand a higher investment return;
●changes in earnings estimates;
●changes in market valuations of similar companies;
●changes in the supply, demand, and prices, of uranium and lithium;
●actions or announcements by our competitors;
●adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
●additions or departures of key personnel;
●actions by shareholders;
●announcements by governments, or general market confidence;
●results of our exploration or development efforts;
●general economic, industry and market conditions;
●sales or other issuances of securities by us or the expectation that such sales or other issuances will occur;
●our ability to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq;
●speculation about us or our business in the media, online forums, or investment community; and
●other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.
Volatility in the market prices of our securities may prevent investors from being able to sell their securities at or above their purchase price. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.
In addition, in the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their share price. This type of litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could seriously harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
19
Because we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common shares, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common shares for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common shares in the near future. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that may restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends on our common shares. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Further, under the terms of The Corporations Act (Manitoba), or the MCA, we are prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if our board has reasonable grounds for believing that we are, or would after the payment be, unable to pay our liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of our assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of our liabilities and stated capital. We may not pay any dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common shares will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common shares could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our common shares may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We may not obtain further research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no further securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common shares could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by more analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our shares, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common shares could be negatively affected.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions against us or our management named in the report based on foreign laws.
We are incorporated in the Province of Manitoba, Canada under the MCA. We conduct our operations outside the United States and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and executive officers and the experts named in this Annual Report reside outside the United States, and a significant amount of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, service of process upon such persons may be difficult or impossible to effect within the United States. Furthermore, because a substantial portion of our assets, and substantially all the assets of our directors and officers and the Canadian experts named herein, are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, against us or any of such persons may not be collectible within the United States. In Canada, provincial and territorial reciprocal enforcement of judgments legislation sets out the procedure for registering foreign judgments and this procedure varies depending on the province or territory of the enforcing court. If a foreign judgment originates from a jurisdiction not captured by the applicable provincial or territorial reciprocal enforcement of judgments or enforcement of foreign judgments legislation, the foreign judgment may be capable of enforcement at common law and the party seeking to enforce the foreign judgment must commence new proceedings in the domestic or enforcing court.
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.
Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
●the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;
●the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
●the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
20
●the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.
We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a semi-annual basis as press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
We are subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies and our shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take, have taken, and intend to take, advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.235 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which could occur if the market value of our common shares that are held by non-affiliates is US$700 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Because we are subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, our shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive if we elect to rely on these exemptions, or if taking advantage of these exemptions would result in less active trading or more volatility in the price of our common shares.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our shares.
We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow the governance practices of our home country in lieu of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. Certain corporate governance practices in Canada, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. For instance, we are not required to:
●have a compensation committee and a nominating/corporate governance committee to be comprised solely of “independent directors;” or
●hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year.
We currently follow our home country practice that (i) does not require us to seek shareholder approval for amending our share incentive plans; (ii) does not require us to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year; (iii) does not require us to have a nominating/corporate governance
21
committee composed entirely of independent directors; and (iv) does not require us to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Consequently, we are exempt from independent director requirements of Rule 5605 (d) and (e) of Nasdaq listing standards, except for the requirements under subsection (b)(2) thereof pertaining to executive sessions of independent directors. Accordingly, our investors may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
A single major shareholder owns a significant amount of our common shares. As a result, although less than a majority of our outstanding common shares, it will have the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval.
As of October 22, 2024, a single major shareholder, Nova Minerals Limited, or Nova, owned approximately 23.07% of our outstanding common shares. Although Nova does not own a majority of our outstanding common shares, it may have the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval including:
●election of our board of directors;
●removal of any of our directors;
●any amendments to our certificate or articles of incorporation; and
●adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.
In addition, this concentration of ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our share price or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our share price.
Future issuances of our common shares or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common shares, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common shares or the trading of outstanding common shares, could cause the market price of our common shares to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings.
Future issuances of our common shares or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common shares, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common shares or the trading of outstanding common shares, could cause the market price of our common shares to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our securities, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our common shares. In all events, future issuances of our common shares would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of any such lock-up agreements, it is likely that the lock-up provisions in such agreements will include a provision that the lock-up terms may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our common shares may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our common shares. As of the date of this Annual Report, there are no existing lock up agreements with respect to our common shares.
Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred shares, which could rank senior to our common shares for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common shares.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common shares. Moreover, if we issue preferred shares, the holders of such preferred shares could be entitled to preferences over holders of common shares in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred shares in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common shares must bear the risk that any future offerings
22
we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common shares.
There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in our shares.
In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (ii) on average at least 50% of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.
Although we do not believe that we were a PFIC our current taxable year, based on the expected composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets, including goodwill, our determination is based on an interpretation of complex provisions of the law, which are not addressed in a significant number of administrative pronouncements or rulings by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our conclusions regarding our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year will not be challenged by the IRS and, if challenged, upheld in appropriate proceedings. In addition, because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year. Because we may continue to hold a substantial amount of cash and cash equivalents, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of our common shares, which may fluctuate considerably, we may be a PFIC in future taxable years. Even if we determine that we are not a PFIC for a taxable year, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our conclusion and that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis.
If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor holds shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. investor.
The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Current and prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on their purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to our common shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the common shares of a PFIC.

Recent Developments
On July 17, 2023, we announced the appointment of Frank Wheatley as our Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect. Mr. Wheatley brings more than 35 years of mining and resource industry experience. He also has extensive domestic and international experience with development and operating gold, copper and lithium companies, including project development, project financing, environmental permitting in accordance with all international best practice and ESG standards, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
On August 9, 2023, we obtained a Technical Report Summary of Initial Assessment, dated August 9, 2023, with an effective date of July 12, 2023, or the PEA, compliant with Regulation S-K 1300, or S-K 1300, assessing the potential mineral resources of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project. The PEA was prepared by ABH Engineering Inc. of Vancouver, BC in accordance with the SEC requirements under S-K 1300. The PEA considered a mine plan consisting of underground mining on both deposits, with an initial open pit on the Grass River deposit. Metallurgical testwork has demonstrated that conventional lithium process technologies of dense media separation and floatation will provide robust recoveries. The PEA contemplated that tailings would ultimately be backfilled underground, with no permanent tailing facility above ground. The PEA also looked at the possibility of direct shipping ore, or DSO, as an early cash flow generating opportunity to use revenue from DSO sales to offset initial capital costs to construct the mine and processing facility. The PEA is preliminary in nature and is intended to provide an initial, high-level review of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project's economic potential and design options. The projected economic results include numerous assumptions and are based on measured, indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates for the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, as specified in the PEA. Inferred resources are considered to be too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Unlike mineral reserves, mineral resource estimates do not have demonstrated economic viability.
On September 21, 2023, we closed our best-efforts flow-through financing through the issuance of 2,133,979 common shares at a price of C$3.6117 (or approximately US$2.67) per common share, for gross proceeds of C$7,707,292 (or approximately US$5,697,710), or the September 2023 Offering. The proceeds of the September 2023 Offering was used for exploration activities on our Canadian mineral projects. The shares were offered for purchase and sale to purchasers in the province of Manitoba on a private placement basis under Canadian law. The September 2023 Offering was registered under applicable U.S. securities laws pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 filed with, and previously declared effective by, the SEC under the Securities Act.

On October 5, 2023, the Company announced the final set of results from the 2022/2023 winter-spring drill program at its 100% owned Snow Lake Lithium™ Project. For a summary of the update, please refer to the press release dated October 5, 2023, which can be found on EDGAR under the Company’s profile.
On December 8, 2023, we announced that we had received a written notification from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common shares had been below US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. On January 12, 2024, we announced that on January 11, 2024, we received a written notification from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common shares had been above US$1.00 per share for the prior 10 consecutive business days.
The Company commenced proceedings in 2023 in Manitoba and Ontario requesting a re-assessment of legal accounts issued by the Company’s former legal advisors. These proceedings were resolved in 2023 resulting in collective payments to the Company of approximately $150,000.
On January 30, 2024, we announced that we had signed an option agreement with ACME Lithium Inc., (“ACME”), pursuant to which ACME granted us the option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the mineral claims held by ACME at its Manitoba lithium pegmatite project areas, located in south eastern Manitoba, Canada, or the Shatford Lake Project.
We may exercise the option by paying a total cash amount of C$800,000 and incurring a total of C$1.8 million in exploration and development expenditures, in each case over a two-year period.
Once we have earned a 90% undivided interest in the Shatford Lake Project, and completed a positive feasibility study, a joint venture between us and ACME will be formed for further development, the detailed market standard terms and conditions of which will be agreed at the time of formation of the joint venture.
Upon formation of the joint venture: (i) we will hold a 90% interest, and ACME will hold 10% interest in the joint venture, (ii) our interest will be a 90% participating interest in the joint venture, but will fund 100% of all expenditures until the completion of a positive feasibility study, and (iii) ACME will retain a 10% free carried interest, without the need to contribute to expenditures until the completion of a positive feasibility study on the Shatford Lake Project.
The Shatford Lake Project is comprised of 37 mineral claims located over three project areas, being Shatford Lake, Birse Lake, and Cat-Euclid Lake, totaling approximately 17,000 acres. The project is located in the Bird River Greenstone Belt in southeastern Manitoba, Canada. The region hosts hundreds of individual pegmatite bodies, many of which are classified as complex rare-element lithium-cesium-tantalum, or LCT, pegmatites. Thirty-one of the mineral claims are contiguous to the south of Sinomine Corporation’s Tanco Mine, an LCT producer since 1969.
We do not consider the ShatfordLake Project material at this time.
Geological Setting of Shatford Project
The Shatford Project straddles a 15 kilometers long structural trend of the Greer-Shatford Shear Zone with numerous pegmatite dykes and favorable host rocks. It is situated in the southern limb of the Bird River greenstone belt in southeastern Manitoba. The region hosts hundreds of individual pegmatite bodies, many of which are classified as complex rare-element LTC pegmatites - known to account for a quarter of the world's lithium production.
The northeast corner of the Shatford Lake Project borders the mineral lease of the Tanco mine, with the Buck, Pelgi, and Dibs pegmatites nearby.
Tanco Mine
Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada Ltd. ("Tanco") is 100% owned and operated by Sinomine (Hong Kong) Rare Metals Resource Co., and operates the Tanco mine located on the northwest shore of Bernic Lake, Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. The Tanco mine pegmatite orebody was discovered in the late 1920's and the Tanco mine has been in commercial operation producing lithium in Manitoba for more than 50 years. In addition to lithium concentrate for the lithium battery market, the Tanco mine produces cesium-based products for the North American market.

On May 23, 2024, we announced that field crews had initiated the 2024 exploration program on the Shatford Lake Project.
2024 Exploration Program
We, together with Critical Discoveries, a private geological services consulting company, designed a multi-phase exploration program for 2024 for the Shatford Lake Project, which includes:
·compiling and analyzing all past exploration data generated by ACME, including all geophysical and geochemical data, as well as past drilling results, in order to identify targets for field work;
·initial prospecting and mapping, focusing on the northwest corner of the Shatford Lake Project and then expanding to cover the balance of the project. Initial prospecting activities to date have included the discovery of numerous pegmatites under heavy overburden. Samples have been taken and submitted to an assay lab for analysis;
·depending on assay results and receipts of permits, a program of up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, spread over approximately 10 holes of approximately 200 meters each, and further dependent upon appropriate drill target identification from the previous phases of the program; and
·compilation and evaluation of all field data, assay results, and drill results from the 2024 exploration program.
Initial prospecting and mapping focused on the northwest corner of the Shatford Lake Project and then expanded to cover the balance of the project.
Initial prospecting activities included the discovery of multiple pegmatites under heavy overburden. Samples have been taken and submitted to the assay lab for analysis.
On September 4, 2024 and October 16, 2024, we provided further updates on the exploration program on the Shatford Lake Project. The 2024 prospecting/reconnaissance program has been successfully completed. There was a significant discovery of a >
Results included the discovery of numerous pegmatites under heavy overburden.
Phase 3 is intended to be a program of up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, spread over approximately 10 holes of approximately 200 meters each, and will not be completed during 2024 as permits are not yet in place and the weather window for drilling has largely closed. Phase 4 will be compilation and evaluation of all field data, assay results, and drill results from and drill program.

Muskrat Dam Project
On February 5, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Muskrat Dam Option Agreement”) with a private Manitoba company (“Manco”) to acquire a 90% undivided interest in a group of mineral claims in the Muskrat
26
Dam Lake area of Western Ontario, near Kenora and the border with Manitoba (the “Muskrat Dam Project”). Pursuant to the Muskrat Dam Option Agreement, Manco granted the Company the Option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the Muskrat Dam Project upon the following terms and conditions:
·Cash payment of $50,000;
·Issuance of an aggregate of 500,000 common shares; and
·Issuance of an aggregate of 2,000,000 warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares at a price of USD $1.50 per share for a period of 5 years.
As part of its continued transition to a clean energy company, the acquisition of its two uranium projects, the current state of the lithium market, and the grass-roots nature of the project, the Company decided that the Muskrat Dam Project did not fit with the Company’s strategic plan. Accordingly, the option agreement was amended and terminated on June 28, 2024, and the Company issued an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares in consideration for the termination. The 2,000,000 warrants previously issued were cancelled.
On February 14, 2024, we issued 60,000 common shares upon the exercise of 60,000 restricted share units, or RSUs, previously granted to various directors.
On February 20, 2024, we issued 325,000 common shares as a result of a debt settlement.
In February 2024, our company, OG Acquisition 2 Corp., a private British Columbia company, or OG, Engo Valley Pty Ltd, a private Australian company, or Engo Valley, and Namibia Minerals and Investment Holdings (Proprietary) Limited, a private Namibian company, or NMIH, entered into a binding letter of intent, as amended by agreements dated March 15, 2024 and June 30, 2024, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire up to 100% of Engo Valley, which holds an 85% interest in NMIH, which in turn, is the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in Exclusive Prospecting License 5887, or EPL-5887. EPL 5887 hosts the Engo Valley Uranium Project. EPL-5887 covers an area of 69,530 hectares, is valid until February 12, 2026, and covers base and rare metals, industrial minerals, non-nuclear fuel mineral, nuclear fuel minerals, precious metals and precious stones.
On February 21, 2024, we announced that we had begun our transition to a diverse clean energy company with exclusive option to acquire interests in the Engo Valley Uranium Project.
The Engo Valley Uranium Project is located in the Skeleton Coast, in the Opuwo District of the Kunene Region, along the coast of northwest Namibia, approximately 600 kilometers north of Swakopmund, Namibia. Uranium mineralization was discovered in 1973 and exploration was conducted intermittently by Gencor between 1974 and 1980. The project is accessible from the south via 190km of desert track roads from Mowe Bay, via the Sarusas mine. To the east there are unconfirmed track roads that connect the project area to the settlement of Orupembe.
EPL 5887 is registered in the name of the NMIH. The License was granted for industrial minerals, non-nuclear fuel minerals, nuclear fuel minerals, precious metals and precious stones, which includes uranium. On March 6, 2024, we announced that the 5887 License had been renewed by the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy and is valid until February 12, 2026.
An environmental clearance certificate was issued by the Namibian Ministry of the Environment to the NMIH for a period of three years and is valid until at least August 15, 2024, permitting exploration work on the License. Application for renewal of the environmental clearance certificate has been made to the Namibian Ministry of the Environment, and is pending renewal.
In July 2024, we entered into a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of Engo Valley, or the Engo Valley Shareholders, Engo Valley, OG, and NMIH, to acquire Engo Valley in two stages, as follows:
(i)We acquired an initial 80% undivided interest in Engo Valley, which represents a 68% undivided interest in NMIH, or the First Stage Interest, by (a) paying to OG, upon the execution of the binding letter of intent, a cash amount of US$250,000, (b) incurring exploration expenditures of a minimum of US$200,000 on the Engo Valley Uranium Project on or prior to July 31, 2024, and (c) issuing to Engo Valley and its designees, on August 7, 2024 (being the closing date of the First Stage Interest), an aggregate of 2,024,496 of our common shares, or the First Stage Shares, being the common shares calculated by dividing US$2.0 million by the 5-day volume weighted average price of our common shares as of a specified date (which was US$0.9879). In accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, 50% of the First Stage Shares
27
issued to Engo Valley and its designees have vested. The remaining 50% of the First Stage Shares have been placed in escrow, and will vest and be released from escrow upon the completion of an SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate on the Engo Valley Uranium Project; provided, that such unvested First Stage Shares will be cancelled if the SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate is not completed on or before June 30, 2025.
(ii)We will acquire an additional 20% undivided interest in Engo Valley, which represents a 17% undivided interest in NMIH, or the Second Stage Interest, upon our incurring additional exploration expenditures of a minimum of US$800,000 on the Engo Valley Uranium Project on or before June 30, 2025; provided that any expenditures we incurred in excess of the US200,000 minimum exploration expenditures in connection with our acquisition of the First Stage Interest will be credited against the expenditure commitment for the Second Stage Interest.
Our acquisition of the First Stage Interest was completed on August 7, 2024.
After our acquiring of the Second Stage Interest, we will be obligated to make the following payments to Engo Valley, in the form of our common shares, upon the achievement of the following milestones:
(i)Milestone Payment No. 1: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 10 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 250 parts per million, or ppm, U3O8, we will issue to Engo Valley or as it directs, an aggregate of 1,030,927 of our common shares, being the common shares calculated by dividing US$1,000,000 by the closing price of our common shares on February 20, 2024, as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market (which was USD$0.97); and
(ii)Milestone Payment No. 2: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 25 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 250 ppm U3O8, we will issue to Engo Valley or as it directs, an aggregate of 1,030,927 of our common shares, being the common shares calculated by dividing US$1,000,000 by the closing price of our common shares on February 20, 2024, as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market (which was USD$0.97).
We have designed a multi-phase exploration program for 2024 for the Engo Valley Uranium Project, which includes:
·analysis of all airborne survey data previously flown by the Namibian Government over the project area, together with all other historical exploration reports and data on the project area on file with the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy;
·topographical survey of the project site;
·locating all historic drill collars from Gencor’s 1970 drilling campaign;
·radon cup survey of all historical targets, as well as a number of new targets, in order to verify the historical airborne survey data and to confirm both historic and new drill targets;
·an initial 1,500-meter reverse circulation drill program to twin the historical drill holes, and to begin an in-fill grid pattern between the historical drill holes; and
·downhole radiometrics on each of the new drill holes.
Exploration field crews began mobilizing to site in May 2024 in order to undertake the field portion of Phase 1 of the program. Results from the radon cup survey, the initial phase of drilling, and the downhole gamma logging, will inform a second round of drilling. The two phases of drilling are designed to both test the validity of the various exploration targets and to produce an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate.
On June 21, 2024, we provided a further update on the exploration program underway on the Engo Valley Uranium Project.
28
The two initial components of the 2024 field program, (i) a topographical survey of the project site and (ii) locating all historic drill collars from Gencor's 1970 drilling campaign, had been completed.
The initial phase of a RadonX™ cup survey, where a total of 1,752 radon cups were deployed at a line and cup spacing of 400 meters and 200 meters, respectively, over a survey area of approximately 139 square kilometers, was initiated in late May and completed in early June
The initial phase of this survey successfully identified potentially uraniferous areas indicated by anomalous, and highly anomalous, radon flux. The anomalous zones within the northern portion of the survey area correlate well with historical targets identified by Gencor. The increased extent of these anomalies beyond those identified by Gencor, indicate the potential for extensions to the mineralization delineated by Gencor. The large anomalous area in the southern portion of the survey also correlates well with targets and mineralization identified by Gencor.
Based on these positive results, field crews deployed an infill RadonX™ cup survey over these anomalous areas every 100 meters, along 200-meter spaced survey lines, in order to more accurately identify targets for drill testing.
On July 25, 2024, we announced that after the initial phase of the radon cup survey, a second in-fill radon cup survey was deployed focusing on identified uranium anomalies. With results from both phases of the radon cup survey in hand, drill targets were finalized. The two phases of drilling were designed to both test the validity of the various exploration targets and to produce an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate.
On October 22, 2024, we announced the commencement of drilling on the Engo Valley Uranium Project in Namibia, which consists of a two-phase drilling program designed to confirm the existence, and to delineate the extent, of historically documented uranium mineralization. The first phase consists of approximately 1,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling, to both twin and initiate an in-fill grid pattern between the historical drill holes. Downhole radiometrics will be undertaken on each new drill hole, with initial results expected shortly after drilling is completed. A second phase of drilling, consisting of approximately 2,100 meters of reverse circulation drilling, will be undertaken after the first phase to expand the infill grid with spacing sufficient to produce an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate.
In May 2024, we entered into a share purchase agreement with the Global Uranium Shareholders and Global Uranium to acquire Global Uranium. Global Uranium is party to a mineral property option agreement with Doctors Investment, dated March 24, 2024, pursuant to which Global Uranium can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project, as explained further below.
Doctors Investment Group Ltd., a private British Columbia company, or Doctors Investment, is the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in the mineral claims comprising the Black Lake Uranium Project.
Pursuant to the share purchase agreement we agreed to acquire Global Uranium for the following consideration:
·Payment by us to Global Uranium of an amount of C$50,000, in cash, upon the execution of the letter of intent relating to the acquisition, which amount has been paid;

