FORTE MINERALS GRADUATES TO OTCQX BEST MARKET

Forte Minerals Corp. has commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol FOMNF. Forte has graduated to the OTCQX from the OTCQB Venture Market. This transition marks a significant milestone, placing Forte in the highest level market of the OTC Markets. The OTCQX Best Market designation is reserved for established companies that meet high financial standards, adhere to strict corporate governance practices and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

President and chief executive officer Patrick Elliott commented: "Graduating to the OTCQX is a definitive step in our evolution as we advance our copper and gold portfolio in Peru. For our investors, this move provides significantly greater transparency and a more efficient trading platform. For Forte, it signals that we have reached the institutional grade of the OTC Markets, allowing us to broaden our reach to U.S.-based funds and institutional investors who are often restricted to top-tier markets. We are proud to provide our shareholders with the premium visibility and liquidity that the OTCQX Best Market offers."

The OTCQX advantage: context for investors

The graduation to OTCQX is a quality assurance milestone that differentiates Forte from earlier-stage venture companies.

Trading on the OTCQX removes compliance friction for U.S. broker dealers, allowing a wider pool of professional capital to participate in Forte's growth.
