CERTAIN INFORMATION

As used in this Annual Report on Form 20-F (this “Annual Report”), unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to

“we,” “Snow Lake,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “our company” are to Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (d/b/a Snow Lake Energy), including its subsidiaries;

“common shares” are to our common shares, no par value; and

“Nasdaq” are to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In this Annual Report, references to “Canada” are to Canada and its provinces and territories; references to “$,” “USD,” “dollars,” “USD$” or “U.S. dollars” are to the legal currency of the United States; and references to “C$,” or “Canadian dollar” are to the legal currency of Canada.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, this Annual Report contains translations of certain Canadian dollar amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates. Except as otherwise stated in this Annual Report, all translations from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars are based on the closing rate of C$1.3687 per $1.00 for cable transfers of Canadian dollars, as certified by Bank of Canada on June 28, 2024. On October 28, 2024, the closing rate for Canadian dollar was C$1.3895 per US$1.00. No representation is made that such Canadian dollar amounts referred to in this Annual Report could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding.

The audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. Our fiscal year end is June 30.

Share Consolidation, or the Reverse Split

On October 7, 2021, we effectuated a one-for-five reverse stock split of our common shares, or the Reverse Split. The historical audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report have been adjusted for the Reverse Split. Unless otherwise indicated, all other share and per share data in this Annual Report have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Split.

At the shareholders meeting held on May 2, 2024, approval was given to undertake a reverse stock split of our common shares at a ratio to be determined by the board of directors, at its sole discretion, at such time as the board of directors deems appropriate, but in any event no later than May 1, 2027.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in, but not limited to, the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Information on the Company”, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our goals and strategies;

expectations regarding revenue, expenses and operations;

expectations regarding demand for, and prices of, minerals;

our having sufficient working capital and being able to secure additional funding necessary for the continued exploration of our property interests;

expectations regarding the potential mineralization, geological merit and economic feasibility of our projects;

expectations regarding exploration results at any of our projects;

mineral exploration and exploration program cost estimates;

expectations regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploration programs and the potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations;

receipt and timing of exploration permits and other third-party approvals;

government regulation of mineral exploration and development operations;

expectations regarding any social or local community issues that may affected planned or future exploration and development programs; and

key personnel continuing their employment with us.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “project” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.
