Vancouver, B.C. (February 02, 2021) – First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (“First Energy” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that it has planned Phase 1 Exploration work on its recently acquired Augustus lithium property located near Val-d’Or in Quebec, Canada. The work will commence in the second week of February and includes prospecting, mapping and sampling of known lithium prospects (Augustus and Canadian Lithium Prospects) on the Property. The scope of work is to confirm the historical surface sampling results on three known historical lithium and silver prospects, to confirm location of historical drill holes, and to develop future exploration targets on the property.
The Phase 1 work plan is based upon the compilation of historical exploratory drilling data available from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources Quebec. The Company has acquired data for 62 drill holes with over 10,000 metres drilling carried out on the Property since the early 1950’s. Highlights of historical exploration work on three historically known prospects are provided below and was partially reported in January 21 news release of the Company.
Augustus Lithium Prospect
The Augustus pegmatite is oriented N30°W, extending more than 850 meters along strike, and lithium mineralization is confined to the pegmatite body with an average grade of 1.12% lithium oxide (Li2O) (0.52% Li) across an average width of 7.6. meters. Its depth extension is not fully known yet, however previous drilling has intersected high-grade lithium down to 682 feet (207 m). (Source: Géologie Québec - Results of the query (gouv.qc.ca)).
The highlights of the previous drilling results include:1.69% Li2O over 9 feet (2.74m), 1.25% Li2O over 27.5 feet (8.38m), 1.07% Li2O over 20 feet (6.1m), 1.66% Li2O over 12.5 feet (3.8m), and 1.41% Li2O over 27 feet (8.23m) (Source Report GM03952).
Based on the 1955 drilling results, the continuity of lithium mineralization is established between all drill holes for over 850 meters strike length down to a depth of 207 m (682 feet) of the Augustus pegmatite body. If mineralization continuity can be proven by future drilling down to over 200 meters level as shown in historical drill hole results, a potential resource target of 4 million tonnes at 1% Li2O can be achieved.
Cautionary Statement: Investors are cautioned that the potential quantity and grade mentioned above is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The potential target is based upon historical drilling results taken from report GM03952 (April 27, 1956) and other sources from MRNF Quebec.
Canadian Lithium Prospect
The Canadian lithium prospect is a worked deposit representing a group of parallel pegmatite dykes associated with Lacorne Batholith contains aggregates of spodumene, lepidolite, quartz and feldspar accompanied by traces of beryl, clevelandite, colombo-tantalite.
Drilling at the prospect have shown low grade lithium bearing pegmatite intersections of extensive widths. A total of 14 historical drill holes are located on this prospect having drilled depths in the range of 26m to 184m and a cumulative drilling of 944m. It has been estimated that a section of 90.0 m by 30.0 m contains 5.0 to 10.0% lithium bearing spodumene. (Source Reports GM03952 and GM00744). This deposit represents a potential for low grade bulk tonnage of lithium pegmatite material.
The highlights of historical drilling program are: 0.25% Li2O over 154.1 feet including 1.25% Li2O over 13.5 feet, 0.12% Li2O over 227 feet, and 0.14% Li2O over 173.6 feet. (Source Reports GM03952 and GM00744).
Landrienne Silver Prospect
Silver mineralization occurs in quartz and carbonate veins intersecting felsic to mafic lavas and locally in massive sulphides. These volcanics belong to the Landrienne Formation. The mineralization is mainly in the form of sulphides (pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite) disseminated in quartz and carbonate veins and also locally in the form of lenses of massive sulphides.
Historical drilling documented for this prospect comprised of 30 drill holes with over 6,000 m cumulative drilling.
Report GM 02989-B: the best results obtained from the holes drilled in 1954 are 10.3 ppm silver over 0.8 meters, 11.7 ppm silver over 0.6 meters, 8.6 ppm silver over 0.6 meters, 9.6 ppm d silver over 0.6 meters, 2000 ppm copper over 1.5 meters, 1000 ppm copper over 0.6 meters, 8.6 ppm silver over 0.6 meters. GM 28244: a drilling carried out in 1972 returned 2000 ppm of copper over 2.6 meters. GM 66408: a selected sample yielded 36.8% iron.
Cautionary Statement: Investors are cautioned that the above information is taken from the publicly available sources. The Company has not been able to independently verify the information contained. The information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Property, which is the subject of this news release. The Company will need to conduct exploration to confirm historical mineralization reported on the property and there is no guarantee that significant discovery will be made as a result of its exploration efforts. The Company is in the process of compiling exploration and geological data available on the property and surrounding area to develop an exploration work plan.

