First Phosphate Reports Highest Phosphate Assays to Date and Provides Exploration Update on the Bégin-Lamarche Project in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec
These results follow the previously announced initial assay results from the discovery area as communicated in the press release dated September 14, 2022: https://firstphosphate.com/begin-lamarche-sept14-2022.
Bégin-Lamarche Project Results
Grab sampling in the initial discovery area (Sector 1) assayed up 18.53% P2O5 and 11.73% TiO2. In other areas of Sector 1, numerous samples returned assays over 5% P2O5. In Sector 8 of the project, samples returned 19.41% P2O5 and 8.91% TiO2. The analysis of 43 trace elements, including U, Th, REE, As and Cd, indicates very low concentrations of potentially deleterious elements.
“Begin-Lamarche shows promise in that it could become a second important zone of phosphate exploration for the Company,” explained First Phosphate President, Peter Kent. “Igneous anorthosite comprises only about 1% of total global phosphate reserves. These deposits have the potential to be highly desirable for the production of LFP battery material because they are devoid of high concentrations of deleterious elements as shown in these encouraging assay results at Bégin-Lamarche.”

Additional Reconnaissance Conducted at Bégin-Lamarche
During the fall of 2022, Laurentia Exploration Inc. conducted a geological reconnaissance and sampling program on behalf of First Phosphate at the Bégin-Lamarche project. The findings were as follows:
- At the northern tip of Sector 1, a new high-grade phosphate discovery was made immediately to the north of the initial discovery. A thick layer of nelsonite (phosphate-bearing rock), potentially up to 130m in thickness, revealed between 7.51% and 14.16% P2O5 and between 2.09% and 18.14% TiO2. Initial analyses were conducted using a portable handheld XRF analyzer.
- A new phosphate mineralized area (Sector 3) was also discovered approximatively 4km south and on strike with the initial discovery. Field investigation showed that the nelsonite ranges from 30m to 60m in thickness.
- Airborne magnetic survey interpretation seems to demonstrate that the nelsonite found in Sectors 1, 2 and 3 could be part of the same nelsonite layer providing a potential strike length of 8km and a thickness of up to 130 m for the high grade phosphate-bearing horizon.
- Lastly, in the Larouche sector (Sector 8), five surface samples returned between 11.89% and 15.16% P2O5. Analyses were conducted using a portable handheld XRF analyzer.
- A total of 140 rock samples have been gathered from this enhanced reconnaissance exploration and have been send to the laboratory for analysis.

Initial Investigations on Select Bluesky Properties
During the summer of 2022, Magnor Exploration Inc. conducted a geological reconnaissance and grab sampling program for First Phosphate at some of the Bluesky Properties. The findings were as follows:
- The Antoine Property returned high grade phosphate-bearing nelsonite with associated titanium dioxide up to 14.82% P2O5 and 5.84% TiO2. Other samples on the property did not return significant phosphate.
- On the large Fleury Property, oxide-apatite gabbronorite (OAGN) was recognized over kilometric strike lengths and the best assays returned 5% to 7% P2O5 with up to 8.7% TiO2.
- The Mirepoix-Périgny Property, located west of the Flagship Lac à l’Orignal deposit, returned phosphate values ranging from 5.78% to 7.22% P2O5 with up to 9.5% TiO2.

About First Phosphate Corp.
Royal Road Provides Update on Strategy and Exploration Plans for 2023
Over the last six months Royal Road has engaged in an exercise of assessing global political trends and observing policy development in its host countries to evaluate potential impacts on the mining sector and on its current project portfolio. The Company perceives broad global trends, reinforced by policy makers at a national level that require a proactive response.
Royal Road will adapt its general strategy such that for any jurisdiction it will rigorously and efficiently rationalize exploration portfolios down to single assets of world class copper and gold potential. The Company will focus on these assets, suspend, vend, or joint venture its remaining portfolio and then advance and repeat in different, prospective and supportive jurisdictions. The Company’s aim is to own or part-own several world class copper and gold assets spread across different jurisdictions and with most effort applied to those jurisdictions which are operable, financeable and provide evidence of long-term support to the mining sector.
