VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - 04/26/10 -- First Bauxite Corporation ("First Bauxite" or the "Company") is pleased to report updated results on its ongoing Warcart drilling program. As of April 12th, 2010, 141 holes have been drilled on the property totalling 6431m. Initially, holes were drilled on a 120 x 120m drill pattern but in-fill drilling is now being conducted with the drill pattern being reduced to 85 x 85m over the zone of contiguous mineralisation with favourable stripping ratios. A programme of continuity drilling has been completed to assist establishing parameters for modelling, resource categorisation and mine planning.
In February 2010, FBX reported the results of 23 sonic drill holes out of the 55, which had been drilled up to that time, on its ongoing drill program on the Warcart PL. To date, the Company has collected and sent 1831 samples from Warcart for analysis to Acme Laboratories in Vancouver B.C; the results of the analytical test work are now available for a further 48 holes, of which the additional significant bauxite intersections are provided in the table below.
The holes indicate a continuous zone of mineralization over an area of 1400m N-S x 800m E-W (112ha) within the Warcart PL (4000ha). These excellent grades continue to illustrate the high potential for expanding the Company's resource inventory with premium grade bauxites. Exploration is on-going to extend the limits of the mineralisation and a programme of sampling for mineralogical and process test work is also underway.
