Far Resources Completes Drill Program and Intersects up to 40.5 metres of Spodumene Pegmatite in Dyke 1, Zoro Lithium Property, Manitoba


Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Far Resources Ltd (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“Far Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has finalized its recently announced drill program (see news release dated September 21, 2017) focused on Dyke 1 within its Zoro Lithium Property in the Snow Lake area, Manitoba.

An aggregate length of 710 metres of NQ core was drilled to assess areas of Dyke 1 where no modern drilling had been previously undertaken. Light green spodumene typical of this mineral in Dyke 1 was intersected in drill intercepts of 40.5 m, 39.8 m, 23 m, 19.8 m and 7.5 m.  A total of 207 spodumene-bearing core samples have been sawn from the core and prepared for shipping for lithium and related element assays to ISO-certified Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario (“Actlab”). The general characteristics of the individual drill holes is given in Table 1.  Assay results will be reported when complete.

The company has received a preliminary analytical report of assay results from 60 rock samples collected during field operations at Dykes 2, 3 and 4. Upon receipt of Actlab’s final analytical report the results will be released in a news release.

SGS Mineral Services (Vancouver, B.C.) has notified the Company that 410 soil samples collected during a recent field program on the Zoro property have been received and are currently being analyzed using Mobile Metal Ions Technology. These samples were collected from overburden-covered areas north and south along trend of all known dykes on the property. These areas are interpreted to be highly prospective for additional spodumene-bearing pegmatite.  Subsequent to receipt of the final SGS report and interpretation, results will be released in a news release.

Keith Anderson, Far Resources’ President and CEO notes, “The intersection of significant widths of spodumene in the Dyke 1 pegmatite underscores the persistent nature of lithium mineralization in all segments of this pegmatite dyke. A more complete understanding of the distribution of lithium mineralization in Dyke 1 will be possible upon receipt of assay results from this phase of drilling and the re-calibration of our 3-dimensional model. The assessment of Dykes 2, 3 and 4 based on the ongoing integration of historic drill data with recent field mapping and assay results will give us the opportunity to model these dykes in 3-dimensions thereby providing well constrained drill targets.   We are eagerly pushing forward with our exploration program; the more quality, purposeful geoscientific data that we gather, the more momentum we gain.  We have a plan and we have the funds so we are striving to move Zoro ahead every single day.”
