Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 25, 2016) - Far Resources Ltd. (CSE: FAT) ("Far
Resources" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced preparations to drill test lithium-bearing
pegmatites on its recently optioned Zoro1 claim in the historic mining camp of Snow Lake, Manitoba (see news release dated April
28, 2016).
The Zoro1 Property
The Zoro1 property is located 20 km east of the mining centre of Snow Lake near the east shore of Wekusko Lake in west-central
Manitoba, approximately 249 km southeast of Thompson and 571 km north-northeast of Winnipeg. The property consists of one claim
covering an area of approximately 52 hectares.
Geology and Mineralogy
The property is situated in NTS area 63J13SE in the east end of the Proterozoic Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt where base
and precious metal has been mined for 80 years. It is underlain by Ocean Floor mafic volcanic rocks and related intrusions, Missi
Group clastic sedimentary rocks and the Zoro1 pegmatites.
Seven known pegmatite dykes have been identified on the property. They strike northwest and dip steeply northeast and individual
pegmatite dykes attain lengths of up to 200 m and widths of up to 30 m. The "Main Dyke" is the most westerly of the dykes on the
property and it outcrops along the west side of a 5 m high ridge where it intrudes siliceous metasedimentary rocks and amphibolite.
It is 27 m wide and is exposed in 16 trenches over a length of 183 m.
The dykes tend to be concentric in internal structure and the grain size of the constituent minerals (potassium feldspar,
quartz, spodumene and black tourmaline) coarsens towards the center of the dykes. This pattern may be locally interrupted by
patches of saccharoidal albite, large muscovite aggregates and coarse albite stringers with garnet and beryl. Spodumene is
concentrated in the cores of the dykes and occurs as crystals up to 35 cm long over widths of 6 m or more. Columbite-tantalite and
sparse minute grains of pyrite and chalcopyrite were found in thin sections and gold mineralization is present in quartz-rich veins
and laminae.
The Zoro1 pegmatite dykes are classified as a spodumene rare metal pegmatite.
Historic Exploration
The seven Zoro1 pegmatites are exposed by a series of sixteen main trenches and tested by 78 diamond drill holes during historic
exploration undertaken in 1956 by Green Bay Mining and Exploration Ltd. and others.
Approximately 6096 m of diamond drilling was done on the dykes with 3048 m dedicated to the larger of the dykes referred to as
the "main dyke". Estimates of grade and tonnage for the main dyke were 1.72 million tonnes averaging 1.3% Li2O or 2.72 million
tonnes at 1.0% Li2O to a depth of 305 m (Mulligan, 1957a, b; 1965). Assays of 2.42% to 7.28% Li2O were reported from Dyke 5 with
significant assays reported from all dykes on the property (Green Bay Mining and Exploration Ltd. Corporation File). The above
estimates of grade and tonnage are historical and were calculated prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101
Standards of Disclosure of for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") using historical terminology and are not meant to be
interpreted as current estimates as defined in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. They are presented solely to provide a historical
frame of reference and as a guide to future exploration. Although believed to be reliable, no "qualified person" as defined in NI
43-101 has done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. Accordingly,
the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve and it should not be relied
upon. Further exploration including new diamond drilling will be required to assess and verify the historical estimate as current
mineral resources or mineral reserves.
Current Work
Far Resources crews have recently returned from a trip to the property. The locations of claim posts have been confirmed and 18
historic drill collars located. The drill collar data coupled with historic drill logs, drill hole attitudes and assay results will
assist in reconstruction of the pegmatites in the subsurface and the selection of drill targets for the upcoming drill program.
The scientific and technical information regarding the Zoro 1 property contained in this news release has been approved by Mark
Fedikow, P.Geo., a consultant of Far Resources and a "qualified person" as defined in NI 43-101.
