6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)

After the Company acquires the Second Stage Interest, the Company will be obligated to make the following payments to the Vendor, in the form of our common shares, upon the achievement of the following milestones:

ii)Milestone Payment No. 2: In the event an SK-1300 compliant technical report determines there is a uranium mineral resource on the Engo Valley Uranium Project of a minimum of 25 million pounds with a minimum average grade of 250 ppm U3O8, the Company will issue an aggregate of 1,030,927 common shares. 

Black Lake Uranium Project

On May 8, 2024, Snow Lake entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Global Uranium Acquisition Corp (Pty) Ltd ("Global Uranium"), a private Australian company, which in turn, has entered into a mineral property option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Doctors Investment Group Ltd. ("Doctors"), a private British Columbia company, pursuant to which Global can earn a 100% interest in the Black Lake Uranium Project.

Snow Lake agreed to acquire Global Uranium in consideration of:

·payment of $50,000 in cash (paid); 

·issuance of 1,000,000 common shares upon execution of the share purchase agreement (issued); and

The acquisition was completed on June 21, 2024, and was accounted for as an asset acquisition as Global Uranium does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3. As Global Uranium had net assets of $nil on the date of acquisition, the full value of the consideration given up by the Company has been allocated to exploration and evaluation assets.
