(CSE: FAT) (OTCQB: FRRSF) (FSE: F0R0) (WKN: A3DCC8) (\"Foremost Lithium\", \"Foremost\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed a 24-hole 3,002 metre drill program on its Jean Lake Lithium Project located near the historic mining district of Snow Lake, Manitoba. The Company collected a total of 246 drill-core samples and 10 outcrop chip samples during the program and all samples have been shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Ancaster, Ontario) for lithium and gold assays with results expected to be released within this second quarter.Lithium: B1-B2 Continuous Pegmatite DykeThe drill results from the current program, combined with field observations and historic information from Manitoba government files strongly suggests that the B1 and B2 pegmatite dykes are hosted by the same structure. The B3 pegmatite located further west may also be hosted by the same structure, giving a possible strike length of at least 325 metres. The pegmatite-hosting structure may extend further along strike to both east and west; a summer surface stripping program is planned to test this. Fig 1.

The dyke appears to pinch and swell along its irregular strike. The B1 portion of the pegmatite was drill intersected between 6 and 61 metres with intervals of 0.5% to 20% spodumene between 9.8 and 25 metres. Geology Host rocks for the B1 pegmatite are porphyritic and weakly altered and coarse-grained porphyritic gabbro marked by a series of linear magnetic lows which, along with soil geochemi...
