1. We note that you have disclosures beginning on pages 5, 45 and 58 regarding certain lithium projects associated with your 32.5% interest in Snow Lake Resources Ltd., including a description of the investee as a “lithium exploration stage company” that will be “fast-tracking” the development of its lithium mine.
   
  However, that entity filed a Form 6-K on July 5, 2024 to report that its primary focus  over the next year will be to advance the exploration of its two uranium projects, while  taking “a slower, more careful approach” to exploring its two lithium projects.
   
  Please update your disclosures as necessary to reflect the current exploration efforts and  plans of the investee.
   
  Response: In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has included disclosures in the Amendment to reflect the current exploration efforts and plans of Snow Lake Resources Ltd.
