Foremost Clean Energy Reports Continued Drilling Success at its Jean Lake Project with Multiple Shallow Gold Intercepts Including High-Grade interval of 34.2 g/t over 0.8m Within 9.0 g/t over 3.5m
Executive Summary
- Foremost Clean Energy reported multiple high‑grade gold intercepts from drill holes JL25‑003 and JL25‑004, confirming a shallow, near‑surface mineralized system along the Valkyrie Trend.
- The most notable assay is 34.2 g/t Au over 0.8 m (included within 9.0 g/t Au over 3.5 m) from hole JL25‑003 at 127.8 m depth, highlighting the project's potential for economically viable near‑surface mining.
- All significant intercepts occur within 100 m of surface, supporting continued step‑out drilling and upcoming testing of lithium‑bearing pegmatite targets.
Key Details
- Hole JL25‑003
- 34.2 g/t Au over 0.8 m (included in 9.0 g/t Au over 3.5 m) – start depth 127.8 m.
- 9.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m (included in 2.7 g/t Au over 2.6 m) – start depth 89.1 m.
-
6.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m (included in 1.81 g/t Au over 7.0 m) – start depth 104.5 m.
-
Hole JL25‑004
- 6.6 g/t Au over 0.7 m (included in 2.7 g/t Au over 1.6 m) – start depth 101.7 m.
- 5.4 g/t Au over 0.5 m (included in 3.2 g/t Au over 1.5 m) – start depth 90.0 m.
-
3.3 g/t Au over 0.5 m (included in 1.3 g/t Au over 1.5 m) – start depth 87.0 m.
-
Historical Context
-
Prior intercepts: FM23‑08 (2023) – 102 g/t Au over 0.48 m within 7.50 g/t Au over 7.66 m; JL25‑001/002 (Nov 10 2025) – up to 82 g/t Au over 0.7 m.
-
All significant intercepts are <100 m depth, indicating a near‑surface gold system favorable for low‑cost extraction.
-
Next Steps: Continue step‑out drilling along the Valkyrie Trend and commence testing of lithium‑bearing pegmatite targets; assay results from additional holes pending.
-
QA/QC: Core sampled at 0.5–1.5 m intervals, analyzed by SGS Canada using fire‑assay with atomic absorption finish; blanks, standards, and duplicates inserted per industry best practices.
Notable Quotes
“These latest results highlighted by 34.2 g/t over 0.8 m within 9.0 g/t over 3.5 m underscore the strength of the Jean Lake project… Discovering this calibre of gold mineralization less than 100 m from surface is highly advantageous for ongoing exploration and significantly enhances our confidence in exploring this gold‑mineralized system.” – Jason Barnard, President & CEO
