Forza Lithium Announces Commencement of Work at its Jeanette Lithium Property

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forza Lithium Corp. (CSE: FZ) (“Forza” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of June and July 2023 field programs on its Jeannette Lithium Property (“the Property”), with plans for an August prospecting program. The Property is located approximately 105 km east of the town of Red Lake, Ontario, and 80 km northeast of Ear Falls, Ontario. (Figure 1). A crew of two carried out a 7-day field program in June along logging roads which traverse the Property, collecting 16 grab samples. A fly camp was subsequently set up in July on Tarpley Lake for a period of 11 days, during which 29 further grab samples were collected by the crew. An additional prospecting program is planned north of St. Roy Lake in the coming days (Figure 2).

Assays from both the June and July programs have now been received. June sampling returned up to 290 ppm Li from biotite gneiss in the vicinity of 2022 sampling which had returned up to 244 ppm Li in the central part of the Property. This is the highest Li result to-date on the Property. July sampling on the south side of Tarpley Lake returned up to 259 ppm Li from biotite schist and up to 688 ppm Rb from pegmatite, corresponding to the second-highest Li result to-date and the highest Rb result to-date on the Property. See Figure 2 for 2022-2023 lithium results.

During the 2022 field program, 113 grab and channel samples were collected. The value of 244 ppm Li was obtained from a sample of biotite gneiss with coarse feldspar-quartz dykelets.

The following description of the regional geology is adapted from the NI 43-101 Independent Technical Report on the Jeannette Lithium Property (Camier 2022):

The Property is located in the east-central portion of the Allison Lake Batholith within the Uchi Subprovince of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The Uchi Subprovince is an east-trending granite-greenstone domain between 50 and 70 kilometers in width, extending approximately 700 kilometers from Lake Winnipeg in the west to the James Bay Lowlands.
