FAR RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES $300,000 GRANT AWARDED FROM THE
MANITOBA MINERAL DEVELOPMENT FUND (MMDF)
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 30th 2021. (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R)
(OTC:FRRSF) (www.farresources.com) (“FAR Resources” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that the Company has been approved for a $300,000 grant from
the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund ("MMDF"). The funds will support the 2021
exploration program and advance its 100% owned Zoro lithium and Jean Lake lithium-
gold exploration option properties located in the Snow Lake area of the mining friendly
province of Manitoba.
The funds will advance the ongoing 2021-2022 field exploration program that was most
recently initiated in August, and which resulted in the discovery of new lithium bearing
pegmatites on the Jean Lake property. The Jean Lake Property adjoins FAR's Zoro's
Lithium Property on the southwest and is adjacent to Snow Lake Resources Project
which includes the Sherritt Gordon and Grass River pegmatites and the Thompson
Brothers lithium-bearing pegmatite with a recently announced historic (JORC-compliant)
indicated mineral resource of 9.08 million tonnes @ 1% lithium oxide based on a 0.3%
cut-off.
Ongoing exploration on the Company’s Snow Lake properties will include focused
prospecting, trench mucking, outcrop stripping, surficial geochemical surveys and
drone-assisted geophysical surveys, surficial geochemical and drone-assisted magnetic
and LIDAR surveys. Recent and historical databases will be integrated with and
underpin the planned drone-assisted magnetometer and LIDAR survey on the Jean
Lake property and a 10-hole 1500 metre drill program on the Zoro property.
The MMDF was launched by the Government of Manitoba in August 2020 with the
specific goal of jump-starting mineral and economic development initiatives throughout
the province. The MMDF is administered through the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce
and aims to support new economic development opportunities that capitalize on existing
assets and infrastructure across Manitoba.
John Gammack, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to receive this support
from the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund as we advance our Snow Lake projects
towards discovery. Historic and current base and precious metal mining and developing
battery metal projects have provided employment and economic development
opportunities in the Snow Lake region. With this assistance from the MMDF and the
Government of Manitoba, FAR Resources will contribute to the growth and prosperity
to Snow Lake and nearby communities. The top 10 battery manufacturing plants are
currently in China and as Europe and North America are looking to reduce their reliance
to Asia, they are looking towards a domestic supply and for companies and battery
metal suppliers who can provide critical battery metals and manufacture batteries
locally.”
About FAR
FAR Resources' Winston Gold and Silver Project includes on-going exploration of their
100 percent owned property located in the Black Range of New Mexico USA. Recent
results included exceptional numbers from property-wide confirmatory sampling
completed in late 2020 with grades of up to 66.5 g/t gold and 4619 g/t silver. The
property’s three mines, Ivanhoe, Emporia and Little Granite are known for their historic
production of high-grade gold and silver ores, primarily developed prior to the 1930's
with a brief revival in the 1980's but have seen little modern exploration. Full data tables

FAR Resources also has its 100 percent owned ZORO Lithium Project, in CANADA,
located in the mining-friendly Snow Lake region of Manitoba containing numerous
known lithium deposits. The company has completed five drill programs on the property
leading to the discovery of at least 12 lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes. FAR Resources
also holds a 60% stake in the Hidden Lake Lithium Project in the Northwest Territories
hosting at least 10 lithium bearing spodumene pegmatite dykes with average lithium
concentration of 1.03% Li20 and individual samples grading up to 3.3% Li20.
