Vancouver, British Columbia — January 15, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) has released a summary of its 2025 accomplishments and exploration outlook for the Alotta Project in the Yukon. The company is building on the results from its 2025 exploration program and is positioned to advance discoveries at the Alotta property.
The company revised its report to reflect minor adjustments to reported sample interval lengths originally disclosed on December 16, 2025. The company said there were no changes to the reported composite gold grades.
CEO of Forge Resources, PJ Murphy, said that 2025 marked a transformational year for the Alotta Project. Murphy added that the company’s drill program expanded the zones of known mineralization. Every drill hole has intersected mineralization, with several showing significant widths. Gold enrichment at the Payoff Zone, including visible gold, and the discovery at the Alimony Zone are encouraging. Murphy said that 2026 will be a formative year for the program, as the company pushes forward with expanding known mineralization to explore the system at Alotta.
Highlights:
Playoff Zone ALT-25-012 composite of 78.00 metres of 2.01 g/tonne gold remains unchanged
Alimony Zone discovery hole ALT-25-013 composite of 112.23 metres of 0.66 grams/tonne gold, including 55.53 m of 1.04 g/t Au and 1.6 m of 25.8 g/t Au, remains unchanged
Commission Zone first drill holes expand known porphyry style mineralization to over 3 km
Completed 2685.66 metres of diamond drilling at the Alotta Project in nine drill holes over two phases building on previous six drill holes from 2023 and 2024 campaigns for a total of 15 holes across the property.
Exploration drilling at the Alimony Zone (one drill hole, totaling 312 metres) discovered the best zone of gold mineralization to date. Highlight results include:

The company said the success of the 2025 program has positioned it to refine existing mineralization and pursue new targets ahead of the 2026 field season. The information collected so far will help create a geological model and strengthen the foundation for understanding mineralization on the property.
A total of 2685.66 m of drilling in nine drill holes were completed by the company in 2025. The program was designed to follow up on mineralization discovered in previous 2023 and 2024 programs and to expand drilling to other known showings on the property. Surface expression of mineralization includes overlapping of gold, copper and molybdenum soil geochemical anomalies that is over 4 km in length and nearly 2 km wide. The company tested most surface showings, with 2025 holes drilled into the Severance, Payoff, Alimony and Commission zones. These zones are wide-spread but returned altered and mineralized bedrock confirming a system underlies the Alotta property.
Phase II of the 2025 program saw the first hole drilled into the Alimony Zone and returned a gold discovery. The hole drilled through variably altered granodiorite that was cut by quartz and quartz-carbonate veins with associated sulphide mineralization. Alteration, overall, is less than observed at other locations on the property; however, broad zones of gold mineralization were intersected in the upper 150 m of the drill. Mineralization is believed to be associated with the discrete veining, in addition to higher-grade polymetallic quartz sulphide veins.
2025 drilling at the Payoff Zone was designed to confirm the presence gold mineralization, first discovered in 2023 drilling and to test its continuity at depth. Holes at the Payoff Zone intersected alteration and sulphide mineralization, including visible gold that was observed in all 2025 holes in the zone.
Preliminary modeling of the Payoff Zone indicates continuous gold mineralization across an east-west trending zone approximately 500 m long and open in both directions. Similar mineralization is found along strike at the southern Severance Zone with approximately 800 m of untested ground between the two zones. To the west, surface geochemistry continues, with the farthest step out to date in hole ALT-25-12, which returned strong gold grades over substantial widths. All of which indicate potential for expanding mineralization.
Two holes were drilled into the Severance Zone in 2024 and intersected altered porphyry with zones of moderate gold mineralization. In 2025, three holes were drilled into the Severance Zone, one (ALT-25-007) close to the surface expression of the main Severance Zone, and two (ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011), approximately 300 m to the south.
Hole ALT-25-007 returned an increase in copper grades in the upper parts of the hole, that was associated with altered and veined quartz-feldspar porphyry. Copper grades fall off near the bottom of the hole; however, an increase in gold grades occurs.
Holes ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011 drilled through altered porphyry and granodiorite, with intervals of brecciation within the granodiorite. Brecciation is coincident with pervasive biotite alteration, which appears to be overprinted by silicification. This is reminiscent of alteration and brecciation observed in drill holes from the Payoff Zone, and similarly, gold grades from holes 010 and 011 show sustained grades over broad intervals. The distance to the Payoff Zone is approximately 800 m, making the open ground between the south Severance and Payoff zones an intriguing target for 2026.
The 2025 program saw the first holes drilled at the Commission Zone, a move of approximately one kilometre east of any other hole at the property. The two holes drilled into the Commission Zone targeted an overlapping copper, gold and molybdenum geochemical anomaly and coincident chargeability highs and resistivity lows. Although gold grades from the initial holes at the Commission Zone are not as high as those from other targets on the property, copper grades increase, especially in hole ALT-25-014.
Hole ALT-25-014 drilled through altered and veined porphyry with disseminated, vein hosted and fracture hosted sulphides. Quartz veins with centre-line sulphides are commonly overprinted by sulphide filled fractures.
The second hole at the Commission (ALT-25-015) was designed to test the eastern extent of mineralization. The hole collared into variably altered granodiorite approximately 200 m east of hole ALT-25-014. Although the hole did intersect mineralization, it appears to be related to discrete polymetallic quartz and quartz-carbonate veins.
The increase in copper grade at the Commission Zone is encouraging and provides an intriguing target for the 2026 program.
Final exploration results from the Commission Zone (two drill holes, totalling 611 metres) discovered elevated copper grades, supporting the presence of a potential copper-bearing system. Highlights results include:
ALT-25-014:
113.94 m grading 0.166 g/t Au, 1.00 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu and 0.008% Mo
Including 20.67 m of 0.26 g/t Au, 1.39 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu and 0.007% Mo
And 76.86 m of 0.175 g/t Au, 1.06 g/t Ag, 0.046% Cu and 0.010% Mo
ALT-25-015:
9.55 m grading 0.23 g/t Au, 0.03% Cu and higher-grade intervals including
0.6 m grading 1.52 g/t Au, 1.12 g/t Ag and 0.018% Cu
The Alotta property lies in west-central Yukon within the Dawson Range Gold Belt (DRGB). Alotta comprises 230 claims over about 4,723 hectares and shares geological features with the Casino deposit, which is located 50 km north and is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold porphyries globally.
Analytical work was completed by ALS Canada Ltd., with sample delivery in Whitehorse, Yukon, sample preparation in Langley, British Columbia, and geochemical analysis in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
