Highlights
Zigzag Lithium-Initial reconnaissance trip with the property completely under the cover of snow returns grades of Lithium (Li) up to 1.00% and Tantalum (Ta) up to 198 ppm.
McKellar REE Diatreme-Channel sampling of diatreme verifies historical findings and further evidenced Rare Earth Element (REE) system.
Esa-Extensive soil sampling campaign to build on the successful 2022 program completed with 539 samples now awaiting assay results.
Sunbeam-Historic data and core reviews completed alongside extensive
prospecting, sampling, and mapping program which includes rediscovery of a 3m wide quartz vein on the Pettigrew Trend.
North Hemlo-Exploration at
Zigzag Lithium The 6 claim Zigzag claim block is situated in a developing, prolific lithium endowered pegmatite belt, 60km northeast of
It is important to take these samples in context: this being that the site was covered in several feet of snow and it was specifically an access appraisal , that any samples were collected were a bonus. However to carry out prospecting in such conditions and produce these results gives great confidence on the wider mineralisation of the property. The exploration programme , going forward when logistics and other factors allow is to establish a temporary field camp at Zigzag to conduct a programme of sawn channel sampling to quantify the distribution of metals (Li / Ta) along the known 800m strike and width which is estimated at up to 20m
FCM is pleased to announce the results from the recent sampling of the McKellar diatreme have been received: not only confirming but enhancing the historic sampling. The McKellar property, comprising 66 claims covers 12.5km-2 is situated in prime geological terrain within the Coldwell complex. Located to the west of the Generation
The diatreme occupies a topographic low and occurs within a north trending linear stricture. The breccia may have been emplaced within a shear or fault zone, however, geologic data supporting this possibility are lacking. In total 18 sawn channel samples of approximately 1m were collected across the exposed diatreme, in addition 5 grab samples were also collect for assay. In 2013 prospecting, the results of geological mapping and rock sampling (5 bedrock grab samples were taken) of the diatreme, results of which and other assayed samples from the diatreme area are included in table 2 below along with the results from the highest two samples from FCM's recent sampling
