VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost Lithium”, “Foremost” or the “Company”), a North American hard-rock lithium exploration company, today announced the approval to list its shares on Upstream, a revolutionary securities trading app designed to eliminate barriers for international investment into North America while not competing with other exchanges domestically, such as Nasdaq and the Canadian Securities Exchange (“the CSE”). Trading begins on Upstream July 31, 2024, at 10:00 am ET under the ticker symbol FMST.

Upstream was designed to provide companies like Foremost the channel to access an international, digital-first investor base that trade using USDC digital currency along with credit, debit, PayPal, and USD which could unlock liquidity and enhance price discovery. The uplisting is expected to enhance Foremost’s global investment exposure and potential investment opportunities. Foremost’s current shareholders and its listings on Nasdaq and CSE will not be affected by the listing to Upstream.

“We believe securing this listing on Upstream will help unlock additional liquidity and expand our global shareholder base by reaching untapped international markets,” said Jason Barnard, President & CEO of Foremost Lithium. “As we continue on the path towards future value creation for our stakeholders, it is increasingly important that we can share our developments both domestically and internationally. We look forward to working with the team at Upstream for our listing on July 31.”

Existing non-U.S. and Canadian shareholders and investors outside North American markets may prepare for the listing by downloading Upstream from their preferred app store at https://upstream.exchange/, creating an account by tapping sign up, and completing a simple KYC identity verification. Note, U.S. or Canadian persons may not deposit, buy, or sell securities on Upstream.
