[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, June 15, 2021 /CNW/ - First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (\"First Energy\" or the \"Company) is pleased to announce assay more results from the channel sampling program at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The north extension of the \"Channel 21-2E\" samples at the Beluga Pegmatite of the Canadian Lithium Prospect cut an 8-meter-wide section with an average of 1.44% lithium oxide (Li2O). Complete results for a total of 15 meters channel cut on the north end of the Channel 21-2E are presented in Table 1 below. The ground exploration work has been continuous since February 2021 and its purpose is to locate and confirm historical lithium pegmatite occurrences on various historical lithium prospects, to locate historical drill holes on the Property completed in 1950's, and to support the ongoing drill program. The pegmatite outcrops are exposed using an excavator. The field exploration is continuous, and more channel sampling is being carried out on the exposed outcrops. The surface channel sampling will also help in resource estimation to tie up potential lithium pegmatite zones intercepted in drill holes to the surface. Each channel sample from this work represents one meter long, 5 cm wide and 3-5 cm deep cut in bedrock. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories (\"ACTLABS\"), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratories code Ultratrace 7 as summarized below. ACTLABS is an independent commercial, accredited ISO Certified Laboratory. Code Ultratrace 7 – Peroxide Fusion – ICP and ICP/MS Samples are fused with sodium peroxide in a Zirconium crucible. The fused sample is acidified with concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids. The resulting solutions are diluted and then measured by ICP-OES and ICP-MS. All metals are solubilized. ICP-MS Fused samples are diluted and analyzed by Agilent 7900 ICP-MS. Calibration is performed using five synthetic calibration standards. A set of (10-20) fused certified reference material is run with every batch of samples for calibration and quality control. Fused duplicates are run every 10 samples. ICP-OES Samples are analyzed with a minimum of 10 certified reference materials for the required analytes, all prepared by sodium peroxide fusion. Every 10th sample i...
