Far Resources Initiates Second Field Program to Expand Potential of Additional Lithium Dyke Swarms
Vancouver, BC (FSCwire) - Far Resources Ltd (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (www.farresources.com) ("Far Resources" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that based on the success of its recently completed field program and the identification of a spodumene bearing dyke swarm (the "Dyke Swarm") in the area of Dykes 5, 6, and 7 a second round of exploration will commence on August 9, 2017 focusing on the area of historic Dykes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Previous chip sampling of Dykes 2 and 4 by the Company documented Li2O contents of 2.71%, 3.53% and 2.41% (cf. May 2, 2017 news release).
Sampling and analysis of Dykes 5 and 7 produced Li2O contents ranging from 1.46-6.35% in Dyke 5 and 1.35-2.91% in Dyke 7. The new Dyke Swarm was exposed in multiple trenches and pits and in outcrop between Dykes 5 and 7.These new zones of spodumene-bearing pegmatite were previously unreported in the Manitoba government assessment files and suggest potential may exist for a bulk minable resource.Accordingly, potential exists for similar new spodumene-bearing dykes adjacent to Dykes 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the property.
Dr. Mark Fedikow and Orix Geoscience are collaborating on the exploration program with assistance from Dr. Bob Linnen of the University of Western Ontario and Dr. Tania Martins of the Manitoba Geological Survey.
Keith Anderson, Far Resources President and CEO states: "We are ecstatic about the recognition of multiple spodumene-bearing dykes trending in many different directions at Dykes 5, 6 and 7. Given the recognition of this Dyke Swarm we are returning to the property with the intent of closely examining the potential for further additional mineralized pegmatite dyke swarms in the vicinity of Dykes 1, 2, 3 and 4.The presence of dyke swarms on the property is exciting in terms of exploration potential, resource building and the potential to develop an open pit bulk mining scenario."
The Company is pleased to announce that as of the date of this news release, more than 9,000,000 of the Company's outstanding warrants have been exercised by shareholders.TheCompany offers its appreciation and thanks to all its stakeholders for their continued support as the exploration plan for the Zoro Lithium Property continues to unfold.
