First Phosphate (CSE: PHOS) has released further assay results from its ongoing drill program at the Begin-Lamarche project. The program, at 25,000 metres in size, is said to have seen 16,435 metres drilled so far.
Results released this morning come from four separate zones being drill-tested at Begin-Lamarche, which include the Phosphate Mountain, Northern, Northwestern, and the Southern zone. Highlights from the results include:

Among the results, First Phosphate highlighted that the 2.0 metre intersect of 11.22% P2O5 in hole BL-24-48 consisted of massive apatite, while other results from the zone have yielded results of 30%+ apatite. Phosphate Mountain so far has seen 15 holes completed. Drilling at the Northern zone meanwhile has identified four mineralized phosphate layers that range from 50 to 100 metres in thickness within a 500 metre thick mineralized envelope that begins at surface.
Assay results have been returned for just 5,642 metres of drilling to date at the project.
First Phosphate last traded at $0.245 on the CSE.