hab mich mit ner kleinen Position bei 0,14 eingekauft.
Innerhalb von 3 Wochen Verdoppler. Gibt schlimmeres ^^
Ich bin positiv gestimmt was die nächsten Tage und Wochen angeht. Der Newsflow ist sehr gut und ich denke und hoffe, dass wir bald auf 1,00 CAN$ zusteuern.
Nein es gab keinerlei schlechten Nachrichten soviel ich weiss, ich denke der Rückgang ist auf den gestern allgemein schwachen Gesamtmarkt zurückzuführen. Da wurden auch die Nebenwerte teils mit nach unten gerissen. Bald sollte es wieder News geben, das dürfte dann auch den Kurs wieder beflügeln :-) Wie gesagt, man braucht oft etwas Geduld bei diesem Wert, da er -insbesondere bei uns in Deutschland- noch relativ unbekann ist. Der Kurs wird hautpsächlich in der Heimatbörse in Canada gemacht.

March 12, 2021
Vancouver, B.C. (March 12, 2021) – First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (“First Energy” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, dated March 12, 2021 to acquire a 100% interest into additional mining claims located near its Augustus Lithium Property in Landrienne & Lacorne-Townships, Quebec, Canada. The newly acquired properties consist of 242 mining claims covering a total area of 12,769.13 hectares located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of the town of Val d’Or on map sheets 32C/05 and 32D08.

Vancouver, B.C. (March 16, 2021) – First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (“First Energy” or the “Company) is pleased to announce assay results of the first round of channel sampling from the Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. A total of eleven selected channel samples were cut out of which 9 samples were from Augustus Prospect and 2 from the Canadian Lithium Prospect. The results indicated anomalous values of lithium and other rare metals where four samples have lithium oxide (Li2O) values of over 1 percent and one sample assayed 2.8% (Li2O).
Highlights of Assays (see Table 1 for details)
Lithium (Li) values are in the range of 27 ppm (parts per million) to 13,000 ppm (1.3% Li) with an average of 3,130.64 ppm, where four samples are over 5,000 ppm lithium.
Lithium oxide (Li2O) values are in the range of 0.01 percent (%) to 2.8% Li2O with an average of 0.67% Li2O where four samples are over 1% Li2O.
Beryllium values are in the range of 48 ppm to 3,010 ppm with and average of 758.27 ppm.
Cesium is in the range of 17.8 ppm to 233 ppm with an average of 79.70 ppm.

Tantalum (Ta) is in the range of 21.7 ppm to 129 ppm with an average of 63.33 ppm.
The ground exploration work has been continuous since February 2021 and its purpose is to locate and confirm historical lithium pegmatite occurrences on two lithium prospects (Augustus and Canadian Lithium Prospects), to locate historical drill holes on the Property completed in 1950’s, and to prepare for the upcoming drilling program planned for a possible start date in the third week of April 2021.The pegmatite outcrops were exposed using an excavator due to heavy cover of snow and some overburden. Several historical drill hole casings were located which will provide useful guidelines for placing future drill holes and mapping lithium pegmatites on surface. The field exploration is continuous, and more channel sampling is being carried out on the exposed outcrops. The weather is expected to warm up in the coming weeks which will help thawing of frozen ground to continue sampling.
Gurminder Sangha, CEO of First Energy Metals stated that, “First Energy’s exploration plan is progressing very well to confirm historical exploration work results on the property. The efforts of our field crew are commendable as they were able to uncover the lithium pegmatites under heavy snow cover. The fieldwork and channel sampling will continue as the weather is expected to warm up during the coming weeks. First Energy is in the process of preparing a work plan on the property which includes diamond core drilling, metallurgical testwork to see the potential to produce battery grade lithium carbonate, and resource estimation. The Company is contacting suitable contractors to secure drillers and consultants to move the project forward. First Energy has also started the drill permitting process and will provide an update on further development in all these aspects. To date, the Company has compiled historical drill hole data, completed on the Property, for 74 historical dill holes with a cumulative drilling of 12,123.14 m, out which 6,024 m drilling was completed on two lithium prospects on the property. All this data will help to develop future exploratory drill program and building a data base for NI 43-101 resource estimation”.
Each channel sample from this program represents about 30 cm long, 5 cm wide and 3-5 cm deep cut in bedrock. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories (“ACTLABS”), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratories code Ultratrace 7 as summarized below.

