[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, March 13, 2023 /CNW/ - FE Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF) (WKN: A2JC89) (\"FE Battery Metals\" or the \"Company) is pleased to announce results of Drill Holes LC23-43 and LC23-44 from the 2023 exploratory drill program at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The drill hole LC23-44 intersected 6.9-metre-wide pegmatite at 1.07 percent lithium oxide (Li2O) at 98.5 m drilled depth, and LC23-43 intersected multiple lithium pegmatites with varying widths and grades (see Tables 1 and 2 for details). Highlights The main lithium pegmatite zone in Hole LC23-44 is 6.9 m wide with average 4,977.50 parts per million (ppm) lithium (Li) or 1.07% Li2O at 98.5 m drilled depth. In addition, there are anomalous values of other rare metals in this section with an average of 185.13 parts per million beryllium (Be), 222.53 ppm cesium (Cs), 46.50 ppm niobium (Nb), 1,011.43 ppm rubidium (Rb) and 90.05 ppm tantalum (Ta). Drill Hole LC23-43 intersected four main lithium pegmatites as follows (Table 2): Pegmatite 1 with average 1,950.60 ppm Li or 0.42% Li2O over 5 meters at 152 m drilled depth. Pegmatite 2 with average 1,870.71 ppm Li or 0.40% Li2O over 6 meters at 169 m drilled depth. Pegmatite 3 with average 665.50 ppm Li or 0.14% Li2O over 3 meters at 196 m drilled depth. Pegmatite 4 with average 536 ppm Li or 0.12% Li2O over 3 meters at 249 m drilled depth. All pegmatites have anomalous values of other rare metals. Drill hole LC23-43 was drilled at location 5367916 N, 287279E, UTM NAD 1983 Zone 18N, at azimuth 219.7 degrees and dip -47.3 with a drilled depth of 252 m. The drill hole was placed at the main Augustus zone. Drill hole LC23-44 was drilled at location 5367892N, 287156E, UTM NAD 1983 Zone 18N, at azimuth 227.2 degrees and dip -56.7 with a drilled depth of 196 m. The drill hole was placed at the main Augustus zone. The drill core is logged and sampled at the core shack using a rock saw. For quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC), field duplicates, standards and blanks are being inserted at industry standard intervals. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories (\"ACTLABS\"), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratory code Ultratrace 7 and sodium peroxide fusion (Na2O2) as summarized below.
