FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the current beliefs, expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections of our management regarding our company and industry. When used in this report, the words “may”, “will”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: our mineral resources described in our most recent S-K 1300 compliant indicated and inferred mineral resource report are only estimates and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved, or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized; volatility in lithium prices and lithium demand may make it commercially unfeasible for us to develop our Thompson Bros Lithium Project; and other risks and uncertainties which are generally set forth under the heading, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our SEC filings. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions about our business and the commercial markets in which we operate prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described as anticipated, estimated or expected in the SEC filings.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or other parties or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

Snow Lake Resources Ltd.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


**1.**Nature of Operations and Going Concern Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Lithium Ltd. (“Snow Lake” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on May 25, 2018. The Company is a Canadian natural resource exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resources through its subsidiaries: Snow Lake Exploration Ltd. and Snow Lake (Crowduck) Ltd. The corporate and principal place of business is 242 Hargrave St. #1700, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 0V1 Canada. On November 22, 2021, the Company was listed for trading under the NASDAQ Composite under the ticker symbol “LITM”. On November 23, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) through the issuance of 3,680,000 common shares, at a price of $9.51 (USD $7.50) per share for gross proceeds of $34,988,520 (USD $27,600,000). Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, undetected defects, unregistered claims, native land claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,936,851 (2021 – $2,412,658) and negative cash flow from operations of $5,959,215 (2021 – $2,230,581), and as at December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,297,772 (June 30, 2022 – accumulated deficit of $10,545,535). The Company had not yet placed any of its mineral properties into production and, as a result, the Company has no source of operating cash flow. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to support operations for the foreseeable future. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. The unpredictability of the mining business represents material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses, and classifications of statements of financial position that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

**2.**Basis of Presentation

**(a)**Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on March 30, 2023.

**(b)**Basis of Measurement

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

**2.**Basis of Presentation (continued)

**(c)**Basis of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.

**(d)**Functional Currency

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“$” or “CAD”), which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

**(e)**Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:

Going concern

At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources, and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows and the Company’s cash position at period-end.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.

Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets

Management has determined that exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.

Provisions

Provisions recognized in the consolidated financial statements involve judgments on the occurrence of future events, which could result in a material outlay for the Company. In determining whether an outlay will be material, the Company considers the expected future cash flows based on facts, historical experience and probabilities associated with such future events. Uncertainties exist with respect to estimates made by management and as a result, the actual expenditure may differ from amounts currently reported.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


**2.**Basis of Presentation (continued)

**(e)**Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued) Income taxes Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.

In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

Options and warrants

Options and warrants, including finders’ warrants, are initially recognized at fair value, based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). This pricing model requires management to make various assumptions and estimates which are susceptible to uncertainty, including the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

Expected credit losses on financial assets

Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.

**3.**Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those noted in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022, unless otherwise noted below.

**(a)**Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Amendments

The Company adopted the following amendments, effective July 1, 2022. The changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions. The Company early-adopted these amendments and had assessed that there was no material impact upon their adoption on its consolidated financial statements: Amendments to IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”) In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to update IAS 37. The amendments specify that in assessing whether a contract is onerous under IAS 37, the cost of fulfilling a contract includes both the incremental costs and an allocation of costs that relate directly to contract activities. The amendments also include examples of costs that do, and do not, relate directly to a contract.

**3.**Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

**(a)**Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Amendments (continued)

Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”)

In February 2021, the IASB issued Definition of Accounting Estimates, which amended IAS 8. The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The amendments to IAS 8 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company early-adopted these amendments as permitted. **4.**Sales Tax Receivable The Company’s sales tax receivable balance represents amounts due from government taxation authorities in respect of the Good and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (“GST/HST”). The Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts and therefore no ECL has been recorded against these receivables, which are due in less than one year.

