First Lithium Minerals Stakes New Mining Claims at Lidstone Project
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 27, 2024) - First Lithium Minerals Corp. (CSE: FLM) (OTC Pink: FLMCF) (FSE: X28) ("First Lithium Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has directly staked additional 547 mining claims at its existing 100%-owned Lidstone exploration project (the "Lidstone") located in the Thunder Bay Mining Division of northwestern Ontario. The new mining claims represent a significant increase and expand the total claims area by 11,105 hectares to a total of 12,830 hectares.
安大略省多倫多--（Newsfile Corp.，2024 年 3 月 27 日）-第一鋰礦業公司 （CSE：FLM）（場外交易鏈接：FLMCF）（FSE：X28） (”第一批鋰礦物“或者”公司“）很高興地宣佈，它已直接向其現有的100％所有權的Lidstone勘探項目（”Lidstone“) 位於安大略省西北部的桑德貝礦業部。新的採礦索賠顯著增加，使索賠總面積擴大了11,105公頃，總面積達到12,830公頃。
In January 2024, the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) issued its 2023-2024 Recommendations for Exploration report based on the Resident Geologist Program (RGP) using the existing OGS geological and mineral exploration data along with field exploration activities, that highlighted lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT)-type pegmatite potential in the Witchwood and Morden Lake Areas, Eastern English River Subprovince, which are located in the immediate area of the Company's Lidstone project (Reference: "LCT-Type Pegmatite Potential in the Witchwood and Morden Lake Areas, Eastern English River Subprovince, Ontario Geological Survey Resident Geologist Program, Recommendations for Exploration 2023-2024" report).
2024年1月，安大略省地質調查局（OGS）發佈了其基於駐地地質學家計劃（RGP）的2023-2024年勘探建議報告，該報告使用了現有的OGS地質和礦產勘探數據以及實地勘探活動，重點介紹了位於公司附近地區的東英吉利河分省威奇伍德和莫登湖地區的鋰銫-鉭（LCT）型偉晶岩潛力的 Lidstone 項目 (參考：“安大略省東英吉利河分省威奇伍德和莫登湖地區的LCT型偉晶岩潛力，安大略省地質調查局常駐地質學家計劃，2023-2024年勘探建議” 報告）。
The exploration recommendation in the report was based on field work and sampling that was conducted by OGS during the 2023 field season and historical exploration and geological research in the area. Areas considered for exploration included the Witchwood and Morden Lake areas, which have many regional features favourable for rare-element pegmatites, including the presence of metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks in proximity to peraluminous granite plutons located near the subprovince boundary. Pegmatites samples collected were coarse muscovite with possible apatite and were encountered at surface (Figure 1).
報告中的勘探建議基於OGS在2023年野外季節進行的實地考察和採樣以及該地區的歷史勘探和地質研究。考慮勘探的區域包括威奇伍德和莫登湖地區，這些地區有許多有利於稀有元素偉晶岩的區域特徵，包括位於省以下邊界附近的過鋁花崗岩巖體附近存在變沉積岩和變火山岩。採集的偉晶岩樣本是粗白雲母，可能含有磷灰石，是在地表遇到的（圖 1）。

The Lidstone project area is in the Thunder Bay Mining Division of northwestern Ontario, approximately 120 km northeast of the town of Armstrong, Ontario, has good infrastructure for exploration activities with many forestry roads providing easy access. The newly acquired mining claims are in Witchwood and Morden Lake areas and adjacent to the existing Lidstone mining claims (Figure 2).
Lidstone項目區位於安大略省西北部的桑德貝礦業部，位於安大略省阿姆斯特朗鎮東北約120公里處，擁有良好的勘探活動基礎設施，許多林業道路都很便利。新收購的採礦權位於威奇伍德和莫登湖地區，毗鄰現有的利德斯通採礦索賠（圖2）。

The Lidstone mining claims group lies near the margins of the English River Subprovince of the Superior Province and remains primarily unexplored. The historical exploration work in the area indicated the presence of mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks hosting anomalous Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization (Reference: MDI000000000142, Primary commodity: Nickel, Copper, Secondary commodity: Cobalt, Platinum Metals, Sim Lake Occurrence, Ontario Geological Survey). The area also exhibited anomalous lake geochemistry lithium (Li) grade clusters.
利德斯通採礦索賠小組位於蘇必利爾省英吉利河分省的邊緣附近，主要仍未開發。該地區的歷史勘探工作表明，存在鎂鐵質-超鎂鐵質侵入性岩石，這些岩石具有異常的Ni-Cu-PGE礦化作用（參考：MDI000000000142，主要商品：鎳、銅，次要商品：鈷、鉑金屬、Sim Lake 礦牀，安大略省地質調查局）。該地區還展示了異常的湖泊地球化學鋰（Li）級星團。
Rob Saltsman, CEO and Director of First Lithium Minerals, commented: "While we have long recognized the Lidstone project area as an attractive exploration target for lithium and potentially copper, the recent Ontario Geological Survey report on recommendations for exploration in the Lidstone project area solidified our belief and made our project even more exciting. With the staking of new claims, we further strengthen First Lithium Minerals' presence in northwestern Ontario and are strategically positioned now with the substantial land package to explore the significant potential of this region."
First Lithium Minerals首席執行官兼董事羅布·索爾茨曼評論說： “儘管我們早就認識到Lidstone項目區是鋰和潛在銅的有吸引力的勘探目標，但安大略省地質調查局最近關於Lidstone項目區勘探建議的報告鞏固了我們的信念，使我們的項目更加令人興奮。隨着新索賠的提出，我們進一步加強了First Lithium Minerals在安大略省西北部的影響力，現在有了大量的土地一攬子戰略定位，可以探索該地區的巨大潛力。”
The Company is planning to conduct reconnaissance exploration, geologic mapping, including geophysical and geochemical surveys at the Lidstone project during the 2024 field season.
該公司計劃在2024年實地考察季節對Lidstone項目進行偵察勘探、地質測繪，包括地球物理和地球化學調查。
