First Narrows Intersects Porphyry Style Molybdenum-Copper
Mineralization at
Falls
Creek Property, New Brunswick
32 meter porphyry-style Mo-Cu zone intersected in hole
#005; drilling of hole #006 in progress
Vancouver, BC – November
16, 2007 - First Narrows Resources Corp. (TSX-V: UNO and OTC US: FNRWF) (the “Company”) is pleased to report that ongoing drilling at its Falls Creek Property
has intersected a mineralized, altered, structural zone containing disseminated
pyrite, molybdenite, and chalcopyrite at depth beneath several narrow zones
containing nuggety molybdenite in hole 4717-07-005 in the Dungarvon Granite.�
Alteration varies from strong to weak through much of the hole.� The core is being examined and logged in
detail, and samples will be sent for analysis forthwith.� Drilling of hole
4717-07-006 is in progress.
Hole 4717-07-005, collared approximately 139 meters east
of hole 4717-07-004, inclined at -60� on a bearing of 255�, was
drilled to a depth of 422 meters.� Coarse nuggety molybdenite up to 1.5 x 0.5 cm was intersected between
51.20 and 51.47 meters in intensely clay altered and saussuritized
granite.� A massive quartz vein
intersected at 360.24 to 360.50 meters contained small veinlets
of massive molybdenite parallel to the vein contact at about 30� to the core axis.� Fine grained disseminated molybdenite occurs
from 390 to 422 meters with associated finely disseminated chalcopyrite,
pyrite, and very minor arsenopyrite, in an altered, bleached, quartz flooded
breccia or fracture zone.� Hole #-005 ended in mineralization and will be deepened
following the completion of hole #-006.
The drilling program
is producing the first details about the rock types and potential economic
mineralization related to the Dungarvon Granite.� The intrusive suite of rocks (collectively,
the “Dungarvon Granite”) consists of granite, alaskite,
quartz monzonite, monzonite,
and granodiorite.�
The country rock to the east of the intrusive complex is basalt.� The dips of the granite-basalt contact and
the mineralized zones are not yet known.�
The tungsten-molybdenum (W-Mo) and molybdenum-copper (Mo-Cu) systems are
open on-trend to the north and south and, perhaps of equal significance,
mineralization persists as far west (approximately 160 meters) of the granite
contact as the current drilling extends.�
The Dungarvon Granite is now considered to be well mineralized and to
have significant potential for the occurrence of several styles of economic
W-Mo and Mo-Cu mineralization.�
�Hole #-006 is being
drilled to intersect (approximately 35 meters vertically below the equivalent
zones in hole #-005) both the easterly system of altered granite, greisen, and
quartz veins with associated nuggety Mo and W, and the westerly structural
system of porphyry-style Mo-Cu mineralization.�
Hole #-007 will be collared to provide a nearer surface
intersection of the porphyry
style Mo-Cu mineralization.
�
There is no record
of porphyry style Mo-Cu mineralization having been previously recognized in the
Dungarvon Granite. �Historical
prospecting located W-Mo mineralization in pegmatite and greisen.� To the south and to the west of the current
area of drilling there are numerous documented mineral showings of base metals,
uranium, and gold.� First Narrows recently
acquired a 100% interest in the majority of these showings through claim
staking.�
The Falls Creek property now consists of 543
claims, covering 8,688 hectares (21,469 acres), situated 45 kms (28 mi.)
southwest of the Company’s Chester copper-polymetallic project, and
extending from about 25 to 33 kms (15.5 to 20.5 mi.) north of the village of Boiestown in the little-explored regions of New Brunswick’s Central Highlands.� First Narrows owns, or has the right to earn, a
100% interest in the property.�
