Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 5, 2024) - Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: BNNHF) (FSE: 5YZ) ("FRG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the first 2024 planned drill hole at Alotta, showing porphyry style mineralization. The continuation of the Phase 1 drilling program is on schedule. Hole ALT-24-001 has now been completed with diamond drilling to a depth of 402 metres. Hole ALT-24-002 is now underway and is also located in the Payoff Zone area.

Hole ALT-24-001 located at proposed drill site PDH-001 and the first hole to drill test the Payoff Zone. The hole azimuth/dip: 135 / -50 degrees and final depth of 402 metres tested underneath Payoff Zone, where strongly anomalous rock samples (up to 8.7 g/t gold) were sampled over a 200 x 300 m area.

Visually, ALT-24-001 appears to have a higher concentration of pyrite stringers than what was observed in two November 2023 drillholes. In November 2023 two drill holes were completed on the property which confirmed the porphyry style nature of mineralization. As announced on February 24, 2024, Hole ALT-23-01 intercepted 211.65 metres of 0.46 grams/tonne gold from the first ever diamond drill hole on the property.

ALT-24-001 Drill collar has been placed near the ridgetop to drill south, below the target. This topography allows the drill hole to maintain a near-surface (~100 metres) path and reach its final depth, approximately 200 metres below surface, giving adequate ability to test near-surface mineralization at the Payoff Zone.

• Core logging and geotechnical studies to the 200-metre interval indicates the core hosts continuous mineralization consisting of common sulphide stringers with trace occurrences of chalcopyrite and molybdenite.

• Core is primarily exhibiting pervasive chlorite alteration which overprints red-brown alteration. Several intrusions of the quartz porphyry are observed and generally identified through the concentration of phenocrysts as well as the size and shape of quartz phenocrysts.

Lorne Warner, President, and P.Geo for Forge Resources Corp., comments, " Systematic exploration indicated the Alotta to have the potential to host a large porphyry deposit and our very limited drilling to date is confirming that potential. The spring program is testing never before drilled targets over a large area and if successful, it will prove Alotta's potential to host a large potential deposit in close proximity to one of the largest, undeveloped porphyry deposits in the world, the Casino deposit."

Figure 2 outlines the high priority target areas within the Alotta property with potential gold-copper-molybdenum, porphyry style mineralization. None of these target areas have been drill tested. In November 2023 two drill holes (ALT-23-001 and ALT-23-002) were completed on the property which confirmed the porphyry style nature of mineralization.

The Alotta property consists of 96 mineral claims that cover approximately 1,926 hectares that is located 50 km south-east of Western Copper and Gold's Casino deposit. The Casino deposit is one of the most economic, greenfield copper-gold mining projects in the world which is ranked as one of the top ten largest, undeveloped, copper-gold porphyry deposits in the world. Western Copper and Gold announced on April 30, 2024, the completion of their bought deal public offering with gross proceeds of $46 million. Subsequently, on May 6, 2024, they announced the completion of a further $5 million financing with Rio Tinto.