The Black Lake Uranium Project is located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada, 55 kilometers (or approximately 34 miles) to the northeast of the town of Stoney Rapids, Saskatchewan, Canada. It consists of 20 mining claims covering 18,908 hectares and is divided into four projects, namely, Higginson Lake, Charlebois Lake, Fisher Hayes and Spreckley Lake.
Uranium mineralization was discovered in 1950 and exploration was conducted intermittently by a number of companies during the 1950's and 1970's. The Black Lake Uranium Project is considered to be an exploration stage project with historical, non-modern mining code compliant uranium resources, that would benefit from modern exploration techniques and technology for uranium exploration.
In the Black Lake Uranium Project, uranium mineralization occurs in the local geology consisting of a series of pegmatitic and migmatitic rocks, conformably intermixed with metasedimentary units overlying a granitic gneiss basement. These pegmatitic and migmatitic rocks are found to be locally mineralized with uranium-bearing minerals.
The bedrock in the Black Lake area is composed of an ancient precambrian sedimentary assemblage now folded and fractured and highly metamorphosed by the later granitic intrusive masses. The sedimentary assemblage is thoroughly recrystallized, generally pronounced banded and most are strongly gneissoid or schistose. Pegmatites and related
30
migmatites are closely related and mineralogically similar to the granite, but formed later. They form as dykes and sills and are spatially related to the granite - granite gneiss contact with the metasediments. The area is structurally complex.
Black Lake and the surrounding area is known for its uranium and to a lesser extent molybdenum mineralization in pegmatites and migmatite which occurs as lens like, and possibly en-echelon type bodies within dykes and sills. Radioactivity can be traced continuously along strike over several kilometers. Radioactive minerals of most of the mineralized pegmatites and migmatites are primary accessory constituents; however, some are sheared, while others are injected via hydrothermal solutions.
The Black Lake Uranium Project underwent significant exploration during the 1950's and 1970's by a number of companies. The historic programs focused on Higginson Lake and Charlebois Lake and confirmed 28 historic uranium showings. Prior work included a variety of geophysical, geochemical and drilling programs. A total of 13 SMDI (Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index) sites have been recorded on the Higginson Lake Project. The Charlebois Project has extensive uranium showings and in addition to mapping, surveying, trenching and a number of shallow drill holes completed during the 1950's.
Fisher Hayes and Spreckley Lake were also subject to scintillometer surveys, trenching and diamond drilling during the 1950's.
On July 24, 2024, the Company provided an update on its Black Lake Uranium Project.
2024 Exploration Program
We have designed a multi-phase exploration program for 2024 for the Black Lake Uranium Project, which includes:
·compiling, digitizing and reviewing all historical exploration plans, maps, geological reports, survey reports, assessment reports, all previous geologic, radiometric, and scintillometer surveys, assay results from prior diamond drilling programs on the Higginson Lake, Charlebois Lake and Spreckley Lake project areas from prior companies’ exploration programs in the 1950’s and 1970’s;
·an airborne survey over the entire Black Lake Uranium Project area;
·upon receipt of permits, a program of prospecting and mapping and ground geophysics, focusing on areas of known mineralization, in order to assist in locating high-value drill targets; and
·upon receipt of permits, a program of diamond drilling, which is intended to be a program of up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, spread over approximately 10 holes of approximately 200 meters each, dependent upon appropriate drill target identification from prior phases of the program. Based upon successful drilling, the objective of the 2024 work program would be to produce an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate.
On May 8, 2024, we held our annual general and special meeting of our shareholders, or the 2024 Annual Meeting, at which our shareholders passed a special resolution authorizing and approving our continuance from the Province of Manitoba into the Province of Ontario, or the Continuance, under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), or the OBCA, and to effect, at such time as our board deems appropriate, but in any event no later than three years after the 2024 Annual Meeting, such Continuance in accordance with the MCA, and the OBCA, subject to our board of directors’ authority to decide not to proceed with the Continuance.
If the Continuance is effected, we will become a corporation under the laws of the Province of Ontario as if we had been incorporated under the OBCA. While the Continuance, if effected, will not, by itself, result in any change of our business or our assets or liabilities, or in the persons who constitute our board of directors or management, it will affect certain rights of our shareholders as they currently exist under the MCA. Consequently, you should consult your legal advisors regarding the implications of our effecting the Continuance, prior to making an investment decision with respect to our common shares or other securities. A comparative summary of certain differences between the MCA and the OBCA is set forth in our management information circular for the 2024 Annual Meeting, dated March 28, 2024, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on April 11, 2024. Such summary is not a
31
comprehensive review of the two statutes, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text both statutes and the regulations thereunder.
At the 2024 Annual Meeting, our shareholders also passed a special resolution authorizing and approving the consolidation of our issued and outstanding common shares at a consolidation ratio to be determined by our board of directors, at its sole discretion, and to effect, at such time as our board of directors deems appropriate, but in any event no later than three years after the 2024 Annual Meeting, a share consolidation of all of our issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of such determined consolidation ratio, subject to our board of directors’ authority to decide not to proceed with the consolidation.
At the 2024 Annual Meeting, our shareholders also passed a special resolution to authorize our board of directors to amend our articles to change our current name to a name to be decided by our board of directors, in its sole discretion, and to effect such name change, at such time as our board of directors deems appropriate, but in any event no later than three years after the 2024 Annual Meeting, subject to our board of directors’ authority to decide not to proceed with the name change.
On May 24, 2024, we announced that we had received a written notification from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common shares had been below US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we have a period of 180 calendar days (or until November 20, 2024) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. See “Risk Factors—We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common shares on Nasdaq” for additional details.
Effective June 30, 2024, our prior chief financial officer, Keith Li, resigned from his position. In connection therewith, Kyle Nazareth was appointed as our Interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective July 1, 2024. Kyle Nazareth became our Interim Chief Financial Officer on July 1, 2024.
On July 5, 2024, we announced that geopolitical events continue to shape both the uranium and lithium markets, with the uranium market showing considerable strength, and the lithium market continuing to show weakness. Given the current state of the uranium and lithium markets, our primary focus over the next year will be to advance the exploration of our two uranium projects, while taking a slower, more careful approach to exploring our two lithium projects. In the same corporate update, we announced that due to a number of factors, including warmer than normal winter weather conditions in Northern Manitoba during early 2024, and the current state of the lithium market, we did not undertake our planned winter drilling campaign. During 2024, we will complete our second year of environmental baseline data collection. Additional exploration, including additional infill drilling, and drilling of the open extensions of both the Thompson Brothers and Grass River deposits, will be limited during 2024 due to a number of factors including depressed lithium prices which continue to remain low after a stratospheric rise in 2022, followed by a precipitous 80% drop during 2023. Demand for lithium continues to be weak, and a number of major global lithium producers continue to curtail production until the lithium market and lithium prices recover.
When we obtained the PEA in July 2023, the price of lithium concentrate was approximately USD$3,500 per tonne. Recently, prices have hovered around the USD$800 to USD$1,000 per tonne. The dramatic drop in lithium concentrate prices has a significant negative effect on the project economics of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project.
Project economics are affected by a number of internal and external factors. Internal factors include the size, grade, throughput, cut-off grade, mine plan, infrastructure, permitting and project debt capacity of the project. External factors include the lithium market, lithium prices, supply and demand for lithium, current lithium producers, lithium development projects, and availability of exploration, development and construction financing.
In reviewing the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, we considered the following adverse internal factors:
·the scale of the project is relatively small, and it does not enjoy the economies of scale of a larger, higher-grade project;
·the mineral resource estimate is relatively small, when calculated at historical lithium prices, and would become smaller if calculated at current lithium prices;
·the grade is relatively low;
32
·the project is relatively remote and will require extensive infrastructure to support development and operations, including power, water, highway and rail transportation, at significant cost;
·the net present value and internal rate of return, at current lithium prices, will be reduced from those at previous lithium prices; and
·overall project economics at current lithium prices will be reduced to the point where the project will probably not generate a net present value and rate of return that would be attractive to investors, and as such would not support further exploration, development and/or construction financing.
In reviewing the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, we considered the following adverse external factors:
·the lithium market is currently depressed, and industry experts do not forecast a recovery in the near term;
·lithium prices suffered an 80% drop in 2023 and have not yet shown any signs of a sustained recovery;
·In response to these lower prices, some lithium supply has already been curtailed as major global lithium producers have scaled back production until lithium prices recover;
·lithium demand remains weaker than has been previously forecast, with recovery in demand in the near term to be driven by recovery of growth in the EV market;
·competition amongst lithium exploration and development companies for projects, personnel and financing is intense; and
·financing will be provided to those companies whose projects have size, scale, grade, infrastructure, and project economics that are superior to others.
There is considerable uncertainty as to when demand and prices will recover. Competition amongst lithium exploration and development companies, particularly in Canada, is intense and few projects will ultimately proceed through development, permitting, financing, construction and into commercial production. At current lithium prices, only a few lithium development projects would have the size and scale such that they can be considered economic, and as a result, only a few, will be able to secure the financing necessary to be explored, developed and placed into production.
One of the principal drivers of lithium demand is the EV market. While the EV market remains strong in China, uptake of EVs has slowed in North America and major North American original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, have slowed, curtailed or abandoned EV programs, as the demand for EVs remains lower than has been previously forecast. North American OEMs are continuing to add hybrid vehicles to their product offerings, as the demand for pure EVs remains low. In addition, both North America and Europe are applying tariffs to foreign produced EVs.
As a non-revenue generating company, we are dependent upon the capital markets to raise financing to fund our exploration activities. At the present time, given the current state of the lithium market, and the state of the EV transition in North America, we believe there is little investor interest in lithium projects, and hence, little to no ability to raise financing to explore lithium projects.
As a result of the above and other factors, we are of the view that the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project does not have the scale, size, grade or project economics to make it an attractive exploration project at the present time given the current lithium pricing environment. As we did not see the possibility of being able to generate or create any shareholder value from the further exploration of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project at the time the decision was made, we came to the conclusion that the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project was no longer a material asset to the Company. Further supporting this conclusion is the current positive state of the uranium market, and given the state of the uranium market, there is substantially more investor interest in uranium projects, and more available capital to companies exploring and developing prospective uranium projects in friendly jurisdictions. Accordingly, we have shifted our focus to spend the majority of our time and exploration and evaluation expenditures on our two uranium projects, as these projects hold the potential to create more shareholder value than continuing significant exploration work on our lithium projects at the present time. Limited exploration activities will continue on the Shatford Lake Project, and environmental baseline data collection will continue on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, during 2024.
33
While we do not intend to abandon the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, further exploration activities have been limited until such time as the lithium market recovers, lithium prices recover, investor interest in the lithium sector returns, and capital once again becomes available to fund exploration and development of lithium projects.
On August 22, 2024, we entered into an ATM Sales Agreement with ThinkEquity LLC, or ThinkEquity, as amended on October 18, 2024, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through ThinkEquity, our common shares.

Our Claims History
On April 21, 2016, an agreement between Strider Resources Ltd, or Strider Resources, and Ashburton Ventures Inc., or Ashburton Ventures (now known as Progressive Planet Solutions Inc., or PPSL), was entered into pursuant to which Ashburton Ventures acquired the right to earn up to a 100% interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project then owned by Strider Resources and consisting, at that time, of the 20 claims, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty payable to Strider Resources, by meeting certain cash and share requirements to Strider Resources and certain expenditure requirements on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project exploration project.
On September 26, 2016, Ashburton Ventures entered into an agreement with MMPL, pursuant to which MMPL acquired the right to earn up to a 95% interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, subject to the 2% net smelter royalty payable to Strider Resources, by funding the option requirements of Ashburton Ventures in its agreement with Strider Resources of April 21, 2016. This agreement was amended on April 12, 2017, to reduce the maximum MMPL could earn to an 80% interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project.
In the fall of 2016, to meet the expenditure requirements of the previously mentioned agreements, a modest program of prospecting and soil sampling was completed on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, followed by a five-hole (1,007 m) drill program on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project.
In March to April of 2018, Snow Lake Crowduck staked 18 mineral claims.
34
On November 14, 2018, PPSL entered into a separate agreement with us pursuant to which we agreed to purchase the remaining 20% interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project from PPSL, subject to the 2% net smelter royalty payable to Strider Resources, in exchange for 2,400,000 (post consolidation) of our common shares. 300,000 (post consolidation) of these shares were issued to Strider Resources.
On November 15, 2018, an agreement among Strider Resources, PPSL and us was entered into to enable us to purchase of 100% of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project from Strider Resources.
On March 8, 2019, as amended on April 1, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Nova and MMPL to purchase MMPL from Nova in exchange for 9,599,980 of our common shares.
On April 12, 2019, we fulfilled our contractual obligations with Strider Resources and exercised our option to acquire the 100% ownership interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, subject to the 2% net smelter royalty payable to Strider Resources, 80% of which was in the name of MMPL at that time. In consideration of this acquisition, we issued 2,100,000 (post consolidation) of our common shares to PPSL and 300,000 (post consolidation) shares Strider Resources.
On February 11, 2020, we purchased from TBL (formerly MMPL) the 80% interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project held by TBL. After this transaction, we owned 100% of the Snow Lake Lithium ™ Project interest.
On February 25, 2020, we transferred our 100% interest in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project to our wholly owned subsidiary, Snow Lake Crowduck. This interest remains subject to a 2% net smelter royalty payable to Strider Resources.
On May 22, 2020, we changed the recordation of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project claims so that the entire Snow Lake Lithium™ Project made up of 38 claims covering 5596 hectares of land became registered in the name of Snow Lake Crowduck. Claim credits that we were entitled to were used to extend the expiry of all of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project claims to 2023 and beyond.
From May 21, 2021 through June 9, 2021 an additional 22 claims covering 3,187 hectares of land were staked by SL Crowduck, bringing the total claim package to 60 claims covering 8,783 hectares. From December 2021 through January 2022 an additional 13,603.30 hectares of land were staked by Snow Lake Crowduck.
On January 29, 2024, we entered into an option agreement with ACME, pursuant to which ACME granted us the option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the mineral claims held by ACME at its Manitoba lithium pegmatite project areas, located in southeastern Manitoba, Canada (that is, the Shatford Lake Project).
On March 24, 2024, Global Uranium entered into the option agreement with Doctors Investment, pursuant to which Global Uranium can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project. Doctors Investment is the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in the mineral claims comprising the Black Lake Uranium Project. On June 21, 2024, we completed our acquisition of Global Uranium.
On August 7 we completed our acquisition of the First Stage Interest of Engo Valley, which holds an 85% interest in NMIH, which in turn, is the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in EPL-5887, which hosts the Engo Valley Uranium Project.
To date, we have invested a limited amount of capital in the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project and historical drilling on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project has been limited as well. We have also invested a limited amount of capital in exploration programs related to the Shatford Lake Project, the Engo Valley Uranium Project, and the Black Lake Uranium Project. Drilling programs to prove our lithium resource on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project or to identify a potential lithium resource on the Shatford Lake Project will require additional capital expenditure. Further, drilling programs on the Engo Valley Uranium Project and the Black Lake Lithium Project to identify a potential uranium resource will require additional capital expenditure.

We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in the third-party research and other publicly available information. Further, while we believe that our internal research is reliable, such research has not been verified by any third party. While we believe the industry, market and competitive position data included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report is reliable and based on reasonable assumptions, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the third parties or by us.
Our Corporate Strategy
Our corporate strategy is to assemble and develop a portfolio of clean energy mineral projects designed to support the clean energy transition and EV transition. Our overall focus is on uranium and lithium minerals projects. Geopolitical events continue to shape both the uranium and lithium markets, with the uranium market showing considerable strength, and the lithium market continuing to show weakness. Given the current state of the uranium and lithium markets, our primary focus over the next year will be to advance the exploration of our two uranium projects, while taking a slower, more careful approach to exploring our two lithium projects.
Overview
Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy, is a Canadian clean energy exploration company listed on Nasdaq:LITM, with a global portfolio of clean energy mineral projects comprised of two uranium projects and two hard rock lithium projects. The Black Lake Uranium Project is an exploration stage project located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan and the Engo Valley Uranium Project is an exploration stage project located in the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. The Shatford Lake Project is an exploration stage project located adjacent to the Tanco lithium tantalum, cesium mine in Southern Manitoba, and the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project is an exploration stage project located in the Snow Lake region of Northern Manitoba (see “Corporate Developments” for more details).
We currently do not consider any of our projects material.
Uranium Market
Overview
Currently, the primary significant commercial use for U3O8 is as a fuel for nuclear power plants for the generation of electricity2. Global demand for electricity is estimated to grow by approximately 50% by 2040, with calls to triple global nuclear capacity by 20503.
Nuclear energy underpins the three major global trends of electrification, decarbonization, and energy security. Nuclear power plays a critical role in energy transition, as it is widely stated that there is no path to net zero carbon without nuclear power. At the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (more commonly known as COP 28), a total of 22 countries agreed to target tripling nuclear capacity by

2050 as countries focus on energy security and affordability. Nuclear energy provides clean, non-CO2 emissions, and low-cost energy, with greater generating capacity per footprint than other fuel sources. Nuclear power programs continue to expand, with 440 operating reactors in 31 countries, and with 60 reactors under construction in 18 countries.4
Geopolitical Events
Geopolitical events continue to shape the global uranium market, including the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, political instability in Niger, and the United States passing a series of laws banning the importation of Russian uranium and facilitating American nuclear energy leadership. These events continue to influence and drive the global energy mix and policy, with renewed focus on nuclear power as a means of ensuring energy security.
During 2024, the United States has passed two significant pieces of legislation designed to advance clean energy, enhance energy security and independence, and revive an aging nuclear energy industry at home and bolster cutting-edge technologies abroad.
In May 2024, President Biden signed into law the “Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act,” which bans the import of enriched uranium produced in Russia or by Russian entities, and is designed to enhance the United States' energy security by reducing its dependence on Russia for nuclear fuels. It also unlocks funding to support domestic uranium production. Russia is currently the largest foreign supplier of enriched uranium to the United States, according to U.S. Energy Department data.
In June 2024, the U.S. Senate passed the “Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act,” or the ADVANCE Act, which is designed to reestablish the United States as the global leader in nuclear energy in the 21st century. The ADVANCE Act is aimed at strengthening the United States' energy security, as well as expanding nuclear power as a clean, reliable power source designed to remain a major part of the United States future energy mix.
Supply of Uranium
Geopolitical events continue to disrupt the global uranium supply chain. A combination of low prices over the past decade, underinvestment in uranium projects and nuclear power, mine closures, challenges in re-starting idled uranium mines, and the COVID-19 pandemic, have all contributed to a reduction in the global supply of uranium. More recently, uranium producers, developers, and physical uranium holding companies have continued to buy physical uranium, putting further strain on the uranium supply chain.
Demand for Uranium
Demand for uranium is being driven by the increasing focus on nuclear power as a component part of net zero, a policy shift to include nuclear power as clean energy, and the number of nuclear reactors in operation and under construction.
As noted above, with 440 operating reactors in 31 countries, and with 60 reactors under construction in 18 countries, total uncovered uranium requirements are estimated to be more than 500 million pounds through 2030. The World Nuclear Association's Nuclear Fuel Report (2023) predicts a 28% increase in uranium demand from 2023 through 2030, with a 51% increase in uranium demand for the period from 2031 through 2040, providing plenty of scope for growth in nuclear capacity in a world focused on carbon emissions. Demand for uranium is forecast to outstrip uranium supply over the next decade.

