Far Resources Mobilizes Field Crew to Initiate Systematic Assessment of Newly Documented Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite Dykes, Zoro Lithium Property
Vancouver - Far Resources Ltd. (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (www.farresources.com) (“Far Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it is initiating a helicopter-supported systematic assessment of additional spodumene-bearing dykes (the “Dykes”) recently documented on the Zoro Lithium property (cf. July 3, 2017 news release). Between June 18 and 20 of this year the area of spodumene-bearing dykes 5 and 7 were visited by Far Resource’s technical and management team resulting in the discovery of previously unreported pegmatite dykes. These new spodumene-bearing dykes occur between and adjacent to historic dykes 5 and 7 where the Company has reported high-grade lithium mineralization from multiple assay samples. These new zones of spodumene-bearing pegmatite were exposed in pits and trenches as well in outcrop but were unreported in the Manitoba government assessment files.
The field crew will mobilize July 10 and operate from a bush camp located adjacent to the Dykes and will operate with initial helicopter support. The program will include the acquisition of UTM coordinates of individual pits, trenches and pegmatite-bearing outcrop as well as the collection of representative outcrop chip samples from each of the Dykes. Samples will be analyzed by Activation Laboratories, an ISO-certified laboratory, with results reported in subsequent news releases. Geologic information gathered from the area of these new Dykes will be used to supplement historic data from the Manitoba Government assessment files with the aim of building a 3-dimensional model for the Dykes thereby providing guidance for a planned drill program.
Orix Geoscience has finalized a 3D model of dyke#1 based on historic data and two recent drill programs on the property. Subsequent to review of the model additional drilling on dyke#1 is planned.
Far Resources President and CEO Keith Anderson states: “We are anxious to get started on the assessment of new spodumene-bearing dykes on our optioned ground. The area will be systematically explored and documented as we build the database for this portion of the property. Historic and new data will be synthesized with the construction of a 3-dimensional model for the purpose of future planned drill testing of these Dykes. We also await lithogeochemical assay results and mineral analyses from drill core samples collected during our last trip to the property. Data will be reviewed with guidance from Western University’s Dr. Bob Linnen, and Dr. Tania Martins of the Manitoba Geological Survey, with the aim of developing exploration techniques applicable to the remainder of the property.”
