魁北克省薩格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年7月26日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，本公司位於加拿大魁北克省薩格奈東北84公裏處的Lac à l’Orignal項目區的初步經濟評估（“PEA”）結果良好。
First Phosphate於2022年收購並協商獲得了該項目區100%的免特許權使用費權益。初步經濟評估為開發該礦產提供了一個可行的案例，即通過露天開采進行磷酸鹽精礦的初級生產以及磁鐵礦和鈦鐵礦精礦的二次回收。First Phosphate作為一家礦產開發公司，致力於提取和提純磷酸鹽，用於生產磷酸鐵鋰（“LFP”）電池行業的陰極活性材料。
First Phosphate總裁Peter Kent表示，“我們對Lac à l’Orignal項目區的初步經濟評估結果和及時交付感到非常欣慰。我們保持低資本支出和控制礦山規模的戰略與這些初步經濟評估結果非常吻合。我們現在能夠審慎地評估本公司的下一步發展，因為我們將繼續履行使命，采用基於合作夥伴關系的方法，為北美液化磷酸電池行業垂直整合從礦山到高附加值生產的純化磷酸和液化磷酸陰極活性材料。”
Forward-Looking Information and Cautionary Statements
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that the Indicated Mineral Resources will be converted to the Probable Mineral Reserve category, and there is no certainty that the updated Mineral Resource statement will be realized.
