[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, April 1, 2021 /CNW/ - First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (\"First Energy\" or the \"Company) is pleased to announce another round of assay results from channel sampling program at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The channel samples intersected 4.5 meters of spodumene pegmatite with 1.04 percent lithium oxide. The Company is also pleased to share the news that its field exploration team has discovered another wide lithium pegmatite zone (the \"Beluga Pegmatite\") with surface exposures mapped to a width of 50-80 metres and an east-west strike length of over 215 metres. Historical exploration work has been documented for this spodumene pegmatite dyke/sill which will be a main target of the Company's ongoing exploration program of prospecting, mapping, trenching and channel sampling. Highlights of Assays (see Table 1 for details) Lithium (Li) values are in the range of 51 ppm (parts per million) to 6,290 ppm. Lithium oxide (Li2O) values are in the range of 0.01 percent (%) to 1.35% Li2O with an intersection of 1.04% Li2O over 4.5 m. Beryllium values are in the range of 36 ppm to 334 ppm, barium is from 6 ppm to 213 ppm, and cesium is from 5.1 ppm to 75.4 ppm. Niobium is in the range of 45.8 ppm to 108.5 ppm, rubidium 19.3 ppm to 3,110 ppm, strontium 19 ppm to 136 ppm, and tantalum 22.7 ppm to 89.2 ppm. The ground exploration work has been continuous since February 2021 and its purpose is to locate and confirm historical lithium pegmatite occurrences on two lithium prospects (Augustus and Canadian Lithium Prospects), to locate historical drill holes on the Property completed in 1950's, and to prepare for the upcoming drilling program planned as soon as a drill contractor is available. The pegmatite outcrops were exposed using an excavator due to heavy cover of snow and some overburden. Several historical drill hole casings were located which will provide useful guidelines for placing future drill holes and mapping lithium pegmatites on surface. The field exploration is continuous, and more channel sampling is being carried out on the exposed outcrops. The weather is expected to warm up in the coming weeks which will help thawing of frozen ground to continue sampling. Gurminder Sangha, CEO of First Energy Metals stated that, \"The Company is excited for the progress made to date, espec...
