Forward-Looking Information and Cautionary Statements
This news release contains certain
statements and information that may be considered “forward-looking statements” and “forward looking information”
within the meaning of applicable securities laws. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking statements
and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”,
“expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is
positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does
not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events
or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will
be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” and other similar expressions. In addition, statements in this
news release that are not historical facts are forward looking statements, including, among other things, the Company’s
planned exploration and production activities, the properties and composition of any extracted phosphate, the Company’s
plans for vertical integration into North American supply chains.
These statements and other forward-looking
information are based on assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances,
including, without limitation, expectations of the Company’s long term business outcomes given its short operating history;
expectations regarding revenue, expenses and operations; the Company having sufficient working capital and ability to secure additional
funding necessary for the exploration of the Company’s property interests; expectations regarding the potential mineralization,
geological merit and economic feasibility of the Company’s projects; expectations regarding drill programs and the potential
impacts successful drill programs could have on the life of the mine and the Company; mineral exploration and exploration program
cost estimates; expectations regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploration programs and the
potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations; receipt and timing of exploration
and exploitation permits and other third-party approvals; government regulation of mineral exploration and development operations;
expectations regarding any social or local community issues that may affect planned or future exploration and development programs;
expectations surrounding global economic trends and technological advancements; and key personnel continuing their employment
with the Company.
There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include:
limited operating history; high risk of business failure; limited resources and competition; negative cash flow from operations
and the uncertainty of additional funding; no dividends; risks related to possible fluctuations in revenues and results; insurance
and uninsured risks; litigation; reliance on management and key personnel; conflicts of interest; access to supplies and materials;
dangers of mineral exploration and related liability and damages; risks relating to health and safety; government regulation and
legal uncertainties; the company’s exploration and development properties may not be successful and are highly speculative
in nature; dependence on outside parties; title to some of the Company’s mineral properties may be challenged or defective;
Indigenous title and land claims; obtaining and renewing licenses and permits; environmental and other regulatory risks; risks
relating to climate change; risks related to infrastructure; land reclamation requirements may be burdensome; fluctuation in commodity
and materials prices; dilution; future sales by existing shareholders could cause the Company’s share price to fall; fluctuation
and volatility in stock exchange prices; contagious disease and geopolitical risks; and risks related to market demands. There
can be no assurance that any opportunity will be successful, commercially viable, completed on time or on budget, or will generate
any meaningful revenues, savings or earnings, as the case may be, for the Company. In addition, the Company will incur costs in
pursuing any particular opportunity, which may be significant.
These factors and assumptions are not
intended to represent a complete list of the factors and assumptions that could affect the Company and, though they should be
considered carefully, should be considered in conjunction with the risk factors described in the Company’s other documents
filed with the Canadian and United States securities authorities, including without limitation the “Risk Factors”
section of the Company’s Annual report on Form 20-F dated July 8, 2024 and Management Discussion and Analysis dated October
21, 2024 which are available on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca. Although the Company has attempted to identify factors that
would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking information or
information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”)
was contracted by First Phosphate Corporation (“First Phosphate” or the “Company”) to prepare an independent
Technical Report (“Report”) and initial Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) of the Bégin-Lamarche
Phosphate Property (“the Property” or “Project”), Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean Region, northern Québec.
First Phosphate is a public company registered in British Columbia and listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, where it trades
under the symbol PHOS. The Company’s head office is located in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia.
| 1.1 | PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION |
The Bégin-Lamarche Property is located
~270 km north of Québec City, Québec and ~75 km northwest of the City of Saguenay, Québec. The Property consists
of 688 contiguous CDC claims with a total area of 38,610 ha. First Phosphate fully owns the 688 claims. All the Property claims
are registered with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (“MRNF”). All the claims are in good standing as
of the effective date of this Report.
| 1.2 | ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE
AND PHYSIOGRAPHY |
The Bégin-Lamarche Property is accessible
via ~50 km driving-distance on highways 170 and 172 west and northwest of the City of Saguenay. These highways connect by secondary
and tertiary roads to the Property. The Bégin-Lamarche Project, which includes the area of the current Mineral Resources,
is located within the limits of the Municipality of Bégin and ~9 km north of the Town of Bégin and around the Town
of Lamarche.
The Saguenay region has a humid continental-
type climate that is milder than that of the surrounding Canadian Shield and similar to that of the St. Lawrence Lowlands. Located
just above the 49th parallel, the region has a very low average temperature (2.3°C) with very cold winters (average
−21.1°C in January) and relatively cool summers (24.1°C on average in July).
The Saguenay - Lac Saint-Jean Region has
a population of 280,000 inhabitants (Census Canada, 2021) and extensive industrial, agricultural, forestry and tourist industries.
The region also has a significant hydro-electric system (owned by Rio Tinto) to produce electricity for the aluminum production
and transformation industries. The University of Québec at Chicoutimi in the City of Saguenay houses a well-known geological
department. The nearby mining operations are mainly aggregate and dimensional stone quarries. The only metallic mine is the Niobec
Niobium Mine operated by Magris Resources.
The City of Saguenay is the sixth largest
city in Québec, with an airport, a skilled industrial workforce, and established local infrastructure. Deep-water all-season
port facilities at the Port of Saguenay, 30 road-km away, are linked by the Saguenay River to the St. Lawrence River at the Town
of Tadoussac and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean. The Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Port of Saguenay
to secure access and development space at the port facilities. Furthermore, the port of Bécancour is located 260 km south-southeast
of the City of Saguenay and is accessible by Highway Road 172 west to Highway 169, and then south along Highway 155 to the City
of Trois-Rivieres. There are regularly scheduled flights to Saguenay from the City of Montréal.

The topography of the Property consists
of small hills containing numerous outcrops and small valleys covered with a thick layer of overburden. Vegetation is a mixed forest
of deciduous and coniferous trees with a few lakes.
Historically, exploration work in the Bégin-Lamarche
region focused mainly on industrial minerals and dimensional stone. In the 1970s, the region was mapped by Provincial Government
teams, with a focus on a large anorthosite complex. In 1986 and 1996, lake sediment samples and stream sediment samples returned
anomalous values in nickel, copper and cobalt.
From the mid-1990s to 2022, Virginia Gold
Mines, Secova Metals and local prospectors completed geophysical, lithogeochemical, and geological surveys designed to detect mainly
the presence of massive magmatic sulphide mineralization associated with anorthosite. Disseminated Ni-Cu-Co sulphide mineralization
showings and phosphate mineralization occurrences were found.
First Phosphate interest in the Bégin-Lamarche
area stemmed from the presence of a 7 km long, southwesterly trending airborne anomaly and two historical grab samples taken by
prospectors that returned results of 10.5% and 12.0% P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide) in a cumulate rock type with >90% oxide (magnetite
and ilmenite) and apatite. In 2022, First Phosphate purchased the northern part of the Bégin Property from the local prospectors,
expanded it through staking and additional acquisition deals, and commenced exploration for magmatic phosphate mineralization.
| 1.4 | GEOLOGICAL SETTING, MINERALIZATION, DEPOSIT TYPE |
The Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Deposit
is hosted in an oxide-apatite gabbro intrusion within the large Proterozoic age Lac-Saint-Jean-Anorthosite (“LSJA”)
Suite in the Grenville Province, Québec. The LSJA is the largest phosphate mineralized anorthosite complex worldwide.
The Deposit extends for 2,500 m along strike,
dips steeply, and is internally offset along cross-cutting faults into three mineralized zones: 1) the Southern Zone; 2) the Northern
Zone; and 3) the Mountain Zone. The Southern Zone is the largest, consisting of four phosphate layers up to 200 m thick, and extends
for 1,700 m along strike. The Northern Zone consists of two phosphate layers ranging from 100 to 200 m in thickness and extends
for 600 m along strike. The Mountain Zone is a single phosphate-bearing somewhat elongated mass up to 200 m in diameter and 250
m in length. Drilling at the Mountain Zone intersected massive apatite (phosphate-bearing mineral) layers up to 2 m thick.
Bégin-Lamarche is an anorthosite
massif-hosted phosphate (apatite) mineral deposit.

First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
| 1.5 | EXPLORATION AND DRILLING |
In 2023 and 2024, First Phosphate has carried
out geological reconnaissance and sampling programs, an airborne magnetic survey, a petrographic study, bulk sampling for metallurgical
testing, and diamond drilling programs. In 2023, 21 drill holes were completed for a total of 4,461 m of NQ drill core. Between
January and April 2024, 99 drill holes were completed for a total of 25,929 m. In total, First Phosphate has completed 120 drill
holes for 30,390 m on the Property.
| 1.6 | SAMPLE ANALYSES AND DATA VERIFICATION |
It is the Author’s opinion that sample
preparation, security and analytical procedures for the Bégin-Lamarche Project 2023 to 2024 drill program were adequate,
and that the data are of satisfactory quality and suitable for use in the current Mineral Resource Estimate. Future drill core
sampling at the Project should include the insertion and monitoring of field and coarse reject duplicates, and 5 to 10% umpire
samples of all future drill core samples at a reputable secondary laboratory.
Verification of the Bégin-Lamarche
Project data, used for the current Mineral Resource Estimate, was undertaken by the Authors, and included a site visit sample,
due diligence sampling, verification of drilling assay data, and assessment of the available QA/QC data for the recent drilling
data. The Authors consider that there is satisfactory correlation between the P2O5, TiO2 and Fe2O3 assay values in First Phosphate’s
database and the independent verification samples collected by the Authors and analysed at SGS. The Authors consider that sufficient
verification of the Project data has been undertaken and that the supplied data are of satisfactory quality and suitable for use
in the current Mineral Resource Estimate.
| 1.7 | MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING |
Metallurgical testwork has been carried
out by SGS at their Québec City facility with additional support by SGS Lakefield, Ontario. Recent test results have confirmed
that an apatite concentrate can be produced assaying 40% P2O5 and at over 90% recovery. Additional metallurgical test results indicate
that the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit may have the potential to produce two other, possibly marketable concentrates: 1) an iron
oxide (magnetite) concentrate; and 2) a titanium dioxide (ilmenite) concentrate. Further metallurgical testing is required.
| 1.8 | MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE |
The Mineral Resources are considered by
the Authors to be amenable to open pit mining methods. The Mineral Resource Estimate is listed in Table 1.1 with an effective
date of September 9, 2024. At a cut-off grade of 2.5% P2 O5, the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit contains
41.5 Mt grading 6.49% P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide), 10.69% Fe2O3 (iron oxide), and
3.31% TiO2 (titanium dioxide) in pit-constrained Indicated Mineral Resources and 214.0 Mt grading 6.01% P2O5,
10.89% Fe2O3 and 3.63% TiO2 in pit-constrained Inferred Mineral Resources. Contained metal contents
are 2,692 kt of P2O5, 4.4 Mt of Fe2O3 and 1,372 kt of TiO2 in Indicated
Mineral Resources and 12,851 kt of P2O5, 23.3 Mt Fe2O3 and 7,773 kt TiO2
in Inferred Mineral Resources.

| 4. | The Mineral Resources in this Technical Report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of

