魁北克省萨格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2024年1月29日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，本公司已确认在其位于加拿大魁北克省萨格奈-拉克-圣让地区的Bégin-Lamarche项目北部区域500米处确定了一个新的高品位发现区。这些区域最初是在2022年秋天的勘探活动中发现的，并在去年秋天的26个抓取样本中发现了高品位的 P2O5（磷酸盐）。
与此同时，在Larouche地区也继续获得高品位的分析测定结果，其中一个样本中的P2O5（磷酸盐）品位高达39.45%，位于纯磷灰石（含有磷酸盐的主矿物）的不规则岩层中。按照这种纯度，该矿物可被视为直接运输矿石（“DSO”）。
Bégin-Lamarche项目结果
抓取采样发现，在现有北部矿区以北500米处存在一个高品位磷酸盐区。本公司将这一新区域命名为Mountain Zone，长约350米，宽约175米。根据实地观察，岩石类型为钠长岩橄榄岩，这是该矿区发现磷酸盐的最有利的岩石类型。在这一区域共抓取了26份样本，其中大部分样本的P2O5（磷酸盐）含量在7.17%到17.83%之间，平均P2O5含量为10.6%。
First Phosphate首席执行官John Passalacqua解释道，“Begin-Lamarche项目继续显示出为本公司提供另一个重要磷矿的前景。更重要的是，该矿区距深海港口萨格奈（Saguenay）仅70公里，具有巨大的物流优势。”
