Snow Lake Completes its Field Exploration Season on the Shatford Lake Project

Winnipeg, Manitoba–(Newsfile Corp. – October 16, 2024) – Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ: LITM) (“Snow Lake“) announces that the 2024 field exploration season on the Shatford Lake Project has been successfully completed.

Highlights

  • 2024 prospecting / reconnaissance program successfully completed
  • Results included the discovery of numerous pegmatites under heavy overburden
  • Significant discovery of a ~25 – 30 meter-wide tantalite-bearing pegmatite on the Cat-Euclid Lake claim block, indicating the potential for lithium, cesium, tantalum mineralization similar to the Tanco Mine

We are extremely pleased with our 2024 field exploration program” commented Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. He continued: “In particular, the discovery of a large tantalite-bearing pegmatite at the Cat-Euclid Lake area confirms our confidence in the potential of the Shatford Lake Project to host LCT mineralization, and we look forward to further exploration in 2025 to test these discoveries.”

About the Shatford Lake Project

The Shatford Lake Project (the “Project“) is an exploration stage project located in Southern Manitoba, contiguous to the southern boundary of the Tanco Mine. The region hosts hundreds of individual pegmatite bodies, many of which are classified as complex rare-element lithium-cesium-tantalum (“LCT“) pegmatites. Accordingly, the Shatford Lake Project holds the potential for LTC mineralization.

The 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. Thirty-one of the mineral claims are contiguous to the Tanco Mine. Snow Lake has entered into an option agreement with ACME Lithium Inc. (“ACME“), pursuant to which ACME has granted Snow Lake the option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in the Project.

Tanco Mine

The Tanco Mine is located on the northwest shore of Bernic Lake, Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, and is 100% owned and operated by Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada Ltd. (“Tanco“), a subsidiary of Sinomine (Hong Kong) Rare Metals Resource Co. The Tanco Mine pegmatite orebody was discovered in the late 1920’s and the Tanco Mine has been in commercial operation producing tantalum, cesium and lithium in Manitoba for more than 50 years. Cesium is mined in the form of the mineral pollucite at the Tanco Mine, which currently holds 82% of the world’s known reserves of pollucite.

Clean Energy Opportunities

As a clean energy company, Snow Lake continues to review North American net-zero resource opportunities in the clean energy space that have the potential to be commercialized, create shareholder value, and complement its current portfolio of uranium and lithium projects.