Guidelines (2019) prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council. |
The Bégin-Lamarche Mineral
Resource Estimate is based on 120 drill holes totalling 29,762 m. The database contained 7,968 assays for percentage values
of P2O5, Fe2O3 and TiO2.
The Bégin-Lamarche Deposit mineralized
wireframes boundaries were determined from lithology, structure, and grade boundary interpretation from visual inspection of drill
hole cross -sections. Seven mineralized wireframes were developed, one for the Mountain Zone, two for the Northern Zone and four
for the Southern Zone. The mineralized wireframes were constructed on 50 m spaced vertical cross-sections for the Mountain and
Northern Zones and 100 m spacing for the Southern Zone, with computer screen digitizing polylines on drill hole cross -sections
in GEMS™. The mineralized wireframe outlines were influenced by the selection of mineralized material grading above 2.5%
P2O5 that demonstrated a lithological and structural zonal continuity along strike and down dip. In some cases, mineralization
grading <2.5% P2O5 was included for the purpose of maintaining mineralized zone continuity. The minimum constrained width for
mineralized wireframe interpretation was 3 m of drill core length.
In order to regularize the assay sampling
intervals for grade interpolation, a 3.0 m compositing length was selected for the drill hole intervals that fell within the constraints
of the above-described Mineral Resource wireframe domains. Grade capping was investigated on the 3.0 m composite values in the
database within the constraining domains to ensure that the possible influence of erratic high-grade values did not bias the grade
interpolation. Three P2O5 values in the Mountain Zone Domain were capped at 23%, whereas no capping was required for other minerals
and domains. The capped composites were utilized to develop variograms and for block model grade interpolation.
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. | Page 4 of 197 |
First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
A variography analysis was undertaken
to provide a guide to determining a grade interpolation search ellipse strategy. Directional variograms were developed using the
P2O5 composites for each mineralized domain where sufficient data were available. Continuity ellipses based
on the observed variogram ranges were subsequently generated and utilized as the basis for grade estimation search ranges, distance
weighting calculations and Mineral Resource classification criteria.
The Bégin-Lamarche block model
was constructed using GEOVIA GEMS™ V6.8.4 modelling software. The block model consists of separate model attributes for
estimated P2O5, Fe2O3 and TiO2 grade, rock type (mineralized domain),
volume percent, bulk density, and classification. All blocks in the rock type block model were initialled with a waste rock code
of 99, corresponding to the surrounding country rocks. The mineralized domain was used to code all blocks within the rock type
block model that contain ≥0.1% volume within the mineralized domains. These blocks were assigned the appropriate rock type
code. The overburden and topographic surfaces were subsequently utilized to assign rock codes 99 and 0, corresponding to overburden
and air respectively, for all blocks ≥50% above the surfaces.
A volume percent block model was set up
to accurately represent the volume and subsequent tonnage that was occupied by each block inside the constraining mineralized domains.
Consequently, the mineralized domain boundary was properly represented by the volume percent model ability to measure individual
infinitely variable block inclusion percentages within that domain. The minimum percentage of any mineralized block was set to
0.1%.
The P2O5, Fe2O3 and TiO2 grade blocks were
interpolated with the Inverse Distance Squared (“ID2”) method. Nearest Neighbour grade interpolation (“NN”)
was utilized for validation. Multiple passes were executed for the grade interpolation to progressively capture the sample points
to avoid over-smoothing and preserve local grade variability. Ellipse search ranges and directions were based on the variograms.
The average bulk density derived from the Author’s site visit sampling of 3.23 t/m3 was applied to all mineralized
blocks.
It is the Author’s opinion that the
drilling, assaying and exploration work on the Bégin-Lamarche Project support this Mineral Resource Estimate and are sufficient
to indicate a reasonable potential for eventual economic extraction, and thus it is qualified as a Mineral Resource under the CIM
definition standards. The Mineral Resource is classified as Indicated and Inferred, based on the geological interpretation, variogram
performance and drill hole spacing. The Indicated Mineral Resource is initially classified for the blocks interpolated with the
Pass I, which used at least three composites from a minimum of two drill holes. The Inferred Mineral Resource is classified for
all remaining grade populated blocks within the mineralized domains. The classifications were adjusted by creating solids to reasonably
reflect the distribution of each classification.

The Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource
Estimate was derived from applying a 2.5% P2O5 cut -off value to the pit-constrained block model and reporting the resulting tonnes
and grades for potentially mineable areas. The P2O5 cut-off value is calculated using the parameters below:

The Mineral Resource in this Technical
Report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”), CIM Standards on Mineral
Resources and Reserves, Definitions (2014) and Best Practices Guidelines (2019) prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve
Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic
viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political,
marketing, or other relevant issues. The Inferred Mineral Resource component of this grade estimate has a lower level of confidence
than that applied to the Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that
the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
| 1.9 | CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS |
The Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property
contains a significant phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) Mineral Resource that is hosted in an oxide gabbro intrusion within a large
anorthosite intrusive complex. The Property has potential for delineation of additional Mineral Resources associated with extension
of known anorthosite-associated magmatic mineralization zones and for discovery of new magmatic mineralization zones.
Additional exploration and pre-development
study expenditures are warranted to improve the viability of the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Project and advance it through
a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). The Authors recommend that First Phosphate undertake the following
exploration and pre-development program.
The Authors recommend additional drilling
and exploration work to convert the Inferred Mineral Resources to an Indicated Mineral Resources within the Northern Zone and the
Mountain Zone. The current Mineral Resource is generally open to expansion by drilling down-dip. Future drill core sampling at
the Project should include the insertion and monitoring of field and coarse reject duplicates, and also 5 to 10% umpire samples
of all future drill core samples at a reputable secondary laboratory.
Additional metallurgical testwork is also
recommended. Specific recommendations follow below:
| 1. | Bench-scale concentration tests on: |
| a. | Composites representing rock type and grades similar
to the Indicated Mineral Resource grades of each rock type; and |
| b. | Pilot testing of the production of magnetite, apatite
and ilmenite – confirmation of process and production of adequate sample for customer checking. |
| 2. | Concentrate modifications: |
| a. | Magnetite – modification for battery iron process
feed; |
| b. | Apatite – filtration adjustments regarding fatty
acid impact; |
| c. | Apatite – agglomeration technology development
for dust suppression and shipment; and |
| d. | Ilmenite – agglomeration/pelletizing-sintering
– bench scale tests. |

First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
With a view to future post-PEA level studies,
the Authors recommend that geomechanical drilling be undertaken to determine the characteristics of the pit walls and the rocks
forming the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit and that additional metallurgical testing be completed.
The costs to complete the
recommended programs are estimated to be CAD$4.9M (Table 1.3). The recommended programs should be completed in the next 12 to
15 months.

| 4.4 | MINING
RIGHTS IN QUÉBEC |
In
the Province of Québec, mining is principally regulated by the provincial government. MRNF is the provincial agency entrusted
with the management of mineral substances in Québec. The ownership and granting of mining titles for mineral substances
are primarily governed by the Mining Act and related regulations. In Québec, land surface rights are distinct property
from mining rights. Rights in or over mineral substances in Québec form part of the domain of the State (the public domain),
subject to limited exceptions for privately owned mineral substances. Mining titles for mineral substances within the public domain
are granted and managed by MRNF. The granting of mining rights for privately owned mineral substances is a matter of private negotiations,
although certain aspects of the exploration for and mining of such mineral substances are governed by the Mining Act.
A
claim is the only exploration title for mineral substances (other than surface mineral substances, petroleum, natural gas and
brine) currently issued in Québec. A claim gives its holder the exclusive right to explore for such mineral substances
on the land subject to the claim, however, does not entitle its holder to extract mineral substances, except for sampling and
only in limited quantities. In order to mine mineral substances, the claim holder must obtain a mining lease. The electronic map
designation is the most common method of acquiring new claims from MRNF, whereby an applicant makes an online selection of available
pre-mapped claims. In rare territories, claims can be obtained by staking.
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. |
Page 20 of 197 |
First
Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466
Mining
leases are extraction (production) mining titles that give their holder the exclusive right to mine mineral substances (other
than surface mineral substances, petroleum, natural gas and brine). A mining lease is granted to the holder of one or several
claims upon proof of the existence of indicators of the presence of a workable deposit on the area covered by such claims and
compliance with other requirements prescribed by the Mining Act. A mining lease has an initial term of 20 years and may be renewed
for three additional periods of 10 years each. Under some conditions, a mining lease may be renewed beyond the three statutory
renewal periods.
| 4.4.3 | The
Mining Concession |
Mining
concessions are extraction (production) mining titles that give their holder the exclusive right to mine mineral substances (other
than surface mineral substances, petroleum, natural gas and brine).
Mining
concessions were issued prior to January 1, 1966. After that date, grants of mining concessions were replaced by grants of mining
leases. Although similar in certain respects to mining leases, mining concessions granted broader surface and mining rights and
are not limited in time. A grantee must commence mining operations within five years from December 10, 2013. As is the case for
a holder of a mining lease, a grantee may be required by the government, on reasonable grounds, to maximize the economic spinoffs
within Québec of mining the mineral resources authorized under the concession. The grantee must also, within three years
of commencing mining operations and every 20 years thereafter, send the Minister a scoping and market study in regards to mineral
processing in Québec.
| 4.5 | ENVIRONMENT,
PERMITTING, SOCIAL LICENSE |
The
Author is not aware of any foreseeable problems relating to: access, weather, surface rights for mining operations, the availability
and sources of electricity and water, mining personnel, potential tailings storage areas, potential waste disposal areas, environmental
liabilities, and potential process plant sites.
A
regular permit provided by the Québec Ministry of Forest, Wildlife and Parks is required for trenching and drilling works
(autorisation pour la coupe de bois aux fins de réaliser certaines activités minières en vertu de l’article
213 de la Loi sur les mines (chapitre M-13.1)). First Phosphate received Permit No. 3032439 from Ministère des Ressources
naturelles et des Forêts, Québec, for drilling on the Bégin-Lamarche Property in 2024 and 2025. This permit
expires March 31, 2025.
The
Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts recently introduced a new authorization that must be obtained prior
to completing any impact-causing exploration work. The new authorization was added to the Act on April 12, 2022, and came into
force on May 6, 2024. The purpose of the new authorization, known as the ATI authorization, is to ensure that the concerns of
neighbouring local municipalities and Indigenous communities are considered while fostering a predictable framework conducive
to mining development investments and providing for improved control over
the impact on their living environment from impacts related to exploration work. The ATI is based on a desire for transparency
and harmonious conciliation of different land uses. It also allows the Department to impose conditions and obligations for work
to be completed on land covered by claims, such that the concerns about proposed mining exploration activities expressed by local
municipalities and Indigenous communications are considered. Therefore, impact-causing exploration work is now subject to authorization
before being undertaken.

Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466
All
claims of the Bégin-Lamarche Property are under an Agreement-in-Principle of General Nature (“APGN”) with the
First Nation of Pekuakamiulnuatsh Takuhikan. First Phosphate must request authorization from community councils prior to proceeding
with exploration work, logging, and blasting and bulk sampling; authorization of which is embedded within a government ATI permit.
An ATI permit was issued by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts for Bégin-Lamarche on June
5, 2024. This permit expires June 4, 2026.

The
Saguenay region has a humid continental- type climate that is milder than that of the surrounding Canadian Shield and similar
to that of the St. Lawrence Lowlands. Located just above the
49th parallel, the region has a very low average temperature (2.3°C), which results from significant temperature
variations involving very cold winters (average −21.1°C in January) and relatively cool summers (24.1°C on average
in July).

The
Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region has a population of 280,000 inhabitants (Census Canada, 2021) and has extensive industrial, agricultural,
forestry and tourist industries. It also has a significant hydro-electric system (owned by Rio Tinto) to produce electricity for
the aluminum production and transformation industries. The University of Québec at Chicoutimi in the City of Saguenay houses
a well-known geological department. The nearby mining operations are mainly aggregate and dimensional stone quarries. The only
metallic mine in the area is the Niobec Niobium Mine operated by Magris Resources.
The
City of Saguenay is the sixth largest city in Québec, with an airport, a skilled industrial workforce, and established
local infrastructure. Deep-water all-season port facilities at the Port of Saguenay, 30 road-km away, are linked by the Saguenay
River to the St. Lawrence River at the Town of Tadoussac and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean (Figures 5.1 and 5.2). The Company
has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Port of Saguenay to secure access and development space at the port facilities.
Furthermore, the port of Bécancour is located 260 km south-southeast of the City Saguenay and is accessible by Highway
Road 172 west to Highway 169, and then south along Highway 155 to the City of Trois-Rivieres. In addition, the Company announced
in a press release dated September 9, 2024, that it has secured a facility lease for a 10,000
tonne per annum iron phosphate cathode active material per-cursor plant in Saguenay (borough of La Baie).

