Forza Lithium Continues Work at its Jeanette Lithium Property

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forza Lithium Corp. (CSE: FZ) (“Forza” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the company has completed its latest fieldwork program on its Jeannette Lithium Property (“the Property”) for the 2023 season. The Property is located approximately 105 km east of the town of Red Lake, Ontario, and 80 km northeast of Ear Falls, Ontario. The 9-day field program was carried out by a crew of three in early August by mobilizing a boat to provide access to the northern portion of the property as well as along logging roads which traverse the Property.

During the 2022 field program 113 grab and channel samples were collected returning values up to 244 ppm Li, which was obtained from a sample of biotite gneiss with coarse feldspar-quartz dykelets. 45 grab samples were collected during the June and July field programs, which returned values up to 290ppm Li and 688ppm Rb. The value of 290 ppm Li was obtained from biotite gneiss proximal to the sample which had earlier returned 244 ppm Li. The value of 688 ppm Rb was obtained from pegmatite on the south shore of Tarpley Lake in the northeastern part of the Property.

An additional 44 grab samples were collected during the August 2023 program. These returned up to 309 ppm Li and up to 497 ppm Rb. The value of 309 ppm Li was obtained from biotite gneiss proximal to samples which had earlier returned 244 and 290 ppm Li. The value of 497 ppm Rb was obtained from pegmatite approximately 2 km south of Tarpley Lake in the eastern part of the Property. (See Figures 2 & 3).

Frederick W. Breaks, Ph.D., P.Geo., was asked after the July 2023 program to review sample results to date and provide a summary of his findings. Mr. Breaks carried out a review of 157 samples collected on the Jeanette Property from 2022 – July 2023.

Contained in the Executive Summary Mr. Breaks wrote: “Rubidium has 14% of assays above 300 ppm which partly overlaps the highly evolved Separation Rapids pluton (SRP). Analyses that lie between 250 and 300 ppm Rb comprise 19% of the group. The maximum Rb of 688 ppm indicates a strongly evolved composition that compares with SRP. Cesium has a fairly restricted distribution with a mean of 15 ppm and a maximum of 23.7 ppm. Values that exceed 15 ppm comprise 24% of the grouping of pegmatite and related granite and granodiorite”.
