(firmenpresse) - Vancouver, B.C. (February 08, 2021) - First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (First Energy or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire another lithium exploration property located in Landrienne & Lacorne-Townships, Quebec, Canada. The property consists of 15 mining claims in two non-contiguous claim groups representing a total area of 671.58 hectares located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of the town of Val dOr on map sheet 32C/05. The newly acquired claims are located to the west and south of the Augustus Lithium Property claims which were optioned in January 2021 (see Companys news release dated Jan 21, 2021).
Property Highlights
- Of particular interest on this new acquisition is claim CDC-2196058 (Range 1 Lot 25) which hosts a part of the historical Canadian Lithium Prospect which extends to the west from the Augustus claim CDC-2427519.
- The Canadian lithium prospect is a worked deposit located in Range 1 lot 25-26 in the Landrienne Township at G.P.S 284861 E - 5368288 N. The main outcrop was discovered in 1948 near the boundary line separating the Landrienne and Lacorne Townships. A group of parallel pegmatite dykes associated with Lacorne Batholith contains aggregates of spodumene, lepidolite, quartz and feldspar accompanied by traces of beryl, clevelandite, colombo-tantalite.
- Historical drilling in 1955 on claim CDC-2196058 documented on the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MERN) database indicate a total of 12 drill holes with a cumulative drilling 1,454 metres indicating extension of Canadian Lithium deposit to the west on this newly acquired claim. Additionally, fourteen historical drill holes documented on the Canadian Lithium Prospect located on the adjoining Augustus claim have already been reported in the Companys news release dated February 02, 2021.
- Highlights of the historical drilling results are provided below (also see Table 1):
- Drilling results show several large low grade lithium pegmatite intercepts ranging in width from 5.73 meters (m) to 84.94m with lithium grades 0.11% lithium oxide (Li2O) to 0.38% Li2O.
- The low-grade pegmatites are intersected by high grade spodumene bearing lithium pegmatites with grades in the range of 1.2% Li2O to 2.3% Li2O and widths in the range of 0.46m to 6.55m (Source Reports GM03952 and GM00744).

Gurminder Sangha, CEO of First Energy Metals stated that, We are pleased to acquire additional lithium exploration claims in the Augustus Lithium Property area. Now the Companys claim area completely covers the historical Canadian Lithium Prospect with 2,398 m diamond drilling performed in 26 drill holes. With a total of over 12,000 metres drilling in 74 drill holes over the entire property gives a wealth of data to make future exploration plans. We feel the new acquisition in the growing lithium market will assist with creating value for both current and prospective shareholders.