The
main infrastructure at the Bégin-Lamarche Property are the access roads, which are generally in good condition. The Property
is large enough to support mining operations, infrastructure, mineral process facilities, and waste rock and tailings storage
facilities. Water is abundant in the Property area. Grid power is available at the nearby Towns of Bégin and Lamarche.
The Hydro-Québec Main Powerline is located as close as 10 km east of the Property.

The
information in this section is summarized from mainly company assessment reports GM 57006 (1995), GM 65097 (2010) and GM 73598
(2023). Note that figure coordinates use the projection UTM NAD 83 Zone 19N.
Historically,
exploration work in the Bégin-Lamarche region (i.e., sheet SNRC 22D11) focused mainly on industrial minerals and dimension
stone. Mica and possibly calcite mines were developed, starting in the 1930s (GM 06255, 1939). In the 1970s, the region was mapped
by Provincial Government teams led by Laurin and Sharma (1972, 1975). In 1986, the MRNQ published the results of a regional lake
sediment survey that had been completed (Choinière, 1986a and 1986b). Most of the work completed in the area since the
early 1990s appears to be related to exploration for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co sulphide deposits.
The
discovery of a major magmatic Ni-Cu-Co deposit in troctolites at Voisey’s Bay, Labrador in the early 1990s, led to a global
exploration effort to locate and evaluate troctolite bodies for massive sulphide potential. As a result, the anorthosite complexes
in the Grenville Province were targeted for such deposits.
The
Bégin area was prospected by Virginia Gold Mines (“Virginia”) through IOS Geoscientific Services, starting
in 1995 (GM 57006). A troctolite dyke ~100 m thick outcrops for 40 km in the Townships of Taché, Bourget and Bégin
~10 km east of Saint-Nazaire. This intrusion had previously been the subject of a Master's Thesis by Cȏté (1986).
Stream sediment samples from the area returned anomalous values of Ni, Cu and Co (Barrette, 1996).
In
2009, the Bégin area was included in SOQUEM’s Generation Grenville Program (GM 65097). The associated mapping and
prospecting campaign was completed by Virginia between May 11 and 14, 2009. During the fieldwork, 84 outcrops and 5 erratic boulders
were described and 28 were sampled for geochemical analysis. All outcrop locations are shown in Figure 6.1, the sampled locations
are shown in Figure 6.2, and selected assay results are listed in Table 6.1.

During
the 2009 work, the rock unit observed was anorthosite. The anorthosite is massive and composed of plagioclase, pyroxenes and magnetite
and minor quartz and biotite. Phenocrysts of clinopyroxene (1 to 5 cm) were observed (Figure 6.3). The anorthosite is intruded
by thin dykes of very magnetic pyroxenite. The dykes have a very-fine grain size and are locally aphanitic. The different rock
units are cut by many faults and shear zones (Figure 6.4).
In
contact with the anorthosite, a troctolite unit was identified. The transitional contact passes through an anorthosite phase,
then a gabbro phase (Figure 6.5), and finally the troctolite phase (Figure 6.6). The troctolite consists of plagioclase, clinopyroxene,
orthopyroxene, olivine and magnetite. It has a cumulate texture characterized by grains of olivine set in a plagioclase-dominated
groundmass.

Despite
the traverses completed in the area, the southern contact between the anorthosite and the troctolite could not be found. The extent
of the troctolite unit remains to be determined. A day of reconnaissance farther to the northeast resulted in the troctolite being
found. This discovery opened the door to new areas for exploration.
In
terms of mineralization, sample 189929 (Table 6.1) from outcrop LG-BG-034 indicated the presence of magmatic sulphide mineralization
35 km northwest of the City of Saguenay (GM 65097). The mineralization was discovered in a trench excavated on a geophysical target
and consisted of disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and magnetite in anorthositic gabbro. Sample 1489929 (LG-BG -034) returned
1,230 ppm Cu and 573 ppm Ni. Approximately 2.9 km to the east, near Fortin Pond, sample 189851 (PS-GB-09-002; UTM NAD83 Zone 19,
333,113 m E 5,398,283 m N) returned 2.83% Cr2O3 and 40.2% Fe2O3 in anorthosite.

In
the Bégin area, the exploration work aimed to find the presence of rock that could be associated with magmatic Ni-Cu mineralization.
The troctolite unit discovered during previous work was re-mapped and extended to the northeast of the lineament. In the Bégin
area, a more extensive surface exploration campaign was recommended in order to locate the southern contact between the anorthosite
and the troctolite. More detailed work could be done to the northeast of the main lineament, where only a single day of reconnaissance
work was completed and the troctolitic unit was found.

Secova Metals Corp. |
Secova
Metals Corp. (“Savoy”) worked their Peribonkin Bégin Property in 2018 and submitted an assessment report (GM
70766) (Figure 6.8). Their exploration focused mainly on the mafic and ultramafic rocks. Mafic rocks were considered favourable
hosts for massive magmatic sulphide mineralization, and therefore peridotites, pyroxenites, and olivine-gabbros were prospected
as exploration targets. Disseminated sulphides and local occurrences of semi-massive and massive sulphide veins with elevated
contents of Cu and Ni were known in the area. The margins of the intrusions and the bases of differentiated sills and plutons
were favourable sites for sulphide mineralization.
At
the historical sample sites visited, Secova reported disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and magnetite mineralization in gabbro-anorthosite.
Prospecting identified additional outcrops with potential to host mineralization. An additional location was identified to have
oxidized, brecciated pockets within anorthosite containing abundant magnetite and <1% sulphides. Mineralization was observed
at many other locations (Figure 6.8) on the Property, and appeared to be structurally controlled within a mafic host rocks.

Geological
and geophysical exploration programs were completed by prospectors on the Property before the northern part of it was sold and
transferred to First Phosphate in 2022. The following information is summarized from company assessment report GM 73598 (2023).
In
December 2020, two prospectors travelled logging roads that were under construction and found newly exposed mineralized zones
(Figure 6.9). During the winter of 2021, they were able to explore around their main discovery, B159 (Figure 6.10). The mineralization
at B159 was disseminated copper-nickel sulphides. In the spring, mineralization was also discovered at B149. A beepmat was used
on several surrounding outcrops.

In
the fall of 2022, a small excavator was used to clean a few outcrops around the B159 showing. Mafic and ultramafic rocks with
large pyroxene grains and disseminated sulphides were exposed in outcrops and sampled (Figure 6.11). Many of the samples collected
here resemble the Bégin Showing, described in Section 6.1.2 above. Eight samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories for
analysis and several others analysed with a portable XRF spectrometer by crushing the rock to 100 µm, followed by quartering,
pelleting and analysis. The assay results are listed in Table 6.2. In 2023, geologist Christian Tremblay noticed that there were
abnormally high values of scandium.
A
beepmat carpet was used, but only magnetic results were produced. A small ground magnetic exploration survey with a McPhar 700
device and a VLF survey with a Scintrex Omni+ device were completed on a grid. As part of the 2022 land deal, First Phosphate
completed an airborne survey (GM 72942) on this property at the same time as on the adjoining part of the Property sold and transferred
to them. The results of the First Phosphate airborne geophysical survey are summarized in Section 9 of this Report.

7.0 GEOLOGICAL
SETTING AND MINERALIZATION
7.1 REGIONAL
GEOLOGY
The
Lac-Saint-Jean Anorthosite (“LSJA”) Suite occurs in the central part of the Grenville Structural Province (Figure
7.1; Higgins and Breemen, 1992). The Grenville Structural Province is a ~1,600 km long and ~350 km wide Mesoproterozoic orogenic
belt along the southeastern margin of the Canadian Shield. The Grenville contains numerous anorthosite massifs and anorthosite-mangerite-charnockite-granite
(“AMCG”) suites, such as the LSJA Suite (Hébert et al., 2005).
The
LSJA Suite consists of anorthosite, leuconorite, leucotroctolite, norite, olivine-bearing gabbro, gabbro, pyroxenite, peridotite,
dunite, nelsonite, magnetitite, and rare charnockite–mangerite units (Hébert et al., 2005). All the rock types
are composed of plagioclase with variable amounts of pyroxene and olivine (Higgins et al., 2002). Plagioclase is primarily
andesine and labradorite (An45 to An60; Higgins and Breemen, 1992).
The
host rocks of the LSJA Suite are the Chicoutimi Gneiss Complex (~1,530 Ma), the Saguenay Gneiss Complex (~ 1,506 Ma), the Hulot
Complex (~1,434 Ma), the Cap à l’Est Gneiss Complex, and the Cyriac Rapakivi Granite (~1393 to 1383 Ma) (Higgins
and Breemen, 1996; Hébert et al., 2005). These units are Grenvillian orthogneisses and paragneisses.
The
anorthosites of the LSJA Suite are interpreted to have intruded in multiple phases over ~170 million years, starting at 1,160
million years ago (Higgins et al., 2002). The Suite defines three periods of magmatism: 1) between 1,160 and 1,140 Ma;
2) between 1,082 to 1,050 Ma; and 3) between 1,020 and 1,000 Ma (Higgins and Breemen, 1996). An accurate emplacement age for Bégin-Lamarche
Deposit has not been determined.

7.2 LOCAL
AND PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The
Bégin-Lamarche Property area is underlain mainly by rocks of the LSJA Suite (Laurin and Sharma, 1972, 1975) (Figure 7.2).
The Suite consists of lobes emplaced during successive magmatic injections (Hébert, 1998). The main rock types are norite,
gabbro, troctolite, anorthosite and ultramafic rocks (including nelsonite), which are cross-cut by pyroxenite dykes (Hébert
et al., 2009. The Property is crossed by the Mesoproterozoic Bégin Megadyke (Figures 7.2 and 7.3) (GM 73598). The
dyke is composed of leucotroctolite and has been traced for distances of 2,000 m along strike and 200 m across strike.

The
Bégin-Lamarche area rocks show a foliation trending east-northeast and dipping steeply north. Several shear zones trending
northeast intersect the rock units (GM 65097). Prograde regional metamorphism is to granulite facies followed by retrograde metamorphism
to upper amphibolite facies.

7.3 DEPOSIT
GEOLOGY
The
Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Deposit is hosted in oxide-apatite peridotite intrusions within the LSJA Suite. The Bégin-Lamarche
Phosphate Deposit as defined in drilling extends for 2,500 m along strike and dips are steeply to the west-northwest or east-southeast.
The Deposit is internally offset along cross -cutting faults into three main phosphate mineralized zones: 1) the Southern Zone;
2) the Northern Zone; and 3) the Mountain Zone (Figure 7.4).

The
Southern Zone, the largest of the three mineralized zones, consists of four phosphate layers, one of which has a thickness of
up to 200 m and extends for 1,700 m along strike. The Northern Zone consists of two phosphate layers (Northeast and Northwest
Domains) that are up to 100 m thick and extend for 500 m along strike. The Mountain Zone is a single phosphate-bearing mass up
to 200 m in diameter and 250 m in length with a northwest dip. Drilling at the Mountain Zone intersected massive apatite (phosphate-bearing
mineral) layers up to 2 m thick (Figure 7.5).

7.4 MINERALIZATION
The
summary below is derived largely on the work of Banerjee (2023), which was based on the sampling of nine drill holes from the
Southern and Northern Zones (Table 7.1).
The
mineral apatite at the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit is hosted in peridotite. The major minerals forming the peridotite are olivine,
orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, amphibole, apatite, ilmenite, and magnetite. Biotite, Al-spinel and pyrrhotite occur
as accessory minerals (<5%). Common alteration minerals are serpentine and iddingsite. Cross-cutting calcite and serpentine
veins are also common in some samples with high whole-rock Cl contents.
Based
on the modal abundances of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and plagioclase, the peridotite host rock can be more specifically
characterized as olivine gabbronorite with phaneritic texture. Estimated modal abundances of the major minerals in drill core
are given in Table 7.2. A brief description of the major minerals of the Deposit is provided below.

Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466
Olivine
(Mg2SiO4 - Fe2SiO4) is the dominant mineral. Olivine crystals of the
peridotite are subhedral in shape. The crystals range in size from ~0.2 to 3 mm. Equant crystals of olivine are common (Figure
7.6A and 7.6B). Olivine crystals are generally fractured, and the fractures are filled with serpentine. Many olivine crystals
from rock samples with high whole-rock Cl contents are altered to iddingsite. Additional alteration products of olivine are saponite
and celadonite (Laverne et al., 2006; Singh et al., 2023), which occur in samples with high and low whole-rock Cl
contents. Olivine has end-member compositions of forsterite (Mg2SiO4: 49.1 to 54.6 mol%) and fayalite (Fe2SiO4
: 45.4 to 50.9 mol%). There is little variability in contents of SiO2 (34.4 to 35.2%), MnO (0.56 to 0.59%), and CaO (0.01
to 0.03%) (Table 7.3).
Orthopyroxene
(Mg2Si2O6 - Fe2Si2O6) crystals are mostly subhedral in shape
and equant in size (~0.5 to 2.0 mm; Figures 7.6C and 7.6D). They are associated with magnetite, ilmenite and apatite, and are
less altered than olivine.
Clinopyroxene
((Ca,Mg,Fe)(Mg,Fe)Si2O6) crystals are less abundant than orthopyroxene (Figure 7.6D) and are also generally
subhedral. Crystals range in size from ~0.5 to 2 mm.
Plagioclase
(NaAlSi 3O8 - CaAl2Si2O8) crystals are euhedral to subhedral (Figure
7.6E and 7.6F) and mostly equant in size ranging from ~0.5 to 2 mm. End-member compositions are (44.1 to 48.4 mol.% anorthite,
51.5 to 52.7 mol.% albite, and 0.1 to 0.22 mol.% orthoclase. There is little variability in contents of SiO2 (55.0 to 55.8%) and
Al2O3 (27.9 to 28.2%) (Table 7.3).
Amphibole
(Na, K)0-1(Na, Ca, Mg, Fe2+, Mn2+, Li)2(Mg, Fe2+, Fe3+, Al, Mn, Zn, Cr, Ti, Li)5(Si,
Al)8 O22(OH, F, Cl, O)2) crystals are identified under the optical microscope from the samples with low
whole-rock Cl contents. The crystals are mostly subhedral in shape. Alteration of amphibole and plagioclase to clay minerals
has been reported (Proust et al., 2006) (Figure 7.6F).
Apatite
(Ca5(PO4)3F) mostly occurs as individual crystals associated with oxide minerals, orthopyroxene, olivine, and amphibole (Figure
7.7). Inclusions of apatite within olivine and orthopyroxene occur locally. Apatite crystals are euhedral to subhedral in shape
and range in size from ~0.3 to 3 mm. Late-stage veinlets of serpentine cross-cutting apatite are common in the peridotite (Figure
7.7F). Apatite crystals have narrow ranges of CaO (54.8 to 55.4%) and P2O5 (41.8 to 42.4%) contents. The contents of SiO2 (≤0.04%),
MnO (0.05 to 0.16%), MgO (0.04 to 0.15%), and FeO (0.14 to 0.31%) are low (Table 7.3). The contents of F (2.63 to 3.00%) are higher
than Cl (660 to 860 ppm) and H2O (0.34 to 0.53%) (Table 7.3). Mole fraction values of fluorapatite (XApFAp) range from
0.71 to 0.80 (Table 7.3), as calculated following the procedure of Piccoli and Candela (2002).
Ilmenite (FeTiO3)
and magnetite (Fe3O4) are the two dominant oxide minerals. Both
minerals occur as euhedral to subhedral grains that range in size from ~0.2 to 1.5 mm in diameter (Figure 7.8).

8.0 DEPOSIT
TYPES
Globally,
phosphate mineral deposits occur in igneous rocks and in sedimentary rocks (Pufahl and Groat, 2017). There are two types of igneous
rock hosted phosphate mineral deposits: 1) carbonatite hosted; and 2) massif-type anorthosite hosted. Bégin-Lamarche
is an anorthosite massif-hosted phosphate (apatite) mineral deposit, similar to the nearby Lac Orignal Deposit (also known as
Lac à L’Orignal) (P&E, 2023). The characteristics of igneous versus sedimentary phosphate mineral deposits are
summarized in Table 8.1.
Anorthosites
are plutonic igneous rocks that contain 90 to 100% plagioclase and 0 to 10% mafic silicate and (or) oxide minerals (Figure 8.1).
The most common mafic minerals present are pyroxene (orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene), olivine, Fe-Ti oxides (e.g., magnetite,
ilmenite) and apatite. Plagioclase-rich rocks that contain <90% plagioclase are leucotroctolites, leuconorites, leucogabbros,
leucogabbros and leucogabbronorites, depending on the phase and amount of mafic silicate minerals. These rock types are also associated
with anorthosite plutons. Apatite and Fe-Ti oxide mineralization commonly occurs within the anorthosite phase or in associated
gabbro phases.

An
average grade versus tonnage plot for P2O5 is shown in Figure 8.2. The plot shows a wide range of sizes
of igneous phosphate deposits. The phosphate deposits range from low-grade, low tonnage (e.g., Angico dos Dias, Brazil) to high-grade,
high tonnage (e.g., Apatit’s Kirovsk Branch, Russia) (Banerjee et al., 2024a). Although the phosphate mineralization
hosted in massif anorthosite (i.e., all igneous phosphate deposits in Canada) is not high-grade, the apatite from these deposits
contains smaller amounts of toxic elements, such as Pb (1.4 to 2.9 ppm versus 14.3 ppm), Th (4.1 to 10.0 ppm versus 191 ppm),
and U (1.4 to 5.4 ppm versus 12.3 ppm) than those from carbonatite-hosted igneous deposits worldwide. Similarly, the average rare-earth
elements (“REE”) contents in apatite (1,945 to 3,711 ppm) hosted in the oxide-apatite-mafic-ultramafic rocks in massif-anorthosite
is lower than that of carbonatite worldwide (8,224 ppm REE). Therefore, the igneous phosphate mineralization from massif anorthosites
is of higher quality and relatively environment-friendly (Banerjee et al., 2024a).

Proterozoic
anorthosites form complexes/massifs/batholiths with areal extent of tens to 20,000 km2 and were emplaced in intracratonic
settings. The parental magmas of anorthosites are considered to form in the mantle (Ashwal, 1993; Charlier et al., 2010)
or in the lower crust (Bédard, 2001, 2009). The most generally accepted model involves formation of a basalt magma in the
upper mantle, which intrudes the lower crust and fractionates large amounts of mafic minerals that settle in the magma chamber.
The co-crystallizing plagioclase crystals float in the residual magma, which ascends farther into the crust and crystallizes as
anorthosite complexes (Figure 8.3). Assimilation of crustal material may also drive large amounts of plagioclase crystallization
and magma ascent (Emslie et al., 1994).

Figure
8.3 Description: Models for massif-type anorthosite genesis. (a) Anorogenic two- stage model of Ashwal (1993). Mantle-derived
mafic melts pond at the crust-mantle boundary (Moho), where mafic silicates crystallize and sink. Residual melts become enriched
in Al and Fe/Mg. Plagioclase is buoyant in these dense melts, producing anorthosite cumulates at the top of the magma chamber.
The plagioclase-rich mush is gravitationally unstable, rises through the crust and drags aggregates of high-alumina orthopyroxene
megacryst in sub-ophitic assemblage with plagioclase. The mush coalesces as plutons at mid-crustal levels. Heat from the crystallizing
mantle- derived magma causes crustal anatexis to form granitoid magmas. (b) Post-collisional crustal tongue melting model of Duchesne
(1999) . Collisional stacking of terranes produces: (1) underthrust lower crust tongues; and (2) granitoid liquids by anatexis
of mid-crustal material. These intrude at higher levels along terrane boundaries, due to delamination along zones of weakness.
Some 10 Ma later, the rise in temperature melts a crustal tongue of suitable composition and a deep- seated magma chamber develops
in which plagioclase floats to accumulate at the roof. Resultant anorthosite diapirs rise through the crust, channelled by zones
of weakness, and coalesce higher-up at mid-crustal levels; the mafic cumulates, left behind, become indistinguishable from the
mantle. A Moho offset represents the only evidence of the former magma chamber. CLM = continental lithospheric mantle.
In
an alternative model proposed by Arndt (2013), anorthosite complexes form when basalt magma differentiates in crustal magma chambers
to form lower-density plagioclase and higher density residual liquid. Plagioclase and minor pyroxene crystallized in-situ on the
floor of the magma chamber to produce the anorthosite complex, and the residual liquid migrated downwards, eventually to solidify
as dense Fe-rich cumulates (Figures 8.4 and 8.5).

Two
local prospectors discovered apatite mineralization in the northeast part of the Property in 2021. Since the Company acquired
the claims in 2022, it has completed geological reconnaissance and sampling, very high-resolution airborne magnetic surveys, a
petrographic study, bulk sampling, and diamond drilling. The non-drilling activities are described in this section and the drilling
activities in Section 10.
| 9.1 | GEOLOGICAL
RECONNAISSANCE AND SAMPLING |
In
November 2022, First Phosphate engaged Laurentia Exploration Inc. of Jonquière (Québec) to complete a geological
reconnaissance and sampling program in the area of the apatite discovery, specifically Targets 1, 2 and 3 (Figure 9.1).

First Phosphate (October 2024)
Targets
1 and 2 are composed of nelsonite horizons ranging in thickness from <1 m to several tens of metres, intercalated between massive
to foliated, or more rarely, bedded horizons of anorthosite, leuconorite and norite. The norite beds are locally cut by injections
of apatite-oxide gabbronorite (“OAGN”),
up to several metres thick. The nelsonite is composed of 15 to 40% apatite in stocky crystals (<5 mm) disseminated in a matrix
of magnetite and ilmenite. This rock type may contain <25% orthopyroxene as cm size phenocrysts. Pyroxene nelsonite is commonly
highly deformed, as indicated by the presence of stretched phenocrysts in an anastomosing matrix composed of apatite and oxides
(± plagioclase). Field-measured fabric (bedding and mineral foliation) give a general orientation ranging from north-northeast-southwest
to east-northeast to southwest (Figure 9.2). Target 3 is the southwestern extension of Targets 1 and 2. This north-northeast to
south-southwest trending magnetic high is characterized by the presence of nelsonite and apatite mafic rocks (probably norite)
hosted in anorthosite. Its northern and central parts are composed of two magnetic horizons (West and East) 100 to 200 m apart.
The West Horizon is composed mainly of apatite mafic rocks. These rocks are generally very weathered and friable, making them
difficult to identify in the field. They are melanocratic and rich in pyroxene and iron-titanium oxides, with apatite content
of between 2 and 10%. Similar rocks containing up to 20 to 25% apatite are present at the southern end of Target 3. The eastern
horizon corresponds to a north-northeast to south-southwest trending nelsonite horizon whose thickness can reach 30 to 60 m in
the central part of Target 3 (Figure 9.3). The nelsonite is either massive or bedded (intercalated with beds of apatite-bearing
norite) and contains between 20 and 30% apatite as equant crystals in a matrix of magnetite and ilmenite.

In
total, 108 rock samples were collected: 66 at Target 1, four at Target 2 and 31 at Target 3. The samples were sent to Actlabs
in Ancaster, ON, for analyses. The sample code at Actlabs was 4Lithosearch with analyses of 10 major elements and 48 trace elements
plus Cl, F and Hg.
On
Target 1, 48 samples returned values of >5% P2O5 with a maximum amount of 15.05% P2O5
(Figure 9.2). Of the four samples collected on Target 2, one returned 14.64% P2O5 and the other three
samples returned <2.12% P2O5. Twenty samples from Target 3 returned >5% P2O5, with a maximum amount
of 15.65% P2O5.
In
October 2023, Laurentia conducted another sampling program to the northeast of Target 1, where apatite had previously been identified.
The reconnaissance program identified an area measuring ~350 m long x 175 m wide (Figure 9.4) that was named the Mountain Zone.
From field observation, the rock type is apatite-oxide peridotite, which is the most favourable rock type for phosphate. A total
of 26 grab samples were taken in this area and all except one returned >5% P2O5. The samples were sent
to Actlabs for analyses using Actlabs code 4B(+11), which analyzes for the ten major element and seven additional elements.

