[{"type":"text","content":" Winnipeg, Manitoba and Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 13, 2025) - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ: LITM) (\"Snow Lake\") is pleased to announce the discovery of elevated gallium values from bedrock grab samples at the Mound Lake Property in Ontario, which it holds in partnership with Free Battery Metal Limited (formerly, Titus Energy Corp.) (\"Free Battery\") (CSE: FREE). This milestone underscores Snow Lake's commitment to securing next-generation and high-demand critical minerals. Gallium, ranked by the United States as the #1 critical mineral by supply risk1, highlighted by China's recent export ban of gallium, (China accounts for 98.8% of the world's supply of refined gallium) 2 is essential for AI technologies, data centers, and clean energy solutions. This discovery solidifies Snow Lake's position as a key player in the supply chain for minerals driving the global energy transition and technological revolution. \"Our discovery of gallium is a key moment for Snow Lake as we continue to build a portfolio of minerals critical to the AI revolution and the accompanying forecasted surge in global energy demand,\" said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. \"While we follow up on this promising find, we remain committed to expanding and diversifying our portfolio to ensure Snow Lake plays a central role in supplying the materials needed to power data centers, AI, and clean energy technologies, with nuclear technologies of particular focus.\" \"This exciting discovery complements Snow Lake's existing portfolio, which includes critical lithium and uranium projects essential for clean energy systems and next-generation technologies. Snow Lake remains steadfast in its mission to not only advance its current projects but also identify and secure new opportunities to meet the growing global demand for critical materials,\" added Mr. Wheatley. Gallium: The Mineral Powering AI and Data Centers Gallium's unparalleled thermal and electrical properties make it indispensable for high-efficiency semiconductors, including gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN). These materials are essential for AI applications, advanced data centers, and high-performance computing, where they enable faster processing speeds and improved energy efficiency. \"As the world experiences an unprecedented boom in AI and m...
