VANCOUVER, Feb. 28, 2018 /CNW/ - First Energy Metals
Ltd. (TSX-V: FE) (the "Company) is pleased to announce that it has commenced Phase I of its exploration program at the
recently optioned Phyllis Cobalt Property (the "Phyllis Property"). The program will comprise prospecting to locate
historical cobalt (Co) showing; trenching and sampling to confirm reported cobalt, copper and nickel mineralization; and
geological mapping to further explore the cobalt mineralization along its trend. Another purpose of the current work is to locate
ground geophysical survey areas and drill hole targets for the next phase of exploration.
The Phyllis Cobalt property consists of 1792 hectares land located in the Kenora Mining District of Ontario. Geologically, the Phyllis Property claim block occupies the central portion of a ENE-WSW trending
greenstone belt, consisting of Mesoarchean to Neoarchean age mafic to ultramafic rocks. These are bound by granite of varying
composition - ranging from tonalite to biotite-granodiorite.
The initial cobalt discovery on the Phyllis Property was made in 2010 and this historical discovery is reported to be an
80m x 60m outcrop and appears as a fairly structureless gabbro, with
the exception of an array of narrow quartz veins and veinlets, which have sharp contacts with the country rock and trend roughly
NE-SW and appear to have been intruded relatively recently. The gabbro itself is fine-to medium grained and appears highly
altered. The exposed outcrop follows the northern flank of a gentle hill. Earlier excavations focused in the uppermost parts of
the topographic profile. The initial work program is currently scheduled to begin on or before March 31,
2018
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Alexander
