First Energy Metals Assayed Up To 0.435% Cobalt at Phyllis Cobalt Project in Ontario

23.05.2018  |  FSCwire

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - First Energy Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: FE) (the “Company and “First Energy Metals”) is pleased to announce that it has received assay results from its recently concluded exploration work at the Phyllis Cobalt Property (the “Phyllis Property”). Highlights of the results are presented below (for details see attached table and map).

Highlights:

  • Overall results of 31 samples indicate cobalt (Co) values in the range of 0.001% (10 parts per million “ppm”) to 0.435% (4,350 ppm), copper (Cu) 0.03% to 0.602%, and nickel (Ni) 0.004% to 0.48%;
  • Two samples from historical Central Blast Pit show average 0.33% cobalt, 0.254% copper and 0.0195% nickel;
  • Seven samples from south historical blast pit show average 0.021% cobalt, 0.299% copper, and 0.176% nickel;
  • Cobalt- copper-nickel mineralization is hosted by fine to medium grained highly altered gabbro rocks; and
  • The samples tested for gold, platinum and palladium returned with low values of these precious metals.

A total of 31 grab rock samples were collected during the Phase 1 exploration work which was comprised of prospecting to locate historical cobalt (Co) showings; trenching and sampling to confirm historical cobalt, copper and nickel mineralization; and geological mapping to further explore the cobalt mineralization along its trend. Another purpose of the work was to locate ground geophysical survey areas and drill hole targets for the next phase of exploration. The samples were submitted to Activation Laboratories (ACTLABS) in Thunder Bay, Ontario and were tested either at its Thunder Bay or Ancaster labs in Ontario. Actlabs is an independent group of laboratories accredited to both ISO 17025 with CAN-P-1579  for specific registered tests.

The samples for this program were assayed using the following ACTLABS packages:

- Code 8 AR ICP-MS: A 0.5 g sample is digested in aqua regia and diluted volumetrically to 250 ml with 18 megaohm water. CANMET reference materials for the appropriate elements are digested the same way and are used as a verification standard(s). Samples are analyzed on a Varian Vista 735 ICP-OES or ICP-MS.

- Precious Metals package, Code 1C- ICP OES Fire Assay (FA-ICP): A 30 g sample is mixed with fire assay fluxes (borax, soda ash, silica, litharge) and with Ag added as a collector and the mixture is placed in a fire clay crucible. The mixture is then preheated at 850°C, intermediate 950°C and finish 1060°C.  After cooling the sample solution is analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd by ICP/OES using a Varian 735 ICP.  The instrument is recalibrated every 45 samples.  On each tray of 42 samples there are two method blanks, three sample duplicates, and 2 certified reference materials (Source: Actlabs website).

Mr. Gurminder Sangha, CEO of First Energy Metals stated that, “We are very pleased with results of first round of exploration work which attest to the merit of the Phyllis Cobalt Property as a viable exploration target. These results not only confirmed the historical data but also provided a lead for developing future work plan. The Company intends to continue further work on the Property which will include checking lateral extension of cobalt mineralization through ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling.”

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Alexander Pleson, P.Geo., a qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101 who works as consultant with the Company. The current exploration work was carried out under his supervision.
