魁北克省薩格奈–(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，本公司已確認在其位於加拿大魁北克省薩格奈-拉克-聖讓地區的Bégin-Lamarche項目北部區域500米處確定了一個新的高品位發現區。這些區域最初是在2022年秋天的勘探活動中發現的，並在去年秋天的26個抓取樣本中發現了高品位的 P2O5（磷酸鹽）。
與此同時，在Larouche地區也繼續獲得高品位的分析測定結果，其中一個樣本中的P2O5（磷酸鹽）品位高達39.45%，位於純磷灰石（含有磷酸鹽的主礦物）的不規則岩層中。按照這種純度，該礦物可被視為直接運輸礦石（“DSO”）。
Bégin-Lamarche項目結果
抓取采樣發現，在現有北部礦區以北500米處存在一個高品位磷酸鹽區。本公司將這一新區域命名為Mountain Zone，長約350米，寬約175米。根據實地觀察，岩石類型為鈉長岩橄欖岩，這是該礦區發現磷酸鹽的最有利的岩石類型。在這一區域共抓取了26份樣本，其中大部分樣本的P2O5（磷酸鹽）含量在7.17%到17.83%之間，平均P2O5含量為10.6%。
First Phosphate首席執行官John Passalacqua解釋道，“Begin-Lamarche項目繼續顯示出為本公司提供另一個重要磷礦的前景。更重要的是，該礦區距深海港口薩格奈（Saguenay）僅70公裏，具有巨大的物流優勢。”