Prices
As a result of the demand-and-supply dynamics, prices of uranium have recovered from their lows over the past decade and briefly exceeded US$100 per pound U3O8 in January 2024, with current prices hovering around US$85 per pound U3O8.
We are of the view that the combination of supply and demand factors, against the backdrop of the search for solutions to decarbonization and managing global geopolitical risks, is positive for uranium exploration over the next decade.
Our Uranium Projects
The Engo Valley Uranium Project
In February 2024, our company, OG, and NMIH, entered into a binding letter of intent, as amended by agreements dated March 15, 2024 and June 30, 2024, pursuant to which we will acquire up to 85% of NMIH, which in turn, is the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in EPL-5887. EPL 5887 hosts the Engo Valley Uranium Project. EPL-5887 covers an area of 69,530 hectares, is valid until February 12, 2026, and covers base and rare metals, industrial minerals, non-nuclear fuel mineral, nuclear fuel minerals, precious metals and precious stones.
The Engo Valley Uranium Project is located in the Skeleton Coast, in the Opuwo District of the Kunene Region, along the coast of northwest Namibia, approximately 600 kilometers (or approximately 373 miles) north of Swakopmund, Namibia. It is accessible from the south via 190 kilometers (or approximately 118 miles) of desert track roads from Mowe Bay, via the Sarusas mine. To the east, there are unconfirmed track roads that connect the project area to the settlement of Orupembe.
In July 2024, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Engo Valley, the Engo Valley Shareholders and NMIH, to acquire the 85% interest in NMIH in two stages, as follows:
(i)We will acquire an initial 68% undivided interest in NMIH, or the First Stage Interest, upon (a) our payment to OG of an amount of US$250,000 in cash, upon the execution of the binding letter of intent, which payment has been made, (b) our incurring of exploration expenditures of a minimum of US$200,000 on the Engo Valley Uranium Project on or before July 14, 2024 (which has been completed), and (c) our issuance to OG or as it directs, upon execution of a formal share purchase agreement, of an aggregate of 2,024,496 of our common shares, or the First Stage Shares, being the common shares calculated by dividing US$2.0 million by the 5-day volume weighted average price of our common shares as of a specified date (which was US$0.9879). The First Stage Shares will be issued subject to our satisfactory completion of due diligence on OG, NMIH, and EPL-5887, from the date of execution of the LOI until July 14, 2024, or the Due Diligence Period, and will vest and be released from escrow as follows: (a) 50% of the First Stage Shares will vest upon the expiry of the Due Diligence Period, and will be released from escrow upon renewal of EPL-5887 (which renewal was completed in February 2024), and (b) the remaining 50% of the First Stage Shares will vest and be released from escrow upon the completion of an SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate on the Engo Valley Uranium Project. The unvested First Stage Shares will be cancelled if the SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate is not completed within 12 months of the execution date of the binding letter of intent.
(ii)We will acquire an additional 17% undivided interest in NMIH, or the Second Stage Interest, upon our incurring additional exploration expenditures of a minimum of US$800,000 on the Engo Valley Uranium Project within 12 months of acquiring the First Stage Interest; provided, that any expenditures we incur in excess of the minimum expenditures required to acquire the First Stage Interest will be credited against the expenditure commitment for the Second Stage Interest.
Our acquisition of the First Stage Interest was completed on August 7, 2024.
38
After our acquiring of the First Stage Interest and Second Stage Interest, we will be obligated to make the following payments to OG, or as directed by OG, in the form of our common shares, upon the achievement of the following milestones:
(i)Milestone Payment No. 1: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 10 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 150 parts per million, or ppm, U3O8, we will issue to OG, an aggregate of 1,030,927 of our common shares, being the common shares calculated by dividing US$1,000,000 by the closing price of our common shares on February 20, 2024, as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market (which was USD$0.97); and
(ii)Milestone Payment No. 2: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 25 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 150 ppm U3O8, we will issue to OG, an aggregate of 1,030,927 of our common shares, being the common shares calculated by dividing US$1,000,000 by the closing price of our common shares on February 20, 2024, as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market (which was USD$0.97).
Our acquisition of the Second Stage Interest in NMIH is subject to various conditions, some of which are described above, and there is no assurance that all the required conditions will be satisfied such that we will acquire the Second Stage Interest.
We have designed a multi-phase exploration program for 2024 for the Engo Valley Uranium Project, which includes:
·analysis of all airborne survey data previously flown by the Namibian Government over the project area, together with all other historical exploration reports and data on the project area on file with the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy;
·topographical survey of the project site;
·locating all historic drill collars from Gencor's 1970 drilling campaign;
·radon cup survey of all historical targets, as well as a number of new targets, in order to verify the historical airborne survey data and to confirm both historic and new drill targets;
·an initial 1,000-meter reverse circulation drill program to twin the historical drill holes, and to begin an in-fill grid pattern between the historical drill holes; and
·downhole radiometrics on each of the new drill holes.
Exploration field crews began mobilizing to site in May 2024 in order to undertake the field portion of Phase 1 of the program. Results from the radon cup survey, the initial phase of drilling, and the downhole gamma logging, will inform a second round of drilling. The two phases of drilling are designed to both test the validity of the various exploration targets and to produce an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate.
We do not consider the Engo Valley Uranium Project material at this time.
The foregoing description of the material terms of our acquisition of an interest in NMIH is qualified in its entirety by reference to the share purchase agreement dated July 31, 2024, which is filed as exhibit 4.15 to this Annual Report.
The Black Lake Uranium Project
The Black Lake Uranium Project is located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada, 55 kilometers (or approximately 34 miles) to the northeast of the town of Stoney Rapids, Saskatchewan, Canada. It consists of 20 mining claims covering 18,908 hectares and is divided into four projects, namely, Higginson Lake, Charlebois Lake, Fisher Hayes and Spreckley Lake.
39
In May 2024, we entered into a share purchase agreement with the Global Uranium Shareholders and Global Uranium to acquire Global Uranium.
Doctors Investment Group Ltd., a private British Columbia company, or Doctors Investment, is currently the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in the mineral claims comprising the Black Lake Uranium Project.
Global Uranium is party to a mineral property option agreement with Doctors Investment, dated March 24, 2024, pursuant to which Global Uranium can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project, as explained further below.
Pursuant to the share purchase agreement we agreed to acquire Global Uranium for the following consideration:
·Payment by us to Global Uranium of an amount of C$50,000, in cash, upon the execution of the letter of intent relating to the acquisition, which amount has been paid;
·Our issuance to the Global Uranium Shareholders of an aggregate of 1,000,000 of our fully paid and non-assessable common shares, or the Initial Snow Lake Shares, upon execution of the share purchase agreement which shares have been issued; and
·Our issuance to the Global Uranium Shareholders of an aggregate of 1,000,000 of our fully paid and non-assessable common shares, in the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines that there is a uranium mineral resource on the Black Lake Uranium Project of a minimum of 10 million pounds U3O8 with a minimum average grade of 500 ppm U3O8 per tonne.
Our acquisition of Global Uranium was completed on June 21, 2024.
Pursuant to Global Uranium’s mineral property option agreement with Doctors Investment, Global Uranium can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(iii)Cash Payments: Payment by Global Uranium to Doctors Investment of the following amounts in cash:
(a)C$50,000 within two days of signing the mineral property option agreement, which amount has been paid;
(b)C$150,000 within 30 days of the signing of the mineral property option agreement, which amount has been paid;
(c)C$250,000 on or before the first anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement;
(d)C$350,000 on or before the second anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement;
(e)C$400,000 on or before the third anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement; and
(f)C$600,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement; and
(iv)Exploration Expenditures. Global Uranium incurring the following exploration expenditures on the Black Lake Uranium Project:
40
(a)C$500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the first anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement;
(b)C$500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the second anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement; and
(c)C$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the third anniversary of the signing of the mineral property option agreement.
Global Uranium has the right under the mineral property option agreement to accelerate both cash payments and/or the exploration expenditures prescribed under the mineral property option agreement.
Following the exercise of the option, Global Uranium will grant a 1% net smelter royalty to Doctors Investment upon commencement of commercial production, which net smelter royalty may be purchased by Global Uranium at any time at a cost of C$1,500,000.
We have designed a multi-phase exploration program for the Black Lake Uranium Project, which includes:
·compiling, digitizing and reviewing all historical exploration plans, maps, geological reports, survey reports, assessment reports, all previous geologic, radiometric, and scintillometer surveys, assay results from prior diamond drilling programs on the Higginson Lake, Charlebois Lake and Spreckley Lake project areas from prior companies’ exploration programs in the 1950’s and 1970’s;
·an airborne survey over the entire Black Lake Uranium Project area;
·upon receipt of permits, a program of prospecting and mapping and ground geophysics, focusing on areas of known mineralization, in order to assist in locating high-value drill targets; and
·upon receipt of permits, a program of diamond drilling, which is intended to be a program of up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, spread over approximately 10 holes of approximately 200 meters each, dependent upon appropriate drill target identification from prior phases of the program. Based upon successful drilling, the objective of the work program would be to produce an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate.
We cannot assure you that all of the conditions necessary for Global Uranium to earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project will be satisfied.
We do not consider the Black Lake Uranium Project material at this time.
The foregoing descriptions of the material terms of our acquisition of Global Uranium, and Global Uranium’s mineral property option agreement with Doctors Investment, are qualified in their entirety by reference to their respective agreements, each of which is filed as exhibits 4.14 and 4.13 to this Annual Report.
Lithium Market
Until recently, our Snow Lake Lithium™ Project constituted our sole material project. The lithium market currently remains depressed. Lithium prices continue to remain low after a stratospheric rise in 2022, followed by a precipitous 80% drop during 2023. Prices continue to drop in 2024. Demand for lithium continues to be weak, and a number of major global lithium producers continue to curtail production until the lithium market and lithium prices recover. Given the current state of the lithium markets, as mentioned above, our primary focus over the next year will be to advance the exploration of our two uranium projects, while taking a slower, more careful approach to exploring our two lithium projects described below.
At present, we do not consider our lithium projects to be material to our company.
41
Our Lithium Projects
The Shatford Lake Project
In January 2024, we signed an option agreement with ACME, pursuant to which ACME granted us the option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the mineral claims held by ACME at the Shatford Lake Project.
We may exercise the option by paying a total cash amount of C$500,000 and incurring a total of C$1.8 million in exploration and development expenditures, in each case over a two-year period.
Once we have earned a 90% undivided interest in the Shatford Lake Project, and completed a positive feasibility study, a joint venture between us and ACME will be formed for further development, the detailed market standard terms and conditions of which will be agreed at the time of formation of the joint venture.
Upon formation of the joint venture: (i) we will hold a 90% interest, and ACME will hold 10% interest in the joint venture, (ii) our interest will be a 90% participating interest in the joint venture, but will fund 100% of all expenditures until the completion of a positive feasibility study, and (iii) ACME will retain a 10% free carried interest, without the need to contribute to expenditures until the completion of a positive feasibility study on the Shatford Lake Project.
The Shatford Lake Project is comprised of 37 mineral claims located over three project areas, being Shatford Lake, Birse Lake, and Cat-Euclid Lake, totaling approximately 17,000 acres. The project is located in the Bird River Greenstone Belt in southeastern Manitoba, Canada. The region hosts hundreds of individual pegmatite bodies, many of which are classified as complex rare-element lithium-cesium-tantalum, or LCT, pegmatites. Thirty-one of the mineral claims are contiguous to the south of Sinomine Corporation’s Tanco Mine, an LCT producer since 1969.
Together with Critical Discoveries, a private geological services consulting company, we have designed a four-phase exploration program for 2024. Phase 1 consists of compiling and analyzing all past exploration data generated by ACME, including all geophysical and geochemical data, as well as past drilling results, in order to identify targets for field work in Phase 2. Phase 1 has been completed and Phase 2 has been initiated with the Critical Discoveries' exploration field team. Initial prospecting and mapping will focus on the northwest corner of the Shatford Lake Project and will then expand to cover the balance of the project. Initial prospecting activities to date have included the discovery of numerous pegmatites under heavy overburden. Samples have been taken and submitted to the assay lab for analysis.
Depending on assay results, Phase 3 is intended to be a program of up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, spread over approximately 10 holes of approximately 200 meters each, dependent upon appropriate drill target identification from Phase 2 of the program. Phase 4 will be compilation and evaluation of all field data, assay results, and drill results from the 2024 exploration program.
We do not consider the Shatford Lake Project material at this time.
The foregoing description of the material terms of our option agreement relating to the Shatford lake Project is qualified in its entirety by reference to the option agreement, dated January 29, 2024, between us and ACME, which is filed as exhibit 4.16 to this Annual Report.
The Snow Lake Lithium™ Project
The Snow Lake Lithium™ Project is a 100%-owned exploration stage project located in the Snow Lake region of Northern Manitoba, Canada, comprising 122 mineral claims covering 24,515 hectares (approximately 60,577 acres). The Snow Lake Lithium™ Project consists of two deposits, the Thompson Brothers deposit and the Grass River deposit, which together have a measured, indicated and inferred resource estimate of approximately 8.2 million tonnes grading approximately 1% Li2O. To date, a total of 26,000 meters of drilling has been completed, of which approximately 20,000 meters are included in the current mineral resource estimate, with approximately 6,000 meters of drilling not included.
42
In July 2023, we completed the PEA, which considered a mine plan consisting of underground mining on both deposits, with an initial open pit on the Grass River deposit. Metallurgical testwork has demonstrated that conventional lithium process technologies of dense media separation and floatation will provide robust recoveries. The PEA contemplated that tailings would ultimately be backfilled underground, with no permanent tailing facility above ground. The PEA also looked at the possibility of direct shipping ore, or DSO, as an early cash flow generating opportunity to use revenue from DSO sales to offset initial capital costs to construct the mine and processing facility. We believe, but cannot assure you, that options exist to sell the DSO to a variety of parties. The PEA is preliminary in nature and is intended to provide an initial, high-level review of the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project's economic potential and design options. The projected economic results include numerous assumptions and are based on measured, indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates for the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project, as specified in the PEA. Inferred resources are considered to be too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the pea will be realized. Unlike mineral reserves, mineral resource estimates do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Due to a number of factors, including the current state of the lithium market and warmer than normal winter weather conditions in Northern Manitoba during early 2024, we did not undertake a planned winter drilling campaign. During 2024, we will complete our second year of environmental baseline data collection. Additional exploration, including additional infill drilling, and drilling of the open extensions of both the Thompson Brothers and Grass River deposits, is not planned to take place during 2024 due the factors described above.
We are of the view that the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project does not have the scale, size, grade or project economics to make it an attractive exploration project at the present time given the current lithium pricing environment. As such, our management has determined that the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project is no longer a material asset to the Company. While we do not intend to abandon the Snow Lake LithiumTM Project, further exploration activities have been limited until such time as the lithium market recovers, lithium prices recover, investor interest in the lithium sector returns, and capital once again becomes available to fund exploration and development of lithium projects.
We do not consider the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project material at this time.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that the following competitive strengths will contribute to our success and differentiate us from our competitors:
·We have a unique portfolio of clean energy mineral projects including uranium and lithium projects.
·Our operations are located in the mining friendly jurisdictions of Canada and Namibia.
·Our uranium operations are located in Canada, the world’s second largest uranium producer, and Namibia, the world’s third largest uranium producer.
·Our uranium projects are considered to be top tier exploration projects with historical, non-modern mining code compliant uranium resources, that would benefit from modern exploration techniques and technology for uranium exploration.
·Our leadership team consists of experienced mining executives, with a track record of exploration, development and operations, as well as corporate financing and mergers and acquisitions.
Our Growth Strategies
We have a corporate strategy to assemble and develop a portfolio of clean energy mineral projects designed to support the clean energy transition and the EV transition. We continue to review North American opportunities in the clean
43
energy space, in an effort to identify additional sources of clean energy that have the potential to be commercialized, that would contribute to net zero, and that would complement our current portfolio of uranium and lithium projects.
We have developed a strategic plan for exploration and development of our projects that includes the following milestones:
·Undertake exploration activities on our uranium projects. We intend to conduct exploration activities on our Engo Valley Uranium Project and Black Lake Uranium Project to confirm the existence of historical uranium mineralization and to produce S-K 1300 compliant mineral resource estimates.
·Undertake preliminary exploration activities on our Shatford Lake Project. We intend to conduct initial exploration activities on our Shatford Lake Project to identify and confirm the potential existence of tantalum, cesium and lithium mineralization.
·Acquisitions of additional clean energy projects. In addition to our existing projects, our growth strategy includes the acquisition of other clean energy projects, including in areas of clean energy beyond uranium and uranium.
Marketing and Advertising
Given the current stage of development of our mineral resource projects, the company is not in a position to consider the form and terms and conditions of potential sale of products produced from our projects. Typically, in the uranium and lithium industries, primary uranium or lithium concentrate is sold under long term offtake agreements. Such arrangements typically specify quantities, price, product specifications and requirements, delivery schedules, together with other customary terms and conditions.
Our Customers
Given the current stage of development of our mineral resource projects, the company is not in a position to develop a customer base, as the company does not have sample products available for product qualification.
Competition
We face intense competition in the mineral exploration and exploitation industry on an international, national and local level. We compete with other mining and exploration companies, many of which possess greater financial resources and technical facilities than we do, in connection with the exploration and mining of suitable properties and in connection with the engagement of qualified personnel. The uranium and lithium exploration and mining industries are fragmented, and we are a very small participant in each sector. Many of our competitors explore for a variety of minerals and control many different properties around the world. Many of them have been in business longer than we have and have established more strategic partnerships and relationships and have greater financial accessibility than we have.
Intellectual Property
We do not have any registered intellectual property rights.
Facilities
Our corporate address is 360 Main St 30th Floor, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V1, Canada. Currently, we do not maintain any office or operational facilities other than an off-site storage facility for our core samples, which we lease at a nominal fee. We believe that we will be able to obtain adequate facilities, principally through leasing, to accommodate our future expansion plans.
Employees
We have one employee at this time, our Chief Executive Officer Frank Wheatley. Other of our executive officers and advisers work for us as independent contractors under consulting agreements. These agreements, and the employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, typically include a confidentiality covenant that requires
44
consultants to protect our confidential information during their engagement with us. In addition, these consulting agreements include typical non-compete clauses that prohibit the consultants from entering into competitive consulting or employment relationships while they are working for us.
Insurance
We currently insure our directors and officers through a Directors and Officers insurance policy with Berkley Insurance Company. We currently do not insure against mine exploration and development risks.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
A group of concerned shareholders, including Nova, our largest shareholder, at the time holding approximately 37% of our issued and outstanding common shares, filed a Notice of Motion, or the Motion, in the Court of King’s Bench (Manitoba), or the Manitoba Court, seeking to prevent us from effecting the follow-on offering contemplated by the registration statement on F-1 (File No. 333-267600), initially filed with the SEC on September 19, 2022, as thereafter amended. Nova claimed that the offering was oppressive and was made for the improper purpose of diluting Nova’s shareholdings and entrenching the current management of the Company. On Thursday, September 29, 2022, at the request of the concerned shareholders of the Company, the Manitoba Court issued an order enjoining the Company from issuing any securities prior to October 27, 2022, the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to vote at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting set for December 15, 2022. The order also had the effect of forcing the Registrant to withdraw its public offering of common shares pursuant to the Registration Statement filed publicly on September 26, 2022. Accordingly, we withdrew the F-1 (File No. 333-267600) on October 3, 2022.
Government Regulation
Our business is subject a variety of laws and regulations applicable to companies conducting business in the mining industry. In Canada, mining law is divided between the federal and provincial governments. Ownership of lands and minerals generally belongs to the province in which they are located. Within the Province of Manitoba, mining activity is regulated by the Department of Agriculture and Resource Development and is governed primarily by provisions of The Mines and Minerals Act (Manitoba) together with its accompanying regulations and guidelines. The provinces have jurisdiction over mineral exploration, development, conservation and management. The federal government shares jurisdiction with the provinces on some related matters (taxation and the environment) and has exclusive jurisdiction over areas such as exports and foreign investment controls. Federal and provincial legislation affecting mining activities tends to fall into two main categories: (a) private matters of title and taxation; and (b) economic, social and environmental policies.

During Fiscal 2024, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $5,805,055, as compared to total operating expenses of $16,165,115 in 2023 and $11,069,570 in 2022. The substantial reduction in operating expenses in the current period is a direct result of a one-time addendum payment made to certain former officers of Snow Lake in 2022 (see below). Management has also been monitoring cash flows, and in an effort to reduce expenditure, the Company has seen a reduction in expenses such as professional fees, directors’ and officers’ consulting fees, among others.
·Professional fees totaled $1,563,678 (2023 – $6,971,520; 2022 - $698,209), for a decrease of $5,407,842 from 2023. Professional fees are comprised primarily of services from outside consultants, including legal counsel, accountants and auditors, which are all essential to the Company’s operations. In the 2023 comparative period, the Company incurred substantial legal expenses in relation to a proxy requisition among certain shareholders and the former management team, which culminated with the restructure which took place upon completion of an annual general and special meetings in January 2023.
·Consulting fees totaled $937,410 (2023 – $858,517; 2022 – $220,890), for an increase of $78,893 from 2023. Consulting fees are comprised of third-party work for marketing, investor relations and information technology. These fees are primarily related to promotional activities related to costs associated with the Company building its marketing strategy. In October 2023, the Company also issued 300,000 warrants to a third-party pursuant to a marketing services agreement. These warrants, while classified as derivative liabilities, were recorded as consulting fees in the amount of $171,631.

·Non-cash stock-based compensation totaled $953,845 (2023 – $2,630,249; 2022 - $8,035,506), for a decrease of $1,676,404 from 2023. The Company had previously granted restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options to certain officers and directors, including a grant of these securities to the CEO in July 2023. The amount of stock-based compensation recorded is dependent on the valuation of the grant date fair value of these securities, which is subject to various estimates, based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make various assumptions and estimates which are susceptible to uncertainty, including the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.
·Directors’ and officers’ consulting fees totaled $915,768 (2023 – $3,840,915; 2022 - $687,585), for a decrease of $2,925,147 from 2023. As mentioned above, a one-time addendum payment was made to former executives of the Company in the comparative period. On November 1, 2022, the Company amended the consulting agreements with the entities controlled by the former CEO and COO with regards to the termination clause of their respective agreements. As a result of the addendum, the Company recorded fees of $1,672,988 (USD $1,224,040) and $881,842 (USD $648,020), respectively, of which the payout was made to the respective entities controlled by the former CEO and COO. Excluding the effect of the addendum payments, the Company was able to reduce these consulting fees, which is consistent to its current cash management approach.
·Insurance expense from directors’ and officers’ (“D&O”) insurance coverage totaled $540,364 (2023 –$924,834; 2022 - $681,504), for a decrease of $384,470 from 2023. Upon listing, the Company was required to obtain D&O insurance for its officers and directors, at a premium price due to its lack of history of operations. Since then, the Company has been able to renew its D&O insurance coverage at lower premiums.
·General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses totaled $380,746 (2023 – $518,824; 2022 - $129,415), for decrease of $138,078 from 2023. The decrease in G&A expenses is directly related to the emphasis placed by management to reduce expenditure.
·Travel expenses totaled $282,806 (2023 – $248,746; 2022 - $112,074) and remained relatively consistent from 2023 to 2024. Since travel restrictions from COVID began lifting in 2022, management had resumed travelling for business purposes.
·Other expenses include transfer agent and regulatory fees, research expenses, depreciation, bank fees, interest, and accretion expense. These expenses totaled $230,438 (2023 - $171,509; 2022 - $504,387) for an increase of $58,929 from 2023. The increase is primarily related to depreciation on the Company’s right-of-use assets.
The Company also recorded total other losses of $1,045,863 (2023 – other incomes of $702,170; 2022 – other incomes of $1,623,116). The other incomes and losses are comprised of changes in the fair value of derivatives for a gain of $2,382,179 (2023 – loss of $246,460; 2022 – gain of $1,103,839), premium on flow-through shares of $1,159,632 (2023 - $nil; 2022 - $nil), gain on debt settlement of $56,924 (2023 – loss of $157,502; 2022 - $nil), and gains or incomes from grants, interest and foreign exchange of $8,296 (2023 - $1,106,132, 2022 - $519,277), net of a loss on the termination of the Muskrat Dam Project of $4,652,894 (2023 - $nil; 2022 - $nil).
Overall, the Company recorded a net loss of $6,850,918 for the year ended June 30, 2024 (2023 – $15,462,945; 2022 - $9,446,454), which is a net loss per share of $0.34 (2023 – $0.86; 2022 - $0.60).

During Fiscal 2024, net cash used in the Company’s operating activities was $3,742,326 (2023 – $10,298,791; 2022 - $3,098,972). The decrease in operating spending is a reflection on management’s emphasis on reducing discretionary expenditure while the scope of activities continues to increase. The comparative decrease in cash used is also related to the one-time addendum payments of $1,672,988 (USD $1,224,040) and $881,842 (USD $648,020), made to the respective entities controlled by the former CEO and COO as noted in the “Results of Operations” section.
During Fiscal 2024, net cash provided in financing activities was $6,909,612 (2023 – net cash used of $191,307; 2022 net cash provided of $32,551,822). In September 2023, the Company closed the Offering for gross proceeds of $7,707,292 (USD $5,697,710), offset by associated share issuance costs paid for $215,377. The Company also made a payment of $546,476 upon the redemption of certain RSUs and lease payments of $35,828. In the comparative period, the Company did not participate in much financing activities other than having repaid a loan for $201,532, while it also received total proceeds of $31,578 on exercises of warrants.
During Fiscal 2024, the Company also incurred investing cash outflows of $4,481,208 (2023 – $9,461,430; 2022 - $5,979,286) through payments made for the Company’s exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets on the various active projects.
As the Company has yet to generate any revenues to date, it currently has no regular cash flows from operations, and the level of operations is principally a function of availability of capital resources. The primary source of funding has historically been through private placement financing of equity securities and convertible debentures. During the current period, the Company was able to raise approximately $7.7 million through the Offering. Going forward, the Company will likely have to continue to rely on equity or debt financing in order to maintain its working capital and expenditures requirements, and to service its flow-through expenditures requirement. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully complete such financing, as market conditions and business performance may dictate availability and interest.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had current assets of $3,274,285 (2023 – $4,916,236; 2022 - $25,029,009), including cash of $2,526,957 (2023 – $3,840,880; 2022 - $23,792,408) to settle current liabilities of $1,941,111 (2023 – $3,883,529; 2022 - $1,780,877), for a working capital of $1,333,174 (2023 –$1,032,707; 2022 - $23,248,132).
Management is actively monitoring cash forecasts and managing performance against its forecasts. In the past year, the Company had built up its financial position through the raising of funds from the issuance of shares and by conversion certain outstanding debentures and was able to raise additional funds from the Offering during the period. Nevertheless, management will remain cautious in its capital management approach and continue to look for new sources of financing in the next 12 months, to fund its working capital to advance the Company’s operations.

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These are described in greater detail in Note 2(e) to the 2024 Financials.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used by the Company are described in greater detail in Note 3 to the 2024 Financials.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As at June 30, 2024 and the date of this MD&A, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
Contingencies
The Company’s E&E activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. As at June 30, 2024, the Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company expects to make future expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
As of June 30, 2024, Snow Lake has also made a claim against certain former directors of the Company and their holding companies for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty as a result of, amongst other matters, of those directors approving changes to the consulting agreements between the former CEO and COO and their holding companies, for termination payments of USD $1,392,000 (to USD $1,872,000) during a time where it was clear that a change of control of the Company was imminent and increased the range of instances where they would be eligible for those payments. The Company takes the position that the amendments are void and that the former CEO and COO were not entitled to any payments under their consulting agreements. Snow Lake seeks to recover the payments made to the former CEO and COO.
As of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, all defendants have now filed Statements of Defence. All defendants have made counterclaims seeking indemnification for legal fees incurred in responding to this claim in relation to directors’ indemnity agreements they have with the Company. The Company takes the position that the defendants are not eligible for indemnity payments as a result of their breaches of fiduciary duties. The next step will be for the Company to file its Replies and Defences to Counterclaims, and then proceed to discovery. As at June 30, 2024, as the outcome of the claims remains uncertain, the Company had not recognized any contingent assets on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Subsequent Events
On August 7, 2024, the Company issued 2,024,496 common shares in connection with our acquisition of the First Stage Interest with respect to the Engo Valley Uranium Project.
On August 22, 2024, the Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement, as amended on October 18, 2024, with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Agent”), as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through the Agent, up to US$2,900,000 of common shares of the Company. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has sold 820,541 common shares for gross proceeds of USD $327,847.
5.C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc.
The Company has no significant research and development plans at present, other than certain work through a collaboration with the University of Manitoba to strengthen the understanding of the lithium deposits in Snow Lake, Manitoba, which are recorded as research expenses in the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
51
5.D. Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demand, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues and income from operations, profitability, liquidity, capital resources, or would cause reported financial information not to be indicative of future operation results or financial condition.
5.E. Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known.
Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:
Going concern
At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources, and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows, including financing activities, and the Company's cash position at year-end.
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.
Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets
Management has determined that exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.
Technical feasibility and commercial viability
Management exercises judgment, in accordance with IFRS 6 – Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“IFRS 6”), to determine an accounting policy specifying which expenditures, if any, are capitalized as E&E assets, and to apply the policy consistently. E&E expenditures not capitalized as E&E assets are expensed as incurred. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, an entity stops recording E&E expenditures for that mineral project, tests capitalized E&E assets (if any) for impairment and reclassifies those E&E assets to other applicable development-stage accounts. An assessment of technical feasibility and commercial viability is conducted on a project-by-project basis with regard to all relevant facts and circumstances. The nature and status of the mineral project is determined on the merits of the mineral project itself.
52
Provisions
Provisions recognized in the consolidated financial statements involve judgments on the occurrence of future events, which could result in a material outlay for the Company. In determining whether an outlay will be material, the Company considers the expected future cash flows based on facts, historical experience and probabilities associated with such future events. Uncertainties exist with respect to estimates made by management and as a result, the actual expenditure may differ from amounts currently reported.
Income taxes
Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.
In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.
Options, restricted share units and warrants
Options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants, including finders’ warrants, are initially recognized at fair value using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying the valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Such assumptions and judgments are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions can affect the fair value estimates of stock-based compensation.
Expected credit losses on financial assets
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.
Functional currency
The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. Determination of functional currency involves significant judgments and other entities may make different judgments based on similar facts. Periodically, the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its business if there is a change in the underlying transactions, events or conditions which determine its primary economic environment.
Shares issued for non-cash consideration
The Company is required to recognize these transactions at fair value which requires judgment in selecting valuation techniques and other factors.