MAGNETIC SURVEY |
First
Phosphate engaged Novatem Inc. to complete a very high-resolution airborne magnetic survey over a portion of the Property from
August 28 to September 4, 2022. Novatem flew 1,647 line-km using its very high-resolution helicopter-borne system. The system
consists of two laser optically pumped sensors providing 1,000 measurements per second (at 1,000 Hz) mounted at the front of a
Guimbal G2 light helicopter, a multi -frequency GNSS sensor positioning system capable of receiving GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and
BeiDou location coordinates, and an MDL laser altimeter, which measures the height of the helicopter with cm precision.
In
January 2024, a very high-resolution magnetic survey using the AIM-LOWTM (magnetometer/drone/navigation) system was
flown. The drone used for this survey was MMC's Skylle 1550. The magnetometer used is the Scintrex caesium vapour CS-VL. The measurement
range is between 15,000 nT and 105,000 nT. Sensor sensitivity is 0.0006 nT/√Hz and absolute accuracy is <2.5 nT over
the measurement range. The magnetometer is installed in a custom-built shell (bird) made of plastic, enabling the magnetometer's
orientation to be accurately maintained during flight. This shell is supported under the drone at a height of 5 m, which flew
at an average speed of 12 m/s. The survey was flown along lines oriented N55W at 25 m line-spacing, with tie lines oriented N35E
at 250 m line-spacing. The entire survey was flown at an average altitude of 30 m.
This
magnetic survey confirmed the high magnetic anomaly identified with the Novatem survey, and showed enhanced details about the
structure of the anomaly (Figure 9.5).

In
July 2023, the Company contracted Dr. Sandeep Banerjee from Queens University in Kingston (Ontario) to study the chlorine content
of the apatite. It is important to quantify chlorine because in the process of making phosphoric acid from the apatite concentrate,
chlorhydric acid is formed and could damage the equipment.

High
chlorine content was determined in some whole-rock samples from the 2023 drill program. For example, sample C560551 from drill
hole BL-23-06 returned 0.87% Cl and sample C560503 from drill hole BL-23-01 returned 0.78% Cl. However, Dr. Banerjee concluded
that the Cl content of apatite in the phosphatic layers at the Deposit is generally low.
In
May 2023, the Company contracted Dr. Sandeep Banerjee to characterize the host rock and mineralization of the Bégin-Lamarche
Deposit. Dr. Banerjee concluded that host rocks are gabbronorite, norite, and troctolite. These rocks contain variable amounts
of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite, chlorite, apatite, ilmenite, magnetite, and Al -spinel.
Fluorapatite is the mineral of primary interest and ilmenite and magnetite are potentially of secondary interest. The P2O5
concentration of in-situ apatite is 41.7 ± 0.13%, which is comparable to that of the apatite concentrate (40%) produced
and analyzed by SGS. The P2O5 and CaO contents and CaO/P2O5 ratios are better than
required for phosphoric acid production. Therefore, the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit is a potentially viable source of P for
the LFP battery market (Banerjee et al., 2024b).
In
February 2024, a 15-tonne rock sample was taken on surface in the vicinity of drill hole BL-23-11 (Figure 9.6). The sample contained
olivine, apatite and oxides (Figure 9.7). The sample was crushed to 100% passing 1.8 cm. The crushed material was bagged in 14
one-tonne bags and sent to SGS in Québec City for treatment. Each bag was sample and analysed by Actlabs using 4Litho(11+)
code. The average result for the 14 samples was 7.61% P2O5, 6.80% TiO2 and 39.76% Fe2O3(t)
(total Fe determined as Fe2O3), with low chlorine and possibly deleterious elements. The bulk sample was
processed at SGS Québec and three concentrates were produced: 1) an apatite concentrate grading 40% P2O5;
2) a high purity magnetite concentrate; and 3) an ilmenite concentrate. The one-tonne apatite concentrate was sent to Prayon Technologies
in Belgium. Prayon was able to produce Merchant Grade Acid (“MGA”) and Purified Phosphoric Acid containing 85% H3PO4.

Two
diamond drill programs were completed by First Phosphate on the Property. Twenty-one drill holes were completed in 2023 for a
total of 4,461 m of NQ drill core. Another drill program took place between January and April 2024, in which 99 NQ drill holes
were completed for a total of 25,929 m. Three drill holes were also completed in each of the mineralized zones for metallurgical
purposes.
In
2023, First Phosphate commissioned Laurentia Exploration to manage a drilling program on the Property. Twenty drill holes totalling
4,391 m were completed from February 7 to March 23, 2023, and a 241-m drill hole was completed from June 21 to June 23, 2023.
Significant Fe-Ti-P mineralization was intersected in all the drill holes.
Two
phosphate zones were discovered: the Northern and Southern Zones. The Northern Zone is composed of four known phosphate layers
up to 60 m thick and ~200 m long (Figure 10.1). Average phosphate grades are ~7%. Mineralization occurs in nelsonite peridotites
interbedded with norites, leuconorites, troctolites and gabbronorites.
The
Southern Zone consists of norite, leuconorite and troctolite units containing beds of nelsonite peridotite. The phosphate layers
appear to be ~100 m thick and have been traced for 1,500 m (Figure 10.1).
The
drill hole locations are shown in Figure 10.2. The best phosphate intersections are shown in Table 10.1 and drill hole parameters
are presented in Table 10.2.

The
2024 drill program was designed and planned with the objective of supporting an initial Mineral Resource Estimate. A 100 x 50
m drill hole program covered the entire favourable area determined from the previous surface sampling, magnetic survey interpretation,
and prior drilling. Ninety-nine holes for a total of 25,929 m were completed over the entire length of the magnetic anomaly (Figure
10.3). The drilling determined that although the Mountain, Northern and Southern Zones are aligned in the same direction and part
of the same magnetic anomaly, they have different geological characteristics. In addition, the boundaries of each zone are most
likely faulted, as interpreted from the magnetic survey and presence of gouge and severely broken core in some drill holes.
The
main differences between the three mineralized zones are the grade and the abundance of apatite-rich ultramafic rocks. The Mountain
Zone has the highest phosphate grade, ~8.3% P2O5,
whereas the Northern Zone grades ~6.8% P2O5
and the Southern Zone grades ~5.6% P2O5.
The quantity of phosphate is directly associated with the abundance of apatite-rich ultramafic rocks.

Most
drill core samples exhibit alternating phaneritic leucocratic (light-coloured) and melanocratic (dark-coloured) layers (Banerjee
et al., 2024b) The leucocratic layers consist mainly of plagioclase and the melanocratic layers consist of olivine, pyroxene,
amphibole, biotite, ilmenite, and magnetite. All rock types exhibit cumulate textures. The phosphatic mineral is consistently
apatite, specifically fluorapatite.
The
technical parameters of the 2024 drill holes are listed in Table 10.3.

Twenty-three
drill holes totalling 5,023 m were completed in the Mountain Zone. The Mountain Zone shows grades of >10% P2O5
over widths ranging from 7 to 177.0 m (Table 10.4). The Mountain Zone has a somewhat elongated massive shape with
an average diameter of ~150 m (Figure 10.4) and it has been drilled over a total length of 250 m. The Mountain Zone contains
several veins of massive apatite of up to 2 m thick.

PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY |
The
following section discusses drill core sampling carried out by First Phosphate at the Bégin-Lamarche Property from 2023
to 2024.
| 11.1 | SAMPLE
PREPARATION AND SECURITY |
Drill
core sampling and security protocol at the Project was designed in accordance with CIM Mineral Exploration Best Practices Guidelines.
The NQ-sized drill core was transferred from the drill rig site to the drill core logging facility, where it was received by Laurentia
Exploration Inc. (“Laurentia”) geologists. Laurentia is a consulting firm based out of Jonquière, Québec,
that First Phosphate contracted to oversee the 2023 and 2024 drilling programs.
Drill
core is logged by the Laurentia geologists by recording lithology, mineralization, alteration and structure. Samples are also
selected by the geologists, with sample intervals varying from 0.5 to 3.0 m in length, depending on the geological observations.
The geo-technician saws the drill core in half lengthwise, using a diamond saw. The half drill core samples are placed and sealed
in plastic bags along with a unique sample tag ID. The smaller sample bags are then placed into larger rice bags, which are tied
closed with zip lock ties and labelled. The remaining half of the drill core is returned to the drill core box and retained on-site
for reference purposes. A blank and a certified reference material (“CRM”) standard are inserted at the beginning
of each sample batch, and then inserted alternatively every ten samples.
A
formal chain-of-custody procedure was adopted for security of the drill core samples until receipt of the samples at the laboratory.
The securely packaged half drill core samples are sent by ground transportation to an independent laboratory, Activation Laboratories
Ltd. of Ancaster, Ontario (“Actlabs”).
When
received at Actlabs, the drill core samples are crushed up to 80% passing 2 mm (10 mesh), riffle split (250 g split), and pulverized
(in mild steel) to 95% passing -200 mesh. Each sample is analysed for whole-rock analysis (code 4B) for ten major oxides and seven
trace elements by lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion of 3 g of material and analysed by ICP-OES. Assay data are reported electronically
from Actlabs to First Phosphate.

DENSITY DETERMINATIONS |
Independent
verification sampling of Bégin-Lamarche drill core was undertaken in April 2024 by the site visit Qualified Person. A total
of 18 due diligence samples were taken and subsequently measured independently at SGS of Québec City by the water displacement
method, returning a mean value of 3.23 t/m3.
| 11.3 | QUALITY
ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL REVIEW |
The
quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC” or “QC”) procedures utilized by First Phosphate during the
2023 and 2024 drilling programs at Bégin-Lamarche included the insertion of homemade reference material (“HRM”)
standards and blanks into the drill hole sample stream.
| 11.3.1 | Performance
of Homemade Reference Materials |
Field
personnel routinely inserted one of the four HRM standards into the drill core sample stream at a rate of ~1:20 samples. Criteria
for assessing HRM standards performance are as follows. Data plotting within ±2 standard deviations from the calculated
mean value pass. Data plotting outside ±3 standard deviations from the calculated mean value, or two consecutive data points
plotting between ±2 and ±3 standard deviations on the same side of the mean, fail.
Due
to the absence of commercially available reference material certified for P2O5, First Phosphate utilized two previously prepared
HRM standards from Glen Eagle Resources Inc.’s (“Glen Eagle”) 2012 and 2014 drilling programs at the Company’s
Lac Orignal Property, Québec.
Glen
Eagle prepared the two reference materials of differing P2O5 grades by collecting two mineralized field samples from the Property,
weighing ~15 kg each, and sent them to AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario, where two HRMs standards were prepared one low-grade
standard (Std-1) and one high-grade standard (Std-2). When received by AGAT, the 15 kg samples were crushed to 90% passing 2 mm
and then pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh (75 µm). A series of major element analyses (Lithium Borate Fusion - Summation
of Oxides with an ICP-OES finish) were carried out on 30 representative sub-samples split from each bulk sample, with ten sub-samples
each analysed over a period of three days. Individually packaged HRMs standards were prepared for use by the Company to mitigate
the settling of heavy minerals (such as magnetite and ilmenite), by placing 100 g representative pulverized sub-samples into sealed
bags. Mean values of 3.59% and 4.96% P2O5 were determined for Std-2 and Std-1, respectively.
Both
HRMs standards were found to display positive biases in Glen Eagle’s 2012 and 2014 drilling programs at Lac Orignal, and
in the early stage of First Phosphate’s drilling program at Bégin-Lamarche (drill holes BL-23-01 to BL-24-34). Std-2
returned a high percentage of results greater than +3 standard deviations from the estimated mean value, when assessed against
the single-lab statistics calculated from the 30 samples analysed at AGAT. The Author concludes that the mean and standard deviations
calculated from a single laboratory alone are not suitable for assessing HRM standard performance and that more rigorous round-robin
testing at multiple labs would provide more robust statistical data for QC purposes. Consequently, the Author has established
new means and standard deviations for both the Std-1 and Std-2 RMs, based on data from First Phosphate’s current drilling
at the Property. The performance charts for both of these HRMs standards show the original AGAT-calculated means and standard
deviations, and the modified statistics recommended by the Author (Figures 11.1 and 11.2). The use of RMs Std-1 and Std-2 was
discontinued after drill hole BL-24-34.

