Financing

Mining Assets

The Company acquired the Zoro Lithium Property in 2016 and completed a drill program on the property in late October.  The Company is awaiting the drill results at this time and will release the results as soon as they are available, which should be sometime between late December and mid-January depending on when the laboratory completes its analyses.  

In June 2016, the Company amended its option agreement to acquire up to an 80% interest in and to 20 unpatented and 2 patented mineral claims located in Sierra County, New Mexico, U.S.A. known as the Winston Property and initiated permitting for an exploration program to verify the results from work carried out in the 1980s.  The Company continues to work with local authorities with regard to obtaining approval of its permitting application. 

Now that the drill program on the Zoro Lithium Property has been completed, Far Resources plans to pursue further exploration at its Winston Property.as weather permits in the spring of 2017.  See news release dated February 1 and June 27, 2016 for further details. 

The Company optioned its Tchentlo Property to Alchemist Mining Inc. (CSE: AMS) (“Alchemist’) in 2015,  and in 2016, the Company and Alchemist amended the terms of the option agreement. Details of the option agreement and the Tchentlo Property are in the Company’s news releases dated June 24, 2014, August 6, 2015 and September 7, 2016. 

Keith Anderson, President and CEO of Far Resources commented, “We have had a busy and eventful year, and are very pleased with the progress we are making in advancing both the Zoro Lithium Property and Winston Property projects.  We are pleased to welcome Shastri to the Board of Directors and look forward to working with her.  Her experience and expertise in exploration, particularly in Manitoba, where our Zoro Lithium Property is located, will be invaluable to us as we move this project forward.  In 2016, we settled up a number of obligations with service providers through the issuance of shares.  We believe this will allow the Company to move forward into 2017 with an improved balance sheet and a group of dedicated consultants ready to take on new tasks in the New Year.  We are looking forward to a successful 2017 and wish to thank all our stakeholders for their ongoing support.”
