Far Resources Prepares to Mobilize Drill to its High-Grade Hidden Lake Lithium Project and Retains Renmark Financial Communications Inc.
Vancouver - Far Resources Ltd. (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“Far” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it will be mobilizing a drill to its high-grade Hidden Lake Lithium Project, NWT, on May 20, 2018, targeting high-grade lithium-bearing pegmatites with an initial minimum 1,100 metre diamond drilling campaign. Far has signed the drill contract with Northtech Drilling for the program which will be helicopter supported by Great Slave Helicopters and managed in the field by Henry Lole. John Gorham (P.Geo. NWT) will be the supervising geologist. Toby Mayo, Interim CEO of Far, stated,” The mobilization of the rig to Hidden Lake represents another significant milestone for the Company. It allows Far to expand its existing lithium portfolio while building on the technical successes we have achieved in Manitoba. We believe that this initial program at Hidden Lake will be equally as successful as our previous drilling campaigns at Zoro.”
The Hidden Lake Lithium Project
The Hidden Lake property covers 1,849 hectares and is located approximately 45 km east-northeast from Yellowknife, NWT. It can be reached from Yellowknife by the all-weather paved Ingraham Trail Highway (Highway 4), and/or by charter helicopter or float plane.
There are numerous lithium-bearing spodumene pegmatite dykes on the property, four of which were the focus of channel sampling and assaying by 92 Resources from whom Far has optioned the property. The channel samples confirmed significant lithium mineralization over substantial intervals for each of the four examined dykes, including a maximum value of 1.75% Li2O over 6.01 metres at the surface.
These four dykes will be the targets for this drill campaign with the intent to confirm historic high-grade lithium assays obtained from surface sampling and assess the widths and extent of the four target pegmatite dykes. The current drill program will support Far’s option to earn up to a 90% undivided interest in and to the Hidden Lake Property.
