FE Battery Metals intersects 1.03% lithium oxide over 10 metres near Augustus

FE Battery Metals (CSE: FE; OTCQB: FEMFF) has announced results of drill hole LC23-51 from the current 2023 drill program at the flagship Augustus lithium property in Quebec. LC23-51 intersected two lithium pegmatites zones including a 10-metre-wide section of 1.03% lithium oxide at 118 metres drilled depth.  

Highlights from the hole include the following:  

• The upper pegmatite at drill hole LC23-51 intersected a four-metre zone with 0.95% Li₂O at 99 metres drilled depth, including a 3-metres zone of 1.38% Li₂O at 99.5 metres. In addition, there are anomalous values of other rare metals in this section such as beryllium, cesium, niobium, and tantalum.  
• The lower pegmatite at LC23-51 intersected a 15-metres zone with 0.80% Li₂O at 116.5 metres drilled depth, including a 10-metres zone of 1.03% Li₂O at 118 metres. In addition, there are anomalous values of other rare metals in this section such as beryllium, cesium, niobium, and tantalum occurred in the pegmatite. 
• Drill hole LC23-51 was positioned within the main Augustus zone approximately 53 metres away from the previously reported drill hole, LC23-50, which also encountered strong lithium mineralization over 17 metres. 

The company also pleased to announce that a drill hole completed at the Landrienne silver prospect intersected 39- metres wide anomalous silver zone from 20 metres drilled depth. Drill hole SV23-01, from Landrienne Sud silver prospect, intersected a 39-metres wide zone at 20 metres drilled depth with anomalous values of silver with average 0.41 ppm silver.  

The company is looking to explore this area further as a silver exploration target within over 60,000-acre Augustus claim block. 

"As we continue to explore our lithium property, we are thrilled to report anomalous silver intercepts in our recent findings. This showcases the potential of our property to host multiple valuable minerals, along with highlighting our commitment to a thorough and comprehensive exploration program at Augustus," said Gurminder Sangha, CEO of FE Battery Metals.
