Snow Lake Resources

Executive Summary

Snow Lake Resources (“ Snow Lake ”) is a private Canadian exploration company focusing exclusively on lithium exploration in central Manitoba.

Snow Lake’s primary asset is the 100% owned Thompson Brother’s Lithium Project, located 20 km from Snow Lake, Manitoba.

Significant field work has been completed to date with a historical JORC compliant, inferred resource estimate of 6.3 Mt grading 1.38% Li2O (@0.6 Li2O cutoff) reported. (ASX: 25 July 2018)

Snow Lake has developed a strategic plan for further exploration and development of the project that includes the following milestones:

  • Complete resource update in accordance with NI 43-101 (field work completed) to expand and upgrade to Indicated resources

  • Complete of Preliminary Economic Evaluation study

  • Complete next stage of resource development drilling leading to resource further expand/upgrade to the Measured and Indicated level

Snow Lake Resources has 65 million shares outstanding (2.7 million warrants) and is ~74% owned by Nova Minerals an ASX listed company located in Melbourne, Australia.
