First Energy Metals Selected Grab Samples Assayed 43.69 Grams Per Tonne Silver at its Kokanee Creek Property in British Columbia, Canada
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 7, 2020 /CNW/ - First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) ("First Energy" or the "Company) is pleased to announce that it has received assay results from recently completed exploration work at its Kokanee Creek Property located in the southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The work included prospecting to locate historical mineralization areas, carry out surface sampling, and mapping of veins and geological structures. A total of 27 grab rock samples were collected from various outcrops and mineralized areas mentioned in the historical exploration work reports. The results indicate anomalous values of silver, cobalt, tungsten, and zinc. The Company wants to caution that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
Highlights (See Table 1 for Details):
- Silver (Ag) values are in the range of 0.19 grams per tonne (g/t) to 43.69 g/t with average of 27 samples is 7.95 g/t, while seven samples are over 10 g/t, and two samples are 43.69 g/t.
- Gold (Au) values are 0.006 g/t to 0.211 g/t with average 0.054 g/t.
- Zinc is from 29.3 parts per million (ppm) to over 10,000 ppm (>1% Zn), where three samples are over the laboratory's method detection limits of 10,000 ppm.
- Cobalt (Co) is from one ppm to over 2,000 ppm (>0.2%) where one sample is over the laboratory's method detection limits of 2,000 ppm.
- Tungsten (W) is from less than 0.1 ppm to over 100 ppm (>100ppm) where one sample is over the laboratory's method detection limits of 100 ppm.
The samples were prepared and analyzed at ACME Analytical Laboratories (Bureau Veritas) in Vancouver, BC which is an independent accredited laboratory. Samples were prepared and analyzed using codes: PRP70-250- Crush, split and pulverize 250 g rock to 200 mesh; and AQ252_EXT 34 1:1:1 Aqua Regia digestion Ultratrace ICP-MS analysis 30g, and FA430 – Gold by Lead Collection Fire Assay Fusion - AAS Finish 30 g. Two field duplicates were also inserted in the samples for quality assurance and quality control purposes (QA/QC). The Company has requested the laboratory to reanalyze the overlimit samples for zinc, cobalt and tungsten using a different method to get exact values.
Gurminder Sangha, CEO of First Energy Metals stated that, "Kokanee Creek exploration work has identified several good targets for a follow up work program. The silver results are very encouraging throughout the property, a few samples with high cobalt and tungsten have provided us a lead to carry out detailed sampling work in those areas. Our team is excited to have a promising silver property in the Company's portfolio of projects and we are looking forward to continue exploration in the near future."
During fieldwork at the Kokanee Creek Property in July 2020, a mineralization area with 2 kilometres by 500 meters dimensions was targeted where historical drilling in 1997 returned encouraging gold, silver, lead, or zinc mineralization at shallow depths. In this area, historical drill hole KC97-02 (Azimuth 052°/ Dip -45°) returned 26.11 grams per ton (g/t) gold over 0.7m from 7.0-7.7m, and 13.52 g/t gold over 1.4m from 21.8-23.2m. In addition, rock samples within the zone returned values of 3.54 percent (%) zinc, 4.22 g/t gold, and 48.0 g/t silver. A continuous chip rock sample taken along a road cut returned 0.3% zinc over 55 m, and 2.26 g/t gold over 5m.