The Company’s immediate focus is its Santo Domingo porphyry copper and gold project in San Juan province, Argentina, an established and supportive mining jurisdiction (see Press Release; November 29, 2022). The Santo Domingo project is considered technically drill-ready, pending necessary regulatory permissions.
In relation to the Company’s current property portfolio in Nicaragua and Colombia, Royal Road has elected to focus on the Caribe gold project and the Guintär-Niverengo-Margaritas (“GNM” and neighboring El Aleman) copper and gold projects respectively.
The Caribe project forms a part of the Company’s Strategic-Alliance Agreement (“the Agreement” see press release; September 6, 2017) with Hemco Mineros Nicaragua (“Hemco” a subsidiary of Mineros S.A., TSX:MSA) and is located in northeastern Nicaragua. On October 26, 2022, the Caribe project was designated a project area (“DPA“). Under terms of the Agreement, the Rights applicable to a DPA shall as soon as practicable be assigned and transferred to a newly incorporated company to be owned equally between the Parties. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Agreement, the Parties, at any time, may mutually agree to determine the appropriate structure and timing for the transfer of interests in a DPA. Except for Caribe and its contiguous license application area, Royal Road intends to relinquish its interest in all other Hemco Licenses which are subject to the Agreement.
The GNM project is located approximately 50 Km west of Medellin in Antioquia Department, Colombia. The project was acquired through the Company’s purchase of Northern Colombia Holdings Limited, an affiliate of AngloGold Ashanti Limited (see Press Release May 31, 2019). The GNM project is a 50-50 exploration joint venture pursuant to a strategic alliance agreement dated March 2, 2020 between the Company and Mineros S.A. (“Mineros” TSX:MSA; see Press Release March 3, 2020). Royal Road is operator of the strategic alliance. Mineros and Royal Road have agreed to suspend activities at GNM until such point as the Colombian government has clarified its policies on mining and completed its proposed redraft of the current mining code. The remainder of Royal Road’s property portfolio in Colombia is either at the application stage or, suspended under force majeure due to civil unrest.
KEY PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS; NICARAGUA AND COLOMBIA
Caribe
Royal Road’s exploration team discovered the Caribe project during reconnaissance exploration in February of 2018. Outcrop at Caribe is concealed under soil and saprolite cover and there is no previous record of mining or mineralization in the area. In 2019, Royal Road and Hemco completed an initial 4-hole, exploratory drilling program at Caribe which returned promising results for gold. Follow-up diamond drilling over the last three years has returned encouraging results, including:
- CB-DDH-025, 207.5 meters at 1.1 grams per tonne gold
- CB-DDH-050, 172 meters at 1.4 grams per tonne gold
- CB-DDH-051, 109 meters at 1.0 grams per tonne gold
- CB-DDH-016, 100.5 meters at 1.0 gram per tonne gold
- CB-DDH-017, 90 meters at 1.0 gram per tonne gold
- CB-DDH-015, 63 meters at 1.0 gram per tonne gold
(Not true width and the company does not have sufficient information to make a determination of the true widths of the drill hole intersections; see Press Releases November 10, 2020, February 11, 2021, March 17, 2021, September 1, 2021 and December 6, 2022)
Gold at Caribe is hosted in a northeast dipping volcanic breccia body and is associated with carbonate-sericite alteration and later-stage, pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralized hydrothermal breccia bodies. Molybdenum can reach significant concentrations over short intervals, for example CB-DDH-050 intersected 18 meters at 2.5 grams per tonne gold and 0.2% Molybdenum (see Press Release; December 6, 2022).
Grid-based scout reverse-circulation drilling at Caribe has returned positive results, indicating that the gold mineralized system extends over approximately 1.3 kilometers strike length and remains open towards the northeast and southwest (see Press Release November 14, 2022).