On September 7, 2022, the Plan was purported to be further amended and restated (the “Purported 2022 Plan”) to add cashless exercise of the Options under the Plan. On May 17, 2023, the Board determined that the September 7, 2022 meeting was neither properly called nor held and accordingly the Purported 2022 Plan, including the cashless exercise feature, was never adopted and the Plan remained the stock option plan in effect prior to the September 7, 2022 meeting. In addition, on May 17, 2023, the Board determined that in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgement that the Purported 2022 Plan were validly approved, the Board approved the removal of the cashless exercise feature from the Purported 2022 Plan and revert back to the Plan.
Options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of common shares at a purchase price that is fixed upon the grant of the option. The exercise price shall not be lower than the greater of the closing market prices of the underlying securities on: (a) the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Options; and (b) the date of grant of the Options.
The following summary briefly describes the principal features of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.
Purposes of Plan: The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of our Company, through the grant of Options, by providing an incentive mechanism to foster the interest of Eligible Persons in the success of our Company and our Affiliates; encouraging Eligible Persons to remain with our Company; and attracting new directors, officers, employees and consultants.
56
Administration of the Plan: The Plan is currently administered by the Board of Directors, or the Board. The Board shall have the authority to determine the Eligible Persons to whom Options are granted, to grant such Options, and to determine any terms and conditions, limitations and restrictions in respect of any particular Option grant, including but not limited to the nature and duration of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed upon the acquisition, sale or other disposition of common shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, and the nature of the events and the duration of the period, if any, in which any Participant’s rights in respect of an Option or common shares acquired upon exercise of an Option may be forfeited; and to interpret the terms of the Plan, to make all such determinations and take all such other actions in connection with the implementation, operation and administration of the Plan, and to adopt, amend and rescind such administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Plan. The Board’s interpretations, determinations, guidelines, rules and regulations shall be conclusive and binding upon our Company, Eligible Persons, Participants and all other persons.
Eligible Persons: Eligible Persons include Directors, Officers, Employees or Consultants. An Eligible Person may receive Options on more than one occasion and may receive separate Options, with differing terms, on any one or more occasions.
Shares Available Under the Plan: The aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares at the time of the granting of Options, less the aggregate number of common shares then reserved for issuance pursuant to any other share compensation arrangement.
As of the date of this Annual Report, 1,598,961 of our common shares are reserved for future issuance under the Plan, 97,771 of our common shares are currently potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options at an exercise price of US$7.50 per share, 160,000 of our common shares are potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options currently issued and outstanding at an exercise price of C$2.50 (approximately US$2.02) per share, 300,000 of our common shares are currently potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options issued and outstanding at an exercise price of US$2.50 per share and 250,000 of our common shares are currently potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options issued and outstanding at an exercise price of US$2.25 per share.

The option must be exercised by notice to us, accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Payments may be made in cash or, at the option of the administrator, by actual or constructive delivery of shares of Common Stock to the holder of the option based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise.

Blackout Period. The expiration date of an Option shall automatically extend if such expiration date falls within a period, or the blackout period, during which our company prohibits Optionees from exercising their Options to the extent that: (i) the blackout period is formally imposed by our company pursuant to its internal trading policies as a result of the bona fide existence of undisclosed material information. For greater certainty, in the absence of our company formally imposing a blackout period, the expiration date of any Options will not be automatically extended in any circumstances; (ii) the blackout period must expire upon the general disclosure of the undisclosed material information. The expiration date of the affected Options can be extended to no later than ten business days after the expiry of the blackout period; and (iii) the automatic extension of an Optionee’s Options will not be permitted where
57
the Optionee or our company is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under securities laws) in respect of our common shares.
Vesting Schedule. Options shall vest as determined by the Board. Options that may be granted to Eligible Persons performing investor relations activities shall vest over a minimum of 12 months with no more than 1/4 of such Options vesting in any three-month period.
No Rights as a Shareholder. Nothing in the Plan or any Option shall confer upon a Participant any rights as a shareholder of our company with respect to any of the common shares underlying an Option unless and until such Participant shall have become the holder of such common shares upon exercise of such Option in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Amendment, Suspension and Termination. The Board may amend, subject to the approval of any regulatory authority whose approval is required, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof. No such amendment, suspension or termination shall alter or impair any outstanding unexercised Options or any rights without the consent of the Participant holding such outstanding Options. If the Plan is suspended or terminated, the provisions of the Plan and any administrative guidelines, rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall continue in effect for the duration of such time as any Option remains outstanding.
Non-Assignability. Options may not be assigned or transferred.

Board Committees
We have a standing audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors. We have adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee consists of Brian Imrie, Shlomo Kievman and Kathleen Skerrett, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Brian Imrie serves as chairman of the audit committee. Our board has determined that each of Brian Imrie, Shlomo Kievman and Kathleen Skerrett qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.
The audit committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness
59
of our internal controls; (vii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (viii) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee consists of Nachum Labkowski, Peretz Schapiro and Shlomo Kievman. Shlomo Kievman satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Nachum Labkowski serves as chairman of the compensation committee. The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers.
The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) making recommendations to the board regarding the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Nachum Labkowski, Peretz Schapiro and Kathleen Skerrett. Kathleen Skerrett serves as chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.
The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board by reviewing nominees for election to the board submitted by shareholders and recommending to the board director nominees for each annual meeting of shareholders and for election to fill any vacancies on the board; (ii) advising the board with respect to board organization, desired qualifications of board members, the membership, function, operation, structure and composition of committees (including any committee authority to delegate to subcommittees), and self-evaluation and policies; (iii) advising on matters relating to corporate governance and monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; (iv) overseeing compliance with the our code of ethics; and (v) approving any related party transactions.
The nominating and corporate governance committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors will include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources - members of our board of directors, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors, and other research. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.
In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.
Duties of Directors
Under Canadian law, directors have fiduciary obligations to our company. Under the MCA, directors, when exercising the powers and discharging their duties, must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances.
Under Manitoba corporate law, the MCA imposes specific statutory liabilities on directors of corporations in certain situations. In certain circumstances, directors can be held liable, for example, for the authorization of share issues for a consideration other than money at less than fair market value, or for all debts not exceeding six months’ wages payable to each of the employees for services performed for the corporation while they are directors, or for the payment
60
of a dividend if there were reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital. Under numerous other provisions in federal and provincial statutes, directors may also face personal liability for, among other things, environmental offences, source deductions from payrolls, and tax remittances. Corporate directors have a number of defenses to legal actions in which it is alleged that they have breached their statutory or fiduciary duties, including:
·dissenting from a resolution passed or action taken at a board meeting, which may relieve the director of any liability for the results of that decision;
·raising a “good faith reliance” defense to an accusation of breach of a fiduciary duty, whereby the director is entitled to rely in good faith on financial statements or reports made by an officer of the corporation, the corporation’s auditor, or by other professionals, such as a lawyer, an accountant, or an engineer; and
·availing themselves of a due diligence defense that permits directors to avoid a number of statutory liabilities, including breach of fiduciary duty, where the directors exercise the same degree of care, diligence and skill as a reasonably prudent person in comparable circumstances.
Conflicts of Interest
There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors, officers, insiders and promoters of our company will be subject in connection with the operations of our company. Some of the directors, officers, insiders and promoters are engaged in and will continue to be engaged in corporations or businesses which may be in competition with the business of our company. Accordingly, situations may arise where the directors, officers, insiders and promoters will be in direct competition with our company. The directors and officers of our company have a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interests of our company, avoid conflicts of interest and to disclose to all other board members any relevant information about potential conflicts. They have the same obligations to the other companies in respect of which they act as directors and officers. Discharge by the directors and officers of their obligations to our company may result in a breach of their obligations to the other companies, and in certain circumstances this could expose our company to liability to those companies. Similarly, discharge by the directors and officers of their obligations to the other companies could result in a breach of their obligation to act in the best interests of our company. Such conflicting legal obligations may expose our company to liability to others and impair our ability to achieve our business objectives. All of the directors or officers of our company have entered into non-competition or non-disclosure agreements with our company. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies as provided under the MCA and applicable securities laws, regulations and policies.
Terms of Directors and Officers
Our officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors. Unless the shareholders, by ordinary resolution, elect directors to hold office for a term expiring later than the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders, the term of office of a director upon election or appointment, subject to Section 103 of the MCA, shall cease at the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election or appointment, provided that if no directors are elected at such annual meeting, he or she shall continue in office until his or her successor is elected or appointed. The following persons are disqualified by the MCA from being a director of the Company: (i) anyone who is less than 18 years of age; (ii) a person who is not an individual; and (iii) a person who has the status of a bankrupt.

Although as independent contractors certain of our executive officers have been involved in other business activities, we expect that as our business operations ramp up such executive officers will devote substantially all of their time to our business operations.
We have entered into an indemnification agreement with all of our directors and officers, pursuant to which we agree to indemnify them against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by them in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer.
Differences between Canadian Laws and Nasdaq Requirements
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as related rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, requires foreign private issuers, such as us, to comply with various corporate governance practices. In addition, following the listing of the common shares on Nasdaq, we are required to comply with the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. Under those rules, we may elect to follow certain corporate governance practices permitted under Canadian law in lieu of compliance with
65
corresponding corporate governance requirements otherwise imposed by the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules for U.S. domestic registrants.

These agreements and the employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, typically include a confidentiality covenant that requires consultants to protect our confidential information during their engagement with us.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024 is 1.47 years (2023 – 1.71 years; 2022 – 2.07 years).
Item 10.A.5. Stock Options
From time to time, the Company grants stock options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities. The stock options entitle the holders to acquire common shares of the Company from treasury.
The Plan was approved by the shareholders on September 7, 2022. The Company’s Plan provides that the board of directors of the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company options to acquire up to 10% of the of the outstanding common shares at the time of the granting of Options, less the aggregate number of common shares then reserved for issuance pursuant to any other share compensation arrangement. Options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of common shares at a purchase price that is fixed upon the grant of the option. The exercise price shall not be lower than the greater of the closing market prices of the underlying securities on: (a) the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Options; and (b) the date of grant of the Options.
As of June 30, 2024, there were 807,771 stock options outstanding (June 30, 2023: 1,462,407) (June 30, 2022: 1,620,489).

Item 10. A.6. History of Share Capital
There are no special voting rights attached to any of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Shares were issued for cash, finders fees (warrants, exercised), for debt settlement, for acquisitions, and pursuant to property option agreements.
The Company has financed its operations through the issuance of common shares through private placements, and the exercise of stock options. The changes in the Company’s share capital during the last 3 fiscal years are as follows:

Flow Through Shares
Canadian tax legislation allows for investment tax credits, at a rate of 15%, applicable to certain mining exploration expenses in Canada pursuant to a Flow-through share issuance agreement. Common shares of exploration companies which are issued under the program are known as “Flow-Through” shares as the Company making the qualified expenditures flow-through such tax credits received to the purchasers of these specific common shares. A Flow-through share investor could apply this tax credit to reduce his or her Canadian Federal income tax payable. In order to apply for the credits, the flow-through shareholder must be resident in Canada and subject to Canada Federal Income Tax for the taxation year in which the credit is being claimed.
The mining exploration expenses that qualify for the investment tax credit under the Flow-through program must be incurred in the scope of mining exploration activities conducted from or above the ground surface in order to determine the existence or location of mineral materials. These minerals include the deposit of common metals or the deposit of minerals for which the Minister of Natural Resources has stated that the principal mineral extract is an industrial mineral contained in a non-stratified deposit. The mining exploration activities that qualify include expenses incurred in order to determine the existence, location, extent, or quality of a mineral resource in Canada, including the prospector costs, the geological, geophysical or geochemical study costs, the costs of steelhead or diamond drilling, by hammering or other methods, and the costs of digging trenches. It is not intended for expenses related to existing mines.
On September 21, 2023, the Company closed its best-efforts flow-through financing through the issuance of 2,133,979 common shares at a price of C $3.6117 (USD $2.67) per common share, for gross proceeds of C $7,707,292 (USD $5,697,710). In connection with the offering, the Company issued 86,000 agents’ warrants at USD $2.67 per share with an expiry of five years and paid fees and expenses to various agents in the amount of C $215,377.
Warrants
At October 29, 2024, an aggregate of 1,295,000 common shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common share purchase warrants, with a weighted average exercise price of $5.13 per common share.
10.B. Memorandum and Articles of association
The description of certain terms and provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and certain related sections of The Corporations Act (Manitoba) is incorporated by reference to our Registration Statement filed on Form F-1 (File No. 333-264098) filed with the SEC and as declared effective on April 7, 2022.
10.C. Material Contracts
All material contracts governing the business of the Company are described elsewhere in this Annual Report or in the information incorporated by reference herein.
10.D. Exchange Controls
Canada has no system of exchange controls. We are not aware of any governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by our affiliated companies, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest, royalties or similar payments to non-resident holders of Company securities, although there may be Canadian and other foreign tax considerations. See Item 10(E) — “Taxation.”
10.E. Taxation
Canadian Income Tax Considerations
The following summary describes, as of the date hereof, the material Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires, as a beneficial owner, common shares pursuant to this Annual Report and who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the application of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (which we collectively refer to as the Canadian Tax Act), (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention; (ii) deals at arm’s length with us; (iii) is not affiliated with us; (iv) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, common shares
75
in a business or part of a business carried on in Canada; (v) is not an “insurer” as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act; (vi) has not entered into, with respect to the common shares, a “derivative forward agreement,” as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act; and (vii) holds the common shares as capital property (which we refer to as a Non-Canadian Holder). This summary does not apply to a Non-Canadian Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank”, as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act. Such Non-Canadian Holders should consult their tax advisors for advice having regards to their particular circumstances.
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, and an understanding of the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. It takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended, or the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (which we refer to as the Proposed Amendments) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any particular shareholder are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, you should consult your own tax advisor with respect to your particular circumstances.
Generally, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the common shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the exchange rates as determined in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act. The amount of any dividends, capital gains or capital losses realized by a Non-Canadian Holder may be affected by fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.
Dividends
Dividends paid or credited on the common shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares to a Non-Canadian Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Canadian Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident. For example, under the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, where dividends on the common shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a Non-Canadian Holder that is a beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to benefits of, the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15% (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation beneficially owning at least 10% of all of the issued voting shares). We will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any dividend and remit it to the Canadian government for the Non-Canadian Holder’s account. Non-Canadian Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty.
Dispositions
A Non-Canadian Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of a common share, nor will capital losses arising therefrom be recognized under the Canadian Tax Act, unless (i) the common shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Canadian Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of disposition; and (ii) the Non-Canadian Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident.
Generally, the common shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Canadian Holder at a particular time provided that the common shares are listed at that time on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), which includes Nasdaq unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time:
76
| ●
| at least 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock was owned by or belonged to any combination of (a) the Non-Canadian Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Canadian Holder does not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and
|
| ●
| more than 50% of the fair market value of the common shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of: (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act) and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances, common shares could be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.”
A Non-Canadian Holder’s capital gain (or capital loss) of a disposition or deemed disposition of common shares that constitute or are deemed to constitute taxable Canadian property (and are not “treaty-protected property” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) generally will be computed and taxed as though the Canadian Holder were a Resident Holder. Such Non-Canadian Holder may be required to report the disposition or deemed disposition of common shares by filing a tax return in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act. Non-Canadian Holders whose common shares may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax and compliance considerations that may be relevant to them.
U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations
The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of common shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase our common shares pursuant to this Annual Report and hold such common shares as capital assets. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, currency or securities dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold our common shares as part of a “straddle”, “hedge”, “conversion transaction”, “synthetic security” or integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power of our shares, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, partnerships and other pass-through entities, and investors in such pass-through entities. This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax consequences or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences.
As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in our common shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares. Persons considering an investment in our common shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.
77
Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences
In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (ii) on average at least 50% of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.
Although we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the year ending June 30, 2024, our determination is based on an interpretation of complex provisions of the law, which are not addressed in a significant number of administrative pronouncements or rulings by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our conclusions regarding our status as a PFIC for the 2024 taxable year will not be challenged by the IRS and, if challenged, upheld in appropriate proceedings. In addition, because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year. Because we may continue to hold a substantial amount of cash and cash equivalents, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of our common shares, which may fluctuate considerably, we may be a PFIC in future taxable years. Even if we determine that we are not a PFIC for a taxable year, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our conclusion and that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis.
If we are a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns our common shares, the U.S. Holder could be liable for additional taxes and interest charges under the “PFIC excess distribution regime” upon (i) a distribution paid during a taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common shares, and (ii) any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition, including a pledge, of our common shares, whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. Under the PFIC excess distribution regime, the tax on such distribution or gain would be determined by allocating the distribution or gain ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year (i.e., the year in which the distribution occurs or the gain is recognized) and any year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, to ordinary income for each such taxable year, and an interest charge, generally applicable to underpayments of tax, will be added to the tax.
If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our common shares, we must generally continue to be treated as a PFIC by that holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds our common shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to our common shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell our common shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s common shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our common shares and one of our non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to our non-U.S. subsidiaries.
If we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions or gain recognized on our common shares if such U.S. Holder makes a valid “mark-to-market” election for our common shares. A mark-to-market election is available to a U.S. Holder only for “marketable stock”.
Our common shares will be marketable stock so long as they remain listed on Nasdaq and are regularly traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. If a mark-to-market election is in effect,
78
a U.S. Holder generally would take into account, as ordinary income each year, the excess of the fair market value of our common shares held at the end of such taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such common shares. The U.S. Holder would also take into account, as an ordinary loss each year, the excess of the adjusted tax basis of such our common shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the excess of amounts previously included in income over ordinary losses deducted as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from such sale, exchange or other disposition would be treated first as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as capital loss.
A mark-to-market election will not apply to our common shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any non-U.S. subsidiaries that we may organize or acquire in the future. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime with respect to any lower-tier PFICs that we may organize or acquire in the future notwithstanding the U.S. Holder’s mark-to-market election for our common shares.
The tax consequences that would apply if we are a PFIC would also be different from those described above if a U.S. Holder were able to make a valid qualified electing fund, or QEF, election. At this time, we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election. Consequently, prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available.
Each U.S. person that is an investor of a PFIC is generally required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 containing such information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.
The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to our common shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the common shares of a PFIC.
Distributions
Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to our common shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s common shares. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s common shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain. Because we may not account for our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends. Distributions on our common shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.
A U.S. Holder receiving a distribution from which the 25% Canadian withholding tax (as described above in “Canadian Income Tax Considerations – Dividends”) has been deducted may be entitled to a foreign tax credit in determining the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability for the year in which the distribution is received. The availability of a full or partial foreign tax credit in respect of such Canadian withholding tax is determined under rules of considerable complexity, and the foreign tax credit may not be available in all cases. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the availability of the foreign tax credit with respect to distributions received from which Canadian tax has been withheld at source.
79
Dividends paid by a “qualified foreign corporation” are eligible for taxation for certain non-corporate U.S. Holders at a reduced capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain requirements are met. However, if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year (see discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”), we will not be treated as a qualified foreign corporation, and therefore the reduced capital gains tax rate described above will not apply. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with regard to its particular circumstances.
A non-United States corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on our common shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. We believe that we qualify as a resident of Canada for purposes of, and are eligible for the benefits of, the U.S.-Canada Treaty, although there can be no assurance in this regard. Further, the IRS has determined that the U.S.-Canada Treaty is satisfactory for purposes of the qualified dividend rules and that it includes an exchange of information provision. Therefore, subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, if the U.S.-Canada Treaty is applicable, such dividends will generally be “qualified dividend income” in the hands of individual U.S. Holders, provided that certain conditions are met, including holding period and the absence of certain risk reduction transactions.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of our Common Shares
Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common shares. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for noncorporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, our common shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized from the sale or other disposition of our common shares will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.
Medicare Tax
Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their net investment income, which may include their gross dividend income and net gains from the disposition of our common shares.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our activities expose us to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall risk management strategy focuses on the unpredictability of the finance markets and seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects on the financial performance. We use different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk. Risk management is carried out under the direction of the Board. Please see note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further information with respect to certain of these risks.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
14.A.-D. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders.
There have been no material modifications to the rights of our security holders.
14.E. Use of Proceeds.
The following “Use of Proceeds” information relates to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File Number 333-254755) (the “F-1 Registration Statement”) in relation to our initial public offering of 3,680,000 common shares at a public offering price of US$7.50 per share. ThinkEquity LLC acted as the representative for the several underwriters of the offering.
The F-1 Registration Statement became effective on November 18, 2021. For the period from the effective date of the F-1 Registration Statement to June 30, 2022, the total expenses incurred for our company’s account in connection with our IPO was approximately $2.46 million, which included $2.07 million in underwriting discounts and commissions for the IPO and approximately $0.39 million in other costs and expenses. We received net proceeds of approximately $25.13 million from our initial public offering. None of the transaction expenses included payments to directors or officers of our company or their associates, persons owning more than 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates. None of the net proceeds from the initial public offering were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates.
For the period from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024, the total expenses incurred for our company’s account in connection with our IPO was approximately $3.0 million, which included $2.9 million in underwriting discounts and commissions for the IPO and approximately $0.1 million in other costs and expenses. We received net proceeds of approximately $32.0 million from our initial public offering. None of the transaction expenses included payments to directors or officers of our company or their associates, persons owning more than 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates. None of the net proceeds from the initial public offering were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates.
For the period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2024, the following is our reasonable estimate of the uses of the proceeds from the IPO:
●Approximately C$9.2 million was used for resource development activities such as drilling, soil sampling, as well as potential project acquisition;
●Approximately C$6.12 million was used for technical studies and reports such as preliminary economic assessment, preliminary feasibility study, resource modelling and/or technical reports such as an S-K 1300 compliant report;
●Approximately $C15.8 million was used for corporate purposes such as salaries, office, public company fees, audit fees, director and officer insurance premium payments or other similar uses; and
●Approximately C$0.9 million was used for general corporate expenses.
Other than the changes in percentages for each of the 4 uses described above that were anticipated when filed the F-1 Registration Statement, there has not been any material change in the planned use of proceeds from the initial public offering as described in the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act dated November 18, 2021. As of the date of this Annual Report, all of the net proceed of the initial public offering have been expended.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of a company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statements preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. In making this evaluation, management used the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities. Based on this evaluation, our management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2024.
Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Not required.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
83
It should be noted that while our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal financial controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
ITEM 16. [RESERVED]
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
Our board of directors has determined that each of Brian Imrie, Shlomo Kievman and Kathleen Skerrett qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and also meets Nasdaq’s financial sophistication requirements. Each of Brian Imrie, Shlomo Kievman and Kathleen Skerrett is an “independent director” as defined by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS.
Our code of conduct and business ethics conforms to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The code of conduct and business ethics applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, and addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code. A copy of our Code of Conduct is available at our website. Any future changes to the Code of Conduct will be posted on the Company’s website or filed as an exhibit to a report filed with the SEC within five business days of the change being effective.

