Description
First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce new analytical results from the company’s infill drill program completed in March at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Québec, highlighting continued growth and consistency across the project.
The drilling campaign, which focused on the Mountain, North, and South zones, confirmed extensive and continuous phosphate mineralization throughout the existing horizon defined in the initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). In addition, the program identified two new phosphate intercepts, further demonstrating the project’s expansion potential.
Passalacqua explained that both the previously known mineralized zones and the newly discovered intercepts have now been defined laterally and at depth, providing greater geological confidence and continuity across the deposit. These results are now being incorporated into an updated geological model, which is expected to be completed next month and will form the basis for a revised resource estimate.
At the Mountain Zone, drilling returned several strong intervals exceeding 50 metres in length with grades above 10% P₂O₅, underscoring the scale and quality of the mineralization. The company also reported the presence of multiple massive apatite veins, with some reaching up to 2 metres in thickness, further supporting the project’s potential as a significant phosphate resource.
All samples from the program have been submitted for preparation and analysis using methods specifically suited for phosphate mineralization, ensuring accurate and reliable results as the company advances its understanding of the deposit.
With consistent high-grade results, expanded mineralized zones, and an updated resource model on the horizon, First Phosphate is continuing to build momentum at Bégin-Lamarche as it advances toward its next phase of development.
