FORTE MINERALS PROVIDES UPDATES ON ALTO RURI AND PUCARINI PROJECTS, PERU

Forte Minerals Corp. is advancing community engagement and permitting at the Alto Ruri project located approximately 15 kilometres from Barrick's past-producing Pierina gold mine. The company's focus is to secure a long-term community agreement to systematically explore the high-sulphidation epithermal gold system at Alto Ruri. This district-scale system includes a two-kilometre-by-1.5-kilometre advanced argillic alteration zone that has never been systematically tested with modern geophysics and drilling.

Historical drilling at Alto Ruri by Compania de Minas Buenaventura in 1997 (12 holes and 2,254.5 metres), as reported in the company's news release from March 4, 2024, confirmed high-grade gold potential, including:

• Hole 001-97, which returned 131 metres of 2.55 grams per tonne gold, including 54 metres of 5.39 g/t Au.

Several high-resistivity CSAMT geophysical anomalies from historical geophysical data1 are also interpreted as potential untested gold-bearing vuggy silica alteration targets at depth.

Forte also announces the completion of a five-hole, 1,530-metre exploration drill program at its 100-per-cent-owned Pucarini high-sulphidation gold project in southern Peru. Drilling confirmed the presence of the targeted hydrothermal system. Assay results returned anomalous gold, copper and molybdenum values in one drill hole, with no significant mineralization intersected in the remaining four holes. Equipment has been demobilized, and environmental remediation will be completed.

Management commentary

"Pucarini presented a robust surface anomaly that warranted a first-pass test. We are proud of our team's ability to execute a safe, cost-effective program at Pucarini. Our primary strategic focus remains on advancing the historically discovered Alto Ruri high-sulphidation gold project," stated Patrick Elliott, president and chief executive officer of Forte Minerals.

Backed by two recent strategic investors and a strengthened balance sheet, Forte is well positioned to execute on its 2026 exploration goals at Alto Ruri and evaluate additional opportunities across its copper-gold portfolio.