The audit fees for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, are C$45,000 (approximately US$33,333), C$45,000 (approximately US$33,988), and C$45,000 (approximately US$34,922) respectively, which were paid for professional services rendered for the audits of our consolidated financial statements. Other fees of C$17,500 (approximately US$12,963), C$17,500 (approximately US$13,218), and C$17,500 (approximately USD$13,581) were paid for other services including half year reviews, consents, and assistance with review of documents filed with the SEC.
“Audit-related fees” means fees billed for professional services rendered by our principal auditors associated with certain due diligence projects.
Tax Fees
“Tax Fees” consisted of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. Included in such Tax Fees were fees for tax consultancy and advice on other tax planning matters.
Our Board of Directors pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimums exceptions for
84
non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(l)(B) of the Exchange Act that are approved by our Board of Directors prior to the completion of the audit). The percentage of services provided for which we paid audit-related fees, tax fees, or other fees that were approved by our Board of Directors pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC was 100%.

ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.
There were no purchases of equity securities made by or on behalf of us or any “affiliated purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Annual Report.
ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Not applicable.
ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
We are incorporated in Manitoba, Canada and our corporate governance practices are governed by applicable laws of Manitoba and our certificate of incorporation and amendments. In addition, because our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, we are subject to Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
Prior to April 7, 2022, we were a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, where more than 50% of the voting power of our securities for the election of directors was held by an individual, group or another company and, as a result, qualified for and relied on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation (i) the requirement that to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year; (ii) the requirement that the compensation of our officers be determined or recommended to our board of directors by a compensation committee that is comprised solely of independent directors, and (iii) the requirement that director nominees be selected or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of independent directors or a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised solely of independent directors. Since we relied on the “controlled company” exemption, we were not required to have either a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee composed solely of independent directors.
On April 7, 2022, we ceased to be a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq due to a resale offering conducted by our largest shareholder Nova. However, as a foreign private issuer, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of Listing Rule 5600, provided that we disclose in our annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that we do not follow and describe the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement.
We are currently following some Canadian corporate governance practices in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards as follows:
●We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(2), which requires a compensation committee to compose entirely of independent directors. Nachum Labkowski and Peretz Schapiro serve as non-independent directors in the compensation committee.
·We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5620(a), which requires a company to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year.
85
●We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)(1)(B), which requires a nominating and corporate governance committee to compose entirely of independent directors. Nachum Labkowski and Peretz Schapiro serve as non-independent directors in our nominating and corporate governance committee.
●We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5635(a), which requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company in certain circumstances.
·We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5635(b), which requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the Company.
●We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5635(c), which requires shareholder approval for the establishment of or any material amendments to equity compensation or purchase plans or other equity compensation arrangements.
●We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), which requires shareholder approval in order to enter into any transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares) equal to 20% or more of the outstanding share capital of the Company or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the common shares.
●We are currently following Canadian corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(2), which requires the Company’s independent directors to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Snow Lake Resources Ltd.,
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended June 30, 2024, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2024 and 2023 and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2024, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no current source of revenue, has incurred losses from inception, has a net capital deficiency and dependent upon its ability to secure new sources of financing that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022
|
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
|
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (“Snow Lake” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of Manitoba, Canada under the Corporations Act (Manitoba) on May 25, 2018. The Company is a Canadian natural resource exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resources through its subsidiaries: Snow Lake Exploration Ltd., Snow Lake (Crowduck) Ltd., Global Uranium Acquisition Corp. PTY LTD., Snow Lake Exploration (US) Ltd., and Snow Lake Investments (US) Ltd. The corporate and registered office of the Company is 360 Main St, 30th Floor, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 4G1, Canada.
On November 22, 2021, the Company was listed for trading under the NASDAQ Composite under the ticker symbol “LITM”.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, undetected defects, unregistered claims, native land claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,850,918 (2023 – $15,462,945; 2022 - $9,446,454) and negative cash flow from operations of $3,742,326 (2023 – $10,298,791; 2022 - $3,098,972), and as at June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,548,238 (June 30, 2023 – $24,695,723; 2022 – $10,545,535). The Company has not yet placed any of its mineral properties into production and, as a result, the Company has no source of operating cash flow. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to support operations for the foreseeable future. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. These conditions, and the unpredictability of the mining business, represent material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses, and classifications of statements of financial position that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.
2. Basis of Presentation
(a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

(b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies as set out in Note 3. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are-deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.
(d) Functional Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“$” or “CAD”), which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known.
Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:
Going concern
At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources, and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows, including financing activities, and the Company's cash position at year-end.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.
Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets
Management has determined that exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.
Technical feasibility and commercial viability
Management exercises judgment, in accordance with IFRS 6 – Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“IFRS 6”), to determine an accounting policy specifying which expenditures, if any, are capitalized as E&E assets, and to apply the policy consistently. E&E expenditures not capitalized as E&E assets are expensed as incurred. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, an entity stops recording E&E expenditures for that mineral project, tests capitalized E&E assets (if any) for impairment and reclassifies those E&E assets to other applicable development-stage accounts. An assessment of technical feasibility and commercial viability is conducted on a project-by-project basis with regard to all relevant facts and circumstances. The nature and status of the mineral project is determined on the merits of the mineral project itself.
Provisions
Provisions recognized in the consolidated financial statements involve judgments on the occurrence of future events, which could result in a material outlay for the Company. In determining whether an outlay will be material, the Company considers the expected future cash flows based on facts, historical experience and probabilities associated with such future events. Uncertainties exist with respect to estimates made by management and as a result, the actual expenditure may differ from amounts currently reported.
Income taxes
Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.
In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Options, restricted share units and warrants
Options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants, including finders’ warrants, are initially recognized at fair value using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying the valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Such assumptions and judgments are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions can affect the fair value estimates of stock-based compensation.
Expected credit losses on financial assets
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.
Functional currency
The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. Determination of functional currency involves significant judgments and other entities may make different judgments based on similar facts. Periodically, the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its business if there is a change in the underlying transactions, events or conditions which determine its primary economic environment.
Shares issued for non-cash consideration
The Company is required to recognize these transactions at fair value which requires judgment in selecting valuation techniques and other factors.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies
(a) Current and Non-Current Classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is either expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Current and Non-Current Classification (continued)
A liability is classified as current when it is either expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(b) Cash
Cash in the consolidated statements of financial position comprises cash at a chartered bank in Canada and funds held in trust with the Company’s legal counsels which is available on demand.
(c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Title to E&E assets including mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing historical characteristic of many properties. The Company has investigated title to all its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, titles to all its mineral properties are in good standing.
The Company accounts for E&E assets in accordance with IFRS 6. Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation are recognized and capitalized, in addition to acquisition costs. These expenditures include but are not limited to acquiring licenses, researching and analyzing existing exploration data, conducting geological studies, exploration drilling and sampling and payments made to contractors and consultants in connection with the exploration and evaluation of the property. Costs not directly attributable to E&E activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Acquisition costs incurred in obtaining legal right to explore a mineral property are deferred until the legal right is granted and thereon reclassified to mineral properties. Transaction costs incurred in acquiring an asset are deferred until the transaction is completed and then included in the purchase price of the asset acquired.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, E&E expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those E&E expenditure costs, in excess of the estimated recoverable amount, are written off to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company assesses E&E assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”) and value-in-use (“VIU”).
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered a mine under development. E&E assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments
The Company classifies and measures financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position when it becomes a party to the financial instrument or derivative contract.
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: (a) those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL; (b) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”); and (c) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
The Company’s financial assets include cash, other receivables excluding any sales tax amounts, and due from related party. The Company’s financial liabilities include its accounts payable, due to related parties, lease liabilities, derivative liabilities and other liabilities.
Fair value through profit or loss
This category includes derivative instruments as well as quoted equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVTOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics do not meet the solely payment of principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt and equity instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for sale, and where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are classified as FVTOCI. Movements in fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in profit and loss.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented in “other gains and losses”. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method and presented in “interest income”. As at June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any financial assets at FVTOCI.
Amortized cost
Debt and equity instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method.
The Company’s classification of financial assets and financial liabilities is summarized below:
Cash
| FVTPL
|
Due to/from related parties
| Amortized cost
|
Accounts payable
| Amortized cost
|
Lease liabilities
| Amortized cost
|
Derivative liabilities
| FVTPL
|
Other liabilities
| FVTPL
|
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets, including equity investments, are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or OCI (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For financial liabilities measured subsequently at FVTPL, changes in fair value due to credit risk are recorded in OCI.
Expected credit loss impairment model
Under IFRS 9, the Company recognizes a provision for ECL on financial assets that are measured on amortized cost. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full or when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flow from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
Gains or losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Determination of fair value
The determination of fair value requires judgment and is based on market information, where available and appropriate. The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
(e) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.
Where the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Any intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of FVLCS and VIU. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount but only to the extent that this does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined if no impairment had previously been recognized. A reversal of impairment is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s FVLCS and VIU. The VIU is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or CGU to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a CGU.
(g) Leased Assets
The Company is party to a lease of a mining analyzer which is used for its E&E activities. The Company assesses service arrangements to determine if an asset is explicitly or implicitly specified in the agreement and if it has the right to control the use of the identified asset.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company then recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the lease term using the straight-line method. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The Company elected to recognize expenses for leases with a term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis over the lease term and lease of assets of low value, and not to recognize these short-term leases on the consolidated statements of financial position.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was determined to be about 14%. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of the remeasurement is recognized as a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the ROU asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.
(h) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Provisions (continued)
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
(i) Income Taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or OCI.
Current income tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or payable to, the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded for temporary differences at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of the reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal rights and intent to offset.
Estimates
Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax‑related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(j) Share Capital
Common shares are classified as share capital. Costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from share capital, net of any tax effects.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(k) Share-Based Payments Transactions
The Company operates a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received, or at the fair value of the equity instruments

|
issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). The fair value of equity-settled stock-based compensation transactions is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve.
If share-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognized, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
Amounts recorded for cancelled or expired unexercised options are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the cancellation or expiry occurs.
The Company also operates a RSUs Plan, where RSUs are granted to directors, employees and consultants from time to time. RSUs are measured at the fair value of the date of grant, based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation on RSUs is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the reserve for RSUs over the vesting period.
From time to time, the Company may also grant RSUs with a put right option, which provides the grantee with the right (the “Put Right Option”), but not the obligation to cause the Company to purchase all or a portion of the vested RSUs at a put purchase price (the “Put Purchase Price”). As the grantee has the choice of settlement through cash or in shares, these RSUs with the Put Right Option are considered to be a compound financial instrument that includes both a liability component and an equity component. At the measurement date, the Company accounts for the two components separately i.e. applying the requirements for cash-settled share-based payments to the liability component and applying the requirements for equity-settled share-based payments to the equity component, if that component has a recognized value. Applying the requirements for equity-settled share-based payments, the value of the equity component is not remeasured subsequently. Applying the requirements for cash-settled share-based payments, the liability is remeasured at each reporting date and on settlement date to its fair value.
If the grantee chooses cash settlement, then the cash payment settles the liability. Any equity component previously recognized in equity remains in equity. If the grantee employee chooses settlement in equity instruments, then the liability is transferred to equity as consideration for issuing the equity instruments.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(l) Warrants
Share purchase warrants (each a “Warrant”) are classified as a component of equity. Warrants issued along with shares in an equity unit financing are measured using the residual approach, whereby the fair value of the Warrant is determined after deducting the fair value of the shares from the unit price less applicable financing costs. Warrants issued for broker/financing compensation, are recognized at the fair value using Black-Scholes at the date of issuance. Warrants are initially recorded as a part of the reserves in warrant in equity at the recognized fair value.
Upon exercise of the Warrants, the previously recognized fair value of the Warrants exercised is reallocated to share capital from warrants reserve. Proceeds generated from the payment of the exercise price are also allocated to share capital. Amounts recorded for expired unexercised warrants are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the expiry occurs.
(m) Flow-Through Shares
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the year is disclosed separately.
The issuance of flow-through common shares results in the tax deductibility of the qualifying resource expenditures funded from the proceeds of the sales of such common shares being transferred to the purchasers of the shares. On the issuance of such shares, the Company bifurcates the flow-through shares into a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated fair value of the premium that investors pay for the flow-through tax feature, which is recognized as a liability, and equity values of share capital and/or warrants. As related exploration expenditures are incurred, the Company derecognizes the premium liability and recognizes the related recovery.
(n) Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
(o) Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than CAD are translated into CAD at the rate of the consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in its functional currency, determined on the basis of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Given that operations are in Canada, the presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the then prevailing rates and non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated into the entity’s functional currency at rates in effect at the date the transaction took place.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(o) Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the period in which they arise.
(p) Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
4. Sales Tax Receivable
The Company’s sales tax receivable balance represents amounts due from government taxation authorities in respect of the Good and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax. The Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts and therefore no ECL has been recorded against these receivables, which are due in less than one year.

Non-capital losses carried forward
The Company has non-capital tax losses available to reduce taxes in future years of approximately $26,500,000 (2023 – $19,357,000; 2022 - $4,112,000). These losses have expiry dates between 2038 and 2044.
Tax attributes are subject to review, and potential adjustment, by tax authorities.
20. Capital Management
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern such that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The management of the capital structure is based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties and to maintain the Company in good standing with the various regulatory authorities. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell assets to settle liabilities, issue debt instruments or return capital to its shareholders. The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than the flow-through obligations from the Offering.
21. Financial Risks
The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to financial instruments. Management, in conjunction with the Board, mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management process. There have not been any changes in the nature of these risks or the process of managing these risks from the previous reporting periods.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and due from related party, which expose the Company to credit risk should the borrower default on maturity of the instruments. Cash is held with reputable chartered bank in Canada, which is closely monitored by management. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash and due from related party is minimal.

21. Financial Risks (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing and investing activities.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $2,526,957 (June 30, 2023 – $3,840,880; June 30, 2022 - $23,792,408) to settle current liabilities of $1,941,111 (June 30, 2023 – $3,883,529; June 30, 2022 - $1,780,877).
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had the following contractual obligations:

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows for a rolling period of 12 months to identify financial requirements. Where insufficient liquidity may exist, the Company may pursue various debt and equity instruments for short or long-term financing of its operations. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet short-term business obligations, after taking into account cash flow requirements from operations and the Company’s cash position as at June 30, 2024.
Flow-through obligations
Pursuant to the terms of flow-through share agreements, the Company is also in the process of complying with its flow-through obligations to subscribers with respect to the Income Tax Act (Canada) requirements for flow-through shares. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had spent a total of $2,457,316 on eligible expenditures towards its flow-through obligations, with a remaining balance of $5,249,976 to be spent by December 31, 2024.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to floating interest rates. Management believes that the interest rate risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is minimal.

21. Financial Risks (continued)
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company will be subject to foreign currency fluctuations in satisfying obligations related to its foreign activities. The Company has from time to time, financial instruments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies, notably in USD. The Company’s primary exposure to foreign exchange risk is that transactions denominated in foreign currency may expose the Company to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Based on its current operations, management believes that the foreign exchange risk remains minimal.
Fair value
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
As at June 30, 2024 the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable, due to related parties, lease liabilities, derivative liabilities and other liabilities.
The fair value of due from related party, accounts payable and due to related parties are approximately equal to their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the lease liabilities approximate their carrying amounts as they were measured taking into consideration comparable instruments with similar risks in determining the rates at which to discount their amount in applying their respective measurement models.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
·Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
·Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

22. Contingencies
The Company’s E&E activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. As at June 30, 2024, the Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company expects to make future expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
As of June 30, 2024, Snow Lake has made a claim against certain former directors of the Company and their holding companies for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty as a result of, amongst other matters, of those directors approving changes to the consulting agreements between the former CEO and COO and their holding companies, for termination payments of USD $1,392,000 (to USD $1,872,000) during a time where it was clear that a change of control of the Company was imminent and increased the range of instances where they would be eligible for those payments. The Company takes the position that the amendments are void and that the former CEO and COO were not entitled to any payments under their consulting agreements. Snow Lake seeks to recover the payments made to the former CEO and COO.
As of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, all defendants have now filed Statements of Defence. All defendants have made counterclaims seeking indemnification for legal fees incurred in responding to this claim in relation to directors’ indemnity agreements they have with the Company. The Company takes the position that the defendants are not eligible for indemnity payments as a result of their breaches of fiduciary duties. The next step will be for the Company to file its Replies and Defences to Counterclaims, and then proceed to discovery. As at June 30, 2024, as the outcome of the claims remains uncertain, the Company had not recognized any contingent assets on the consolidated statements of financial position.
On July 13, 2023, the Company also filed an application against its former Manitoba law firm seeking to assess for reasonableness certain invoices of the law firm rendered between May 2022 and January 2023, as well as the repayment of any fees paid to the law firm which the Court finds to be unreasonable. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company received an aggregate amount of $150,000, relating to compensation against applications filed against certain former legal counsels.
23. Subsequent Events
On August 7, 2024, the Company issued 2,024,496 common shares in connection with our acquisition of the First Stage Interest with respect to the Engo Valley Uranium Project.
On August 22, 2024, the Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement, as amended on October 18, 2024, with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Agent”), as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through the Agent, up to US$2,900,000 of common shares of the Company. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has sold 820,541 common shares for gross proceeds of USD $327,847.

The chair of any meeting of shareholders shall be the first mentioned of such of the following officers as have been appointed and who is present at the meeting: chair of the board, chief executive officer, president, or a vice-president who is a shareholder.

A proxy shall be in writing executed by the shareholder or the attorney of that shareholder and shall conform with the requirements of the Act.
7.14Time for Deposit of Proxies. The board may specify in a notice calling a meeting of shareholders a time, preceding the time of such meeting by not more than 48 hours exclusive of non-business days, before which time proxies to be used at such meeting must be deposited. A proxy shall be acted upon only if, prior to the time so specified, it shall have been deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof specified in such notice or, if no such time is specified in such notice, unless it has been received by the secretary of the Corporation or by the chair of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.
7.15Joint Shareholders. If two or more persons hold shares jointly, any one of them present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders may, in the absence of the other or others, vote the shares; but if two or more of those persons are present in person or represented by proxy and vote, they shall vote as one the shares jointly held by them.
7.16Votes to Govern. At any meeting of shareholders every question shall, unless otherwise required by law, be determined by the majority of the votes cast on the question.

7.17Show of Hands. Subject to the Act, any question at a meeting of shareholders shall be decided by a show of hands unless a ballot thereon is required or demanded as hereinafter provided. Upon a show of hands, every person who is present and entitled to vote shall have one vote. Whenever a vote by show of hands has been taken upon a question, unless a ballot thereon is so required or demanded, a declaration by the chair of the meeting as to the result of the vote upon the question and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be prima facie evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against any resolution or other proceeding in respect of such question, and the result of the vote so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon such question.
7.18Ballots. On any question proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, and whether or not a show of hands has been taken thereon, any shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting may demand a ballot. A ballot so demanded shall be taken in such manner as the chair shall direct. A demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot. The result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the question.

SECURITIES
8.1Registration of Transfer. If a certificated security in registered form is presented to the Corporation with a request to register a transfer of the certificated security or an instruction is presented to the Corporation with a request to register a transfer of an uncertificated security, the Corporation must register the transfer in accordance with the Act and The Securities Transfer Act (Manitoba).
8.2Transfer Agents and Registrars. The board may from time to time appoint a registrar to maintain the securities register and a transfer agent to maintain the register of transfers and may also appoint one or more branch registrars to maintain branch securities registers and one or more branch transfer agents to maintain branch registers of transfers, but one person may be appointed both registrar and transfer agent. The board may at any time terminate any such appointment.
8.3Lien on Shares. The Corporation has a lien on any share or shares registered in the name of a shareholder or the legal representative of that shareholder for any debt of that shareholder to the Corporation.
8.4Enforcement of Lien. The lien referred to in subsection 8.3 may be enforced by any means permitted by law and:
(a)where the share or shares are redeemable pursuant to the articles of the Corporation by redeeming such share or shares and applying the redemption price to the debt;
(b)subject to the Act, by purchasing the share or shares for cancellation for a price equal to the book value of such share or shares and applying the proceeds to the debt;
(c)by selling the share or shares to any third party whether or not such party is at arm’s length to the Corporation, and including, without limitation, any officer or director of the Corporation, for the best price which the directors consider to be obtainable for such share or shares; or
(d)by refusing to register a transfer of such share or shares until the debt is paid.
8.5Security Certificates. Share certificates shall, subject to compliance with the Act, be in such form as the board may from time to time by resolution approve and such share certificates shall be signed by any one director or officer of the Corporation. Where the Corporation has appointed a transfer or a branch transfer agent, the signature of all signatories maybe engraved, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced upon certificates for shares in the capital of the Corporation, and when countersigned by or on behalf of a transfer agent or a branch transfer agent of the Corporation, certificates so signed shall be deemed to have been manually signed by the officer(s) or director(s) of the Corporation whose signature or signatures are so engraved, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon and shall be as valid to all intents and purposes as if they had been manually signed.
- 10 -
8.6Replacement of Security Certificates. The board or any officer or agent designated by the board may in its or his or her discretion direct the issuance of a new share certificate or other such certificate in lieu of and upon cancellation of a certificate that has been mutilated or in substitution for a certificate claimed to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken on payment of such reasonable fee and on such terms as to indemnity, reimbursement of expenses (including legal and transfer agent fees and expenses) and evidence of loss and of title as the board may from time to time prescribe, whether generally or in any particular case.
8.7Joint Shareholders. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any security, the Corporation shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate in respect thereof, and delivery of such certificate to one of such persons shall be sufficient delivery to all of them. Any one of such persons may give effectual receipts for the certificate issued in respect thereof or for any dividend, bonus, return of capital or other money payable or warrant issuable in respect of such security.
8.8Deceased Security Holders. Subject to the provisions of subsection 8.9, in the event of the death of a holder of any security, the Corporation shall not be required to make any entry in the securities register in respect thereof or to make payment of any dividends thereon except upon production of all such documents as may be required by law and upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Corporation, which reasonable requirements shall, in the discretion of the board, not necessarily include the production of letters probate or letters of administration.
8.9Deceased Jointly-Held Security Holders. Where a share is registered in the name of two or more persons as joint holders with rights of survivorship, upon satisfactory proof of the death of one joint holder and without the requirement of letters probate or letters of administration, the Corporation shall treat the surviving joint holder(s) as the sole owner(s) of the share effective as of the date of death of such joint holder and the Corporation shall make the appropriate entry in the securities register to reflect such ownership.
8.10Electronic, Book-Based or Other Non-Certified Registration Positions. For greater certainty, but subject to the Act, a registered securityholder may have his or her holdings of securities of the Corporation evidenced by an electronic, book-based, direct registration service or other non-certificated entry or position on the register of the security holders to be kept by the Corporation in place of a physical security certificate pursuant to a registration system that may be adopted by the Corporation, in conjunction with its transfer agent (if any). This by-law shall be read such that a registered holder of securities of the Corporation pursuant to any such electronic, book-based, direct registration service or other non-certificated entry or position shall be entitled to all of the same benefits, rights, entitlements and shall incur the same duties and obligations as a registered holder of securities evidenced by a physical security certificate. The Corporation and its transfer agent (if any) may adopt such policies and procedures and require such documents and evidence as they may determine necessary or desirable, in order to facilitate the adoption and maintenance of a security registration system by electronic, book-based, direct registration system or other non-certificated means.

