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 the start of a new phase of diamond core drilling at its Zoro Lithium Property, located near Snow Lake in mining-friendly Manitoba. The Company has received a drill and work permit from the Office of Manitoba Sustainable Development and has mobilized a drill to the Zoro Lithium Property where drilling activity is imminent. The start of drilling is planned for Friday, January 19, 2018.
Drill Program
The Manitoba Government’s office of Sustainable Development has issued a permit to the Company for the drilling of 2000 metres of core. Selection and cutting of drill pad and helicopter landing sites has already begun. The drill program will assess the extension of high-grade spodumene below the 150 m level of Dyke 1 where historic drilling intersected the widest intercepts of spodumene in this dyke. Drilling will also begin to assess high-grade spodumene Dykes 2 through 7 (see news releases dated October 26 and September 7, 2017). Only a few scattered and shallow drill holes were attempted in the mid-1950s in the areas of these dykes. Recent surface exploration by the Company’s prospectors at Dykes 2 and 4 returned rock chip assays with a range of 1.42% Li2O and 2.71% Li2O, respectively. Assays from Dyke 5 range from 1.46% to 6.35% Li2O and 1.35% to 2.91% Li2O for Dyke 7.
Drill core samples will be shipped to Activation Laboratories, an ISO-Certified laboratory for lithium assays and a multi-element suite of elements. The results of these analyses will be released upon receipt of the final lab reports.
The drill and crew are currently being mobilized to the site with helicopter assistance provided by Gogal Air Services. The drill contract has been awarded to Westcore Drilling Ltd. The Company has entered into a letter agreement for the drilling and associated support services in the amount of $350,000 payable in cash and Common shares. The Company has agreed to issue up to 234,000 Common Shares in the equity of the Company at a deemed price of $0.95 per share upon completion of the services with the remainder to be paid in cash.
Keith Anderson, Far Resources’ President and CEO noted, “The start of our helicopter-assisted drilling at Zoro marks the beginning of our ongoing program to assess the deeper portions of Dyke 1 and high-grade Dykes 2 through 7. Historic deep drilling returned the widest intercepts of spodumene in Dyke 1 which we will attempt to confirm with this program. We are also excited about the lithium potential of high-grade Dykes 2 through 7 where no recent drilling has been undertaken. We are looking forward to this next phase in our program on Zoro; we are funded and ready to take this further as results warrant.”