From
drill hole BL-24-35 to BL-24-120, First Phosphate utilized two newly homemade Property-specific HRM standards that underwent more
rigorous characterization studies at three separate reputable laboratories.
The
performance of the four HRM standards was satisfactory, with very few failures recorded. All failures were followed-up in a timely
manner and affected samples re-run if deemed necessary. Performance charts for the four HRMs are presented in Figures 11.1 to
11.4. The Author of this Technical Report section considers that the HRM data demonstrate acceptable accuracy in the 2023 and
2024 Bégin-Lamarche data.

Blanks
were routinely inserted into the drill core sample stream at a rate of approximately one every 10 samples. All blank data for
P2O5 were reviewed by the Author. If the assayed value in the certificate was indicated as being less than detection limit, the
value was assigned the value of one-half the detection limit for data treatment purposes. An upper tolerance limit of ten times
the detection limit was set. There were 574 data points to examine.
All
data plot at or below the set tolerance limit and the Author does not consider contamination to be an issue in the 2023 and 2024

The
Author recommends the following be undertaken during future sampling at Bégin-Lamarche:
| 1) | The
routine insertion of field and coarse reject duplicates into the sampling stream; and |
| 2) | Check
analyses of 5 to 10% of drill core samples taken at the Project, past and future, ensuring
to include adequate QC samples to monitor umpire laboratory performance. |
In
the Author’s opinion, the sample preparation, security and analytical procedures for the 2023 to 2024 drilling at the Bégin-Lamarche
Project were adequate and examination of QA/QC results for all recent sampling indicates no significant issues with accuracy,
contamination or precision in the data.
The
Author considers the data to be of satisfactory quality and suitable for use in the current Mineral Resource Estimate.

HOLE DATABASE VERIFICATION |
Verification
of drill hole assay data entry was performed by the Authors on 1,362 assay intervals for P2O5, TiO2 and Fe2O3. Data from holes
drilled in 2023 and 2024 were verified. The 1,362 verified intervals were checked against original digital assay laboratory certificates
downloaded directly from Actlabs’ User Web Portal (WebLIMS) by the Authors. The checked assays represent 17.1% of the entire
database (7,979 samples), and 15.3% of the constrained data (5,364 samples). No errors were encountered in the data during the
verification process.
| 12.1.2 | Drill

The
Authors validated the Mineral Resource database in GEMS™ by checking for inconsistencies in analytical units, duplicate
entries, interval, length or distance values less than or equal to zero, blank or zero-value assay results, out-of-sequence intervals,
intervals or distances greater than the reported drill hole length, inappropriate collar locations, survey and missing interval
and coordinate fields. A few minor errors were identified and corrected in the database.

P&E SITE VISIT AND INDEPENDENT SAMPLING |
The
Bégin-Lamarche Project was visited by Mr. Antoine Yassa, P.Geo., on April 9, 2024 for the purpose of viewing drilling sites
and outcrops, GPS location verifications, discussions, and due diligence sampling.
Mr.
Yassa collected 18 samples from six diamond drill holes during the April 2024 site visit. All samples were selected from drill
holes completed in 2023 and 2024. A range of high-, medium-and low-grade samples were selected from the stored drill core. Samples
were collected by taking a quarter of the previously split NQ drill core with the other quarter drill core remaining in the drill
core box. Individual samples were placed in plastic bags with a uniquely numbered tag, after which all samples were collectively
placed in a larger bag and delivered directly to SGS in Québec City for analysis.
Requested
analyses are drill core bulk density by the wet immersion method, then preparation and whole-rock analysis for Lithium Borate
Fusion.
Sample
processing services at SGS are ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Quality Assurance procedures
include standard operating procedures for all aspects of the processing and also include protocols for training and monitoring
of staff. SGS is independent of First Phosphate and P&E.
Results
of the Bégin-Lamarche site visit due diligence samples are presented in Figures 12.1 to 12.3.

13.0 MINERAL
PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
The following section is based on 2024
concentration tests by SGS in Québec City that remain underway at the time of writing this Section 13. The Author had visited
this SGS facility in September 2022 with regard to metallurgical tests on the mineralogically similar Lac Orignal phosphate Mineral
Resource. At that time, the Author concluded that the SGS staff were well-informed and knowledgeable in developing the metallurgical
processes appropriate for the “industrial” minerals present in the Lac Original Mineral Resource and in the Bégin-Lamarche
phosphate Mineral Resource.
SGS Lakefield (“SGS”) completed
Tescan Integrated Mineralogical Analyses (“TIMA”) mineralogical examinations on a composite Bégin-Lamarche sample
provided to SGS by First Phosphate. This was a higher-grade sample (9.27% P2O5) than the currently Indicated Resource grade (6.49%
P2O5 ). The Queen’s University Geology Department at Kingston, Ontario, in cooperation with the Université du Québec
à Chicoutimi, provided detailed mineralogical analyses on several Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource-representative
drill core samples (Banerjee et al., 2024).
13.1 METALLURGICAL
SAMPLE
Drill cores representing the Bégin-Lamarche
Mineral Resource were assembled by First Phosphate for M1, M2 and M3 composites. The drill core was crushed, blended to form a
single composite, and samples were taken for assaying, mineralogy, comminution and metallurgical concentration testing. The composite
analyses are summarized in Table 13.1.

As indicated in the results of analyses
of the metallurgical sample, elements of potential concern in phosphate products, such as fertilizers, food and battery grade materials,
are very low in the Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource. The low sulphur content suggests the tailings material would not create
an environmental risk for acid generation or for metal leaching. The total rare earth element (“REE”) content can be
assessed as moderate, but since the REEs would be concentrated in the apatite mineral, they could be of some potential economic
value. However, REEs will associate with the gypsum-hemihydrate precipitated during phosphoric acid production, which means that
the REEs can be challenging to isolate.
13.2 MINERALOGY
A TIMA-X mineralogical study was conducted
by SGS on a representative sample of ground composite. TIMA-X is an acronym for TESCAN Intergraded Mineral Analyser. This technique
provides an accurate representation of mineral identity, liberation and association, and elemental content of specific minerals.
13.2.1 Mineral
Content and Distribution
Four size fractions were taken from a composite
sample and the mineral content (% mass) was determined for each fraction, as shown in Table 13.2.

Notes: | 1. | TIMA tests are unable to distinguish hematite from
magnetite. |
| 2. | Other minerals present are sphalerite, titanite and
miscellaneous oxides. |
The distribution of the minerals by size suggests the following:
| ● | The concentration of apatite in the finest fraction suggests that scrubbing and desliming would
be detrimental to apatite recovery. Desliming is a common step in processing minerals of this type, but is likely not appropriate
in this case; |
| ● | As a first process step, the iron oxides, probably mainly magnetite, could be effectively removed/recovered
by low intensity magnetic separation (“LIMS”). This concentrate is expected to need additional beneficiation stages; |
| ● | Ilmenite may also be recovered by magnetic separation from the apatite flotation tails. Ilmenite
is typically a paramagnetic mineral and would be susceptible to high intensity magnetic separation (“HIMS”). Trace
amounts of ilmenite could be removed from the apatite concentrate, but may not be of suitable grade to add to ilmenite recovered
from apatite flotation tailings; and |
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. | Page 100 of 197 |
First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
| ● | Pyrite/pyrrhotite concentrations are low, and because these minerals are relatively soft, some
concentration can be expected in fine fractions. As a result of the low sulphur content, the potential for acid generation is expected
to be low – also neutralizing carbonate concentrations exceed that of sulphides. |
Apatite is the principal mineral of interest
and mineralogical analyses indicated a significant presence in all screen sizes of the sample. As listed in Table 13.2, 22.3% of
the composite is apatite.
The composite assayed 9.27% P2O5. Queen’s
University analysed 115 specimens of apatite from Bégin-Lamarche drill core by electron-probe micro-analysis (“EPMA”)
and determined the P2O5 content to be 41.4 to 41.8%, with an average of 41.6%. There was excellent agreement between SGS and Queen’s
on the apatite purity and content:
9.27%/0.416 = 22.3% apatite in the composite sample
Other contents of the 115 apatite crystals results are summarized
in Table 13.3.

These preliminary results indicate that
the apatite varies mildly in elemental content and impurities. An exception might be the identification of the apatite as either
fluorapatite or chlorapatite.
| 13.2.3 | Mineral Liberation and
Exposure |
TIMA assessments were completed by SGS
on the liberation and exposure of apatite, ilmenite and iron oxides. The following examples for apatite criteria were used is this
assessment. Similar criteria were applied to ilmenite and iron oxides:
| ● | Pure apatite: 100% liberated and free. |
| ● | Free apatite: >95% apatite in a particle. |
| ● | Liberated apatite: >80 <95% apatite. |
The results for apatite in the ground (P90 150 µm) composite
are summarized in Figure 13.1.

13.1 Apatite Association of Ground Composite

2024)
The results shown in Figure 13.1 indicate
that in order to produce a high-grade concentrate at high recovery (90%), minor additional grinding of the +75 µm fraction
should be considered.
Similar mineral exposure results for iron
oxides are shown in Figure 13.2. The iron oxides would be removed before apatite beneficiation using LIMS. A rougher iron concentration
would need to be subject to additional beneficiation steps, such as regrinding and flotation to remove non-ferrous impurities.
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. | Page 102 of 197 |
First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
An iron oxide recovery of 90% has been
suggested by SGS. Fine grinding would be required to meet such a high recovery of a high-quality concentrate (Figure 13.2). However,
considering that LIMS concentration of magnetite is a strong selective process, 90% recovery is possible.

grains either totally free or liberated. Ilmenite concentration and cleaning processes could include HIMS, gravity and flotation.
Recoveries of a marketable concentrate could range between 50 and 60%.

Following grinding
to a P80 of ~150 µm, the ground material was submitted for LIMS to remove the iron oxides, principally magnetite
(Table 13.4). The iron oxide (Fe2O3) content had been determined to be 22.9%. Approximately half of the
Fe-oxide can be allocated to magnetite, with the balance being held in olivine and ilmenite.
Greater than 95% of the free iron oxides
(including magnetite) were removed. Less than 2.5% of the P2O5 was taken with the magnetite concentrate.

Seventeen bench scale batch flotation
tests have been performed. The results of the first 16 tests were available at the time of this writing. All tests were initiated
with thick, stage conditioning of “non-mags” LIMS tails with soda ash, starch and fatty acid. Initial flotation tests
investigated rougher kinetics and the benefit of regrinding a rougher apatite concentrate. At least one locked cycle flotation
test is currently planned by SGS. This test procedure is expected to confirm the method for producing a very high grade (>40%
P2O5) apatite concentrate and to provide sufficient sample to conduct the tests to confirm the production of marketable grades
of magnetite and ilmenite by-products.
The fifteenth flotation test (“F15”)
included four cleaner stages with the addition of starch and sodium silicate in the cleaning stages. The rougher concentrate was
reground to P80 110 µm. The promising results of F15 are summarized in Table 13.5.

