Snow Lake Signs Option Agreement with ACME Lithium for the Shatford Lake Lithium
Project next to the Tanco Mine
Manitoba, CA, January 30, 2024 - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Lithium™ (Nasdaq: LITM) ("Snow Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of December 20, 2023, it has signed an option agreement with ACME Lithium Inc., pursuant to which ACME has granted Snow Lake 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 (the "Shatford lake Lithium Project").
Shatford Lake Lithium Project
The Shatford Lake Lithium Project is comprised of 37 mineral claims located over three project areas - 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. The region hosts hundreds of individual pegmatite bodies, many of which are classified as complex rare-element Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum ("LCT") pegmatites. Thirty-one (31) of the mineral claims are contiguous to the south of Sinomine Corporation's world class Tanco Mine, a LCT producer since 1969.
Snow Lake may exercise the Option by paying a total of CAD$500,000 and incurring a total of CAD$1,800,000 in exploration and development expenditures over a two-year period, as follows:

Once Snow Lake has earned a 90% undivided interest in the 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.
Upon formation of the Joint Venture:
- Snow Lake will hold a 90% interest, and ACME will hold 10% interest in the Joint Venture;
- Snow Lake's 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
- 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 Project.
Geological Setting of Shatford Lithium Project
The Shatford Lithium 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 Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites - known to account for a quarter of the world's lithium production.
The northeast corner of the Shatford Lithium Project borders the mineral lease of the Tanco mine, with the Buck, Pelgi, and Dibs pegmatites nearby.
Proposed Work Program
Snow Lake intends to build upon the prior work undertaken by ACME Lithium on the Project, and its immediate focus is an ongoing detailed review of all data, samples, assays and reports prepared by ACME Lithium. Snow Lake is in the process of designing an exploration program to both build upon ACME Lithium's work, and to undertake a regional exploration program over the balance of the Project to identify potential drill targets.
Snow Lake also intends to use the services of Critical Discoveries to assist in reviewing ACME Lithium's exploration data, as well as to provide input to the development of the 2024 exploration program on the Shatford Lithium Project.
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.