GNM
The GNM project area comprises the two contiguous Guintär and Niverengo concession contracts and the neighboring Margaritas concession contract. The titles were acquired through the Company’s purchase of Northern Colombia Holdings Limited, an affiliate of AngloGold Ashanti Limited (see Press Release May 31, 2019).
AngloGold-Ashanti commenced work on the project area in 2015 and completed two scout drilling campaigns. At Guintär, intersections of skarn and hornfels hosted mineralization were generally thin and low-grade with best results being GUI-DD-009, 28 meters at 0.9 grams per tonne and GUI-DD-006, 12 meters at 1.8 grams per tonne gold. Drilling at Niverengo was focused on skarn-style mineralization and intersected best results of NIV-DD-004; 10m @ 1.6 grams per tonne and 88m @ 0.9 grams per tonne gold. Royal Road completed a scout drilling program on the Niverengo title which returned similar low-grade gold over thin intervals from skarn-style mineralization.
Royal Road commenced drilling at Guintär-Niverengo in July of 2021. With the aim being to test for an underlying intrusive or porphyry-related source to the skarn-hosted gold mineralization which had been intersected in previous drilling and is evident in surface geochemical sampling over an area of more than 10 square kilometers.
Drilling intersected porphyry copper-gold-silver mineralization. Results to-date have been encouraging and include:
- GUI-DD-012, 303.7 meters at 1.0 grams per tonne gold equivalent[1] (including 62.0 meters at 2.1 grams per tonne gold, 12.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.62% copper)
- GUI-DD-013, 126.0 meters at 1.4 grams per tonne gold equivalent (including 55.0 meters at 1.5 grams per tonne gold. 10.8 grams per tonne silver and 0.60% copper)
- GUI-DD-020, 118.0 meters at 1.0 grams per tonne gold equivalent
- GUI-DD-021, 181.0 meters at 1.1 grams per tonne gold equivalent (including 43.0 meters at 2.4 grams per tonne gold, 8.0 grams per tonne silver and 0.40% copper)
(Not true width and the company does not have sufficient information to make a determination of the true widths of the drill hole intersections; see Press Releases December 14, 2021, April 28, 2022)
In December of 2021, the Company entered into option agreements with neighboring and immediately contiguous property holders (see Press Release December 14, 2021) including the El Aleman Mining title area and one title application area. Drilling conducted on the El Aleman title area has returned promising results including ALM-DD-001, 80.5 meters at 1 gram per tonne gold, including 18 meters at 3 grams per tonne gold.
“The last few months have seen a very deliberate and extensive study of current trends and a thorough and honest analysis of Royal Road’s past, present and future. The outcome is a modified strategy which we believe is adaptive and necessary in order to best mitigate rapidly shifting geopolitical trends and position the Company well in relation to its objective of quickly identifying world-class copper and gold assets in operable and mining friendly jurisdictions,” said Dr Tim Coughlin, Royal Road’s President and CEO.

Sample preparation and analyses are conducted according to standard industry procedures.
At GNM Drill core and saw-cut channel samples are crushed, split and pulverized prior to analysis of Gold by fire assay and Atomic Absorption and multi-elements by ICP-AES and ICP-MS after four acid digestion. Soil samples are sieved to -200 mesh and analyzed for Gold by fire assay and ICP AES and multi-elements by ICP-AES and ICP-MS after aqua regia digestion. Analytical performance is monitored by means of certified reference materials (CRMs), coarse blanks, coarse and pulp duplicate samples. Surface samples have been prepared in ALS Chemex preparation lab in Colombia and analyses have been completed in ALS Chemex Lima. Diamond drill core is cut in half over 1-meter downhole intervals using a core saw.