First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
In reviewing the results of the chemical
analyses of the composite, the mineralogical examinations and the results of the magnetic separation and the multiple batch flotation
tests, the following conclusions can be made:
| ● | The Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource is a good grade apatite Mineral Resource – the
high-purity fluorapatite mineral contains very low levels of potentially hazardous components such as arsenic, heavy metals and
radioactivity; |
| ● | The apatite mineral content has the potential to be concentrated as a high-grade product and at
a high recovery. The latest batch test results indicate the production of 40% P2O5 at over 90% recovery is reasonably possible;
and |
| ● | Locked cycle test results are expected to confirm high concentrate grade and recovery. |
As indicated in mineralogical studies,
the Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource presents the potential for recovering two additional mineral products; saleable magnetite
and ilmenite concentrates. This potential is expected to be confirmed with additional testing and matching test results with market
specifications.
A valuable magnetite concentrate can be
achieved by magnetic separation plus a potential grinding and classification to meet market requirements such as use in heavy media
separation. More than 80% of the magnetite, possibly as high as 90%, should be recoverable and saleable.
Most of the ilmenite mineralization will
report to the apatite rougher tails. Ilmenite, being a paramagnetic mineral, could be concentrated by HIMS combined with gravity
and (or) froth flotation techniques. Mineralogical examination of the ground composite indicated that 50% of the ilmenite was “pure”
and 30% was “free”. This result suggests that with a combination of concentration methods, ~50 to 60% recovery of high-grade
ilmenite concentrate could be expected.
| 13.4 | RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS |
The continuation of bench-scale apatite
flotation testing is recommended, in particular locked cycle testing. Locked cycle flotation testing is essential to provide a
preliminary simulation of a full-scale processing performance. Testing that targets the production of saleable magnetite and ilmenite
is essential.
Industrial mineral processing and concentration
that uses fatty acids is notoriously tricky. These reagents can accumulate and produce sticky, unselective metallurgical conditions.
Pilot scale testing is recommended to assess these risks and develop techniques to deal with these conditions.
As reported by Banerjee et al. (2024),
the rock types of the Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource present in the massif anorthosite are quite variable. This variability
results in a wide range of apatite (0 to 70%), magnetite (0 to 27%), and ilmenite (0 to 24%) contents. Other minerals, such as
olivine and pyroxene, are also highly variable. Additional bench-scale testing, at grades close to the Indicated Mineral Resource
grade, and according to rock type, are justified.
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. | Page 107 of 197 |
First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
Fatty-acid produced concentrates are notoriously
difficult to dewater by filtration. This situation is commonly remediated by scrubbing off the fatty acid with acid. Tests are
needed to determine process and equipment needs for a full-scale operation.

| 14.0 | MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES |
The purpose of this Technical Report section
is to summarize initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the Bégin-Lamarche Project in Québec for First Phosphate Corp.
The Mineral Resource Estimate presented herein is reported in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National
Instrument 43-101 (2014) and has been estimated in conformity with the generally accepted CIM “Estimation of Mineral Resource
and Mineral Reserves Best Practices” guidelines (2019). Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the Mineral Resource will be converted into a Mineral Reserve.
Confidence in the estimate of Inferred Mineral Resources is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic
parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure. Mineral Resources may be affected by further
infill and exploration drilling that may result in increases or decreases in subsequent Mineral Resource Estimates.
This Mineral Resource Estimate was based
on information and data supplied by First Phosphate Corp., and was undertaken by Yungang Wu, P.Geo., and Eugene Puritch, P.Eng.,
FEC, CET of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. of Brampton, Ontario. This Mineral Resource Estimate was supervised, reviewed and accepted
by Antoine Yassa, P.Geo., an independent Qualified Person in terms of NI 43-101. The effective date of this Mineral Resource Estimate
is September 9, 2024.
All drilling and assay data were provided
in the form of Excel data files by First Phosphate Corp. The GEOVIA GEMS™ V6.8.4 database for this Mineral Resource Estimate,
compiled by the Authors, consisted of 126 drill holes totalling 30,647.5 m. A total of 117 drill holes (29,096.5 m) intersected
the mineralized wireframes used for the Mineral Resource Estimate. Three metallurgical drill holes totalling 375 m were not used
for the Mineral Resource Estimate, because they were not assayed. A drill hole plan is shown in Appendix A.
The drill hole assay database contained
P2O5, Fe2O3 and TiO2 and other minerals. The basic statistics of all raw assays of the principal minerals are presented in Table
14.1.

All drill hole survey and assay values
are expressed in metric units. Coordinates are in the projected coordinate system UTM NAD 83, Zone 19N.
Additional to verification procedures and
protocols described in Sections 11 and 12 of this Technical Report. The Authors validated the Mineral Resource database in GEMS™
by checking for inconsistencies in analytical units, duplicate entries, interval, length or distance values less than or equal
to zero, blank or zero-value assay results, out-of-sequence intervals, intervals or distances greater than the reported drill hole
length, inappropriate collar locations, survey and missing interval and coordinate fields. A few minor errors were identified and
corrected in the database. The Authors are of the opinion that the supplied database is suitable for Mineral Resource estimation.
| 14.4 | DOMAIN INTERPRETATION |
The Bégin-Lamarche
Deposit domain boundaries were determined from lithology, structure, and grade boundary interpretation from visual inspection of
drill hole cross-sections. Seven mineralized domains; one within the Mountain Zone, two within the Northern Zone and four within
the Southern Zone were constructed by the Authors on 50 to 100 m spaced vertical cross-sections with computer screen digitizing
polylines in GEMS™. The domain outlines
were influenced by the selection of mineralized material above 2.5% P2O5 that demonstrated a lithological and structural zonal
continuity along strike and down-dip. In some cases, mineralization <2.5% P2O5 was included for the purpose of maintaining zone
continuity. On each cross-section, polyline interpretations were digitized from drill hole to drill hole, and typically were not
extended >100 m into untested territory. Minimum constrained width for interpretation was 2 m of drill core length.
The topographic surface was created using
LiDAR results from the Québec Government website (www.diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca). The overburden surface was determined
using average depth to bedrock with local adjustment using drill holes logs and outcrop locations. All mineralized domain wireframes
were truncated at the overburden surface.
P&E Mining Consultants Inc. | Page 110 of 197 |
First Phosphate Corp., Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property, Report No. 466 | |
The resulting mineralized wireframes were
utilized as constraining boundaries during Mineral Resource estimation and for purposes of rock coding, statistical analysis and
compositing limits. The 3-D domains are presented in Appendix B.
| 14.5 | ROCK CODE DETERMINATION |
A unique rock code was assigned to each
mineralized domain in the Mineral Resource model as presented in Table 14.2.

In order to regularize the assay sampling
intervals for grade interpolation, a 3.0 m compositing length was selected for the drill hole intervals that fell within the constraints
of the above-described Mineral Resource wireframe domains. The composites were calculated for P2O5, Fe2O3
and TiO2 over 3.0 m lengths starting at the first point of intersection between assay data drill hole and hanging
wall of the 3-D zonal constraint. The compositing process was halted on exit from the footwall of the constraint. Missing samples
(unsampled intervals) were assigned a background value of 0.001%. If the last composite interval was less than 1.50 m, the composite
length was adjusted to make all composite intervals of the domain intercept of equal length. The resulting composite length ranged
from 2.30 to 4.01 m. This process would not introduce any short sample bias in the grade interpolation process. The constrained
composite data were extracted to a point file for a grade capping analysis. The composite statistics are summarized in Table 14.4.

Grade capping was investigated on the 3.0
m composite values in the database within the constraining domain to ensure that the possible influence of erratic high-grade values
did not bias the database. Log-normal histograms and log-probability plots were generated for each mineralized domain and the selected
resulting graphs are exhibited in Appendix C. Three P2O5 values in the Montagne Domain were capped at 23%, whereas no capping was
required for other minerals and domains. The capped composite statistics are summarized in Table 14.4. The grade capping values
are detailed in Table 14.5. The capped composites were utilized to develop variograms and for block model grade interpolation.

A variography analysis was attempted as
a guide to determining a grade interpolation search ellipse strategy. Directional variograms were developed using the P2O5 composites
for each mineralized domain where sufficient data were available. Selected variograms are attached in Appendix D.
Continuity ellipses based on the observed
variogram ranges were subsequently generated and utilized as the basis for estimation search ranges, distance weighting calculations
and Mineral Resource classification criteria.
The bulk
density used for the creation of the bulk density block model was derived from eighteen samples taken by the Author during a site
visit that were analysed by SGS Canada of Québec City. The average bulk density 3.23 t/m3
was applied to all mineralized blocks for this Mineral Resource Estimate.
The Bégin-Lamarche block model
was constructed using GEOVIA GEMS™ V6.8.4 modelling software. The block model origin and block size are presented in Table
14.6. The block model consists of separate model attributes for estimated P2O5, Fe2O3
and TiO2 grade, rock type (mineralized domain), volume percent, bulk density, and classification.

All blocks in the rock type block model
were initialled with a waste rock code of 99, corresponding to the surrounding country rocks. The mineralized domain was used to
code all blocks within the rock type block model that contain ≥0.1% volume within the mineralized domains. These blocks were
assigned the rock type codes presented in Table 14.2. The overburden and topographic surfaces were subsequently utilized to assign
rock codes 99 and 0, corresponding to overburden and air respectively, for all blocks ≥50% above the surfaces.
A volume percent block model was set up
to accurately represent the volume and subsequent tonnage that was occupied by each block inside the constraining mineralized domains.
As a result, the mineralized domain boundary was properly represented by the volume percent model ability to measure individual
infinitely variable block inclusion percentages within that domain. The minimum percentage of any mineralized block was set to
0.1%.

The P2O5,
Fe2O3 and TiO2 grade blocks were interpolated with the Inverse Distance Squared (“ID2”)
method. Nearest Neighbour grade interpolation (“NN”) was utilized for validation. Multiple passes were executed for
the grade interpolation to progressively capture the sample points to avoid over-smoothing and preserve local grade variability.
Ellipse search ranges and directions were based on the variograms. Grade blocks were interpolated using the parameters in Table
14.7.

Selected cross-sections and plans of the P2O5 grade blocks are
presented in Appendix E.
The average bulk density of 3.23
t/m3 was applied to all mineralization blocks.
| 14.12 | MINERAL RESOURCE CLASSIFICATION |
It is the Author’s opinion that the
drilling, assaying and exploration work on the Bégin-Lamarche Project support this Mineral Resource Estimate and are sufficient
to indicate a reasonable potential for eventual economic extraction, and thus it is qualified as a Mineral Resource under the CIM
definition standards. The Mineral Resource is classified as Indicated and Inferred, based on the geological interpretation, variogram
performance and drill hole spacing. The Indicated Mineral Resource is initially classified for the blocks interpolated with the
Pass I, which used at least three composites from a minimum of two holes. The Inferred Mineral Resource is classified for all remaining
grade populated blocks within the mineralized domain. The classifications were adjusted by creating solids to reasonably reflect
the distribution of each classification. Selected classification block cross-sections and plans are attached in Appendix F.
| 14.13 | P2O5 CUT-OFF CALCULATION |
The Bégin-Lamarche Mineral Resource
Estimate was investigated with a pit optimization to ensure a reasonable assumption of potential economic extraction could be made.
An optimized pit shell is presented in Appendix G. The pit-constrained Mineral Resource was derived from applying P2O5% cut -off
values to the block model and reporting the resulting tonnes and grades for potentially mineable areas. The following parameters
were used to calculate the P2O5 cut-off value that determines the open pit mining potentially economic portions of the constrained
mineralization:

The block model was validated using several
industry standard methods, including visual and statistical methods, as follows:
| ● | Visual examination of composites and block grades on successive plans and sections were performed
on-screen, in order to confirm that the block models correctly reflect the distribution of composite grades. The review of estimation
parameters included: |
| ○ | Number of composites used for grade estimation; |
| ○ | Number of drill holes used for grade estimation; |
| ○ | Number of passes used for grade estimation; |
| ○ | Mean value of the composites used; |
| ○ | Mean distance to sample used; |
| ○ | Actual distance to closest point; and |
| ○ | Grade of true closest point. |

