Forge Resources Announces Completion of Phase 1 Drill Program and Completion of Private Placement

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 2, 2024) - Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) ("FRG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Forge Resource Corp's Phase 1 diamond drilling program that started in November 2023 is now complete with the successful completion of 6 holes, each ranging between 420-502 metres in length. Additionally, further to its news release dated June 14, 2024, the Company has completed its non-brokered flow-through private placement.

All geotechnical and geological data has now been collected. All holes are sampled top to bottom with the majority of sample batches have already been submitted to the ALS prep-lab in Whitehorse. Significantly, higher molybdenum and +/- chalcopyrite concentrations and more quartz veining, micro-veining and stockworks were encountered in this year's drilling than in November 2023.

  • Significant porphyry style rock types, alteration and mineralization were encountered in all holes.
  • Majority of the rock types are sparse to semi-crowded to crowded porphyry intrusives related to the Dawson Range.
  • Pervasive brown biotite alteration with extensive silicification overprinting is occurring in all holes.

Assay results are pending.

Phase 2 diamond drilling program is being proposed for this summer when all assays have been received and analysed from the Phase 1 program. It is anticipated that further drilling will be required in areas previously tested. Additional high-quality target areas not yet drill tested will be included in the next drilling program.

Private Placement

The Company is issuing 687,500 units at a price of $0.80 per unit (each a "Unit") for an aggregate gross proceeds of $550,000, with each Unit consisting of one flow-through common share (each a "Share") and one transferable non-flow-through share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one non-flow-through common share of the Company ("Warrant Share") at a price of $1.10 per Warrant Share for a period of one year from the date of issuance.

The Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and the expenditures will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act).

Upon the closing of the Private Placement, the Company will pay a finders fee split evenly amongst two finders (the "Finders") as follows: (i) a cash commission in the amount of $15,000 each, equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement attributable to the Finders; and (ii) 18,750 each in non-transferrable warrants of the Company ("Finders Warrants"), equal to 3% of the Units issued in the Private Placement attributable to the Finders. Each Finder Warrant will be exercisable for one Warrant Share at a price of $1.10 per Warrant Share for a period of one year from the date of issuance.

The gross proceeds from the Units will be utilized for incurring "Canadian exploration expenses" and "flow-through mining expenditures" (as defined in the Tax Act). The gross proceeds from the sale of Units will be used for general exploration expenditures on the Alotta Project.
