Forge Resources commences largest diamond drill campaign at Alotta, Yukon

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2026) - Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) (" FRG " or the " Company "), is pleased to announce the launch of its largest ever diamond drill program, expanding on prior successful campaigns. Located within Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt (Figure 1), the initial program comprises approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling, targeting newly identified geophysical anomalies interpreted to host significant gold-copper porphyry mineralization. Highlights : Camp and drill mobilization has been completed, and diamond drilling is currently underway , marking the start of the 2026 drilling program.

Drilling is underway at the Payoff Zone , targeting a newly identified geophysical anomaly to the north and west of hole ALT-25-012, which returned 78.00 m grading 1.31 g/t gold from hole ALT-25-012 ( see news release dated December 16, 2025 ). The 2026 diamond drilling program will test several newly identified geophysical targets at the Payoff, Severance and Commission zones. These new targets have never been drilled but are believed to have strong gold-copper porphyry potential.

Drilling along the edges of these geophysical targets has returned significant mineralization to date, including 76.86 m grading 0.18 g/t gold with 0.046% copper (Commission Zone, see news release dated January 15, 2026 ) and 53.96 m grading 0.28 g/t gold with 0.047% copper (Severance Zone, see news release dated August 7, 2025 ). Step-out drilling is planned at the Payoff and Alimony Zone to expand significant drill intercepts of gold mineralization. Drill holes at the Payoff Zone will target strong gold and multi-element soil geochemical anomalies to the east and north of drill hole ALT-23-001, which returned 211 m grading 0.47 g/t gold, including 22.45 m grading 1.09 g/t gold ( see news release dated February 29, 2024) .