Exhibit 2.1
DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
As of June 30, 2022, Snow Lake Resources Ltd. had one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): our common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”). References herein to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to Snow Lake Resources Ltd.
The following represents a summary of our securities and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation, as amended, bylaws, as amended, and certain related sections of the Corporations Act (Manitoba) (the “MCA”). We encourage you to read articles of incorporation and amendments thereto, which are attached as exhibits to this annual report, as well as the applicable provisions of Corporations Act (Manitoba) for additional information.
Type and Class of Securities (Item 9.A.5 of Form 20-F)
Our articles of incorporation, as amended by our articles of amendment on October 7, 2021, cancelled our authorized Class B, Class C and Class D common shares and Class B and Class C preference shares, and reclassified all of our authorized and outstanding Class A common shares as common shares and all of our authorized Class A preferred shares as preferred shares. Of our authorized common shares and preference shares, only common shares are issued and outstanding.
Under our amended articles of incorporation, the holders of our common shares are entitled to one vote for each share held at any meeting of the shareholders. Subject to the prior rights of the holders of our preferred shares, the holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our board of directors. Subject to the prior payment to the holders of our preferred shares, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of our assets among our shareholders, the holders of our common shares are entitled to share pro rata in the distribution of the balance of our assets. Holders of common shares have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common shares. There are no provision in our amended articles requiring holders of common shares to contribute additional capital, or permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities or any other material restrictions. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred shares that we may designate in the future.
Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of unlimited common shares and preference shares, with no par value of each. As of June 30, 2022, there were 17,924,758 common shares issued and outstanding and no preference shares have been issued and are outstanding. Our common shares have been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market since November 19, 2021, under the symbol “LITM.”
Preemptive Rights (Item 9.A.3 of Form 20-F)
Our shareholders do not have preemptive rights.
1
Limitations or Qualifications (Item 9.A.6 of Form 20-F)
None.
Rights of Other Types of Securities (Item 9.A.7 of Form 20-F)
Not applicable.
Rights of Common Shares (Item 10.B.3 of Form 20-F)
Dividends Our articles of incorporation, as amended provide that the holders of our Common Shares shall be entitled to share rateably in dividends as may be declared thereon from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion.
Voting Rights Our articles of incorporation, as amended provide that the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend at all meeting of the shareholders of our corporation and shall be entitled to one voter thereat for each Common Share then held by such shareholder.
Shareholder Meetings
We must hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders at least once every year at a time and place determined by our board of directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual general meeting but no later than six months after the end of our preceding financial year. A meeting of our shareholders may be held at the place where the registered office of the Company is situated or, if the board so determines, at some other place within Manitoba or, if all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting so agree, at some place outside Manitoba, as provided by our bylaws, as amended.
Our directors may, at any time, call a special meeting of our shareholders. Shareholders holding not less than 5% of our issued voting shares may also cause our directors to call a shareholders’ meeting.
A notice to convene a meeting, specifying the date, time and location of the meeting, and, where a meeting is to consider special business, the general nature of the special business, must be sent to shareholders, to each director and the auditor not less than 21 days prior to the meeting, although, as a result of applicable securities laws, the time for notice is effectively longer. Under the MCA, shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting may waive or reduce the period of notice for that meeting, provided applicable securities laws requirements are met. The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any person entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.
A quorum for meetings under our bylaws, as amended, is two persons in number, representing in the aggregate not less than forty (40%) percent of the shares entitled to be voted at the meeting (unless a great number of persons are required to be present or a greater number of shares are required by the MCA or by our articles of incorporation, as amended, or by any other bylaw ). If a quorum is not present at the opening of the meeting, the shareholders present or represented may adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place but may not transact any other business.
2
Holders of our outstanding common shares are entitled to attend meetings of our shareholders. Except as otherwise provided with respect to any particular series of preferred shares, and except as otherwise required by law, the holders of our preferred shares are not entitled as a class to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at any meetings of our shareholders. Our directors, our secretary (if any), our auditor and any other persons invited by our chairman or directors or with the consent of those at the meeting are entitled to attend at any meeting of our shareholders but will not be counted in the quorum or be entitled to vote at the meeting unless he or she is a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting.
Change in Control
There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation, as amended that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us or any of our subsidiaries.
Limitations on Ownership of Securities
There are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the Common Shares under the laws of Canada or Manitoba, or in our articles of incorporation, as amended.
Ownership Threshold
Our articles of incorporation, as amended do not contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada requires that we disclose in our management information circular for our annual meeting and certain other disclosure documents filed by us under such legislation, holders who beneficially own more than ten (10) percent of our issued and outstanding Common Shares. The MCA requires that we disclose in our annual return filed with The Companies Office in Manitoba holders of shares of ten (10) percent or more of our issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common shares in the United States is Vstock Transfer, LLC. The address for VStock Transfer, LLC is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York, 11598, and the telephone number is 212 828-8436.
Requirements to Change the Rights of Holders of Common Shares (Item 10.B.4 of Form 20-F)
Our shareholders can authorize the amendment of our articles of incorporation to create or vary the special rights or restrictions attached to any of our shares by passing a special resolution. However, a right or special right attached to any class or series of shares may not be prejudiced or interfered with unless the shareholders holding shares of that class or series to which the right or special right is attached consent by a separate special resolution. A special resolution means a resolution passed by: (1) a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the applicable class or series of shareholders who vote in person or by proxy at a meeting or (2) a resolution consented to in writing by all of the shareholders entitled to vote.
3
Limitations on the Rights to Own Common Shares (Item 10.B.6 of Form 20-F)
There are no limitations imposed by the MCA and our articles of incorporation, as amended, on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares.
Provisions Affecting Any Change of Control (Item 10.B.7 of Form 20-F)
Our articles of incorporation do not contain any change of control limitations with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring that involves us.
Ownership Threshold (Item 10.B.8 of Form 20-F)
There are no provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed imposed by our articles of incorporation, as amended. Securities legislation in Canada requires that we disclose in our management information circular for our annual meeting and certain other disclosure documents filed by us under such legislation, holders who beneficially own more than ten (10) percent of our issued and outstanding Common Shares. The MCA requires that we disclose in our annual return filed with The Companies Office in Manitoba holders of shares of ten (10) percent or more of our issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Differences Between the Law of Different Jurisdictions (Item 10.B.9 of Form 20-F)
Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, and the provisions of the MCA. The MCA differs from the various state laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their stockholders. The following is a summary of the material differences between the MCA and the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the MCA and our governing corporate instruments.
Number and Election of Directors
Under the DGCL, the board of directors must consist of at least one number. The number of directors shall be fixed by the bylaws of the corporation, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall only be made by an amendment of the certificate of incorporation. Under the DGCL, directors are elected at annual stockholder meetings by a plurality vote of the stockholders, unless a shareholder-adopted bylaw prescribes a different required vote.
Under the MCA, the board of directors must consist of at least three members, at least two of whom shall not be officers or employees of us or our affiliates, so long as Snow Lake remains a “distributing corporation” for purposes of the MCA, which includes a corporation whose securities are listed on a recognized stock exchange, in or outside Canada. Under the MCA, the shareholders of a corporation elect directors by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting of shareholders at which such an election is required.
4
Director Qualifications
Delaware law does not have director residency requirements comparable to those of the MCA. Delaware law permits a corporation to prescribe qualifications for directors under its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
Under the MCA, a director is not required to hold a share in our capital as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the MCA to become, act or continue to act as a director. The MCA provides that the following persons are disqualified from being a director of a corporation: (i) a person who is less than 18 years of age; (ii) a person who is of unsound mind and has been so found by a court in Canada or elsewhere; (iii) a person who is not an individual; and (iv) a person who has the status of a bankrupt. Further, the MCA provides that at least 25% of the directors of the company must be resident Canadians, or at least one of the directors if the company has less than four directors.
Vacancies on the Board of Directors
Under the DGCL, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Under the MCA, vacancies that exist on the board of directors may be filled by the board of directors if the remaining directors constitute a quorum, unless the vacancy results from an increase in the number or in the minimum or maximum number of directors or a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors provided for in the articles, in which case, or if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, the remaining directors shall call a meeting of shareholders to fill the vacancy.
Transactions with Directors and Officers
The DGCL generally provides that no transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other corporation or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the transaction, or solely because any such director’s or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (ii) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee or the stockholders.
The MCA requires that a director or officer of a corporation who is: (i) a party to a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the corporation; or (ii) a director or an officer, a person acting in a similar capacity, of a party to a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction, or (iii) has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the corporation, shall disclose in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in
5
the minutes of meetings of directors (or committees of directors) the nature and extent of his or her interest. An interested director is prohibited from attending the part of the meeting during which the contract or transaction is discussed and is prohibited from voting on a resolution to approve the contract or transaction except in specific circumstances, such as a contract or transaction relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, a contract or transaction for indemnification or liability insurance of the director, or a contract or transaction with an affiliate of the corporation.
If a director or officer does not disclose his or her interest in accordance with the MCA, or (in the case of a director) votes in respect of a resolution on a contract or transaction in which he or she is interested contrary to the MCA, the corporation or a shareholder may ask the court to set aside the contract or transaction, according to the conditions the court sees fit. However, if a director or officer has disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the MCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation at the time it was approved by the directors, the contract or transaction is not invalid by reason only of the interest of the director or officer or that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
The DGCL permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of the director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL which concerns unlawful payment of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The MCA does not permit the limitation of a director’s liability as the DGCL does. However, the MCA provides that the corporation may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities incurred in the course of their duties and may purchase and maintain insurance against any liability incurred by the individual in their capacity as a director or officer. Further, the MCA provides that an officer or director is entitled to indemnity from a corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defence of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation, if the person seeking indemnity (i) was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defence of the action or proceeding, and (ii) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the corporation, and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. A director may also limit his liability by having his dissent entered into the minutes in respect of a decision or, by resigning from the board.
Call and Notice of Shareholder Meetings
Under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, written notice of any meeting of the stockholders must be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting and shall specify the place, date, hour, and purpose or purposes of the meeting.
6
Under the DGCL, an annual or special stockholder meeting is held on such date, at such time and at such place as may be designated by the board of directors or any other person authorized to call such meeting under the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. If an annual meeting for election of directors is not held on the date designated or an action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting has not been taken within 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the later of the last annual meeting or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director.
Under the MCA, written notice of the shareholders must be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than twenty-one nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting and shall specify the place, date, hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of a meeting of shareholders at which special business is to be transacted must state (a) the nature of that business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment thereon, and (b) the text of any special resolution to be submitted to the meeting.
Under the MCA, an annual meeting of shareholders must be held no later than fifteen months after holding the last preceding annual meeting but no later than six months after the end of the corporation’s preceding financial year. Under the MCA, the directors of a corporation may call a special meeting at any time. A corporation may apply to the court for an order extending the time for calling an annual meeting.
In addition, holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition.
Shareholder Action by Written Consent
Under the DGCL, a majority of the stockholders of a corporation may act by written consent without a meeting unless such action is prohibited by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation.
Under the MCA, a written resolution signed by all the shareholders of a corporation who would have been entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting is effective to approve the resolution.
Shareholder Nominations and Proposals
Under the MCA, a shareholder entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting may submit a shareholder proposal relating to matters which the shareholder wishes to propose and discuss at a shareholders’ meeting and, subject to certain exceptions, such shareholder’s compliance with the prescribed time periods and other requirements of the MCA pertaining to shareholder proposals, the corporation is required to include such proposal in the information circular pertaining to the meeting for which it solicits proxies. Notice of such a proposal must be provided to the corporation at least 90 days before the anniversary date of the last annual shareholders’ meeting.
In addition, the MCA requires that any shareholder proposal that includes nominations for the election of directors must be signed by one or more holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than five percent of the shares or five percent of the shares of a class or series of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented.
7
The DGCL does not have a comparable provision.
Amendment of Governing Instrument
Generally, under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to approve a proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation, following the adoption of the amendment by the board of directors of the corporation, provided that the certificate of incorporation may provide for a greater vote. Under the DGCL, holders of outstanding shares of a class or series are entitled to vote separately on an amendment to the certificate of incorporation if the amendment would have certain consequences, including changes that adversely affect the rights and preferences of such class or series.
Under the DGCL, after a corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws shall be vested in the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that any corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, provide that bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors. The fact that such power has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws.
Under the MCA, amendments to the articles of incorporation generally require the approval of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution. Specified amendments may also require the approval of other classes of shares. If the amendment is of a nature affecting a particular class or series in a manner requiring a separate class or series vote, that class or series is entitled to vote on the amendment whether or not it otherwise carries the right to vote.
Under the MCA, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or affairs of a corporation and they must submit the bylaw, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal.
Votes on Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets
The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the adoption of a merger agreement requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon.
Under the MCA, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as amalgamations (other than with certain affiliated corporations), continuances and sales, leases or exchanges of the property of a corporation if as a result of such alienation the corporation would be unable to retain a significant part of its business activities, and other extraordinary corporate actions such as liquidations, dissolutions and (if ordered by a court) arrangements, are required to be approved by “special resolution” of the shareholders.
A “special resolution” is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution or signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution. In specified cases, a special resolution to approve the extraordinary corporate action is also required to be approved by the holders of a class or series of shares, including in certain cases a class or series of shares not otherwise carrying voting rights.
8
Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a Delaware corporation generally has the right to dissent from a merger or consolidation in which the Delaware corporation is participating, subject to specified procedural requirements, including that such dissenting stockholder does not vote in favor of the merger or consolidation. However, the DGCL does not confer appraisal rights, in certain circumstances, including if the dissenting stockholder owns shares traded on a national securities exchange and will receive publicly traded shares in the merger or consolidation. Under the DGCL, a stockholder asserting appraisal rights does not receive any payment for his or her shares until the court determines the fair value or the parties otherwise agree to a value. The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the court and assessed against the parties as the court deems equitable under the circumstances.
Under the MCA, each of the following matters listed will entitle shareholders to exercise rights of dissent and to be paid the fair value of their shares: (i) any amalgamation with another corporation (other than with certain affiliated corporations), (ii) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting or constraining the issue or transfer of that class of shares, (iii) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, change or remove any restriction upon the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on, (iv) a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction, (v) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business, (vi) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to convert the corporation from a corporation with share capital into a corporation without share capital (or vice versa), (vii) where a court order permits a shareholder to dissent in connection with an application to the court for an order approving an arrangement, (viii) certain amendments to the articles of a corporation which require a separate class or series vote by a holder of shares of any class or series.
However, a shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles is effected by a court order approving a reorganization or by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy, unless otherwise authorized by the court. The MCA provides these dissent rights for both listed and unlisted shares.
Under the MCA, a shareholder may, in addition to exercising dissent rights, seek an oppression remedy for any act or omission of a corporation which is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards a shareholder’s interests.
Oppression Remedy
The MCA provides an oppression remedy that enables a court to make any order, whether interim or final, to rectify matters that are oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to, or that unfairly disregards the interests of, any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation if an application is made to a court by a “complainant”. An “complainant” with respect to a corporation means any of the following: (i) a registered holder or beneficial owner, and a former registered holder or beneficial owner, of a security of a corporation or any of its affiliates; (ii) a present or former officer or director of the corporation or any of its affiliates; (iii) the director appointed pursuant to the MCA; and (iv) any other person who in the discretion of the court has the interest to make the application.
9
The oppression remedy provides the court with very broad and flexible powers to intervene in corporate affairs to protect shareholders and other complainants by making any interim or final order that it thinks fit including, without limiting the foregoing, (i) an order restraining the conduct complained of, (ii) an order appointing a receiver or receiver-manager, (iii) an order to regulate the corporation’s affairs by amending the articles or by-laws or creating or amending a unanimous shareholders agreement, (iv) an order directing an issue or exchange of securities, (v) an order appointing directors in place of or in addition to all or any of the directors then in office, (vi) an order directing a corporation, subject to certain restrictions, or any other person, to purchase securities of a security holder, (vii) an order directing the corporation, subject to certain restrictions, or any other person, to pay to a security holder any part of the moneys paid by him or her for securities, (viii) an order varying or setting aside a transaction or contract to which a corporation is a party and compensating the corporation or any other party to the transaction or contract, (ix) an order requiring the corporation, within a time specified by the court, to produce to the court or an interested person financial statements, (x) an order compensating an aggrieved person, or (xi) an order liquidating and dissolving the corporation. While conduct that is in breach of fiduciary duties of directors or that is contrary to the legal right of a complainant will normally trigger the court’s jurisdiction under the oppression remedy, the exercise of that jurisdiction does not depend on a finding of a breach of those legal and equitable rights. Furthermore, the court may order a corporation to pay the interim costs, including legal fees and disbursements, of an applicant seeking an oppression remedy, but the applicant may be held accountable for interim costs on final disposition of the complaint. The DGCL does not provide for a similar remedy.
Shareholder Derivative Actions
Under Delaware law, stockholders may bring derivative actions on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the corporation. The plaintiff in a derivative action on behalf of the corporation either must be or have been a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction or must be a stockholder who became a stockholder by operation of law in the transaction regarding which the stockholder complains.
Under the MCA, a complainant may apply to a court for leave to bring an action in the name of, and on behalf of, the corporation or its subsidiary, or to intervene in an existing action to which the corporation or its subsidiary is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing an action on behalf of the corporation or on behalf of its subsidiary. Under the MCA, no action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless a court is satisfied that: (i) the complainant has given the required notice to the directors of the corporation or of the subsidiary, as applicable, of the shareholder’s intention to apply to the court if the directors do not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action; (ii) the complainant is acting in good faith; (iii) it appears to be in the best interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.
Under the MCA, the court in a derivative action may make any order it thinks fit including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) an order authorizing the complainant or any other person to control the conduct of the action, (ii) an order giving directions for the conduct of the action, (iii) an order directing that any amount adjudged payable by a defendant in the action shall be paid, in whole or in part, directly to former and present security holders of the corporation or its subsidiary instead of to the corporation or its subsidiary, and (iv) an order requiring the corporation or its subsidiary to pay reasonable legal fees incurred by the complainant in connection with the action.
10
Anti-Takeover and Ownership Provisions
Unless an issuer opts out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with a holder of 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock (as defined in Section 203), referred to as an interested stockholder, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, except as otherwise provided in Section 203. For these purposes, the term “business combination” includes mergers, assets sales and other similar transactions with an interested stockholder.
Multilateral Instrument 62-104 provides that a take-over bid is triggered when a person makes “an offer to acquire voting securities or equity securities of a class made to one or more persons … where the securities subject to the offer to acquire, together with the offeror’s securities, constitute in the aggregate 20% or more of the outstanding securities of that class of securities at the date of the offer to acquire...” When a take-over bid is triggered, an offeror must comply with certain requirements. These include, among other things, making the offer of identical consideration to all holders of the class of security that is the subject of the bid; making a public announcement of the bid in a newspaper; and sending out a bid circular to security holders which explains the terms and conditions of the bid. Directors of an issuer whose securities are the subject of a take-over bid are required to evaluate the proposed bid and circulate a directors’ circular indicating whether they recommend to accept or reject the bid or are not making a recommendation regarding the bid. Strict timelines must be adhered to.
Multilateral Instrument 62-104 further requires that whenever a person acquires beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, voting or equity securities of any class of a reporting issuer or securities convertible into voting or equity securities of any class of a reporting issuer that, together with the person’s securities of that class, would constitute 10% or more of the outstanding securities of that class, the person must file a press release announcing that fact and file an “early warning report” with applicable Canadian securities regulators. An additional news release and report must be filed at each instance the person acquires an additional 2% or more of the outstanding securities or securities convertible into 2% or more of the outstanding securities.
An “issuer bid” is defined in Multilateral Instrument 62-104 to be “an offer to acquire or redeem securities of an issuer made by the issuer to one or more persons.” Similar requirements to a takeover bid exist for issuer bids. Multilateral Instrument 62-104 also contains a number of exemptions to the take-over bid and issuer bid requirements
Changes in Capital (Item 10.B.10 of Form 20-F)
Our shareholders may from time to time by special resolution:
| ●
| consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares;
|
| ●
| sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount of existing shares;
|
11
| ●
| cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; or
|
| ●

4
sole discretion (i) to retain in the Escrow Agent’s possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said documents or the Escrowed Shares until such disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned by a final order, decree or judgment or a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings or (ii) to deliver the Escrowed Shares and any other property and documents held by the Escrow Agent hereunder to a provincial or Federal court having competent subject matter jurisdiction and located in the City of Manitoba in accordance with the applicable procedure therefore.

In no event shall the indemnity from Snow Lake exceed the value of the Escrowed Shares. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
2.16This Escrow Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be on and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Escrow Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Escrow Agreement.

Attention: Frank Wheatley, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Mr. Wheatley:
Reference is made to the ATM Sales Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2024 (the “ATM Agreement”), between Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) and ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity”). This letter (this “Amendment”) constitutes an agreement between the Company and ThinkEquity to amend the ATM Agreement as set forth herein. Defined terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the ATM Agreement.
1. The defined term “Agreement” in the ATM Agreement is amended to mean the ATM Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
2. The headnote of the ATM Agreement, which precedes the provisions of the ATM Agreement, is hereby amended by amending and restating the entirety of such headnote as follows:
“Up to $2,900,000
Common Shares”
3. Section 1 of the ATM Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the entirety of Section 1 as follows:
“ Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through the Agent, common shares (the "Placement Shares") of the Company, no par value (the "Common Shares") having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,900,000; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Agent such number or dollar amount of Placement Shares that would (a) exceed the number or dollar amount of Common Shares registered on the effective Registration Statement (defined below) pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) exceed the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares (less Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company's authorized capital stock), (c) exceed the number or dollar amount of Common Shares permitted to be sold under Form F-3 (including General Instruction I.B.5 thereof, if applicable) or (d) exceed the number or dollar amount of Common Shares for which the Company has filed a Prospectus Supplement (defined below) (the lesser of (a), (b), (c) and (d), the "Maximum Amount"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the amount of Placement Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that the Agent shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The offer and sale of Placement Shares through the Agent will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Company and which has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue Common Shares.
The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Securities Act Regulations"), with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-272324), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company has prepared a prospectus or a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included as part of the registration statement, which prospectus or prospectus supplement relates to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company (as such prospectus or prospectus supplement is amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Prospectus Supplement"). The Company will furnish to the Agent, for use by the Agent, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented, by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company. The Company may file one or more additional registration statements from time to time that will contain a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which shall be a Prospectus Supplement), with respect to the Placement Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement(s), including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations, is herein called the "Registration Statement." The base prospectus or base prospectuses, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented, if necessary, by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus or prospectuses and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations, together with the then issued Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below), is herein called the "Prospectus."
Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein (the "Incorporated Documents"), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act on or after the most-recent effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated therein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the most recent copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system, or if applicable, the Interactive Data Electronic Application system when used by the Commission (collectively, "EDGAR").”
4. The Company and ThinkEquity hereby agree that the date hereof shall be a Representation Date under the ATM Agreement and the Company shall file a Prospectus Supplement and deliver the deliverables pursuant to Sections 7(l), 7(m), 7(n), and 7(t) of the ATM Agreement within the time periods specified in the ATM Agreement; provided that, before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or ThinkEquity sells any Placement Shares, the Company shall deliver to ThinkEquity the deliverables pursuant to Sections 7(l), 7(m), 7(n), and 7(t) of the ATM Agreement.
5. In connection with this Amendment, the Company shall reimburse ThinkEquity for its expenses in the amount of $10,000, which shall be paid on the date hereof.
6. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the execution of this Amendment and shall not be in any way be changed, modified or superseded by the terms set forth herein.
7. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts and by facsimile or “.pdf” signature or otherwise, and each of such counterparts shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

In acknowledgment that the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding reached by the Company and ThinkEquity, please sign in the space provided below, whereupon this Amendment shall constitute a binding amendment to the ATM Agreement as of the date indicated above.

