Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. is an exploration stage lithium mining company. (Incorporated in British Columbia)
We are an exploration stage lithium mining company with properties located in Manitoba, Canada. We control exploration stage lithium properties in the Snow Lake region of Manitoba encompassing over 43,000 acres (17,500 hectares) consisting of 78 mineral claims, which are referred to herein as the Zoro Property, the Jean Lake Property, the Grass River Property, the Peg North Property, and the Jol Property. We collectively refer to our Zoro, Jean Lake, Grass River and Peg North Properties, which we consider to be our material properties, as our Lithium Lane Properties; we consider the Jol Property and our Winston Property to be non-core properties. We seek to become one of the first North American companies to produce high quality SC6 that could be used to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide (“LiOH”). LiOH is a strategic battery mineral mainly used as a component in the production of lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries. Li-ion batteries power the daily use of consumer electronics, enable electrification of the transportation sector, and provide stationary grid storage, which is critical to meeting the needs of the electric vehicle industry.
Our primary focus is conducting discovery exploration for lithium at our Lithium Lane Properties. We are strategically located to supply the United States (“U.S.”) “Auto Alley,” from Michigan to the southern U.S., and the European battery market via our nearby access to the Hudson Bay Railway and the Port of Churchill. With access to renewable hydroelectric energy produced in Manitoba, we believe we have the potential to be a supplier in North American mined lithium with the benefit of hydroelectric power, substantially all of which is produced from sustainable, local sources.

**Note: “On July 5, 2023, we effected the Share Consolidation of our issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of 1-for-50. Following the Share Consolidation, each 50 of our issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted into one issued and outstanding post-consolidation common share, without any change in par value per share. Each fractional common share remaining after consolidation that is less than 1/2 of a common share shall be cancelled and each fractional common share that is at least 1/2 of a common share shall be rounded up to one whole common share. No cash consideration will be paid in respect of fractional common shares which are cancelled. The Share Consolidation did not affect the number of shares of authorized stock. Our common shares began trading on an adjusted basis giving effect to the Share Consolidation on July 5, 2023.
“The purpose of the Share Consolidation was to allow us to meet the stock price threshold of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
“Except for our historical financial statements, all option, share, and per share information in this prospectus gives effect to the Share Consolidation.“