**8.**Loan Payable

On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement for USD $692,970 (CAD $873,253) (the “Loan”). The Loan bears an interest rate of 4.7% and is payable in monthly instalments of USD $78,512. Interest related to the Loan totaled $16,226 and was included in interest on loan and debentures. On August 18, 2022, the Company paid off the remaining balance of USD $156,105 (CAD $201,157) on the Loan upon its maturity.

**9.**Convertible Debentures

In February 2021, the Company issued convertible debts (the “Debentures”) for a total of $865,263 (the “Subscribed Amount”). The Debentures were sold at a discount of approximately 5% for proceeds of $805,000, net of a $15,000 cash commission.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Subscribed Amount plus interest accrued, at a rate which should be the higher of (i) 12% per annum or (ii) Wall Street Prime Rate + 7%, is convertible, at the option of the Debenture holder, into common shares of the Company at a price that is the lesser of (i) $1.25 per share or (ii) a 20% discount to the price of a Liquidity Transaction (defined below).

**16.**Capital Management

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern such that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The management of the capital structure is based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties and to maintain the Company in good standing with the various regulatory authorities. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell assets to settle liabilities, issue debt instruments or return capital to its shareholders. The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

**17.**Financial Risks The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to financial instruments. Management, in conjunction with the Board, mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management process. There have not been any changes in the nature of these risks or the process of managing these risks from the previous reporting periods.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, other receivable (excluding sales tax receivable) and due from related party, which expose the Company to credit risk should the borrower default on maturity of the instruments. Cash is held with a reputable chartered bank in Canada, which is closely monitored by management. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash, other receivables and due from related party is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing and investing activities. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $13,074,019 (June 30, 2022 – $23,792,408) to settle current liabilities of $857,208 (June 30, 2022 – $1,780,877).

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had the following contractual obligations:

Less than 1 year 1 to 3 years 3 to 5 years Total
$ $ $ $
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 511,996 - - 511,996
Due to related parties 89,538 - - 89,538
Derivative liability 255,674 - - 255,674
Total 857,208 - - 857,208

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows for a rolling period of 12 months to identify financial requirements. Where insufficient liquidity may exist, the Company may pursue various debt and equity instruments for short or long-term financing of its operations.

Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet short-term business obligations, after taking into account cash flow requirements from operations and the Company’s cash position as at December 31, 2022.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


**17.**Financial Risks (continued)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s loans payable and convertible debentures have fixed interest rates. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to floating interest rates. Management believes that the interest rate risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is minimal. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company will be subject to foreign currency fluctuations in satisfying obligations related to its foreign activities. The Company has from, time to time, financial instruments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies, notably in USD. The Company’s primary exposure to foreign exchange risk is that transactions denominated in foreign currency may expose the Company to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Based on its current operations, management believes that the foreign exchange risk remains minimal.

Fair value

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, other receivables (excluding sales tax recoverable), due from related party, accounts payable, due to related parties, and derivative liability. The fair value of other receivables (excluding sales tax recoverable), due from related party, accounts payable and due to related parties are approximately equal to their carrying value due to their short-term nature. As at June 30, 2022, the fair values of the loan payable approximated their carrying amounts as they were measured taking into consideration comparable instruments with similar risks in determining the rates at which to discount their amount in applying their respective measurement models.

The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

·Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

·Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$ $ $ $
Cash 13,074,019 - - 13,074,019
Derivative liability - (255,674) - (255,674)

As at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value consisted of its cash, which is classified as Level 1, and its derivative liability, which have been classified as Level 2. There were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements since the last reporting period.

**18.**Grant Income

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company received a grant for $109,750 (2021 – $30,995) from the Manitoba Minerals Development Fund, for the purposes of supporting strategic projects that contribute to sustainable economic growth in the Province of Manitoba.

**19.**Contingencies

The Company’s E&E activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. As at December 31, 2022, the Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company expects to make future expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. **20.**Reclassification Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Net loss previously reported has not been affected by these reclassifications.

