VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FAR Resources (CNSX:FAT.CN) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“FAR Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce gold assay results from sampling undertaken on its recently acquired Jean Lake property, located in the historic Snow Lake mining district in Manitoba.
A short prospecting program of confirmatory rock chip sampling on the eastern portion of the Jean Lake property has returned assay results of up to 20.9 g/t gold (Table 1). Sample collection targeted historic gold occurrences from published and non-published reports. Sample locations and results are shown on a map on the Company’s website.
Of fifteen rock chip samples collected all but one exceed 1 g/t gold. Grab samples representative of mineralization exposed in outcrop and in pits were collected from pervasively silicified wallrock containing brecciated and mineralized quartz veins. The deformation observed in the rocks sampled is attributed to faults cutting the eastern portion of the Rex Lake Pluton which is bounded on the east by the crustal scale Grass River Fault.
The gold mineralization is associated with disseminated and near-solid fracture fillings consisting of fine grained to blocky arsenopyrite with lesser pyrite and chalcopyrite.
John Gammack, President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “This confirmation of significant gold potential on the Jean Lake property in addition to the recently documented lithium potential (refer news release dated September 28, 2021) gives added impetus to our planned drone-supported remote sensing and geophysical survey work over the property later this winter. This work is partly funded by a grant from the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund (MMDF) which will allow us to accelerate the planned work. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Dr’s Mark Fedikow Ph.D. P.Geo and Lindsay Bottomer Ph.D. P.Geo for their professional exemplary work creating shareholder value.”

About FAR
FAR Resources’ Winston Gold and Silver Project includes on-going exploration of their 100 percent owned property located in the Black Range of New Mexico USA. Recent results included exceptional numbers from property-wide confirmatory sampling completed in late 2020 with grades of up to 66.5 g/t gold and 4619 g/t silver. The property’s three mines, Ivanhoe, Emporia and Little Granite are known for their historic production of high-grade gold and silver ores, primarily developed prior to the 1930’s with a brief revival in the 1980’s but have seen little modern exploration.