(v)if the Corporation receives, or becomes entitled to receive, assistance as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act that may reasonably be related to the Qualifying Expenses which could otherwise affect the amount that could be renounced to the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Corporation shall, to the extent that it is commercially reasonable to do so, incur (or be deemed to incur) additional Qualifying Expenses using funds from other sources in such amount that enables the Corporation to renounce to the Subscriber, with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023, Qualifying Expenses in an amount equal to the Commitment Amount;
(w)the Corporation shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the Flow-Through Shares for the exploration programs of the Corporation to be conducted on the Corporation’s properties located in the province of Manitoba;
(x)if the Corporation amalgamates with any one or more companies, any shares issued to or held by the Subscriber as a replacement for the Flow-Through Shares as a result of such amalgamation will qualify, by virtue of subsection 87(4.4) of the Tax Act, as “flow-through shares” and in particular will not be “prescribed shares” as defined in section 6202.1 of the Tax Regulations; and
(y)the Flow-Through Shares shall not be subject to any resale restrictions pursuant to either (i) the regulations of any applicable stock exchange; or (ii) in the event that the Subscriber is a Manitoba Investor, Section 2.5(2) of National Instrument 45-102.

Stock Trading Policy
Purpose
The board of directors (the “Board”) of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. has adopted this Stock Trading Policy (the “Policy”) to promote compliance with applicable securities laws and to preserve the reputation and integrity of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as well as that of all persons affiliated with the Company. This Policy prohibits certain persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about the Company from: (i) trading in securities of the Company or (ii) providing material nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information. This Policy provides guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of the Company and the handling of confidential information about the Company and the companies with which the Company does business. The ultimate responsibility to avoid improper trading and comply with the law rests with each individual. The provisions of this Policy will be supplemented by any greater prohibitions or restrictions prescribed by any applicable laws or stock exchanges, including the Nasdaq.
Persons Subject to the Policy
This Policy applies to all members of the Board, executive officers and other employees, consultants and contractors, including agents, of the Company, owners of 10% or more of the Company’s voting securities (including securities which are issuable within the next sixty days), and anyone who possesses or has access to material, non-public information (inside information) (“Company Personnel”). Company Personnel are responsible for ensuring that their Family Members comply with this Policy, as applicable. Family Members means family members who reside with you (including a spouse, a child, a child away at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws), anyone else who lives in your household, and any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control, such as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in Company securities. Finally, this Policy applies to any entities that you influence or control, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts (collectively referred to as “Controlled Entities”), and transactions by these Controlled Entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account. Collectively, this Policy refers to Company Personnel, their respective Family Members and their respective Controlled Entities, as “Covered Persons.” Any Company Personnel uncertain whether other prohibitions or restrictions apply should consult with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Statement of Policies Prohibiting Insider Trading
Prohibited Activities
It is the policy of the Company that no director, executive officer or other employee, contractor or consultant of the Company (or any other Covered Person subject to this Policy) who is aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company may, directly, or indirectly or through family members or other persons or entities:
1.Engage in transactions in Company securities, except as otherwise specified in this Policy under the headings “Transactions Under Company Plans,” “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale” and “Rule 10b5-1 Plans;”
1
2.Recommend the purchase or sale of any Company securities;
3.Disclose material nonpublic information to persons within the Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information, or outside of the Company to other persons, including, but not limited to, family, friends, business associates, investors and expert consulting firms, other than with the prior written consent of the Company;
4.Electing to participate in a Company equity plan, such as the Company’s stock option plan, dated May 1, 2019 (“Stock Option Plan”); or
5.Assist anyone to engage in the above activities.
There are no exceptions to this Policy, except as specifically noted herein. Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure), or small transactions, are not excepted from this Policy. The securities laws do not recognize any mitigating circumstances, and, in any event, even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve the Company’s reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.
Explanation of Insider Trading
As noted above, “insider trading” refers to the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of “material” “nonpublic” information relating to the Company or the security. “Securities” include not only shares, bonds, notes and debentures, but also options, warrants and similar instruments. “Purchase” and “sale” are defined broadly under applicable securities laws. “Purchase” includes not only the actual purchase of a security, but any contract or instruction to purchase or otherwise acquire a security. “Sale” includes not only the actual sale of a security, but any contract or instruction to sell or otherwise dispose of a security. These definitions extend to a broad range of transactions including conventional cash-for-share transactions, conversions, a sale of a security upon a cashless exercise and acquisitions and exercises of warrants or puts, calls or other options related to a security. It is generally understood that insider trading includes the following:
·trading by insiders while in possession of material non-public information;
·trading by persons other than insiders while in possession of material non-public information where the information either was given in breach of an insider’s fiduciary duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated; or
·communicating or tipping material non-public information to others, including recommending the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of such information.
Material Information. Information is considered “material” if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision. Any information that could be expected to affect the Company’s share price, whether it is positive or negative, should be considered material. There is no bright-line standard for assessing materiality; rather, materiality is based on an assessment of all of the facts and circumstances, and is often evaluated by enforcement authorities with the benefit of hindsight.
2
Possible material information or events include, but are not limited to: earnings information, quarterly results, and guidance on earnings estimates; financial condition, including material impairment charges or changes in the debt structure; mergers, acquisitions, tender offers and joint ventures; institution of, or developments in, significant litigation, investigations, regulatory actions or proceedings; new material contracts or developments (including material changes in previously announced schedules) regarding such projects or contracts; major management or organizational changes; changes in the Company’s strategy; events regarding the Company’s securities (e.g., defaults on any outstanding debt, share repurchase plans, share splits or changes in dividends or public or private sales of additional securities); bankruptcies or receiverships of the Company; and regulatory approvals or changes in regulations and any analysis of how they affect the Company.
Nonpublic Information. Nonpublic information is information that is not generally known or available to the public. Information is considered to be available to the public only when it has (1) been released broadly to the marketplace (such as by a press release, a SEDAR filing and an SEC filing), and (2) the investing public has time to absorb the information fully.
Excluded Transactions
Except as specifically noted below under the headings “Transactions Under Company Plans,” and “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale,” there are no exceptions to this Policy.
Transactions Under Company Plans
Trading includes purchases and sales of shares, derivative securities such as convertible debentures, preferred shares, and debt securities. Trading also includes certain transactions under Company benefit plans. This Policy does not apply to the vesting of restricted share units, or the exercise of a tax withholding right in which you elect to have the Company withhold shares of stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of any restricted share units. The Policy does apply, however, to any market sale of shares.
Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale
Bona fide gifts are not transactions subject to this Policy, unless the person making the gift has reason to believe that the recipient intends to sell the Company’s securities while the person is aware of material nonpublic information, or the person making the gift is subject to the pre-clearance procedures specified in the addendum hereto under the heading “Pre-clearance Procedures.”
Blackout and Pre-clearance Procedures
To help prevent inadvertent violations of applicable securities laws and to avoid even the appearance of trading on the basis of inside information, the Company has adopted additional policies that apply to Board members, executive officers and employees of the Company (such additional policies are referred to herein as the “addendum”). For clarity, the addendum does not apply to Company consultants and contractors. The addendum generally prohibits persons covered by it from trading in the Company’s securities during quarterly blackout periods.
Options Exercises
Covered Persons are prohibited from trading or exercising options at any time the individual is in possession of material non-public information.
3
Unauthorized Disclosure
Nonpublic information relating to the Company is the property of the Company and the unauthorized disclosure of such information is forbidden. The timing and nature of the Company’s disclosure of material information to outsiders is subject to legal rules, and if you violate those rules, you, the Company, and its management could be subject to substantial liability. Accordingly, it is important that responses to inquiries about the Company by the press, investment analysts or others in the financial community be made on the Company’s behalf only through authorized individuals. Please contact the Chief Executive Officer for more details regarding the Company’s policy on speaking to the media, financial analysts and investors.
Quiet Periods
The Company observes a quarterly quiet period, during which no earnings guidance or comments with respect to the current quarter’s operations or expected results will be provided to analysts, investors or other market professionals. The quiet period runs from the seventh (7th) day before the end of the fiscal quarter and ending after the second clear and full trading day following the quarterly financial results or the annual results being made public by news release.
The Company does not need to stop all communications with analysts or investors during the quiet period. However, communications should be limited to responding to inquiries concerning publicly available or non-material information. The purpose of this quiet period is to avoid the potential for, or perception of, selective disclosure.
Inside Information Regarding Other Companies
This Policy and the guidelines described herein also apply to material nonpublic information relating to companies with which the Company does business, including the Company’s vendors and suppliers or a company that is involved in a potential transaction or business relationship with the Company (“business partners”), when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or the performance of services on behalf of, the Company. Civil and criminal penalties, and termination of employment, may result from trading on inside information regarding the Company’s business partners. All Company Personnel should treat material nonpublic information about the Company’s business partners with the same care required with respect to information related directly to the Company.
Penalties for Policy Violation
The purchase or sale of securities while aware of material nonpublic information, or the disclosure of material nonpublic information to others who then trade in possession of such information, is prohibited by federal and state/provincial laws. Insider trading violations are pursued vigorously by government enforcement authorities. Penalties for violating the law include imprisonment, disgorgement of profits, civil fines of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided, and criminal fines. While the regulatory authorities concentrate their efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip inside information to others who trade, the federal securities laws also impose potential liability on companies and other “controlling persons” if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company personnel. Regulators have also prosecuted insider trading violations where an employee or insider has traded in the stock of another related company based on material nonpublic information learned in connection with their employment or role as an insider.
4
In addition, an individual’s failure to comply with this Policy may subject the individual to Company-imposed sanctions, including dismissal for cause, whether or not the employee’s failure to comply results in a violation of law. Needless to say, a violation of law, or even a government investigation that does not result in prosecution, can tarnish a person’s reputation and irreparably damage a career. The Company will cooperate fully in all governmental investigations of insider trading.
Company Assistance
Any person who has a question about this Policy or its application to any proposed transaction may obtain additional guidance from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Stock Trading Policy Addendum
Additional Policies Applicable to all Members of the Board of Directors, Executive Officers and Other Employees of the Company
Pre-clearance Procedures
Prior to conducting any transactions in Company securities, including a gift of shares (other than transactions that are set forth under “Transactions Under Company Plans” or transactions pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan), all members of the Board, executive officers and other employees, consultants and contractors, including agents, of the Company, owners of 10% or more of the Company’s voting securities (including securities which are issuable within the next sixty days), and anyone who possesses or has access to material, non-public information (inside information) (collectively, “Reporting Insiders”) must request and obtain pre-clearance of such transaction from the Chief Executive Officer, and provide the Pre-clearance Request Form, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the Chief Executive Officer. No transaction may be conducted in securities of the Company until the requesting Reporting Insider has received the approved Pre-clearance Request Form back from the Chief Executive Officer. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer pre-clearance of such transaction must be requested and obtained from the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
This pre-clearance procedure has been established to provide assistance in preventing inadvertent violations of applicable securities laws, to avoid the appearance of impropriety in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company securities, and to ensure timely compliance with the strict time requirements for insider reporting that must be filed electronically through the “System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders” (“SEDI”) and the beneficial ownership reports on Schedules 13D and 13G that must be filed electronically through the “Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system” (“EDGAR”). Filing of insider reports is the responsibility of each Reporting Insider. However, the Company will provide advice and assistance with respect to those filings.
A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer two (2) business days in advance of the proposed transaction. The Chief Executive Officer is under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre-clearance, and may determine not to permit the transaction. The Chief Executive Officer shall act in good faith when determining whether to approve a transaction submitted for pre-clearance. If a person seeks pre-clearance and permission to engage in the transaction is denied, then that person should refrain from initiating any transaction in Company securities, and should not inform any other person of the restriction.
When a request for pre-clearance is made, the requestor should carefully consider and disclose to the Chief Executive Officer whether the requestor may be aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company.
Blackout Periods
All Board members, executive officers and other employees of the Company are subject to the following blackout procedures. The blackout periods apply to trading in the Company’s securities.
Quarterly Blackout Periods. The Company’s announcement of its quarterly financial results almost always has the potential to have a material effect on the market for the Company’s securities. Therefore, to avoid even the appearance of trading on the basis of material nonpublic information, you may
6
not trade in the Company’s securities during the period beginning on the seventh day prior to the end of the third month of a fiscal quarter and ending at the close of trading on the second trading day following the Company’s issuance of its quarterly earnings release. Persons subject to these quarterly blackout periods include all Board members, executive officers and all other employees of the Company.
Interim Material Information. The Company may on occasion issue potentially material information by means of a press release, SEDAR filing, SEC filing or other means designed to achieve widespread dissemination of the information. You should anticipate that trades are unlikely to be pre-cleared while the Company is in the process of assembling the information to be released and until the information has been released and fully absorbed by the market.
Event-specific Blackout Periods. From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few Board members or executive officers. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, Board members, executive officers, and other Company employees may not trade in the Company’s securities. The existence of an event-specific blackout will not be announced, other than to those who are aware of the event giving rise to the blackout. Any person made aware of the existence of an event-specific blackout should not disclose the existence of the blackout to any other person. The failure of the Company to designate a person as being subject to an event-specific blackout will not relieve that person of the obligation not to trade while aware of material nonpublic information.
Exceptions. The quarterly trading restrictions and event-driven trading restrictions do not apply to those transactions to which this Policy does not apply, as described above under the headings “Transactions Under Company Plans” and “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale.” Further, the requirement for pre-clearance, the quarterly trading restrictions and event-driven trading restrictions do not apply to transactions conducted pursuant to approved Rule 10b5-1 plans, described under the heading “Rule 10b5-1 Plans.”
Post-Termination Transactions. If you are aware of material nonpublic information when you terminate service as a Board member, executive officer or other employee of the Company, you may not trade in the Company securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. In all other respects, the procedures set forth in this Policy will cease to apply to your transactions in Company securities upon the expiration of any blackout period that is applicable to your transactions at the time of your termination of service.
Options Exercises
Directors, executive officers and other employees of the Company are prohibited from trading or exercising options during a blackout period or if the option holder is in possession of any material non-public information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries. If permitted under the Company’s equity plans, if the expiration date of an option would otherwise fall within a blackout period, the expiration date of an option can be extended to no later than ten (10) business days after the expiry of the blackout period.
Prohibited Transactions Applicable to Members of the Board, Executive Officers and Other Company Employees
The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for any Board member, executive officer or Company employee to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities or in other transactions in the Company’s securities that may lead to inadvertent violations of the insider trading laws. Accordingly, your trading in Company securities is subject to the following additional guidelines.
7
Short Sales. Short sales (sales of securities that are not yet owned) of the Company’s securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller’s incentive to improve the Company’s performance. For these reasons, you may not engage in short sales of the Company’s securities.
Publicly Traded Options. A transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term movement of the Company’s share price and therefore creates the appearance that the Board member, executive officer or other Company employee is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company’s long-term objectives. Accordingly, you may not effect transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities.
Hedging Transactions. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow a person to lock in much of the value of his or her share holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the individuals to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the individual may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other shareholders. Therefore, you are prohibited from engaging in any such transactions.
Pledging Policy Applicable to Board Members, Executive Officers and Other Company Employees
Securities held in a margin account can present problems if the individual does not have sufficient funds to meet a margin call and the securities are sold by the broker. Because such a sale may occur at a time when the individual is in possession of material non-public information or when otherwise not permitted to trade in the Company’s securities, Board members, executive officers and other Company employees may not hold the Company’s securities in a margin account or otherwise pledge the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan, except with the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer, which shall be made in good faith.
Rule 10b5-1 Plans
Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides a defense from insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5. In order to be eligible to rely on this defense, a person subject to this Policy must enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan for transactions in Company securities that meets certain conditions specified in the Rule (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”). If the plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, Company securities may be purchased or sold without regard to certain insider trading restrictions. To comply with this Policy, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be approved by the Chief Executive Officer.
In general, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be entered into at a time when the person entering into the plan is not aware of material nonpublic information, be binding upon the insider and be in writing, provide that the person may not have any authority to subsequently influence how, when or whether a purchase or sale is consummated, and specify the amount, pricing and timing of transactions in advance. A Rule 10b5-1 Plan may not be entered into during a quarterly blackout period.
Any Rule 10b5-1 Plan to be entered into by a Board member, executive officer or other Company employee must be submitted for approval by the Chief Executive Officer prior to the entry into the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. No further pre-approval of transactions conducted pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be required. Trading under any Rule 10b5-1 Plan may not begin until at least 30 days (or, if the employee is a Reporting Insider or certain other executives of the Company, 120 days) after the date that the plan is executed.

SNOW LAKE RESOURCES LTD.
POLICY REGARDING RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION
The following is the policy of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) regarding the recovery of incentive compensation erroneously awarded (the “Policy”) to Covered Persons as a result of erroneous financial measures that are restated. This policy is intended to comply with Rule 5608 of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules (“Rule 5608”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 10D-1.
1.The Policy
It is the policy of the Company that if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the Company will recover reasonably promptly from each Covered Person all Erroneously Awarded Compensation the Covered Person received during the Applicable Recovery Period due to the error in calculating Financial Reporting Measures that resulted in the restatement.
This Policy will apply to all Incentive-based compensation received by a person (a) after the person begins service as an Executive Officer or otherwise is designated by the Committee as a Covered Person (b) who served as an Executive Officer, or otherwise was a Covered Person, during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation, (c) while the Company has a class of securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) or any other national securities exchange or a national securities association, and (d) during the Applicable Recovery Period.
2.Defined Terms
When used in, or with regard to, this Policy, the following terms will have the meanings given to them in Rule 5608 (with all references to the issuer being to the Company):
Executive OfficerIncentive-Based Compensation
Financial Reporting MeasuresReceived
In addition, when used in, or with regard to, this Policy, the following terms will have the following meanings:
“Applicable Recovery Period” means, with respect to a Material Restatement, the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Restatement Date of that Material Restatement (including as a fiscal year any transition period between the last day of the Company’s previous fiscal year end and the first day of its new fiscal year that comprises a period of between nine and twelve months due to the Company’s changing its fiscal year within or immediately following the aforementioned three completed fiscal years). The Company’s obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation will not be dependent on if or when the restated financial statements are filed.
“Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
“Covered Person” means an executive officer of the Company and any other person designated by the Committee to be a Covered Person during a specified period.
“Erroneously Awarded Compensation” means, with respect to a Material Restatement, the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation Received by a Covered Person during the Applicable Recovery Period in excess of the amount that would have been received by that Covered Person if the Incentive-Based Compensation had been determined based on the restated amounts determined following the Material Restatement, computed without respect to any taxes paid (i.e. without consideration of any withholding or other taxes paid when the Incentive-Based Compensation was awarded or issued). If the Incentive- Based Compensation is based on stock price or total shareholder return and the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an accounting restatement, it will be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Material Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return on which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received.
“Material Restatement” means an accounting restatement of previously issued financial statements of the Company due to the Company’s material noncompliance with a financial requirement under the securities laws.
“Restatement Date” means, with respect to a Material Restatement, the earlier of (i) the date the Company’s Board, a Committee of the Company’s Board, or the officer or officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare the Material Restatement, or (ii) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body, directs the Company to prepare the Material Restatement.
3.Exception to Policy
The Company may elect not to seek to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation from a Covered Person if the Committee determines that recovery would be impractical and one or more of the following conditions is met: (i) the direct expense paid to a third party for assistance in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered, and the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, documented such reasonable attempt to recover, and provided that documentation to Nasdaq (ii) recovery would cause the Company to violate a law of Canada or a province of Canada that was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, and the Company obtains, and provides to Nasdaq, an opinion of Canadian counsel acceptable to Nasdaq that recovery would result in a violation of a law of Canada or a province of Canada, or (iii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.
4.No Indemnification
The Company is prohibited from indemnifying any Covered Person or former Covered Person against the loss of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. No Covered Person will be entitled to indemnification from the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any costs of defending against a claim by the Company for Erroneously Received Compensation.
5.Enforcement of Policy
The Committee will determine the steps the Company should take to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation, provided that the Committee will not determine not to proceed against a Covered Person who received Erroneously Paid Compensation, unless it has received written advice from counsel to the effect that it is more likely than not that if the Company attempts to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation, the effort will not result in a material net recovery by the Company (whether because of doubts regarding the Company’s right to recover the Erroneously Awarded Compensation or because of doubts about the Covered Person’s financial ability to return the Erroneously Awarded Compensation).
No Covered Person will be entitled to indemnification from the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any costs of defending against a claim by the Company for Erroneously Received Compensation.
6.Rights against Covered Persons
Every employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is, or becomes, a Covered Person, will be deemed by accepting Incentive-Based Compensation to agree that that Incentive-Based Compensation is received, and will be held by the Covered Person, subject to this Policy, and that this Policy may be enforced to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation from the Covered Person.
7.Administration and Interpretation
The Committee will be responsible for all decisions regarding the application and interpretation of this Policy. However, in interpreting this Policy, the Committee will do so in a manner that is, to the fullest extent practicable, consistent with SEC Rule 10D-1 and Rule 5608 of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
8.Maintaining Records
The Company will be responsible for maintaining documentation of the determination of the reasonable estimate as detailed under the definition of “Erroneously Awarded Compensation" and provide such documentation to Nasdaq.
The Company will also be responsible for filing all disclosures with respect to such recovery policy in accordance with the requirements of the Federal securities laws, including the disclosure required by the applicable SEC filings.
9.Review
The Committee shall be responsible for administering this Policy. The Committee shall review this Policy periodically and recommend appropriate changes to the Board of Directors of the Company.

