温尼伯，曼尼托巴省 --（Newsfile Corp. -2026 年 1 月 15 日）- Snow Lake Resources Ltd.，以 Snow Lake Energy（納斯達克：LITM）為名（&#34; Snow Lake&#34;），一家核燃料循環公司，宣佈已與 Canadian Uranium Corp.（&#34; Canadian Uranium&#34;）達成協議，延長關於 Mound Lake Gallium Project（&#34; Mound Lake&#34;）的現有選項協議（&#34; 協議&#34;），該項目位於加拿大安大略省雷灣以北。
該協議時機恰當，恰逢美國政府於 2026 年 1 月 14 日星期三發佈的公告&#34; 調整進口加工關鍵礦物及其衍生產品進入美國&#34;（&#34; 公告&#34;），其重點是確保美國擁有足夠的國內關鍵礦物的開採和加工，以減少對外國的進口依賴。
亮點
<ul>
<li>該協議提供了對基礎選項協議的一年延期</li>
<li>Mound Lake 地區在鋰、銫和鉭（LCT）礦牀方面具有很高的前景，包括多種稀土和鎵</li>
<li>對 Mound Lake 的歷史工作確認了在 2023 年 Canadian Uranium 的現場項目中獲得的一系列抓取樣本中，鎵的含量範圍為 50 至 110 ppm</li>
<li>美國 100% 依賴進口其鎵需求，因為鎵是許多軍事和國防應用的重要組成部分。</li>
</ul>
Snow Lake 首席執行官發言
&#34;由於我們的主要關注點仍然是核燃料循環業務的發展，我們繼續追求在北美基於關鍵礦物項目中機會性地獲取權益的持續戰略，這些項目有潛力幫助建立北美國內關鍵礦物供應鏈，&#34;Snow Lake 首席執行官 Frank Wheatley 表示。&#34;Mound Lake 非常符合這一戰略，成本適中，因為對 Mound Lake 的歷史工作已經證明了鎵的潛力，以及多種其他稀土元素和 LCT 礦牀。
&#34;隨着美國政府繼續推進其政策，以確保足夠的國內關鍵礦物的開採和加工，以確保美國國家安全，包括鎵，我們認為 Mound Lake 的潛力值得探索，作為滿足美國需求的可能解決方案，&#34;Wheatley 先生繼續説道。
鎵作為關鍵礦物
鎵被美國、加拿大、澳大利亞和歐盟列為關鍵礦物，因為中國控制着全球鎵供應的約 98%。美國 100% 依賴進口其鎵需求。鎵通常作為鋁和鋅等其他關鍵礦物冶煉的副產品生產，其重要性在於其在半導體、集成電路、高性能雷達、智能手機、電動車、筆記本電腦以及多種軍事應用中的使用。
美國政府公告
美國政府於 2025 年 1 月 14 日發佈了該公告，以回應對加工關鍵礦物進口對美國國家安全影響的第 232 條調查。調查的結論是，進口加工關鍵礦物確實對美國國家安全構成風險，該公告旨在概述美國政府將採取的應對這些風險的步驟。
公告特別提到鎵對支撐美國軍事和國防機構的衞星系統至關重要。減少這些風險的步驟包括就關鍵礦物的進口、價格底線和其他適當的貿易限制措施進行談判。
Mound Lake 鎵項目
Mound Lake 是一個早期階段的勘探項目，由 243 個單一單元的無專利礦權組成，覆蓋超過 4800 公頃，位於安大略省雷灣礦區。對 Mound Lake 北部的歷史勘探工作，靠近 Mound Lake Pluton 與變質沉積岩的接觸，已證明鎵含量持續較高，同時其他關鍵金屬的含量也較高，包括鈹、鋰和銣。
在 2023 年 Canadian Uranium 的現場項目中收集的 12 個基岩抓取樣本中，鎵的含量超過 50 ppm，最高結果為 110.5 ppm。相比之下，肥沃花崗岩和偉晶岩中的鎵含量通常峯值約為 90 ppm，而地殼中的平均鎵含量約為 19 ppm。來自 Mound Lake 的抓取樣本中超過 70% 的鎵含量高於平均地殼值。
未來的勘探將優先考慮 Mound Lake 的北部地區，可能包括進一步的詳細分析和製圖，以識別後續調查和可能鑽探的潛在目標。
Mound Lake 擴展協議
該協議將基礎選項協議的條款和條件延長一年。此擴展為 Snow Lake 提供了靈活性，以便在 Snow Lake 的 2026 年勘探和開發項目中規劃對 Mound Lake 的額外勘探工作，涉及其在北美的關鍵礦物項目組合。基礎選項協議規定，Snow Lake 可以通過在兩年內進行勘探支出和現金支付的組合，獲得 Mound Lake 的最高 80% 權益。

</div>Snow Lake CEO Remarks
<div class="lb-trans">Snow Lake 首席執行官發言
</div>&#34;As our primary focus remains the development of our nuclear fuel cycle business, we continue to pursue our ongoing strategy of opportunistically acquiring interests in North American based critical minerals projects that hold the potential to assist in building domestic North American critical minerals supply chains,&#34; said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake. &#34;Mound Lake fits nicely into that strategy, at modest cost, as historical work on Mound Lake has demonstrated the potential for gallium, as well as a variety of other rare earth elements and LCT deposits.

</div>Gallium as a Critical Mineral
<div class="lb-trans">鎵作為關鍵礦物
</div>Gallium is classified as a critical mineral by the U.S., Canada, Australia and the European Union, considering China controls approximately 98% of global gallium supply.1 The U.S. imports 100% of its gallium requirements. Gallium is typically produced as a by-product from smelting other critical minerals, such as aluminum and zinc, and its importance is due to its use in semiconductors, integrated circuits, high-performance radar, smartphones, electric vehicles, laptops, together with a variety of military applications.

<div class="lb-trans">美國政府公告
</div>The U.S. Administration issued the Proclamation on January 14, 2025 in response to the Section 232 investigation into the effect of imports of processed critical minerals on U.S. national security. The conclusion of the investigation was that imports of processed critical minerals did pose a U.S. national security risk and the Proclamation is intended to outline steps the U.S. Government will take to address those risks.

</div>Mound Lake Gallium Project
<div class="lb-trans">Mound Lake 鎵項目
</div>Mound Lake is an early-stage exploration project consisting of 243 single-cell unpatented mineral claims covering over 4,800 hectares in the Thunder Bay mining district of Ontario. Historic exploration work on the northern part of Mound Lake, near the contact between the Mound Lake Pluton and metasedimentary country rocks, has demonstrated consistent, elevated gallium values, together with elevated levels of other critical metals, including beryllium, lithium, and rubidium.
<div class="lb-trans">Mound Lake 是一個早期階段的勘探項目，由 243 個單一單元的無專利礦權組成，覆蓋超過 4800 公頃，位於安大略省雷灣礦區。對 Mound Lake 北部的歷史勘探工作，靠近 Mound Lake Pluton 與變質沉積岩的接觸，已證明鎵含量持續較高，同時其他關鍵金屬的含量也較高，包括鈹、鋰和銣。
</div>A total of 12 bedrock grab-samples collected during Canadian Uranium's 2023 field program returned gallium values exceeding 50 ppm, with the highest result measuring 110.5 ppm. By way of comparison, gallium values in fertile granites and pegmatites typically peak at ~90 ppm, while average gallium values in the earth's crust are ~19 ppm. Over 70% of the grab samples from Mound Lake returned gallium values above average crustal values.
