Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - April 25, 2024) - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., (NASDAQ: LITM) d/b/a Snow Lake Energy ("Snow Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent with the shareholders of a private Australian company to acquire a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project, located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan (the "Black Lake Uranium Project").

CEO Remarks

"As we continue to expand our portfolio of clean energy and critical mineral projects, we feel that the acquisition of the Black Lake Uranium Project fits nicely with our strategy of acquiring low entry cost projects with historical resources," commented Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. He continued: "With Saskatchewan being a global leader in uranium production, together with having the highest-grade global uranium deposits, we feel the Black Lake Uranium Project gives us an excellent, prospective exploration project in a premier uranium mining district."

Black Lake Uranium Project

Overview

The Black Lake Uranium Project is located in the northeastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, 55 kilometers to the northeast of the town of Stoney Rapids, Saskatchewan. Uranium mineralization was discovered in 1950 and exploration was conducted intermittently by a number of companies during the 1950's and 1970's. The Black Lake Uranium Project is considered to be an exploration stage project with historical, non-modern mining code compliant uranium resources, that would benefit from modern exploration techniques and technology for uranium exploration.

The Black Lake Uranium Project consists of 20 mining claims covering 18,908 hectares and is divided into the following four projects, Higginson Lake, Charlebois Lake, Fisher Hayes and Spreckley Lake, all as more particularly described in Figure 1 and Schedule A.

Geological Setting- Black Lake Uranium Project

In the Black Lake Uranium Project, uranium mineralization occurs in the local geology consisting of a series of pegmatitic and migmatitic rocks, conformably intermixed with metasedimentary units overlying a granitic gneiss basement. These pegmatitic and migmatitic rocks are found to be localIy mineralized with uranium-bearing minerals.

The bedrock in the Black Lake area is composed of an ancient precambrian sedimentary assemblage now folded and fractured and highly metamorphosed by the later granitic intrusive masses. The sedimentary assemblage is thoroughly recrystallized, generally pronounced banded and most are strongly gneissoid or schistose. Pegmatites and related migmatites are closely related and mineralogically similar to the granite, but formed later. They form as dykes and sills and are spatially related to the granite - granite gneiss contact with the metasediments. The area is structurally complex.

Black Lake and the surrounding area is known for its uranium and to a lesser extent molybdenum mineralization in pegmatites and migmatite which occurs as lens like, and possibly en-echelon type bodies within dykes and sills. Radioactivity can be traced continuously along strike over several kilometers. Radioactive minerals of most of the mineralized pegmatites and migmatites are primary accessory constituents; however, some are sheared, while others are injected via hydrothermal solutions.

Historical Exploration

The Black Lake Uranium Project underwent significant exploration during the 1950's and 1970's by a number of companies. The historic programs focused on Higginson Lake and Charlebois Lake and confirmed 28 historic uranium showings. Prior work included a variety of geophysical, geochemical and drilling programs. A total of 13 SMDI (Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index) sites have been recorded on the Higginson Lake Project. The Charlebois Project has extensive uranium showings and in addition to mapping, surveying, trenching and a number of shallow drill holes completed during the 1950's.

Fisher Hayes and Spreckley Lake were also subject to scintillometer surveys, trenching and diamond drilling during the 1950's.

Proposed Work Program

Given the large amount of historical exploration work undertaken during the 1950's and 1970's on the Black Lake Uranium Project, an initial step will be a compilation and review of all historical exploration data. Given the significant advances in exploration techniques, technology and equipment since the 1950's, the first phase of our exploration program for 2024 will likely include an airborne survey over the entire project area. This will be followed by a suite of ground geophysics to refine the results of the airborne survey, as well as to assist in locating high-value drill targets. A program of diamond drilling will follow the identification of drill targets, with the number and depth of drill holes being dependent on results of the target identification phase. Based upon successful drilling, the objective of the work program would be to have an initial SK-1300 compliant mineral resource estimate completed prior the end of 2024.

Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan was the second-largest global producer of uranium in 2022 and accounted for 15% of the world's primary uranium production^[3], was ranked as the 3^rd overall jurisdiction for mining investment according to the Fraser Institute's 2022 annual survey^[4]. Saskatchewan also hosts the world's largest, highest grade uranium deposits, and is the source of almost a quarter of the world's uranium supply for electrical generation.^[5]
