FORTE MINERALS RECEIVES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (DIA) APPROVAL FOR ITS PUCARINI HIGH SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL GOLD PROJECT, SOUTHERN PERU

Forte Minerals Corp. has received environmental impact statement (DIA) approval for its 100-per-cent-owned Pucarini gold project, a high-sulphidation epithermal gold system located in the department of Puno in southern Peru. The company is delighted to be awarded the DIA approval by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) after more than two years of environmental baseline studies, archeological assessments, social engagement and government processing. The DIA is an extensive environmental authorization that enables the company to drill up to 40 platforms over a five-year timeline. The final drill permit will be delivered by MINEM upon completion of the prior consultation process (consulta previa) with the local indigenous communities.

Pucarini comprises 1,000 hectares of prospective ground for high-sulphidation epithermal gold mineralization. This property has been the company's primary focus for gold exploration (for additional information, please see the technical report prepared for the property with an effective date of Feb. 15, 2021, as filed on the company's SEDAR+ profile). The project contains multiple gold-bearing advanced argillic alteration zones within a larger 3.6-kilometre-by-1.8-kilometre argillic alteration footprint. These zones coincide with anomalous gold in soil and rock geochemistry grading up to 6.89 grams per tonne gold and 2.6 grams per tonne silver as well as a strong resistivity and chargeability IP (induced polarization) geophysical anomaly.

Patrick Elliott, Forte's president and chief executive officer, commented: "This is an outstanding project with the key elements of a productive high-sulphidation epithermal gold system. The DIA approval is a significant milestone, and we are thrilled to have an opportunity to maiden drill test this property."

The argillic and advanced argillic alteration zones on the property were recognized by GlobeTrotters Resources Peru SAC as a high-priority alteration target compiled from the in-house processing of Aster satellite imagery for the entire Peruvian Cordillera. The Aster processing proved highly effective at mapping out hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblages associated porphyry copper and high-sulphidation epithermal gold systems.

Mr. Elliott commented: "GlobeTrotters' project generation process is very intuitive and takes multiple years to explore and advance targets to the drill-ready stage. It has been very effective in the discovery of several highly prospective projects, including our Pucarini gold project and Element 29's Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit."

The company completed an extensive surface exploration program in 2021, which included geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys. The induced polarization geophysical survey lines were positioned over the strongest mineralization and alteration as recognized from preceding surface mapping and geochemical sampling programs. Four priority exploration targets were interpreted from the exploration program, which will be drilled as the next step in testing the subsurface for economic gold mineralization.

An initial four-hole drilling program is planned to test these targets with more than 1,000 metres of core drilling.

Drill hole DH_P01 is designed to test the north end of the north-trending chargeability anomaly at target area A, where it coinides with a resistivity anomaly and a domain of strong demagnetization. This hole will be collared near outcrops of hydrothermal breccia containing approximately 5 per cent fine-grained disseminated pyrite.

Drill hole DH_P02 is positioned to test a northwest-trending zone defined by abundant hydrothermal breccias and vuggy silica ledges within zones of advanced argillic alteration in target area A. This hole will be located where the vein zone intersects the north-trending chargeability anomaly and coincident resistivity anomaly.

Drill hole DH_P03 is designed to test beneath the cluster of rock-chip samples that returned anomalous gold values in target area B that coincide with advanced argillic alteration and a resistivity anomaly on the west flank of the north-trending chargeability anomaly.

Drill hole DH_P04 is positioned to test the large resistivity anomaly in target area C near the east flank of the north-trending chargeability anomaly, where it intersects the northern margin of the northwest-trending zone of alteration.

ESG (environmental, social and governance) and sustainability

Forte understands Peru's environmental and cultural nuances from years of experience operating in the country, setting the company apart from its peers. The company is working with an experienced environmental consulting firm supported by a dedicated in-house social engagement team to ensure that its exploration, permitting and community outreach activities comply and foster mutual respect and beneficial synergies with local communities.

The company's recent alliance with Social Suite, a specialized ESG software for junior exploration and mining entities, simplifies data management and boosts ESG reporting. This initiative will heighten transparency, effective stakeholder communication and a more significant investor impact.

Mike Carter's recent appointment as the company's lead energy adviser elevates Forte's ESG efforts. His seasoned insights will shape Forte's community-focused projects, synchronizing them with global norms and local expectations.

Forte's priority remains the exploration and discovery of essential new copper and gold deposits, but it also aspires to redefine ESG and sustainability standards within the junior mining sector.

About Pucarini

Pucarini is an early-stage, high-sulphidation epithermal gold project located in Lampa province, department of Puno. The 1,000-hectare concession is 43 kilometres from Juliaca, the region's largest commercial centre. The property is 100 per cent owned by Forte with a 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty held by GlobeTrotters Resource Group Inc.

Pucarini is situated in the southern segment of the Miocene epithermal gold belt, which is the host to large Miocene-aged high-sulphidation gold deposits in northern Peru, including Pierina, Yanacocha and Alto Chicama/Lagunas Norte.

GlobeTrotters acquired the property through the Peruvian auction process in 2018 and transferred ownership to Forte in 2020 under a share purchase agreement. Prior to GlobeTrotters, Teck Resources Peru SAC held the property and carried out preliminary mapping and sampling programs between 2011 and 2015. Teck relinquished the property in 2016 without completing a drill program. Forte continued exploration by completing detailed surface geological and alteration mapping, magnetic, induced polarization and resistivity geophysical surveys, and a soil geochemical survey.

The property is underlain by a thick volcanic succession comprising Miocene andesite to dacite pyroclastic rocks and lava flows assigned to the Sillapaca formation. Geological mapping outlined extensive argillic hydrothermal alteration measuring approximately 3.6 kilometres by 1.8 kilometres, which encloses smaller zones of gold-bearing advanced argillic alteration. Outcrop sampling returned up to 6.89 grams per tonne gold and 2.6 grams per tonne silver associated with hydrothermal breccias and vuggy silica ledges within zones of advanced argillic alteration. Geological, geophysical and geochemical evidence combine to establish drill targets at 100 metres to 250 metres below surface across the property.
