Foremost Lithium Announces a 7,500 Metre Winter Drill Program on Its Zoro Lithium Property

Exploration Programs

Drilling at Zoro will Focus on Dyke 1 as It Is Open Along Strike and at Depth Providing Excellent Potential for Further Resource Development

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 28, 2023 - Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost Lithium”, “Foremost” or the “Company”), a North American hard-rock lithium exploration company, is pleased to announce today its drilling plans on its Zoro Lithium Property located near the historic mining centre of Snow Lake in Manitoba. The Company is comple�ng plans in prepara�on of 30-hole, 7,500-metre diamond drill winter program including submi�ng work permits at the Manitoba Mines Branch. The drill program on the Zoro Property will be in addi�on to the Company’s recently announced 2,500 metre diamond drill program on its Jean Lake Lithium/Gold Property located in the same mining centre. Drilling on both proper�es will total 10,000 metres.

Foremost Lithium’s Zoro and Jean Lake Proper�es share con�guous borders with Snow Lake Lithium’s Thompson Brothers and Grass River proper�es, which are disclosed as having an aggregate measured, indicated and inferred resource es�mate of approximately 8.2 million tonnes of 1% Li2O. The Zoro Property is directly adjacent to the Thompson Brother’s (“TB”) lithium trend, known for hos�ng several lithium enriched occurrences. The Zoro Property is also adjacent to the Crowduck Bay Fault which is a significant regional focus for the development of lithium-enriched pegma�te clusters (Figure 1).

Jason Barnard, Chief Execu�ve Officer and President of Foremost Lithium, comments: “This is the most aggressive drill program our company has embarked on to date. With the most recent announcement of drilling on our Jean Lake Lithium/Gold Property, we will be running two winter drill programs on two different projects for a combined 10,000 metres of drilling this winter. We are pleased to be working our first drill program with Dahrouge and feel confident that we will be able to optimize our resource potential on both our Zoro and Jean Lake Properties to increase shareholder value.”

Dyke 1

Drilling at the Zoro Property will focus on Dyke 1, which par�ally outcrops at surface and hosts an inferred resource from a single high-grade lithium bearing spodumene pegma�te of 1,074,567 tons at a grade of 0.91% Li2O, with a cut-off of 0.3%, as set forth in the Company’s filed SK-1300 Technical Report Summary (2023) and NI-43-101 Technical Report (2018). Mineraliza�on is defined for 265 metres along strike and to a depth of 265 metres and atains widths of up to 40 metres. Dyke 1 has not been drilled since 2018 and is open along strike and at depth providing excellent poten�al for further resource development. Figure 2 (below) displays previous historic drill holes in Dyke 1, but also highlights this Dyke 1’s poten�al in the upcoming drill program, as it displays an abundance of undrilled area for further resource development.

Dahrouge Geological Consul�ng (“DGC”) conducted a summer explora�on program with the goal of collec�ng surficial structural data to aid in drill targe�ng while also verifying the presence of spodumene-mineralized pegma�te on surface at Dyke 1. DGC plans to further inves�gate the spodumene-bearing pegma�tes on Dykes 8, 3 and 16 with this drill program (Figure 3).

Dyke 8

Dyke 8 has been previously intersected by eight holes (total of 98.25 metres), intersec�ng highgrade lithium in 36.5 metres of spodumene-bearing pegma�te, including, 12.3 metres of 1.1%, Li2O, 4.4 metres of 1.2% Li2O and 2.2 metres of 1.5% Li2O. This Dyke has been defined over 120 metres in length, 5-15 metres in width and has been drilled to a depth of 157 meters and remains open in all direc�ons. Dyke 3 is also open in all direc�ons and further drill tes�ng will be performed to confirm the rela�onship between Dyke 8 and Dyke 3 (Figure 4).

DGC is currently finalizing all details of the Zoro Property winter drill program, including securing all vendors and facili�es. Drilling is expected to commence in Q1 of 2024 and Foremost will provide addi�onal updates in in due course.