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (“Snow Lake” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of Manitoba, Canada under the Corporations Act (Manitoba) on May 25, 2018. The Company is a Canadian natural resource exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resources through its subsidiaries: Snow Lake Exploration Ltd., Snow Lake (Crowduck) Ltd., Global Uranium Acquisition Corp. PTY LTD., Snow Lake Exploration (US) Ltd., and Snow Lake Investments (US) Ltd. The corporate and registered office of the Company is 360 Main St, 30th Floor, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 4G1, Canada.
On November 22, 2021, the Company was listed for trading under the NASDAQ Composite under the ticker symbol “LITM”.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, undetected defects, unregistered claims, native land claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,850,918 (2023 – $15,462,945; 2022 - $9,446,454) and negative cash flow from operations of $3,742,326 (2023 – $10,298,791; 2022 - $3,098,972), and as at June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,548,238 (June 30, 2023 – $24,695,723; 2022 – $10,545,535). The Company has not yet placed any of its mineral properties into production and, as a result, the Company has no source of operating cash flow. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to support operations for the foreseeable future. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. These conditions, and the unpredictability of the mining business, represent material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses, and classifications of statements of financial position that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Presentation |
2. Basis of Presentation
(a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies set out below were consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on October 29, 2024.
2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies as set out in Note 3. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are-deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.
(d) Functional Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“$” or “CAD”), which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known.
Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:
Going concern
At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources, and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows, including financing activities, and the Company's cash position at year-end.
2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.
Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets
Management has determined that exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.
Technical feasibility and commercial viability
Management exercises judgment, in accordance with IFRS 6 – Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“IFRS 6”), to determine an accounting policy specifying which expenditures, if any, are capitalized as E&E assets, and to apply the policy consistently. E&E expenditures not capitalized as E&E assets are expensed as incurred. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, an entity stops recording E&E expenditures for that mineral project, tests capitalized E&E assets (if any) for impairment and reclassifies those E&E assets to other applicable development-stage accounts. An assessment of technical feasibility and commercial viability is conducted on a project-by-project basis with regard to all relevant facts and circumstances. The nature and status of the mineral project is determined on the merits of the mineral project itself.
Provisions
Provisions recognized in the consolidated financial statements involve judgments on the occurrence of future events, which could result in a material outlay for the Company. In determining whether an outlay will be material, the Company considers the expected future cash flows based on facts, historical experience and probabilities associated with such future events. Uncertainties exist with respect to estimates made by management and as a result, the actual expenditure may differ from amounts currently reported.
Income taxes
Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.
In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.
2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
(e) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Options, restricted share units and warrants
Options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants, including finders’ warrants, are initially recognized at fair value using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying the valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Such assumptions and judgments are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions can affect the fair value estimates of stock-based compensation.
Expected credit losses on financial assets
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.
Functional currency
The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. Determination of functional currency involves significant judgments and other entities may make different judgments based on similar facts. Periodically, the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its business if there is a change in the underlying transactions, events or conditions which determine its primary economic environment.
Shares issued for non-cash consideration
The Company is required to recognize these transactions at fair value which requires judgment in selecting valuation techniques and other factors.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies
(a) Current and Non-Current Classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is either expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Current and Non-Current Classification (continued)
A liability is classified as current when it is either expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(b) Cash
Cash in the consolidated statements of financial position comprises cash at a chartered bank in Canada and funds held in trust with the Company’s legal counsels which is available on demand.
(c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Title to E&E assets including mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing historical characteristic of many properties. The Company has investigated title to all its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, titles to all its mineral properties are in good standing.
The Company accounts for E&E assets in accordance with IFRS 6. Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation are recognized and capitalized, in addition to acquisition costs. These expenditures include but are not limited to acquiring licenses, researching and analyzing existing exploration data, conducting geological studies, exploration drilling and sampling and payments made to contractors and consultants in connection with the exploration and evaluation of the property. Costs not directly attributable to E&E activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Acquisition costs incurred in obtaining legal right to explore a mineral property are deferred until the legal right is granted and thereon reclassified to mineral properties. Transaction costs incurred in acquiring an asset are deferred until the transaction is completed and then included in the purchase price of the asset acquired.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, E&E expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those E&E expenditure costs, in excess of the estimated recoverable amount, are written off to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company assesses E&E assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”) and value-in-use (“VIU”).
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered a mine under development. E&E assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments
The Company classifies and measures financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position when it becomes a party to the financial instrument or derivative contract.
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: (a) those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL; (b) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”); and (c) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
The Company’s financial assets include cash, other receivables excluding any sales tax amounts, and due from related party. The Company’s financial liabilities include its accounts payable, due to related parties, lease liabilities, derivative liabilities and other liabilities.
Fair value through profit or loss
This category includes derivative instruments as well as quoted equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVTOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics do not meet the solely payment of principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt and equity instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for sale, and where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are classified as FVTOCI. Movements in fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in profit and loss.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented in “other gains and losses”. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method and presented in “interest income”. As at June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any financial assets at FVTOCI.
Amortized cost
Debt and equity instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method.
The Company’s classification of financial assets and financial liabilities is summarized below:
Cash
| FVTPL
|
Due to/from related parties
| Amortized cost
|
Accounts payable
| Amortized cost
|
Lease liabilities
| Amortized cost
|
Derivative liabilities
| FVTPL
|
Other liabilities
| FVTPL
|
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets, including equity investments, are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or OCI (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For financial liabilities measured subsequently at FVTPL, changes in fair value due to credit risk are recorded in OCI.
Expected credit loss impairment model
Under IFRS 9, the Company recognizes a provision for ECL on financial assets that are measured on amortized cost. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full or when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flow from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
Gains or losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Determination of fair value
The determination of fair value requires judgment and is based on market information, where available and appropriate. The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
(e) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.
Where the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Any intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of FVLCS and VIU. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount but only to the extent that this does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined if no impairment had previously been recognized. A reversal of impairment is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s FVLCS and VIU. The VIU is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or CGU to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a CGU.
(g) Leased Assets
The Company is party to a lease of a mining analyzer which is used for its E&E activities. The Company assesses service arrangements to determine if an asset is explicitly or implicitly specified in the agreement and if it has the right to control the use of the identified asset.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company then recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the lease term using the straight-line method. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The Company elected to recognize expenses for leases with a term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis over the lease term and lease of assets of low value, and not to recognize these short-term leases on the consolidated statements of financial position.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was determined to be about 14%. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of the remeasurement is recognized as a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the ROU asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.
(h) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Provisions (continued)
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
(i) Income Taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or OCI.
Current income tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or payable to, the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded for temporary differences at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of the reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal rights and intent to offset.
Estimates
Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax‑related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(j) Share Capital
Common shares are classified as share capital. Costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from share capital, net of any tax effects.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(k) Share-Based Payments Transactions
The Company operates a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received, or at the fair value of the equity instruments
issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). The fair value of equity-settled stock-based compensation transactions is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve.
If share-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognized, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
Amounts recorded for cancelled or expired unexercised options are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the cancellation or expiry occurs.
The Company also operates a RSUs Plan, where RSUs are granted to directors, employees and consultants from time to time. RSUs are measured at the fair value of the date of grant, based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation on RSUs is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the reserve for RSUs over the vesting period.
From time to time, the Company may also grant RSUs with a put right option, which provides the grantee with the right (the “Put Right Option”), but not the obligation to cause the Company to purchase all or a portion of the vested RSUs at a put purchase price (the “Put Purchase Price”). As the grantee has the choice of settlement through cash or in shares, these RSUs with the Put Right Option are considered to be a compound financial instrument that includes both a liability component and an equity component. At the measurement date, the Company accounts for the two components separately i.e. applying the requirements for cash-settled share-based payments to the liability component and applying the requirements for equity-settled share-based payments to the equity component, if that component has a recognized value. Applying the requirements for equity-settled share-based payments, the value of the equity component is not remeasured subsequently. Applying the requirements for cash-settled share-based payments, the liability is remeasured at each reporting date and on settlement date to its fair value.
If the grantee chooses cash settlement, then the cash payment settles the liability. Any equity component previously recognized in equity remains in equity. If the grantee employee chooses settlement in equity instruments, then the liability is transferred to equity as consideration for issuing the equity instruments.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(l) Warrants
Share purchase warrants (each a “Warrant”) are classified as a component of equity. Warrants issued along with shares in an equity unit financing are measured using the residual approach, whereby the fair value of the Warrant is determined after deducting the fair value of the shares from the unit price less applicable financing costs. Warrants issued for broker/financing compensation, are recognized at the fair value using Black-Scholes at the date of issuance. Warrants are initially recorded as a part of the reserves in warrant in equity at the recognized fair value.
Upon exercise of the Warrants, the previously recognized fair value of the Warrants exercised is reallocated to share capital from warrants reserve. Proceeds generated from the payment of the exercise price are also allocated to share capital. Amounts recorded for expired unexercised warrants are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the expiry occurs.
(m) Flow-Through Shares
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the year is disclosed separately.
The issuance of flow-through common shares results in the tax deductibility of the qualifying resource expenditures funded from the proceeds of the sales of such common shares being transferred to the purchasers of the shares. On the issuance of such shares, the Company bifurcates the flow-through shares into a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated fair value of the premium that investors pay for the flow-through tax feature, which is recognized as a liability, and equity values of share capital and/or warrants. As related exploration expenditures are incurred, the Company derecognizes the premium liability and recognizes the related recovery.
(n) Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
(o) Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than CAD are translated into CAD at the rate of the consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in its functional currency, determined on the basis of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Given that operations are in Canada, the presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the then prevailing rates and non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated into the entity’s functional currency at rates in effect at the date the transaction took place.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(o) Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the period in which they arise.
(p) Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

ACME Option Agreement
On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “ACME Option Agreement”) with ACME Lithium Inc. (“ACME”), pursuant to which ACME has granted the Company the option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the mineral claims held by ACME at its Manitoba lithium project areas, located in south eastern Manitoba,
Canada (the “Shatford Lake Project”), which is comprised of 37 mineral claims located over three project areas - Shatford Lake, Birse Lake, and Cat-Euclid Lake, totaling approximately 17,000 acres.
Pursuant to the ACME Option Agreement, the Company may exercise the option by paying a total of $800,000 and incurring a total of $1,800,000 in exploration and development (“E&D”) expenditures over a two-year period, as follows:
·Initial payment: Cash payment of $20,000 (paid);
·Upon execution: Cash payment of $130,000 (paid);
·First year: Cash payment of $150,000 and minimum E&D expenditures of $600,000; and
·Second year: Cash payment of $500,000 and minimum E&D expenditures of $1,200,000.
Once the Company has earned a 90% undivided interest in the Shatford Lake Project, and completed a positive feasibility study, a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) between Snow Lake and ACME will be formed for further development, the detailed market standard terms and conditions of which will be agreed at the time of formation of the Joint Venture.
Muskrat Dam Option Agreement
On February 5, 2024, the Company entered into another option agreement (the “Muskrat Dam Option Agreement”) with a private Manitoba company (“Manco”) to acquire a 90% undivided interest in a group of mineral claims in the Muskrat Dam Lake area of Western Ontario, near Kenora and the border with Manitoba (the “Muskrat Dam Project”). Pursuant to the Muskrat Dam Option Agreement, Manco had granted the Company the option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the Muskrat Dam Project upon the following terms and conditions:
6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)
Pursuant to the Muskrat Dam Option Agreement, the Company paid $50,000, issued an aggregate of 500,000 common shares (Note 13), and granted 2,000,000 2024 Settlement Warrants (each a 2024 Settlement Warrant), whereby each 2024 Settlement Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of USD $1.50 (see Note 10).
The option agreement was amended and terminated on June 28, 2024, and the Company issued an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares in consideration for the termination (see Note 13). The 2,000,000 2024 Settlement Warrants previously issued were cancelled (see Note 10). A loss on termination of the Muskrat Dam Option Agreement of $4,652,894 was recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, consisting of $3,415,591 related to the issuance of termination shares, $2,805,780 related to previously capitalized E&E assets that were written off, net of $1,568,557 related to the derecognition of the derivative liability associated with the cancelled 2024 Settlement Warrants.
Engo Valley Uranium Project
On February 20, 2024, the Company and a British Columbia company (the “Vendor”) entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire 100% of Engo Valley Pty Ltd. (“Engo Valley”), a private Australian company, pursuant to which Snow Lake will acquire up to 85% undivided indirect interest in Namibia Minerals and Investment Holdings (Proprietary) Limited (the “Project Company”), a private Namibian company, which in turn is the sole registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the right, title and interest in the Exclusive Prospecting License - 5887 (the “License”) for the Engo Valley Uranium Project.
In July 2024, subsequent to year end, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Engo Valley in two stages, as follows:
(a) First Stage Interest
Snow Lake acquired an initial 80% undivided interest in Engo Valley, which represents a 68% undivided indirect interest in the Project Company (the “First Stage Interest”), upon:
·payment to the Vendor of USD $250,000 in cash (paid);
·incurring exploration expenditures of a minimum of USD $200,000 (incurred); and
·allotting and issuing to the Vendor 2,024,496 common shares (issued subsequent to year end).
(b) Second Stage Interest
The Company will acquire an additional 20% undivided interest in Engo Valley, which represents a 17% undivided indirect interest in the Project Company by (the “Second Stage Interest”), for a total undivided indirect interest of 85% in the Project Company, upon:
·incurring additional exploration expenditures of a minimum of USD $800,000 on or before June 30, 2025, provided, that any expenditures we incurred in excess of the USD $200,000 minimum exploration expenditures in connection with our acquisition of the First Stage Interest will be credited against the expenditure commitment for the Second Stage Interest.
6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)
After the Company acquires the Second Stage Interest, the Company will be obligated to make the following payments to the Vendor, in the form of our common shares, upon the achievement of the following milestones:
i)Milestone Payment No. 1: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 10 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 250 parts per million, or ppm, U3O8, the Company will issue an aggregate of 1,030,927 common shares; and
ii)Milestone Payment No. 2: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 25 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 250 ppm U3O8, the Company will issue an aggregate of 1,030,927 common shares.
Black Lake Uranium Project
On May 8, 2024, Snow Lake entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Global Uranium Acquisition Corp (Pty) Ltd ("Global Uranium"), a private Australian company, which in turn, has entered into a mineral property option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Doctors Investment Group Ltd. ("Doctors"), a private British Columbia company, pursuant to which Global can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project.
Snow Lake agreed to acquire Global Uranium in consideration of:
·payment of $50,000 in cash (paid);
·issuance of 1,000,000 common shares upon execution of the share purchase agreement (issued); and
·issuance of 1,000,000 common shares in the event that an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines that there is a uranium mineral resource on the Black Lake Uranium Project of a minimum of 10 million pounds U3O8 with a minimum average grade of 500 ppm U3O8 per tonne.
The acquisition was completed on June 21, 2024, and was accounted for as an asset acquisition as Global Uranium does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3. As Global Uranium had net assets of $nil on the date of acquisition, the full value of the consideration given up by the Company has been allocated to exploration and evaluation assets.
The Option Agreement provides that Global Uranium can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project as follows:
a.Cash Payments by Global Uranium to Doctors of the following amounts:
i.$50,000 within 2 days of signing the Option Agreement (paid);
ii.$150,000 within 30 days of signing the Option Agreement (paid);
iii.$250,000 on or before the first anniversary of signing the Option Agreement;
iv.$350,000 on or before the second anniversary of signing the Option Agreement;
v.$400,000 on or before the third anniversary of signing the Option Agreement; and
vi.$600,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of signing the Option Agreement.
6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)
b.Exploration Expenditures – Global Uranium incurring the following exploration expenditures on the Black Lake Uranium Project:
i.$500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the first anniversary of the signing of the Option Agreement;
ii.$500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the second anniversary of the signing of the Option Agreement; and
iii.$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the third anniversary of the signing of the Option Agreement.
Global Uranium has the right under the Option Agreement to accelerate both cash payments and/or the exploration expenditures prescribed under the Option Agreement.

The grant date fair value attributable to these options was $7,167,552, of which $848,520 was recorded as stock-based compensation in connection with the vesting of these options during the year ended June 30, 2023 (2022 – $6,084,861).

20. Capital Management
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern such that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The management of the capital structure is based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties and to maintain the Company in good standing with the various regulatory authorities. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell assets to settle liabilities, issue debt instruments or return capital to its shareholders. The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than the flow-through obligations from the Offering.

21. Financial Risks |
21. Financial Risks
The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to financial instruments. Management, in conjunction with the Board, mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management process. There have not been any changes in the nature of these risks or the process of managing these risks from the previous reporting periods.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and due from related party, which expose the Company to credit risk should the borrower default on maturity of the instruments. Cash is held with reputable chartered bank in Canada, which is closely monitored by management. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash and due from related party is minimal.
21. Financial Risks (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing and investing activities.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $2,526,957 (June 30, 2023 – $3,840,880; June 30, 2022 - $23,792,408) to settle current liabilities of $1,941,111 (June 30, 2023 – $3,883,529; June 30, 2022 - $1,780,877).

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows for a rolling period of 12 months to identify financial requirements. Where insufficient liquidity may exist, the Company may pursue various debt and equity instruments for short or long-term financing of its operations. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet short-term business obligations, after taking into account cash flow requirements from operations and the Company’s cash position as at June 30, 2024.
Flow-through obligations
Pursuant to the terms of flow-through share agreements, the Company is also in the process of complying with its flow-through obligations to subscribers with respect to the Income Tax Act (Canada) requirements for flow-through shares. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had spent a total of $2,457,316 on eligible expenditures towards its flow-through obligations, with a remaining balance of $5,249,976 to be spent by December 31, 2024.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to floating interest rates. Management believes that the interest rate risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is minimal.
21. Financial Risks (continued)
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company will be subject to foreign currency fluctuations in satisfying obligations related to its foreign activities. The Company has from time to time, financial instruments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies, notably in USD. The Company’s primary exposure to foreign exchange risk is that transactions denominated in foreign currency may expose the Company to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Based on its current operations, management believes that the foreign exchange risk remains minimal.
Fair value
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
As at June 30, 2024 the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable, due to related parties, lease liabilities, derivative liabilities and other liabilities.
The fair value of due from related party, accounts payable and due to related parties are approximately equal to their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the lease liabilities approximate their carrying amounts as they were measured taking into consideration comparable instruments with similar risks in determining the rates at which to discount their amount in applying their respective measurement models.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
·Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
·Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

22. Contingencies
The Company’s E&E activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. As at June 30, 2024, the Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company expects to make future expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
As of June 30, 2024, Snow Lake has made a claim against certain former directors of the Company and their holding companies for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty as a result of, amongst other matters, of those directors approving changes to the consulting agreements between the former CEO and COO and their holding companies, for termination payments of USD $1,392,000 (to USD $1,872,000) during a time where it was clear that a change of control of the Company was imminent and increased the range of instances where they would be eligible for those payments. The Company takes the position that the amendments are void and that the former CEO and COO were not entitled to any payments under their consulting agreements. Snow Lake seeks to recover the payments made to the former CEO and COO.
As of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, all defendants have now filed Statements of Defence. All defendants have made counterclaims seeking indemnification for legal fees incurred in responding to this claim in relation to directors’ indemnity agreements they have with the Company. The Company takes the position that the defendants are not eligible for indemnity payments as a result of their breaches of fiduciary duties. The next step will be for the Company to file its Replies and Defences to Counterclaims, and then proceed to discovery. As at June 30, 2024, as the outcome of the claims remains uncertain, the Company had not recognized any contingent assets on the consolidated statements of financial position.
On July 13, 2023, the Company also filed an application against its former Manitoba law firm seeking to assess for reasonableness certain invoices of the law firm rendered between May 2022 and January 2023, as well as the repayment of any fees paid to the law firm which the Court finds to be unreasonable. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company received an aggregate amount of $150,000, relating to compensation against applications filed against certain former legal counsels.

(c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets |
(c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Title to E&E assets including mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing historical characteristic of many properties. The Company has investigated title to all its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, titles to all its mineral properties are in good standing.
The Company accounts for E&E assets in accordance with IFRS 6. Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation are recognized and capitalized, in addition to acquisition costs. These expenditures include but are not limited to acquiring licenses, researching and analyzing existing exploration data, conducting geological studies, exploration drilling and sampling and payments made to contractors and consultants in connection with the exploration and evaluation of the property. Costs not directly attributable to E&E activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Acquisition costs incurred in obtaining legal right to explore a mineral property are deferred until the legal right is granted and thereon reclassified to mineral properties. Transaction costs incurred in acquiring an asset are deferred until the transaction is completed and then included in the purchase price of the asset acquired.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, E&E expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those E&E expenditure costs, in excess of the estimated recoverable amount, are written off to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company assesses E&E assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”) and value-in-use (“VIU”).
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered a mine under development. E&E assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.

(d) Financial Instruments |
(d) Financial Instruments
The Company classifies and measures financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position when it becomes a party to the financial instrument or derivative contract.
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: (a) those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL; (b) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”); and (c) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
The Company’s financial assets include cash, other receivables excluding any sales tax amounts, and due from related party. The Company’s financial liabilities include its accounts payable, due to related parties, lease liabilities, derivative liabilities and other liabilities.
Fair value through profit or loss
This category includes derivative instruments as well as quoted equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVTOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics do not meet the solely payment of principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt and equity instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for sale, and where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are classified as FVTOCI. Movements in fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in profit and loss.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented in “other gains and losses”. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method and presented in “interest income”. As at June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any financial assets at FVTOCI.
Amortized cost
Debt and equity instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method.
The Company’s classification of financial assets and financial liabilities is summarized below:
Cash
| FVTPL
|
Due to/from related parties
| Amortized cost
|
Accounts payable
| Amortized cost
|
Lease liabilities
| Amortized cost
|
Derivative liabilities
| FVTPL
|
Other liabilities
| FVTPL
|
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets, including equity investments, are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or OCI (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For financial liabilities measured subsequently at FVTPL, changes in fair value due to credit risk are recorded in OCI.
Expected credit loss impairment model
Under IFRS 9, the Company recognizes a provision for ECL on financial assets that are measured on amortized cost. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full or when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts.

(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flow from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
Gains or losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Determination of fair value
The determination of fair value requires judgment and is based on market information, where available and appropriate. The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

(e) Impairment of Assets |
(e) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.
Where the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Any intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of FVLCS and VIU. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount but only to the extent that this does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined if no impairment had previously been recognized. A reversal of impairment is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

(f) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s FVLCS and VIU. The VIU is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or CGU to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a CGU.

(g) Leased Assets |
(g) Leased Assets
The Company is party to a lease of a mining analyzer which is used for its E&E activities. The Company assesses service arrangements to determine if an asset is explicitly or implicitly specified in the agreement and if it has the right to control the use of the identified asset.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company then recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the lease term using the straight-line method. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The Company elected to recognize expenses for leases with a term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis over the lease term and lease of assets of low value, and not to recognize these short-term leases on the consolidated statements of financial position.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was determined to be about 14%. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of the remeasurement is recognized as a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the ROU asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(i) Income Taxes |
(i) Income Taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or OCI.
Current income tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or payable to, the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded for temporary differences at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of the reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal rights and intent to offset.
Estimates
Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax‑related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(k) Share-Based Payments Transactions
The Company operates a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received, or at the fair value of the equity instruments
issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). The fair value of equity-settled stock-based compensation transactions is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve.
If share-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognized, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
Amounts recorded for cancelled or expired unexercised options are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the cancellation or expiry occurs.
The Company also operates a RSUs Plan, where RSUs are granted to directors, employees and consultants from time to time. RSUs are measured at the fair value of the date of grant, based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation on RSUs is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the reserve for RSUs over the vesting period.
From time to time, the Company may also grant RSUs with a put right option, which provides the grantee with the right (the “Put Right Option”), but not the obligation to cause the Company to purchase all or a portion of the vested RSUs at a put purchase price (the “Put Purchase Price”). As the grantee has the choice of settlement through cash or in shares, these RSUs with the Put Right Option are considered to be a compound financial instrument that includes both a liability component and an equity component. At the measurement date, the Company accounts for the two components separately i.e. applying the requirements for cash-settled share-based payments to the liability component and applying the requirements for equity-settled share-based payments to the equity component, if that component has a recognized value. Applying the requirements for equity-settled share-based payments, the value of the equity component is not remeasured subsequently. Applying the requirements for cash-settled share-based payments, the liability is remeasured at each reporting date and on settlement date to its fair value.
If the grantee chooses cash settlement, then the cash payment settles the liability. Any equity component previously recognized in equity remains in equity. If the grantee employee chooses settlement in equity instruments, then the liability is transferred to equity as consideration for issuing the equity instruments.

Share purchase warrants (each a “Warrant”) are classified as a component of equity. Warrants issued along with shares in an equity unit financing are measured using the residual approach, whereby the fair value of the Warrant is determined after deducting the fair value of the shares from the unit price less applicable financing costs. Warrants issued for broker/financing compensation, are recognized at the fair value using Black-Scholes at the date of issuance. Warrants are initially recorded as a part of the reserves in warrant in equity at the recognized fair value.
Upon exercise of the Warrants, the previously recognized fair value of the Warrants exercised is reallocated to share capital from warrants reserve. Proceeds generated from the payment of the exercise price are also allocated to share capital. Amounts recorded for expired unexercised warrants are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the expiry occurs.

Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the year is disclosed separately.
The issuance of flow-through common shares results in the tax deductibility of the qualifying resource expenditures funded from the proceeds of the sales of such common shares being transferred to the purchasers of the shares. On the issuance of such shares, the Company bifurcates the flow-through shares into a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated fair value of the premium that investors pay for the flow-through tax feature, which is recognized as a liability, and equity values of share capital and/or warrants. As related exploration expenditures are incurred, the Company derecognizes the premium liability and recognizes the related recovery.

- DefinitionThe amount of liabilities that are: (a) a contractual obligation: (i) to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or (ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity; or (b) a contract that will, or may be, settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is: (i) a non-derivative for which the entity is, or may be, obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments; or (ii) a derivative that will, or may be, settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments. For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for those purposes the entity’s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16A-16B of IAS 32, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments. As an exception, an instrument that meets the definition of a financial liability is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the features and meets the conditions in paragraphs 16A-16B or paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32.
