Formation Metals Expands Phase 1 Drill Program to 14,000 Metres at its Advanced N2 Gold Project
Highlights:The Company is undertaking a fully funded 30,000 metre drill program at its flagship N2 Gold Project in Quebec, host to a global historic resource of ~871,000 ounces comprised of 18 Mt grading 1.4 g/t Au (~810,000 oz Au) across four zones (A, East, RJ-East, and Central)2,3 and 243 Kt grading 7.82 g/t Au (~61,000 oz Au) across the RJ zone2,4.Phase 1 has been expanded to approximately 14,000 metres based on the results of the fieldwork to-date, which includes the following significant intervals:N2-25-008: 208.8 metres of target mineralization was intercepted beginning at 28.6 metres downhole, with multiple intervals over 40 metres in width including up to 70.0 metres.N2-25-011: 166.8 metres of target mineralization was intercepted beginning at 60.0 metres downhole, with multiple intervals over 20 metres in width including up to 70.6 metres.13 drillholes totalling 3,879 metres have been completed to-date, with mineralization starting within the first 10 metres in 4 drillholes and the first 25 metres within 6 drillholes. In addition to the above, long mineralized intervals were observed in each of the other drillholes, with a further 3 drillholes returning over 100 cumulative metres of target mineralization, and 4 greater than 80 metres.Assays will be released shortly following final compilation and interpretation.The intense quartz-carbonate veining and sulfide mineralization (pyrite/arsenopyrite) in sheared and brecciated zones observed visually is directly comparable to the material that yielded long gold intervals in historical drilling including 245-91-151, which intercepted 1.7 g/t Au over 35.0 metres.The Company has working capital of ~C$12.3M with zero debt.
