VANCOUVER, Sept. 28, 2020 - First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) ("First Energy" or the "Company) is pleased to announce that it has received assay results for overlimit grab rock samples of its Kokanee Creek Property located in the southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The results were originally reported on September 7, 2020 news release indicating three samples for zinc, and one sample for cobalt and tungsten over the laboratory's method detection limits. The Company requested the laboratory to reanalyze the overlimit samples for zinc, cobalt and tungsten using a different method to get exact values.
Highlights:
- Zinc values in three overlimit samples are in the range of 1.06% to 4.42% with average of 3 samples is 2.66%.
- Cobalt and tungsten values in Sample KK20-16R are 0.237% and 0.076% respectively using method AQ370.
- Samples KK20-02R and KK20-16R with silver results of 43 g/t were reanalyzed using fire assay method FA530 came back with values of 41 g/t and 38 g/t silver.
The July 2020 exploration work included prospecting to locate historical mineralization areas, carry out surface sampling, and mapping of veins and geological structures. A total of 27 grab rock samples were collected from various outcrops and mineralized areas mentioned in the historical exploration work reports. The results indicate anomalous values of silver, cobalt, tungsten, and zinc. The Company wants to caution that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
The samples were prepared and analyzed at ACME Analytical Laboratories (Bureau Veritas) in Vancouver, BC which is an independent accredited laboratory. Samples were prepared and analyzed using codes: PRP70-250- Crush, split and pulverize 250 g rock to 200 mesh; AQ252_EXT 34 1:1:1 Aqua Regia digestion Ultratrace ICP-MS analysis 30g; AQ370 – ICP AES analysis (1g); FA430 – Gold by Lead Collection Fire Assay Fusion - AAS Finish 30 g; and FA530 – Silver by Lead collection fire assay fusion - Gravimetric finish (30 g). Two field duplicates were also inserted in the samples for quality assurance and quality control purposes (QA/QC).
During fieldwork at the Kokanee Creek Property in July 2020, a mineralization area with 2 kilometres by 500 meters dimensions was targeted where historical drilling in 1997 returned encouraging gold, silver, lead, or zinc mineralization at shallow depths. In this area, historical drill hole KC97-02 (Azimuth 052°/ Dip -45°) returned 26.11 grams per ton (g/t) gold over 0.7m from 7.0-7.7m, and 13.52 g/t gold over 1.4m from 21.8-23.2m. In addition, rock samples within the zone returned values of 3.54 percent (%) zinc, 4.22 g/t gold, and 48.0 g/t silver. A continuous chip rock sample taken along a road cut returned 0.3% zinc over 55 m, and 2.26 g/t gold over 5m.
