What is the average width and grade of phosphate in the Northwestern Zone?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Northwestern Zone exhibits an average width of 40 meters with phosphate grades ranging from 7% to 9% P2O5.

Recent drilling results from First Phosphate Corp.'s Bégin-Lamarche project in Quebec have provided specific data on the Northwestern Zone. Drill hole BL-24-91 intersected 7.63% P2O5 over a length of 45.0 meters, starting at a depth of 84.0 meters. Additionally, drill hole BL-24-99 yielded an intersection of 7.25% P2O5 over 30.5 meters, commencing at a depth of 92.0 meters.
Drill Hole Intersections in the Northwestern Zone

The drilling program specifically targeted and delineated mineralization within the Northwestern Zone. Hole BL-24-91 recorded a significant intersection of 45.0 meters grading 7.63% P2O5. Another key intersection was found in drill hole BL-24-99, which returned 30.5 meters assaying 7.25% P2O5.
Estimated Zone Characteristics

Based on these and other drill results, the Northwestern Zone is characterized by an average width of approximately 40 meters. The grades of phosphate, measured as P2O5, within this zone are consistently found to be between 7% and 9%.
Ongoing Exploration and Resource Estimation

These results are part of a broader 25,929-meter drill program at the Bégin-Lamarche project. First Phosphate is currently preparing a 43-101 resource estimate and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the project, with results anticipated by the end of fiscal Q4 2024. The company has intersected significant phosphate layers across a 3 km magnetic trend at the project.
