Snow Lake stock fell 41% in the after-hours trading session on Wednesday.
The offering is subject to market conditions, said the company.

Canada-based Snow Lake’s portfolio includes two uranium and two hard rock lithium projects.
Its Black Lake Uranium Project is in exploration stage and is located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan; its Engo Valley Uranium Project is also an exploration stage project located in the Skeleton Coast of Namibia.
Its Shatford Lake Project is an exploration stage project located adjacent to the Tanco mine, and the Snow Lake Lithium Project is an exploration stage project located in the Snow Lake region of Northern Manitoba.
The company’s current focus is advancing the exploration of its two uranium projects to supply the raw materials needed for the clean energy transition and emissions free power.
It warned its exploration activities on its two lithium projects “will remain limited until such time as the lithium market recovers” from its current depressed levels.
