[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2022) - Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (CSE: FAT) (OTCQB: FRRSF) (FSE: F0R0) (WKN: A3DCC8) (\"Foremost\" or the \"Company\") (www.foremostlithium.com) is pleased to announce it has received assay results from core samples collected from its previously announced ten-hole 1,509 metre drill program on its 100 percent owned Zoro Lithium Project located near the historic mining district of Snow Lake, Manitoba. As disclosed in Table 1, below, highlight assay results include 1.33% Li2O on the newly discovered Dyke 16. The program tested geological and Mobile Metal Ion (\"MMI\") soil geochemical targets and assessed previously discovered Dyke 8 at its deeper levels. Multi-element analyses for lithium and related elements and gold assays were undertaken by Activation Laboratories (\"Actlabs\"; Ancaster, Ontario). John Gravelle, President and CEO of Foremost Lithium, comments, \"The ongoing discovery of the 16th spodumene - bearing pegmatite dyke on our Zoro property has been confirmed by our latest drill program. With the results of a recently completed UAV-assisted magnetic survey and our historic and current exploration database we look forward to defining additional follow-up opportunities for lithium pegmatite diamond drilling exploration on our Zoro property.\" Lithium Dyke 16- The newest spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke to be discovered on the Zoro property. A total of 8.28 metres of spodumene-bearing pegmatite was intersected by two drill holes, DDH FM22-70 and DDHF22-70B in 2022, which intersected spodumene-bearing pegmatites between 32.44m and 35.80m. Assay results vary from 0.04% to 1.33% Li2O in 4 core samples over 3.36m. Hole-DDHFM22-70B, drilled to undercut the first pegmatite intercept, intersected 4.92m of spodumene-bearing pegmatite with lithium contents varying from 0.04% to 1.05% Li2O in 5 core samples (Table 1). Spodumene contents in the dykes vary between 3 and 15%, are light green in colour and occur as individual crystals and crystal aggregates. The host rocks are fine-grained, variably altered foliated basalt. Related metal concentrations in Dyke 16 for Cs (225-476 ppm), Nb (74.9-116.2 ppm) and Ta (28.3-89.7 ppm) compare favourably with those for Dyke 1. Dyke 8- High-grade spodumene pegmatite Dyke 8 was discovered on the Zoro property in 2018...
