First Energy Metals (TSXV:FE,OTC Pink:ASKDF) has completed its Phase 1 drill program at its Phyllis cobalt asset in Ontario, Canada.
As stated in the press release:
Two AW size (1.9 inches or 48.26 mm ID) diamond core drill holes were completed totalling eighty-two (82) metres drilled by Ombabika Development Corporation of Nipigon, Ontario (see attached map for drill hole location). The first drill hole was drilled at 60-degree angle towards 070-degree azimuth to a depth of 40 m, and the second hole was drilled vertical to a depth of 42 m.
The program was aimed at testing the central Phyllis Cobalt Zone below surface to see the depth and size of the gabbroic intrusion and related cobalt -copper-nickel mineralization. All core samples were logged and split by hydraulic core splitter with one half sent to the lab for analysis and the other half stored securely in Nipigon. The core sample lengths were selected depending on geological boundaries and visual sulphide mineralization.
Gurminder Sangha, First Energy Metals CEO, commented:
“We are pleased with the successful completion of the drill program. The mineralization intercepted in drill holes reflect good potential for a cobalt-nickel-copper discovery in the subsurface.”
