Foremost Lithium Returns 2.13% Li2O and 1.86% Li2O in Samples from its Zoro and Jean Lake Properties and Begins Preparation for Winter Drill Program
Foremost Lithium Returns 2.13% Li2O and 1.86% Li2O in Samples from
its Zoro and Jean Lake Properties and Begins Preparation for Winter
Drill Program
Highlights Include:
• Initial phase of rock sampling return assay of up to 2.13% Li2O at the Zoro Lithium
Project and values of up to 1.86% Li2O at Jean Lake Lithium Project
• Jean Lake Property displayed promising lithium mineralization with significant upside
potential.
• Zoro Project presents further potential to delineate future resources on spodumene -
bearing dykes.
Vancouver, British Columbia – October 12, 2023 – Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology
Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“ Foremost Lithium”, “Foremost” or the “ Company”), a North
American hard-rock lithium exploration company, today announced positive results returned from
the rock sampling program on its Peg North, Grass River Claims, Jean Lake, and Zoro properties,
including high-grade lithium values and spodumene mineralization at both the Zoro and Jean Lake
Property.
Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. (“DGC”) conducted a large-scale surface exploration program on
Foremost’s four Lithium Lane properties for Lithium Cesium Tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatites this past
summer, focusing interest towards pre -defined, high -priority targets on the Zoro and Jean Lake
Property.
“The compilation of work has yielded highly promising results from sampling to date, and the team at
Dahrouge continues to demonstrate their ability to execute a success ful exploration program ,” said
Jason Barnard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Foremost Lithium. “Our 2023 exploration
campaign is focusing on our high -quality assets and is supported by extensive geological data. The
potential of this fertile area gives us great confidence as we define drill targets in preparation in this
upcoming drill program. We look forward to proving results for our company and our shareholders.”
Samples were shipped to SGS Laboratories (Burnaby) for analysis which used a total dissolution of
the sample by sodium peroxide fusion and ICP -MS �inish. This analytical approach is the standard
analytical technique used by the Company on its Zoro and Jean Lake lithium projects. QAQC samples
were inserted into the sample sequence at a rate of 5%, utilizing certi�ied reference material and
quartz blanks.

At the Zoro Property, the mapped spodumene occurrence at Dyke 1, was revisited for sampling and
detailed structural mapping to assist with targeting for the upcoming winter drill season. This was
revisited for sampling and hosts an inferred resources of 1,074,567 tons at a grade of 0.91% Li2O,
with a cut-off of 0.3% in accordance with the Company’s SK-1300 Technical Report Summary (2023)
and NI -43101 Technical Report (2018). DCG verified the presence of spodumene -mineralized
pegmatite on surface at Dyke 1. Eight (8) pegmatite samples, five (5) containing spodumene, were
collected for assay. Assay highlights can be found in Table 1.

Jean Lake Property
Spodumene-pegmatite occurrences (B1, B2, and B3) that are collectively known as the “Beryl
Pegmatites” were sampled and mapped in further detail to assist with drill targeting for the upcoming
drill season. Additional overburden was stripped from the B1 and B2 occurrence, revealing more
spodumene mineralization. Four (4) chip samples were collected during the 2023 field program,
three (3) of which were fro m spodumene bearing pegmatite. Samples taken from the B1 pegmatite
hosted coarse-grained, pale green spodumene that ranged from 5cm to 0.70m (Photo 1). Samples
taken from the B2 pegmatite hosted abundant apple-green to yellow-green spodumene that ranged
from 5cm to 15cm (Photo 3). Assay highlights are presented in Table 2 below.
