Foremost Clean Energy Unveils Historic Core Sampling Results at Jean Lake Property
Foremost Clean Energy Ltd., trading on NASDAQ as FMST and CSE as FAT, has released the outcomes of its targeted historic core resampling initiative at the fully owned Jean Lake Gold-Lithium Property. Situated near Snow Lake in Manitoba, this program followed a diamond drill campaign in December 2025 and focused on re-examining previously unsampled intervals from select 2023 drillholes along the Valkyrie and Midas Gold Trends.
Key Highlights from the Sampling Program
The resampling effort aimed to address gaps in mineralized sections, enhance continuity interpretation between known intercepts, and refine the understanding of gold distribution within the broader structural corridor. Notable results include:
- FM23-25: 1.10 grams per tonne of gold over 8.0 metres from 22.0 to 30.0 metres, with a high-grade inclusion of 6.9 g/t Au over 0.5 metres.
- FM23-08: 0.64 g/t Au over 10 metres from 106.5 to 116.9 metres.
These findings demonstrate that mineralization extends beyond earlier reported intercepts, revealing additional mineralized sections that were previously unassayed.
Executive Commentary and Strategic Implications
Jason Barnard, President of Foremost, emphasized the program's design to improve the representation of gold distribution in historical drill core. He stated, "Systematic sampling of previously unassayed intervals has identified additional mineralized sections and provides a more complete representation of gold distribution within the Valkyrie structural corridor. These results support refinement of the geological interpretation and will inform step-out and infill drill targeting in the next phase of exploration at Jean Lake."
The integrated results combine both previously reported gold intercepts from the 2023 drill program and new assay data from the 2025 gap-fill resampling. This comprehensive approach offers a fuller picture of gold distribution, aiding in the ongoing refinement of structural and geological models along the Valkyrie Gold Trend.
Detailed Summary of Significant Intercepts
The table below summarizes key gold intercepts from the 2023 drilling and 2025 resampling programs, highlighting intervals that were previously unassayed or incorporated newly assayed gaps:
- FM23-04A: Showed 0.53 g/t Au over 1.0 metre from a gap-fill resample and 11.30 g/t Au over 2.7 metres from original assays.
- FM23-05: Included multiple intercepts ranging from 0.30 to 3.05 g/t Au, with a gap-fill resample adding 0.66 g/t Au over 1.5 metres.
- FM23-08: Featured a recalculated weighted average of 7.85 g/t Au over 7.3 metres and a gap-fill resample of 0.64 g/t Au over 10.4 metres.
- FM23-25: Revealed several intervals with gold values up to 6.90 g/t Au, incorporating newly assayed gaps to expand mineralization understanding.
This data underscores the program's success in enhancing the geological model and will guide future exploration efforts at the Jean Lake Property, positioning Foremost Clean Energy for continued advancements in mineral resource assessment.
