Foremost Lithium Announces Immediate Approval to Be Upgraded to the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States and CEO Roadshow to Engage with German and Swiss Institutional Investors

Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (CSE: FAT) (OTCQB: FRRSF) (FSE: F0R0) (WKN: A3DCC8) ("FAT" or the "Company") (www.foremostlithium.com), is pleased to announce it has been successfully up-listed from the OTC Pink Sheets to the OTCQB Venture Market (the "OTCQB"). Foremost Lithium's symbol will remain unchanged on the OTCQB and will continue to trade under the symbol "FRRSF". The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "FAT" and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "F0R0", and WKN: "A3DCC8".

The OTCQB Venture Market, is recognized by the US Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market providing public information for analysis and value of securities designed for developing and entrepreneurial companies in the U.S. and abroad. Companies must be current in their financial reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process, including meeting a minimum bid price and other financial conditions. With more compliance and quality standards, the OTCQB provides investors improved transparency to make informed investment decisions.

Scott Taylor, President and CEO of Foremost is travelling throughout Germany and Switzerland starting February 17th until February 28th to engage with strategic European institutional investors focused on hard rock lithium mining and strategic battery metals.

Scott Taylor, President and CEO of Foremost Lithium states: "One of the new management team's first corporate priorities was to clean Foremost up from the OTC Pink to the OTCQB Venture Market. This process was successfully accomplished in 58 days since taking over as President and CEO of Foremost. Trading on the OTCQB improves our Company's reputation, provides credible market transparency, and opens a new and extensive class of long-term institutional and retail US investors. We shall now continue to mature the Company and pursue a subsequent upgrade to the OTCQX Best Market. OTCQX Best Market Companies meet higher financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, demonstrate compliance with U.S. securities laws, have a professional third-party sponsor introduction, and are one tier below a NASDAQ listing.

Scott Taylor continues: "The Swiss and German roadshow is essential to connect Foremost to the European institutional investment community which is highly focused on long term strategic investments in hard rock lithium in secure jurisdictions like the Snow Lake District of Manitoba, Canada. These two actions will improve shareholder value by systematically increasing the shareholder base to be primarily composed of long term, strategically focused investors."

SQM REPORTS EARNINGS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024

Highlights

SANTIAGO, Chile , Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) reported today net loss ( 1 ) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , of (US$655.9) million or (US$2.30) per share, compared to US$1,330.1 million or US$4.66 per share reported for the same period last year.

(PRNewsfoto/Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile, S.A. (SQM))

Gross profit reached US$752.5 million (31.6% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , lower than US$1,920.7 million (44.5% of revenues) recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023 . Revenues totaled US$2,378.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , representing a decrease of 44.9% compared to US$4,315.6 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2023 .

The Company also announced net income for the second quarter of 2024 of US$213.6 million or US$0.75 per share, a decrease of 63.2% compared to US$580.2 million or US$2.03 per share for the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 reached US$383.9 million , 55.1% lower than the US$855.1 million reported for the second quarter of 2023. Revenues totaled US$1,293.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 37.0% compared to US$2,051.7 million for the second quarter of 2023.

SQM's Chief Executive Officer, Ricardo Ramos , stated, "We are very pleased to highlight that during the second quarter, we entered into a partnership agreement with Codelco to extend our operations in the Salar de Atacama until 2060. Together with Codelco, we are working to fulfill the remaining conditions for the partnership to take effect in 2025. The most pivotal of these is the consultation process with the communities surrounding the Salar de Atacama. We are committed to reaching a mutually beneficial agreement with the Atacameño communities founded upon the most rigorous standards, transparency and promotion of the human rights of these communities."

He continued by saying, "In the second quarter, we continued to see positive sales volumes growth in the lithium, iodine and fertilizer businesses. While sales volumes in the lithium and iodine businesses again reached record levels, increasing by more than 20% and 11%, respectively, compared to the same period last year, sales volumes in the fertilizer business confirmed the strong demand recovery trends anticipated since the beginning of the year, increasing by more than 20% compared to the same period last year."

Mr. Ramos further stated, "The strong sales volumes growth in the lithium business in the second quarter was offset by significantly lower average realized lithium prices, as a result of lower market prices when compared to the same period last year. We see this pricing trend continuing in the second half of this year, with current lithium price indices in China nearly 20% lower than the average lithium price indices in the second quarter of 2024. This trend could have a negative impact on our realized prices, which reflect the prevailing market price trends, in the second half of the year. Given current price levels, we anticipate that some lithium producers may reduce their output, as many projects, especially greenfield, are not economically viable at these prices. In our situation, while we continue to advance our previously announced expansions, we are currently reevaluating specific markets and initiatives that may be less attractive in the near term under these conditions."

Mr. Ramos closed by saying, "In light of our confidence in the long-term growth of the lithium industry, we launched SQM International Lithium to focus on developing SQM's lithium business outside of Chile . Leveraging our expertise in exploration, project development, M&A and innovation, SQM International Lithium's objective is to expand the portfolio of lithium assets we have with various partners outside of Chile , allowing us to increase SQM's production volumes by at least 100,000 metric tons of LCE per year by the end of this decade."
