Superior Lake Resources Limited (ASX: SUP) (“Superior Lake” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide its quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 31 March 2021.
Completion of vend of Superior Lake Zinc Project
Post Quarter end, the Company successfully completed the divestment of its Superior Lake Zinc Project (“ Project ”) to TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV ”) listed company Metallum Resources Inc. (TSXV: MZN) ( “Metallum” ), previously known as CROPS Inc. (“ Transaction ”). The Company received 128,920,000 Metallum shares and $0.75 million cash.
Disposal of the Project allows the Company to maintain an indirect interest in the Project without having to incur the associated costs of maintaining and developing the Project and will enable the Company to focus on, and apply the proceeds from the Transaction towards, sourcing new opportunities which the Board believes will add value to Shareholders.

If the Company does not demonstrate compliance with this rule to ASX’s satisfaction by the six month anniversary, ASX will suspend trading in the Company’s securities. Compliance with Listing Rule 12.1 will be considered in the context of any proposed recompliance transaction.
North American Uranium Strategy
The Company continued to progress its North American uranium strategy, which entails consideration of various potential opportunities, including the acquisition of exploration properties and production assets.

As at the date of lodgement of this Appendix 5B the Company’s cash balance is $1,266,000 . Based on the formula above this would give the Company 3.8 quarters of cashflow. It is expected that the net operating cashflow outflows will likely decrease in the next quarter. The Company spent $69,000 during the quarter on environmental and holding costs of its now divested zinc project. During the following quarter this will reduce to zero.
