Vancouver, BC (FSCwire) - Far Resources Ltd (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“Far Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce field work, including Mobile Metal Ions Technology (“MMI”) soil geochemical surveys, geological mapping, drill core sampling and prospecting have been completed on the Zoro property. A total of 784 soil samples were collected based on sampling protocols established early in the exploration program.

 

Mapping and prospecting in the areas of existing MMI anomalies did not indicate an obvious source for the elevated lithium responses. This is significant as it demonstrates the power of the geochemical technique to pierce through the overlying glacial till and other overburden cover, as proved by hole FAR18-035, which intercepted significant lithium mineralization under cover at Dyke 8.

 

Toby Mayo, CEO and President of Far Resources Ltd. stated: “Despite the clear disconnect between the share price performance of lithium explorers and the underlying industry—driven by the ongoing shift towards electric mobility—the fundamental supply and demand case for lithium remains extremely robust. Our commitment to Zoro and our ongoing programmes at the Project reflect our belief that lithium demand will continue to grow; we will be well-positioned to meet that demand as we develop Zoro through staged, strategic exploration.”

 

All 784 samples have been received by SGS Canada Inc. in Vancouver, BC. Results will be released once analysis and QC has been completed. A geological map is in production with an expected completion during November.

 

Mobile Metal Ions Surveys and Diamond Drill Program

 

The MMI surveys were undertaken in areas of known lithium-bearing pegmatite to provide vectors for extensions of the dykes and to provide new drill targets in areas of no known pegmatite dykes. The successful drill testing of a MMI anomaly in 2017, which led to the discovery of Dyke 8, provided the rationale for expanding these surveys to the remainder of the property. Samples were collected on 50 metre staggered centres using Dutch augers.

 

Surveys in 2017 and new samples collected in 2018 are depicted in Figure 1.

Combined results for 2017 and 2018 MMI surveys will be integrated with Far Resources geoscientific database consisting of new geological mapping results, previous drill results and related assays to select drill targets for 2018. The Company is planning an Autumn drill program to test lithium MMI anomalies pending accessibility to and viability of establishing drill sites in the area of MMI anomalies prior to freeze-up.
