Forge Resources Corp. Reports Results Of 2025 Exploration Program And Advances Discoveries At Alotta Project, Yukon
Forge Resources Corp. provided a summary of its 2025 accomplishments and the exploration outlook for the Alotta Project, Yukon. The company revised minor adjustments to reported sample interval lengths originally disclosed on December 16, 2025, with no changes made to the reported composite gold grades. Highlights include the Playoff Zone ALT-25-012 composite of 78.00 metres of 2.01 g/tonne gold, the 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, and Commission Zone first drill holes expanding known porphyry style mineralization to over 3 km. The company completed 2,685.66 metres of diamond drilling at the Alotta Project in 9 drill holes over two phases, building on previous 6 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, totalling 312 metres) discovered the best zone of gold mineralization to date, with ALT-25-013 returning 112.23 m grading 0.66 g/t Au, including 55.53 m of 1.04 g/t Au and 1.6 m of 25.8 g/t Au. Step-out drilling at the Payoff Zone (now totalling 2,618.75 metres over 7 holes to date) returned continued widespread, near-surface, gold mineralization, delineating a zone of gold enrichment 500 m long trend that is open along strike in both directions. 2025 assay highlights include ALT-25-012: 78 m grading 2.01 g/t Au, including 44.77 m of 3.40 g/t Au, 8.17 m of 17.69 g/t Au and 0.07% Cu, 1.25 m of 105 g/t Au and 0.24% Cu, and 1.15 m of 8.85 g/t Au and 0.08% Cu; ALT-25-008: 118.00 m grading 0.465 g/t Au, including 20.49 m of 0.93 g/t Au and 1.26 m of 9.70 g/t Au; ALT-25-009: 85.27 m grading 0.37 g/t Au, including 53.22 m of 0.48 g/t Au and 32.56 m of 0.57 g/t Au. Exploration drilling at the Severance Zone (now totalling 1,803.91 metres over 5 holes) identified widespread gold and areas of widespread elevated copper mineralization. Mineralization in southern Severance Zone within holes ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011 is similar and approximately 1 km along strike to the east of mineralization at the Payoff Zone. Highlight results include ALT-25-007: 300.72 m grading 0.22 g/t Au, 0.48 g/t Ag and 0.03% Cu, including 162.32 m of 0.23 g/t Au, 0.71 g/t Ag and 0.034% Cu, 21.54 m of 0.341 g/t Au, 1.47 g/t Ag and 0.042% Cu, and 53.48 m of 0.452 g/t Au; ALT-25-010: 31.71 m grading 0.361 g/t Au; ALT-25-011: 30.59 m grading 0.339 g/t Au, 59.97 m of 0.346 g/t Au, and 26.12 m of 0.415 g/t Au. The company completed a total of 2,685.66 m of drilling in 9 drill holes in 2025, 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 was able to successfully test most surface showings, with 2025 holes drilled into the Severance, Payoff, Alimony and Commission zones. These zones are very wide-spread but consistently returned altered and mineralized bedrock confirming a very large system underlies the Alotta property. Phase II of the 2025 program saw the first ever hole drilled into the Alimony Zone and returned a significant new gold discovery. The hole drilled entirely through variably altered granodiorite that was cut by widespread, discrete, quartz and quartz-carbonate veins with associated sulphide mineralization. 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 significant 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 (Holes ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011) 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 significant potential for expanding mineralization. The Severance Zone is a large (approximately 400 x 400 m) area that is defined by overlapping gold, copper and molybdenum geochemical soil anomaly. Two holes were drilled into the zone in 2024 and intersected strongly altered porphyry with broad 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 strongly 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 strongly altered porphyry and granodiorite, with significant intervals of brecciation within the granodiorite. Brecciation is coincident with pervasive biotite alteration, which appears to be overprinted by intense 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 very 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 strongly altered and veined porphyry with disseminated, vein hosted and fracture hosted sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite). Quartz veins with centre-line sulphides are commonly overprinted by sulphide filled fractures.
