Ellis Martin Report: First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF) Completes 40,000m Drill Program, Confirms Resource Continuity and New Zones

2026-03-30 23:46 ET - News Release

Malibu, CA, United States, Mar 31, 2026 - (ABN Newswire) - Join The Ellis Martin Report for a conversation with John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate Corp. (CNSX:PHOS) (OTCMKTS:FRSPF) (FRA:KD0), as the company advances a vertically integrated, North American supply chain for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

First Phosphate recently secured a C$16.7 million non-repayable contribution from the Government of Canada, reinforcing its role in building a domestic critical minerals ecosystem. The funding supports feasibility work and engineering studies as the company moves toward a final investment decision.

At the same time, the company has completed an expanded 40,000-meter drill program at its flagship Begin-Lamarche project in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. The results confirm strong continuity of high-purity phosphate mineralization and include new discoveries in both northern and southern zones, strengthening the overall geological model.

In this interview, we discuss:

Why LFP batteries are rapidly replacing traditional lithium-ion chemistries
The importance of phosphate as 61% of the LFP battery composition
The strategic need to onshore battery supply chains in North America
Progress toward feasibility and production decisions
The significance of government backing and non-dilutive funding

With strong technical validation, government support, and a clear path forward, First Phosphate is positioning itself as a key player in the future of energy storage, data centers, robotics, mobility, and national security applications.