The
Niobec Mine, located in Saint -Honoré, Québec, ~30 km southeast of the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit, is the only
operating mine in the area (Figure 23.1). The Mine is one of the world’s few and leading producers of niobium, a critical
element used mainly in making high-strength, low-alloy steels. The Mine is owned and operated by Magris Resources, a private Brazilian
company. The most recent publicly available Mineral Reserve Estimate, provided in 2014 when the mine was sold to Magris Resources
by Iamgold, suggested Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of ~418 Mt of ore grading ~0.42% niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅).
In addition to Mineral Reserves, the Mine also has significant Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources. The Mine has
been in operation since 1976 and is expected to continue producing for several more decades.
The
Bérubé Property is located a few km west of the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit (Figure 23.1). The owner of the claims
explores for peat moss and is associated with Tourbières Lambert, which has a peat moss packing facility just west of the
Bégin-Lamarche Property.
The
Cormier Property, enclosed by the southern part of the Bégin-Lamarche Property (Figure 23.1), was drilled in 2011 and 2012
for phosphate and titanomagnetite. Nineteen drill holes were completed totalling 3,149 m on the known phosphate mineralization.
Three mineralized zones were discovered on that property; the Centre, West and East Zones (GM 67674). The Centre Zone has been
intersected for 390 m of strike oriented at N165° to N180° dipping 50° to 85° west. The average phosphate content
of the Center Zone is 9.16% P 2O5. The apparent thickness of the Centre Zone is between 15 to 45 m. The
West Zone is located <50 m west of the Centre Zone, parallels the Central Zone and dips 45° to 55° west. The average
phosphate content of the West Zone is 8.91% P2O5. The East Zone has an average thickness of 9.54 m and contains
9.17% P2O5.
Silice
Charlevoix owns a property located north of the Niobec Mine (Figure 23.1). No work has been carried out on that Property. There
are a several small properties in and around the Bégin-Lamarche Property held by individual prospectors or businessmen
with little or no reported exploration work.

AND CONCLUSIONS |
P&E
Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) was contracted by First Phosphate Corporation (“First Phosphate” or
the “Company”) to prepare an independent Technical Report (“Report”) and initial Mineral Resource Estimate
(“MRE”) of the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property (“the Property” or “Project”), Saguenay
– Lac Saint-Jean Region, northern Québec. First Phosphate is a public company registered in British Columbia and
listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, where it trades under the symbol PHOS. The Company’s head office is located
in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia.
The
Bégin-Lamarche Property is located ~270 km north of Québec City, Québec and ~75 km northwest of the City
of Saguenay, Québec. The Property consists of 688 contiguous CDC claims with a total area of 38,610 ha. First Phosphate
fully owns the 688 CDC claims. All the Property claims are registered with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (“MRNF”).
All the claims are in good standing as of the effective date of this Report.
The
Bégin-Lamarche Property is accessible via ~50 km driving-distance on highways 170 and 172 west and northwest of the City
of Saguenay. These highways connect by secondary and tertiary roads to the Property. The Bégin-Lamarche Project, which
includes the area of the current Mineral Resource, is located ~1 km north of the Town of Bégin and around the Town of Lamarche.
The
Saguenay region has a humid continental- type climate that is milder than that of the surrounding Canadian Shield and similar
to that of the St. Lawrence Lowlands. Located just above the 49th parallel, the region has a very low average temperature
(2.3°C) with very cold winters (average −21.1°C in January) and relatively cool summers (24.1°C on average in
July). The topography of the Property is made up of small hills containing numerous outcrops and small valleys covered with a
thick layer of overburden. Vegetation is a mixed forest of deciduous and coniferous trees with a few lakes.
The
Saguenay - Lac Saint-Jean region has a population of 280,000 inhabitants and extensive industrial, agricultural, forestry and
tourist industries. The region also has a significant hydro-electric system (owned by Rio Tinto) to produce electricity for the
aluminum production and transformation industries. The University of Québec at Chicoutimi in the City of Saguenay houses
a well-known geological department. The nearby mining operations are mainly aggregate and dimensional stone quarries. The only
metallic mine is the Niobec Niobium Mine operated by Magris Resources.
The
City of Saguenay is the sixth largest city in Québec, with an airport, a skilled industrial workforce, and established
local infrastructure. Deep-water all-season port facilities at the Port of Saguenay, 30 road-km away, are linked by the Saguenay
River to the St. Lawrence River at the Town of Tadoussac and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean. The Company has signed a Memorandum
of Understanding with the Port of Saguenay to secure access and development space at the port facilities. Furthermore, the port
of Bécancour is located 260 km south-southeast of the City Saguenay and is accessible by Highway Road 172 west to Highway
169, and then south along Highway 155 to the City of Trois-Rivieres. There are regularly scheduled flights to Saguenay from the
City of Montréal.

Historically,
exploration work in the Bégin-Lamarche region focused mainly on industrial minerals and dimensional stone. In the 1970s,
the region was mapped by Provincial Government teams, with a focus on a large anorthosite complex. In 1986 and 1996, lake sediment
samples and stream sediment samples returned anomalous values in nickel, copper and cobalt. From the mid-1990s to 2022, Virginia
Gold Mines, Secova Metals and local prospectors completed geophysical, lithogeochemical, and geological surveys designed to detect
mainly the presence of massive magmatic sulphide mineralization associated with anorthosite. Disseminated Ni-Cu-Co sulphide mineralization
showings and phosphate mineralization occurrences were found.
First
Phosphate interest in the Bégin-Lamarche area stemmed from the presence of a 7-km long, southwesterly trending airborne
anomaly and two historical grab samples taken by prospectors that returned results of 10.5 and 12.0% P2O5 in a cumulate rock with
>90% oxide (magnetite and ilmenite) and apatite. In 2022, First Phosphate purchased northern part of Bégin Property
from the local prospectors, expanded it through staking and additional acquisition deals, and commenced exploration for magmatic
phosphate mineralization.
The
Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Deposit is hosted in oxide-apatite peridotite intrusions within the large Proterozoic Lac-Saint-Jean-Anorthosite
(“LSJA”) Suite in the Grenville Province, Québec. The LSJA is the largest phosphate mineralized anorthosite
complex worldwide.
The
Deposit extends for 2,500 m along strike, dips steeply, and is internally offset along cross-cutting faults into three mineralized
zones: 1) the Southern Zone; 2) the Northern Zone; and 3) the Mountain Zone. The Southern Zone is the largest one, consists of
four phosphate layers up to 200 m thick, and extends for 1,700 m along strike. The Northern Zone consists of two phosphate layers
ranging from 100 to 200 m in thickness and extends for 600 m along strike. The Mountain Zone is a single phosphate-bearing, somewhat
elongated mass up to 200 m in diameter and 250 m in length. Drilling at the Mountain Zone intersected massive apatite (phosphate-bearing
mineral) layers up to 2 m thick.
Bégin-Lamarche
is an anorthosite massif-hosted phosphate (apatite) mineral deposit.
In
2023 and 2024, First Phosphate has carried out geological reconnaissance and sampling programs, an airborne magnetic survey, a
petrographic study, bulk sampling for metallurgical testing, and diamond drilling programs. In 2023, 21 drill holes were completed
for a total 4,461 m of NQ drill core. Between January and April 2024, 99 drill holes were completed for a total of 25,929 m. In
total, First Phosphate has completed 120 drill holes for 30,390 m on the Property.
It
is the Author’s opinion that sample preparation, security and analytical procedures for the Bégin-Lamarche Project
2023 to 2024 drill program were adequate, and that the data are of satisfactory quality and suitable for use in the current Mineral
Resource Estimate. Future drill core sampling at the Project should include the insertion and monitoring of field and coarse reject
duplicates, and 5 to 10% umpire samples for all future drill core samples at a reputable secondary laboratory.

Verification
of the Bégin-Lamarche Project data, used for the current Mineral Resource Estimate, was undertaken by the Authors, and
included a site visit sample, due diligence sampling, verification of drilling assay data, and assessment of the available QA/QC
data for the recent drilling data. The Authors consider that there is good correlation between the P2O5,
TiO2 and Fe2O3 assay values in First Phosphate’s database and the independent verification
samples collected by the Authors and analysed at SGS. The Authors consider that sufficient verification of the Project data has
been undertaken and that the supplied data are of good quality and suitable for use in the current Mineral Resource Estimate.
Metallurgical
testwork has been undertaken by SGS at their Québec City facility with additional support by SGS Lakefield, Ontario. Recent
test results have confirmed that an apatite concentrate can be obtained assaying 40% P2O5 and at over 90% recovery. Additional
metallurgical test results indicate that the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit may have the potential to produce two other, possibly
marketable concentrates: 1) an iron oxide (magnetite) concentrate; and 2) a titanium oxide (ilmenite) concentrate. Further metallurgical
testing is warranted.
The
Mineral Resources are considered by the Authors to be amenable to open pit mining methods. The effective date is September 9,
2024. At a cut-off grade of 2.5% P2O5, the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit contains 41.5 Mt grading 6.49% P2O5 10.69% Fe2O3,
and 3.31% TiO2 in pit-constrained Indicated Mineral Resources and 214.0 Mt grading 6.01% P2O5, 10.89% Fe2O3 and 3.63% TiO2 in
pit-constrained Inferred Mineral Resources. Contained metal contents are 2,692 kt of P2O5, 4.4 Mt of Fe2O3 and 1,372 kt of TiO2
in Indicated Mineral Resources and 12,851 kt of P2O5, 23.3 Mt Fe2O3 and 7,773 kt TiO2 in Inferred Mineral Resources.
The
Mineral Resources in this Technical Report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM),
CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions (2014) and Best Practices Guidelines (2019) prepared by the CIM Standing
Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have
demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal,
title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The Inferred Mineral Resource component of this estimate
has a lower level of confidence than that applied to the Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve.
It is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be converted to Indicated Mineral Resources
with continued exploration.

The
Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Property contains a significant P2O5 Mineral Resource that is hosted in an oxide gabbro intrusion
within a large anorthosite intrusive complex. The Property has potential for delineation of additional Mineral Resources associated
with extension of known anorthosite-associated magmatic mineralization zones and for discovery of new magmatic mineralization
zones.
Additional
exploration and pre-development study expenditures are warranted to improve the viability of the Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate
Project and advance it through a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). The Authors recommend that First Phosphate
undertake the following exploration and pre-development program.
The
Authors recommend additional drilling and exploration work to convert the Inferred Mineral Resources to an Indicated Mineral Resources
within the Northern Zone and the Mountain Zone. The current Mineral Resources are generally open to expansion by drilling down-dip.
Future drill core sampling at the Project should include the insertion and monitoring of field and coarse reject duplicates, and
to umpire sample 5 to 10% of all future drill core samples at a reputable secondary laboratory.
Additional
metallurgical testwork is also recommended. Specific recommendations are as follows:
| 1. | Bench-scale
concentration tests on: |
| a. | Composites
representing rock type and grades similar to the Indicated Mineral Resource grades of
each rock type; and |
| b. | Pilot
testing of the production of magnetite, apatite and ilmenite – confirmation of
process and production of adequate sample for customer checking. |
| 2. | Concentrate
modifications: |
| a. | Magnetite
– modification for battery iron process feed; |
| b. | Apatite
– filtration adjustments regarding fatty acid impact; |
| c. | Apatite
– agglomeration technology development for dust suppression and shipment; and |
| d. | Ilmenite
– agglomeration/pelletizing-sintering – bench scale tests. |
With
a view to future post-PEA level studies, the Authors recommend that geomechanical drilling be undertaken to determine the characteristics
of the pit walls and the rocks forming the Bégin-Lamarche Deposit.
The
costs to complete the recommended programs are estimated to be CAD$4.9M (Table 26.1).
The
recommended programs should be completed in the next 12 to 15 months.