**21.**Subsequent Events

Snow Lake Resources Ltd.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2022

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) of Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Lithium Ltd. (“Snow Lake”, “we” or the “Company”) summarizes the significant factors affecting the Company’s operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2022. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (the “Q2 2033 Financials”), as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (the “2022 Financials”). Amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See also “Introductory Notes – Forward-Looking Information.”

The Q2 2023 Financials and the financial information contained in this MD&A are prepared pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. As permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for foreign private issuers, we do not reconcile our financial statements to United States generally accepted accounting principles.

This MD&A reports the Company’s activities through December 31, 2022, unless otherwise indicated. All figures are expressed in Canadian dollars (“C$” or “CAD”), unless otherwise noted. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company remained at the exploration stage, had not placed any of its mineral properties into production, and has not generated any revenues. It intends to proceed with the development of the Snow Lake Lithium™ property. The Company intends, in the longer term, to derive substantial revenues from becoming a strategic supplier of battery-grade lithium hydroxide to the growing electric vehicle and battery storage markets. The Company is not expected to start generating revenues until the fourth quarter of 2024, at the earliest. Our planned exploration and development of mineral resources, primarily lithium, will require significant investment prior to commercial introduction and may never be successfully developed or commercially successful.The Company’s central focus is on creating a staged and responsible approach to project development, which shortens the overall production timeline. Specifically, a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which considers the possibility of Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) will be commissioned. This process may involve selectively mining and / or ore sorting. Beginning the development process through DSO will fast track the development of our project as it removes many of the permitting and capital spending hurdles whilst generating cash flow for the Company. Corporate Developments

On September 22, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding MOU with LG Energy Solution (“LGES”). The non-binding MOU with LGES represents a next step towards building the domestic supply chain for the North American electric vehicle (EV) market. LGES, a split-off from LG Chem, is a leading global manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries for EVs, mobility, IT, and energy storage systems. With 30 years of experience in revolutionary battery technology and extensive research and development, LGES is the top battery-related patent holder in the world with over 24,000 patents. Its robust global network, which spans North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, includes battery manufacturing facilities established through joint ventures with major automakers such as General Motors, Stellantis N.V. and Hyundai Motor Group. Together with LGES, the Company will collaborate to explore the opportunity to create one of Canada’s first lithium hydroxide processing plants in CentrePort, Manitoba. Under the terms of the MOU, Snow Lake will supply LGES with lithium over a 10-year period once production starts in 2025. The MOU and contemplated partnership will be subject to a number of conditions, including the completion of due diligence from both parties. A scoping study, in partnership with Primero, is already underway to identify the technologies, innovations and skills required to deliver a world-class lithium hydroxide plant within the Province of Manitoba.

On January 6, 2023, the Company announced that it has acquired additional land claims in the historic mining district of Snow Lake, Manitoba. The Company staked a total of nine claims covering an area of 1,728 hectares near Dion Creek, Lost Frog Lake, and the Grass River East. These claims are located in areas known for their pegmatite occurrences as mapped by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. With the acquisition of additional land

Mr. Shapiro was also appointed as Interim COO, as the Board appointed a special committee to retain an advisor to search for a permanent CEO.

On January 29, 2023, the Company announced that it was moving forward on a PEA which will focus on outlining a pathway to accelerating revenues from the Company’s flagship projects; the Thomson Brothers and Grass River Lithium Projects. The PEA will consider the feasibility of a DSO operation, which will enable the company to fund a significant portion of future development out of cash flow. The PEA is expected to be released to the market in Q2 of 2023.

Additionally, the company announced its intentions to release an updated Resource Estimate for the Thomson Brothers Project, a Maiden Resource Estimate for the Grass River Project, as well as the results from a metallurgical study from the Grass River Project in Q2 of 2023.

Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss (5,936,851) (2,412,658)

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of C$5,936,851 (2021 – C$2,412,658). As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of C$16,297,772 (June 30, 2022 – C$10,545,535) and a working capital of C$13,828,564. While the Company was able to raise funds from an initial public offering (the “IPO) in the prior year, there is no certainty that additional financing at terms that are acceptable to the Company will be available, and an inability to obtain financing would have a direct impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred total operating expenses of C$7,162,146, as compared to total operating expenses of C$2,925,819 in the comparative period. The substantial increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increases in directors’ and officers’ consulting fees and professional fees, of which key components of Snow Lake’s results of operations during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are discussed as follows:

·Directors’ and officers’ consulting fees totalled C$3,191,023 (2021 – C$238,102), for an increase of  C$2,952,921. The substantial increase is primarily due to certain addendum payments made to the former executives during the period. On November 1, 2022, the Company purported to amend the consulting agreements with the entities controlled by the former CEO and COO, with an addendum which amended the termination clause of their respective agreements. As a result of the addendum, the Company recorded fees of C$1,672,988 (USD $1,224,040) and C$881,842 (USD $648,020), respectively, of which the payout was made to the respective entities controlled by the former CEO and COO. Otherwise, compensation for the management team and the Board had increased due to new appointments of officers and directors upon completion of the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Composite, reflecting the increased scope of activities on various areas such as exploration and drilling, administration and financial reporting.

·Professional fees totalled C$1,943,774 (2021 – C$393,811), for an increase of C$1,549,963. Part of the increase is due to expenses incurred in relation to the Company’s status as a public company as it had to rely on the services of outside consultants in areas such as legal counsel, accountants and auditors, which remain critical to the Company’s operations post-listing. On the other hand, the Company also incurred substantial expenses in relation to the proxy requisition among certain shareholders and the old management, which culminated with the restructure which took place upon completion of the Meeting.

·Non-cash stock-based compensation total $848,520 (2021 – C$1,713,160), for a decrease of C$864,640. The Company had previously granted restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options to certain officers and directors, where a substantial portion of expenses related to the vesting of these securities was recorded in the comparable period. The value of stock-based compensation is dependent on the valuation of the grant date fair value of these securities, which is subject to various estimates, based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make various assumptions and estimates which are susceptible to uncertainty, including the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

·Insurance expense from directors’ and officers’ (“D&O”) insurance coverage totalled C$567,825 (2021 – C$98,299), for an increase of C$469,526. Upon listing, the Company was required to obtain D&O insurance for its officers and directors. The higher insurance expense amount is also a reflection of the coverage used up for the current period in question, versus coverage which would have only begun in November 2021 in the comparable period.

·General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses totalled C$270,004 (2021 – C$32,119), for an increase of C$237,885. The increase in G&A expenses is directly correlated to the increased scope of activities since the Company had obtained a public listing, and due to the continued expansion from its drilling program.

·Consulting fees totalled C$178,643 (2021 – C$82,771), for an increase of $95,872. Consulting fees comprised of third-party work primarily for marketing, investor relations and information technology. These fees are primarily related to promotional activities related to costs associated with the Company building its marketing strategy.

·Travel expenses totalled C$104,803 (2021 – C$18,281), for an increase of $86,522. During the 2022 calendar year, management had resumed travelling for business purposes as COVID restrictions began lifting, whereas in the comparable period, relatively fewer travel expenses were recorded due to on-going lockdown and travel restrictions at the time.

·Transfer agent and regulatory fees totalled C$38,465 (2021 – C$139,491), for a decrease of C$101,026, Similar to D&O insurance, it was essential for the Company to appoint a transfer agent upon listing to assist in recording changes of ownership and maintaining security holder records. Regulatory fees comprised of filing in conjunction of the listing and ensuing filing requirements, are also included in transfer agent and regulatory fees. As there were little financing activities undertaken during the current period, a relative decrease in such expenses was incurred.

·Interest on loan and debentures totalled C$155,091 in the comparable period, relating to the borrowing cost of certain loans and debentures received in 2021.

