VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 10, 2014 / Far Resources Ltd. (CSE:FAT) ("Far" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on properties and projects as it looks forward toward a new fiscal year.
Tchentlo Lake Property
As announced in the Company's news release dated June 24, 2014, Far has entered into an option agreement with Alchemist Mining Inc. (TSX-V: AMS) ("Alchemist"), whereby Alchemist may acquire up to an 80% undivided interest in and to the Company's Tchentlo Lake Property located in North-Central British Columbia, Canada.
Silver Switchback Property
In 2012, the Company acquired, from Multiple Metals Resources Ltd. ("MMR"), an option to purchase, subject to a 3% net smelter return royalty, a 100% interest in the Silver Switchback property located southwest of Smithers in central British Columbia. Given the Company's other interests, management has decided to terminate the option pursuant to the terms of the option agreement and has returned the property to MMR.
Winston Project and Little Granite Mine
In March 2014, the Company made a site visit to the Winston Project in the Black Range Mining District of Southwestern New Mexico in which the Company holds an option to earn up to 80% interest from Redline Minerals Inc. ("Redline") for the primary purpose of reviewing historic data from the Little Granite Mine. Based on that visit and information gathered at that time, the Company continues to plan for exploration work on the Little Granite epithermal quartz vein system as reported in its news release dated March 17, 2014. The Company will report further as this program develops, bearing in mind that there are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise the necessary financing to maintain and/or proceed with the exploration program.
Medical Marihuana
As reported in its news release dated May 15, 2014, management is exploring the requirements for commercially producing medical marihuana in Canada. The Company is in discussions with a group experienced in this area and, if discussions prove successful, hopes to enter into an agreement with them. The Company anticipates it will have further news to report in the upcoming quarter with respect to an agreement and plans for applying for a commercial license to produce medical marihuana, but cautions that no such agreement or application is assured.
