Announcement Summary
First Phosphate Corp. (NASDAQ: PHOS) (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQX: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) announced publication of a peer-reviewed study of its Bégin-Lamarche Igneous Phosphate Deposit.
- The study was published in Ore Geology Reviews on ScienceDirect and was authored by scientists from Queen’s University and Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC).
- It characterizes the Mountain, North, and South Zones of the deposit within the 1.14 Ga Lac-Saint-Jean Anorthositic (“LSJA”) Suite.
- The study identifies apatite as the primary phosphatic mineralization and reports geological continuity across the phosphate-bearing zones.
- Testing indicates concentrate levels around ~40% P₂O₅, with the study reporting suitability for purified phosphoric acid (“PPA”) production.
- The study reports low chlorine and other deleterious trace elements, supporting potential high-purity PPA for lithium iron phosphate (“LFP”) battery cathode active material.
- Potential open-pit mining scenarios depend on further engineering and mine planning studies, based on layer geometry, thickness, and near-surface occurrence.
The company said the findings provide a foundation for exploring other igneous phosphate layers throughout Québec anorthosite. Results may apply to other phosphatic anorthosites globally. Steeve Lavoie, P.Geo., reviewed and approved the disclosure as Chief Geologist and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
