(CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF) (WKN: A2JC89) (\"First Energy\" or the \"Company) is pleased to announce results of drill hole LC21-12 at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The drill hole intersected a 10-meter-wide zone with 1.11 percent (%) lithium oxide (Li2O) at 110 metres (m) depth. There are anomalous values of other rare metals as well including average values of niobium (Nb) 99.78 parts per million (ppm), rubidium (Rb) 1,609.7 ppm, tantalum (Ta) 65.16 ppm, beryllium (Be) 200.7 ppm, cesium (Cs) 60.55 ppm. Average value of iron (Fe) is 0.494% (see Table 1 for details). Drill hole LC21-12 is the first drill hole at Augustus Lithium Prospect on the Property. It was drilled at location: 287126E, 5367662N (NAD 1983 UTM Zone 18N), Azimuth 40.5 degrees, Dip 44.5 degrees with a total drilled depth of 361m. All intersections reported are based on drilled width and have not been converted to the true width. Gurminder Sangha, CEO of First Energy Metals stated that, \"The first drill hole at Augustus Prospect exceeded our expectations in terms of width of the lithium zone which was reported over six metres in historical drill hole near this location. We are very excited about having a wide lithium pegmatite near surface.\" The drill program is based on the historical exploration data and the Company's surface trenching and sampling program which is currently underway. Several historical drill hole collars were also located on the Property which helped in location and orientation of drill holes for the current program. The Drill program commenced on April 5th at the Property by Forage Hebert Inc. Drilling of Amos, Quebec who is contracted for the drill program. A B-20 drill rig is deployed for this work which has a capacity to drill up to 1,000-meter-deep hole. A core shack has been built near the Property for drill core logging, sample preparation and storage. To date a total of 14 drill holes with a cumulative core drilling of 2,004 m has been completed on the Property. The drill core is being logged and sampled at the core shack using a rock saw. For quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC), field duplicates and blanks are being inserted at an industry standard interval. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivere...
