Far Resources Receives High Grade Assays of 1.42% to 2.71% Li2O and Mobilizes Prospecting Team to Zoro Lithium Property
Vancouver - Far Resources Ltd (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“Far Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that assay results for 60 rock samples collected from trenches and pits in Dykes 2, 3 and 4 on the Zoro Lithium Property have been received from Activation Laboratories (Ancaster, Ontario). Two prospecting teams have been mobilized to the property. The Company is also preparing to deliver two presentations at the Manitoba Mining and Minerals Convention in Winnipeg, November 15 and 16.
High Grade Assays
Company prospectors collected 60 representative rock chip samples from historic trenches and pits in Dykes 2, 3 and 4 at the Company’s Zoro Lithium Property. These samples were subsequently analyzed for multiple elements including lithium and related metals using Activation Laboratories “UT-7” analytical package.
Results document high grade lithium from Dykes 2 and 4 attaining maximum values of 1.42% Li2O and 2.71% Li2O, respectively. These results increase the number of known high grade lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes on the Zoro property thereby providing targets for planned upcoming diamond drilling.
Manitoba Mining and Minerals Convention
The Company will be attending the Manitoba Mining and Minerals Convention November 14 and 15 in Winnipeg. Two presentations based on the Zoro Lithium Property will be given at the convention. The first will be a description of the geological setting and exploration of the Zoro lithium-bearing pegmatites by Orix Geoscience Principal Geologist Shastri Ramnath. The second will be delivered by Dr. Robert Linnen of the University of Western Ontario and will describe the results of research into geochemical and mineralogical haloes adjacent to the Zoro Dyke 1 pegmatite and their application to exploration on the property.
Prospecting Teams
Two prospecting teams have been dispatched to the Zoro Lithium Property at Snow Lake to commence exploration of newly optioned ground (see news release dated September 27, 2017). The teams will utilize LIDAR imagery to guide their examination and sampling of outcrop in this new area.
Keith Anderson, Far Resources President and CEO stated, “The number of significant lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes on the Zoro property continues to grow as our geoscientific data becomes available. Two prospecting teams are now on our newly acquired ground at Zoro to explore for new lithium-bearing pegmatite. We also anxiously await assay results from our recently completed drill program on Dyke 1. The geological setting and exploration of our Zoro property and results from research into new exploration guidelines for the property will be presented at the upcoming Manitoba Mining Convention where we will also have a booth. We are looking forward to showcasing our Zoro Lithium property at the convention.”