The ground exploration work has been continuous since February 2021 and its purpose is to locate and confirm historical lithium pegmatite occurrences on two lithium prospects (Augustus and Canadian Lithium Prospects), to locate historical drill holes on the Property completed in 1950’s, and to prepare for the upcoming drilling program planned as soon as a drill contractor is available. The pegmatite outcrops were exposed using an excavator due to heavy cover of snow and some overburden. Several historical drill hole casings were located which will provide useful guidelines for placing future drill holes and mapping lithium pegmatites on surface. The field exploration is continuous, and more channel sampling is being carried out on the exposed outcrops. The weather is expected to warm up in the coming weeks which will help thawing of frozen ground to continue sampling.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 15, 2021 /CNW/ - First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) ("First Energy" or the "Company) is pleased to announce assay results of another round of grab and channel sampling from the Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. A total of 24 grab and channel samples of varying lengths were cut out of Beluga Pegmatite Zone with a surface exposure of over 100 metres wide and 250 m along strike located at the Canadian Lithium Prospect. The present sampling represents 10.64 metres of channel sampling in the southern part of the Beluga Pegmatite. The field crew is continuously cutting and sampling the remaining outcrops which will be reported as soon as the results are available. Three out of four grab samples assayed up to 4.61 percent (%) lithium oxide (Li2O) with an average value of 3.04% Li2O while the fourth sample returned a low value of 12 ppm lithium. Results of channel sampling completed so far on Beluga Pegmatite indicate a width of 10.64 metres at 0.24% Li2O.
Highlights of Channel Samples Assays (see Table 1 for details)
Lithium (Li) values are in the range of 34 ppm (parts per million) to 4,020 ppm (0.4% Li) with an average of 1,051.70 ppm, where seven samples are over 1,000 ppm lithium.
Lithium oxide (Li2O) values are in the range of 0.001% to 0.87% Li2O with a total width of 10.64 metres at 0.24% Li2O.
Beryllium values are in the range of 103 ppm to 574 ppm, cesium is in the range of 6.6 ppm to 83.9 ppm, and niobium is from 51 ppm to 87.1 ppm.
Rubidium is in the range of 58.4 ppm to 2,720 ppm, tantalum is 44.7 ppm 81.3 ppm, and barium from 24 ppm to 113 ppm.
The ground exploration work has been continuous since February 2021 and its purpose is to locate and confirm historical lithium pegmatite occurrences on two lithium prospects (Augustus and Canadian Lithium Prospects), to locate historical drill holes on the Property completed in 1950's, and to support the ongoing drill program. The pegmatite outcrops are exposed using an excavator, and several historical drill hole casings were located which are useful guidelines for placing drill holes and mapping lithium pegmatites on surface. The field exploration is continuous, and more channel sampling is being carried out on the exposed outcrops.
Each channel sample from this program represents about 0.26 – 0.87 cm long, 5 cm wide and 3-5 cm deep cut in bedrock. Grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories ("ACTLABS"), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratories code Ultratrace 7 as summarized below. ACTLABS is an independent commercial, accredited ISO Certified Laboratory.
