All Foremost Shareholders at the December 20, 2024 AGSM Will Be Eligible Pursuant to the
Plan of Arrangement to Receive 2 Rio Grande Shares for Every 1 Foremost Share

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) ("Foremost" or the "Company"), an emerging North American uranium and lithium exploration company, today announces that, further to its news release issued the morning of November 18, 2024, the Company wishes to clarify the terms surrounding the engagement of Red Cloud Financial Services Inc. ("Red Cloud"). Red Cloud's services commenced on November 14, 2024, not October 14, 2024, as stated in the prior news release. All other stated terms are correct.

Furthermore, the Company wishes to remind all Foremost shareholders ("Shareholders") about the upcoming spin-out of the Winston Gold and Silver Properties (the "Properties or Project") from Foremost to Rio Grande Ltd. Pursuant to the statutory plan of arrangement under British Columbia's Business Corporations Act ("the Arrangement"), each Shareholder will exchange each outstanding common share of Foremost for one (1) new common share of Foremost and two (2) Rio Grande Shares (the "Rio Grande Shares").

It is important to note that all Shareholders will participate in the share exchange on the effective date of the completion of the Arrangement but only Shareholders of record as of October 24, 2024, will be eligible to vote at the AGSM. The Company anticipates completing the Arrangement, in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, in January 2025, subject to, among other things, receipt of all required shareholders, court and CSE approvals.

Jason Barnard, President and CEO of Foremost, states: "With all Foremost shareholders on the effective listing date of Rio Grande receiving 2 Rio shares, we are confident that the spin-out of Rio Grande into a standalone entity will create significant value. This move will ensure that these properties receive the necessary attention and development focus they deserve, especially during a robust bull market for precious metals. We are excited to finalize this transaction and begin exploration activities."

Foremost believes that this opportunity presents an exciting prospect for all Shareholders and encourages all to carefully consider this opportunity, and to cast a vote in favour of the Arrangement at the upcoming AGSM.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has filed an updated Technical Report (the "Report") for the Properties located northwest of the town of Truth or Consequences in New Mexico, USA. The updated Report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Winston Gold-Silver Project: Sierra County, New Mexico, USA," with an effective date of November 4, 2024, was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101: Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The purpose of the Report is to provide an update on the Project and present new technical and scientific findings related to exploration activities.
