Foremost Lithium has received a permit from the Province of Manitoba to extract a bulk sample from its Zoro Lithium Project.

The project is located in the historic mining district of Snow Lake, Manitoba.

Foremost Lithium plans to extract a 500-kilogram bulk sample from Dyke 1 on the Zoro Lithium Project.

The bulk sample will be analyzed for metallurgical testing and process development.

The goal for the bulk sample is to show that the Zoro Lithium Project is suitable to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide.

CEO and President of Foremost Lithium, Scott Taylor, comments.

“In addition to the Zoro Lithium Project, recently collected samples from our Jean Lake Lithium Project returned high-grade assays of 3.89% to 5.17% Li2O%. Given the similarity in mineralogy of the Beryl pegmatite to Dyke 1 on the Zoro property, the potential to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide from the Beryl pegmatite is a distinct possibility.”

Foremost Lithium is an energy technology company focusing on producing high-quality battery-grade lithium hydroxide domestically.

Foremost Lithium is up 3.51 per cent at C$0.295 per share at 12:12 PM EST.
