First Class Metals PLC - Ontario, Canada-focused exploration company - Finds spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been intersected in every targeted hole drilled at its Zigzag lithium property. Says the identified mineralisation remains open along strike and down dip. Says spodumene-bearing pegmamtite intersected in all nine targeted holes drilled, with over 50 metres of pegmatite intersections recorded. Says multiple mineralised pegmatite zones were intersected in holes targeting 400 metres of the known 800 metres strike. Says pegmatite thickness exceeded five metres thick, down hole, and the potentially multiphase mineralised system remains open along strike and down dip and plunge. Says all holes are being systematically logged and marked up for sampling before cutting and sample collection.

Chief Executive Officer Marc Sale says: ‘The completion of the drilling at Zigzag has consolidated the undertaking to shareholders/investors that FCM would bring for properties to ’drill ready status’ and drill one this season. I am extremely pleased with the (visual) indications of the drill core and the robust intersections that I have seen so far. I look forward with positive anticipation to the first results. We are already planning the next stages of exploration.’