·The Company also recorded other income of C$1,225,295 (2021 – C$513,161), comprised primarily of a foreign exchange translation gain of C$1,084,222 (2021 – C$18,198) recorded due to the translation of certain balances into the functional and presentation currency of the Company, and grant income of C$109,745 (2021 – $30,995) received from the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of C$432,645, to C$31,323 (2021 – C$463,968).

·As a result of the above items, net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was C$5,936,851 (loss of C$0.33 per basic and diluted share), as compared to a net loss of C$2,412,658 (loss of C$0.17 per basic and diluted share) for the comparable period.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in the Company’s operating activities was C$5,959,215 (2021 – net cash used of C$2,230,581). The substantial increase in operating spending for the current period is a direct reflection of the increased scope of activities as the Company evolved as a public company and continued with its drilling program in Manitoba, and it also included the purported addendum payments of C$1,672,988 (USD $1,224,040) and C$881,842 (USD $648,020), which had been made to the respective entities controlled by the former CEO and COO as noted in the “Results of Operations” section. With a healthy cash position on hand, the Company made several advances to secure the services of certain vendors for the next 12 months, in order to assist its growth strategy.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not participate in much financing activities other than having repaid a loan for $201,532. In the comparable period, net cash provided by financing activities was C$33,015,215. In November 2021, the Company closed the IPO for gross proceeds raised of almost $35 million, with issuance cost of C$2,995,448 paid on closing. The Company also received a loan of C$782,423 to finance its D&O insurance, of which had been repaid to date, as well as total proceeds of C$239,720 on exercises of warrants.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company also incurred investing cash outflows of C$4,589,220 (2021 – C$324,142) through payments made for the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets on the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project. The substantial increase in the use of cash for investing activities is directly tied to the increased exploration activities as drilling programs commenced in Snow Lake, Manitoba.


As Snow Lake had yet to generate any revenues to date, the Company currently has no regular cash flows from operations, and the level of operations is principally a function of availability of capital resources. The primary source of funding has historically been through private placement financings of equity securities and convertible debentures. While it was able to raise almost $35 million through its IPO in November 2021, the Company will likely have to continue to rely on equity or debt financings in order to maintain its working capital and expenditures requirements. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully complete such financings, as market conditions and business performance may dictate availability and interest.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had current assets of C$14,685,772 (June 30, 2021 – C$25,029,009), including cash of C$13,074,019 (June 30, 2022 – C$23,792,408) to settle current liabilities of C$857,208 (June 30, 2022 – C$1,780,877), for a working capital of C$13,828,564 (June 30, 2022 – working capital C$23,248,132).

Management is actively monitoring cash forecasts and managing performance against its forecasts. In the past year, the Company had substantially built up financial position through the raising of funds from the IPO and by conversion certain outstanding debentures. Nevertheless, management will remain cautious in its capital management approach, and continue to look for new sources of financing in the next 12 months, to fund its working capital to advance the Company’s operations. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc. The Company has no significant research and development plans at present, other than certain work through a collaboration with the University of Manitoba to strengthen the understanding of the lithium deposits in Snow Lake, Manitoba, which are recorded as research expenses in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.


Trend Information Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demand, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues and income from operations, profitability, liquidity, capital resources, or would cause reported financial information not to be indicative of future operation results or financial condition. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:

Going concern

At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources, and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows and the Company’s cash position at period-end.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2022

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.

Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets

Management has determined that exploration and evaluation assets and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.

Provisions

Provisions recognized in the consolidated financial statements involve judgments on the occurrence of future events, which could result in a material outlay for the Company. In determining whether an outlay will be material, the Company considers the expected future cash flows based on facts, historical experience and probabilities associated with such future events. Uncertainties exist with respect to estimates made by management and as a result, the actual expenditure may differ from amounts currently reported.

Income taxes

Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.

In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

Options and warrants

Options and warrants, including finders’ warrants, are initially recognized at fair value, based on the application of Black-Scholes. This pricing model requires management to make various assumptions and estimates which are susceptible to uncertainty, including the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

Expected credit losses on financial assets

Determining an allowance for expected credit losses for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.
