Company. We anticipate her accomplished background in finance and
capital markets will help generate long-term shareholder value as
we execute to become a key contributor to the North American EV

Professional Accountant, Certified General Accountant, and holds a
CRM designation from Simon Fraser University and a diploma in

juncture in the Company’s evolution,” said Ms. Bhullar. “Drawing on
my depth of experience with Nasdaq-listed companies, I will focus
on integrating robust financial management systems and enhancing
the Company’s corporate governance. I look forward to joining this
talented team and contributing to the Company’s immense growth
opportunity.”
Foremost Lithium’s Board of Directors and management team wishes
to thank Cyrus Driver for his service and notable contributions.
Mr. Driver has played a significant role in the Company’s
transition and the Company is appreciative of all his efforts and
wishes him continued success.