At Caribe Samples are prepared and assayed by independent and ISO accredited laboratories of Bureau Veritas Minerals (BVM) and their local subsidiaries. Bagged 1-meter samples are collected from site and delivered to BVM sample preparation laboratories in Managua. Samples are prepared using the BVM codes PRP70-250 plus PUL85, where samples are crushed to 70% less than two millimeters, a riffle split of 250 grams is collected and then pulverized to better than 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Prepared sample pulps are then sent for analysis to BVM labs in Vancouver Canada. Gold is analyzed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and a measurement range of 0.005 to 10 ppm. Samples over 10-ppm gold are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Multielement concentrations are analyzed by four-acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Samples over 10,000ppm Cu, Zn, Pb or Mn and 200 ppm W, are re-analyzed with four acid digestion and Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer (ICP-ES). Commercially prepared standards (gold-copper pulps), blanks (pulps and coarse chips) and field duplicates are inserted into the sample stream by Royal Road Minerals for a total of 15% QA/QC to ensure sample precision. In the case of duplicate analyses of a sample, the average of both analyses is used as the final reported value. Unless otherwise stated, gold grades are not capped for calculation of length-weighted averages.
RC chip samples are taken every meter after having entered 2-3 meters within the saprock-fresh rock boundary. Samples are collected from the drilling site and dried at the core yard. Where dry sample weights exceed 4.5Kg they are split. Bagged 1-meter samples are collected from site and delivered to the BVM sample preparation laboratory in Managua. Samples are prepared using BVM codes PRP70-250 plus PULSW where a riffle split of 250 grams is collected and then pulverized to better than 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Sample pulps are then sent for analysis to BVM labs in Vancouver Canada. Gold is analyzed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and a measurement range of 0.005 to 10 ppm. Samples over 10 ppm gold are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Multielement concentrations are analyzed by four-acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.

Gathering, crafting, and trading are all essential parts of Albion’s player-based economy, offering fame and fortune for players with sufficient skill and ambition. And Albion’s sprawling world, with five biomes spread across two massive continents, offers nearly endless opportunities for exploration and discovery, with a huge range of PvE and PvP options for solo and group players alike.
About Sandbox Interactive
Albion Online is developed by the Berlin-based studio Sandbox Interactive, which was founded in 2012 by a core group of dedicated MMORPG enthusiasts and has since grown to a team of 80 people. Sandbox Interactive follows the belief that the creation of your own world and interaction with other players are paramount to entertainment, and that these ideas are truly brought to life in the sandbox genre. With Albion Online, the studio has created the world’s first truly cross-platform Sandbox MMORPG – a game that places compelling gameplay and the player experience squarely in the foreground.

DeKorea Unveils New Range Of Sustainable & Non-Hazardous Feature Wall Panels
The rise of ocean temperatures and frequent changes in climate patterns has led to an increased need to become more environmentally conscious. DeKorea strives to do their part for the environment with the launch of their latest collection, which features sustainable and non-hazardous wall panels that have been carefully designed with intention. These wall panels contain hardwood charcoal powder, a material that eliminates foul odours and hazardous chemicals in the air which are especially common in newly constructed buildings. Moreover, they also contain polystyrene moulding, which does not decay, deform or warp from moisture, and can be used in wet or humid areas like bathrooms and gymnasiums.
DeKorea is an established online store that offers a wide range of home decoration products to transform any room — from self-adhesive laminating sheets for cabinets to high quality Korean paint. Given the fact that the average Singaporean spends approximately 93% of their life indoors, the company hopes to help all homeowners feel comfortable and safe in their homes with their products.
Moving forward, customers may look forward to exclusive promotions, exciting social media events and attractive prizes, including free installations of the brand’s feature wall panels. With an aim to build a close-knit community, the company’s website is also undergoing a major revamp to encourage customers to share their own unique thoughts, tips, and perspectives on home design.
With the launch of a new range of sustainable and non-hazardous wall panels, DeKorea hopes to transform homes into a conduit that reconnects individuals with the positive impacts of nature.
