Far Resources Completes Drill Program and Intersects up to 40.5 metres of Spodumene Pegmatite in Dyke 1, Zoro Lithium Property, Manitoba
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Far Resources Ltd. (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“Far Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has finalized its recently announced drill program (see news release dated September 21, 2017) focused on Dyke 1 within its Zoro Lithium Property in the Snow Lake area, Manitoba.
An aggregate length of 710 metres of NQ core was drilled to assess areas of Dyke 1 where no modern drilling had been previously undertaken. Light green spodumene typical of this mineral in Dyke 1 was intersected in drill intercepts of 40.5 m, 39.8 m, 23 m, 19.8 m and 7.5 m. A total of 207 spodumene-bearing core samples have been sawn from the core and prepared for shipping for lithium and related element assays to ISO-certified Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario (“Actlab”). The general characteristics of the individual drill holes is given in Table 1. Assay results will be reported when complete.
Table 1
| Drill Hole ID | Azimuth | Dip | EOH | Pegmatite Intersection | Samples Taken |
| FAR17-015 | 250° | -60° | 95.0 | 40.50-53.82m, 57.76-64.00m, 65.00-67.17m and 68.00-86.81m | 64 |
| FAR17-016 | 65° | -45 | 130.0 | 86.37-87.03m and 95.8-118.18m | 32 |
| FAR17-017 | 80° | -65 | 75.0 | 52.4-58.68m and 69-70.32m | 26 |
| FAR17-018 | 74.0 | -63 | 95.0 | 54.05-93.86m | 43 |
| FAR17-019 | 69° | -60° | 265.0 | 206.83-226.6m | 42 |

The company has received a preliminary analytical report of assay results from 60 rock samples collected during field operations at Dykes 2, 3 and 4. Upon receipt of Actlab’s final analytical report the results will be released in a news release.
SGS Mineral Services (Vancouver, B.C.) has notified the Company that 410 soil samples collected during a recent field program on the Zoro property have been received and are currently being analyzed using Mobile Metal Ions Technology. These samples were collected from overburden-covered areas north and south along trend of all known dykes on the property. These areas are interpreted to be highly prospective for additional spodumene-bearing pegmatite. Subsequent to receipt of the final SGS report and interpretation, results will be released in a news release.
Keith Anderson, Far Resources’ President and CEO notes, “The intersection of significant widths of spodumene in the Dyke 1 pegmatite underscores the persistent nature of lithium mineralization in all segments of this pegmatite dyke. A more complete understanding of the distribution of lithium mineralization in Dyke 1 will be possible upon receipt of assay results from this phase of drilling and the re-calibration of our 3-dimensional model. The assessment of Dykes 2, 3 and 4 based on the ongoing integration of historic drill data with recent field mapping and assay results will give us the opportunity to model these dykes in 3-dimensions thereby providing well constrained drill targets. We are eagerly pushing forward with our exploration program; the more quality, purposeful geoscientific data that we gather, the more momentum we gain. We have a plan and we have the funds so we are striving to move Zoro ahead every single day.”
