Esa’s regional location, with Barrick to the south

First Class Metals was recently awarded an exploration permit for the Esa property. marking an important milestone in its development of the project.

The permit allows for the stripping of overburden in selective areas along the shear zone where soil samples have indicated strong gold and pathfinder element anomalism.

This targeted approach, guided by the strong anomalies detected in the soil samples, will contribute to advancing Esa towards drill-ready status.

Exploration permit secured, enabling rapid advancement of exploration

First Class Metals’ Esa property, of 86 claims, covers ~20.6km², and is located  ¬11km northeast from the Barrick Hemlo gold mine

Mineralisation is often found associated with the contacts or structures associated with the intrusive events, Esa encouragingly sits between the Cedar Lake Pluton and Musher Lake Plutons. Such intrusions are significant drivers of mineral-rich fluids and often found in close association with economic mineralisation.

that runs roughly west - east, transecting the property.

This structure is confirmed by reinterpretation of a historic mag/VTEM survey.

Additionally, there are several N-S and NW-SE structures identified by the geophysics, outside the property along strike these orientations are often associated with mineralization.
