- Contracts with Big Ice Services for Winter Road
- Contracts with QB Drilling for Winter drilling campaign
WINNIPEG, MB / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2021 / Snow Lake Resources Ltd., doing business as Snow Lake Lithium Ltd. (Nasdaq:LITM) ("Snow Lake" or the "Company"), is pleased to update Its progress of execution on the path towards commercial lithium production. Snow Lake has now received all the necessary permitting for the winter drilling campaign. Snow Lake is grateful to the Province of Manitoba and specifically the offices of ARD and MMDF for expediting and facilitating the process so that the drilling crews can mobilize to the operation.
Snow Lake Lithium has contracted BigIce Services Canada from Creighton Saskatchewan (http://bigiceservices.ca/contact-big-ice/) to provide Snow Lake with the necessary winter drill access in order to mobilize the diamond drill to the property. Snow Lake will be constructing approximately 12 km (8 miles) of ice trails (see map 1) to provide winter access to the site. Snow Lake will be collaborating with Kinross Gold (TSX:K) on costs related to the shared portion of the winter access trails.

Snow Lake has also contracted with QB Drilling from Denare Beach Saskatchewan (https://www.qbdrilling.com/) to provide drilling crews and drill rigs that will allow Snow Lake to drill between 5,000-15,000 meters of core, weather depending. Drilling will take place initially on the current TBL Resource block to further expand the deposit to depth and along strike. Additional drilling will take place on other pegmatite targets that have been identified via historical drilling and our recent successful prospecting expedition (see news release of December 6th, 2021: Snow Lake Resources Ltd. Samples Up To 6.97 WT% Li2O from its Manitoba Project). The drill crews will be working 24 hours per day and 7 days a week to achieve maximum meters over the course of the winter campaign.
CEO of Snow Lake Lithium Philip Gross commented "After our successful IPO last month, our primary objective now is to accelerate the path to commercial production. With all the logistics for our winter drilling program now underway, we are systematically progressing our goals for resource expansion and comprehension. Snow Lake Lithium is not just a mining story, it is playing a critical role in a once in a century industrial pivot to electrify the global automobile fleet."
