First Phosphate Corp, a leading developer of battery-grade phosphate material, has released the latest set of assay results from its ongoing 25,000-meter drill program at the Begin-Lamarche project in Quebec. The results include several high-grade intersections, further demonstrating the robust mineralization potential of the project.
The highlights of the latest drill results include:
– In the Phosphate Mountain Zone, drill hole BL-24-56 intersected 11.82% P2O5 over 92.5 meters from a surface depth of 6.5 meters. This zone exhibits a thick layer of phosphate-bearing nelsonite outcropping on the surface, with several other high-grade intersections exceeding 10% P2O5.
– The Phosphate Mountain Zone is merging with the Northern Zone, which has delineated a 500-meter-thick phosphate mineralized envelope containing up to five individual layers ranging from 60 to 100 meters in thickness. The combined strike length of the Phosphate Mountain Zone and the Northern Zone is approximately 600 meters.
– In the Northern Zone, drill hole BL-24-40 intersected 7.76% P2O5 over 88.2 meters from a depth of 186.0 meters, including 9.33% P2O5 over 61.2 meters.
– Positive results were also observed in the Northwestern Zone and Southern Zone, indicating the project’s robust mineralization potential across multiple areas.
With a total of 23,398 meters drilled to date, assays from 9,155 meters have been completed, while 4,691 samples are still pending at the laboratory. These latest results further strengthen First Phosphate’s confidence in the project’s potential to become a significant source of high-quality phosphate material for the growing battery and agriculture industries.
