[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 19, 2023) - Free Battery Metal Limited (CSE: FREE) (formerly, Titus Energy Corp.) (\"FREE\" or the \"Company\"), following promising results from its summer field exploration program at the Mound Lake Property in northwestern Ontario, is pleased to announce the commencement of its fall work program on September 12, 2023. Central to this program is the investigation of Anomaly 107226, where an exceptional Tantalum value of 261ppm was uncovered from a sample on the northeast side of Mound Lake. It's worth noting that any Tantalum value exceeding 65ppm is considered significant, potentially indicating the presence of a pegmatite capable of hosting economically valuable lithium-cesium-tantalum mineralization1. The Company intends to conduct additional sampling at this site and its immediate vicinity. In addition to the 48-Element ICP analyses, our team will collect samples for comprehensive whole rock analysis, mineralogical, and petrological studies. Furthermore, we plan to expand our exploration efforts by gathering grab samples from previously unexplored regions within the property, including additional samples from the Mound Lake Pluton itself. Notably, known occurrences of lithium-bearing pegmatites within the parent granite, such as the MNW Prospect Hanson Lake - Mineral Deposit Inventory Record MDI52H01NE00005 NB Rock Teck Drilled in 2007 247 metres within the MNW Pluton, indicating the presence of rare metal bearing dikes within the parental granite in the region is evidence that it happened2. To date, the Company has collected an additional 30 samples, further fueling our enthusiasm for this project. Our diligent field team has already observed abundant plumose-textured muscovite and documented a new beryl occurrence, both of which are positive indicators of the potential presence of rare-metal bearing pegmatites.3 The Company's commitment to exploration was evident in the summer program, where a dedicated 4-person crew from Planet X Exploration Services conducted comprehensive prospecting and grab sampling across the property from June 16 to July 3, 2023. Navigating the property via a network of roads and abandoned logging roads accessible through all-terrain vehicles, the team examined prospective outcrops and meticulously collected a total of 213 grab samples.
