[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2023 /CNW/ - FE Battery Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF) (WKN: A2JC89) (\"FE Battery Metals\" or the \"Company) is pleased to announce the commencement of a 15-line kilometer biogeochemistry survey on the company's newly optioned Trix Lithium Property. The ground survey will consist of collected up to 600 samples of tree bark, needles, and humus. The survey area has been selected based on previous geological investigations of fertile/lithium enriched parent granites in the area and the predicted source location of the spodumene bearing pegmatite boulders. The samples will be sent in batches each week to Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) in Thunder Bay, ON and analysis will be finalized at Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, ON. The samples will be analyzed by Actlab's biogeochemistry 2D-ICPMS method for vegetation ash to report concentrations of 59 elements. The company will use the biogeochemistry data to assess lithium concentrations as well as pathfinder elements to define exploration targets for follow-up prospecting, bedrock trenching, and drill hole targeting. Project Summary The Property has since been expanded to encompass approximately 20,000 hectares located in a prolific lithium exploration area where several junior mining companies including Rock Tech Lithium, which has an established Lithium resource and advanced to a Pre-Feasiblity Study. The Trix Property road is accessible and is located 4km south of Rock Tech Lithium's MNW lithium deposit. Historically, Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) geologists discovered a 10-tonne spodumene pegmatite boulder along with small spodumene-bearing fragments located in a creek on the Trix Lithium Property. Glacial geologists determined the potential source direction and displacement as 2 kilometers from the boulder. Due diligence sampling was undertaken in the claim region in the fall of 2022 and multiple assays returned over 1.0% lithium oxide (Li2O) with a high of 5.48% Li2O. The Company intends to carry out extensive surface sampling and other exploration work to find the source of the high-grade lithium occurrences. The spodumene-bearing pegmatites of the Georgia Lake area were first discovered in 1955. Subsequent to the initial discovery, numerous claims were staked and additional lithium deposits were subsequently located.&nbs...
