PJ Murphy, CEO of Forge Resources, states: "2025 marked a transformational year for the Alotta Project. Our highly successful drill program expanded the zones of known mineralization and delivered great new across the property. We are extremely pleased that every drill hole completed to date has intersected mineralization, with several showing significant widths. Gold enrichment at the Payoff Zone, including visible gold, and the discovery at the Alimony Zone - 800 metres to the west - are highly encouraging. 2026 will be a formative year for the program, as we push forward with expanding known mineralization over the coming months to effectively explore the very large system at Alotta."

2025 Diamond Drilling Summary
A total of 2685.66 m of drilling in 9 drill holes were completed by the Company in 2025. Drill hole location data these holes are listed in Table 2. The program was 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 (Figures 3 and 4). 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.

Alimony Zone (totalling 312 m, 1 hole)
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. Alteration, overall, is less than observed at other locations on the property; however, broad zones of gold mineralization were intersected in the upper 150 m of the drill (Table 3; Figure 5). Mineralization is believed to be associated with the discrete veining, in addition to higher-grade polymetallic quartz sulphide veins (Photo 1 and 2).

Payoff Zone (2618.75 m over 7 holes)
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 (Table 3; Photos 3 to 5; Figures 6 to 8), including visible gold that was observed in all 2025 holes in the zone (Photo 6).
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 (Figure 9). 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 (Table 2). All of which indicate significant potential for expanding mineralization.

Severance Zone (1803.91 m over 5 holes)
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 (Table 5; Figure 10). 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.

Commission Zone (totalling 611 m over 2 holes)
Similar to the Alimony Zone, 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 (Table 7; Figure 12).
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 (Photo 9).
The second hole at the Commission (ALT-25-015) was designed to test the eastern extent of mineralization. The hole collared into variably altered granodiorite approximately 200 m east of hole ALT-25-014. Although the hole did intersect mineralization, it appears to be related to relatively discrete polymetallic quartz and quartz-carbonate veins (Photo 9).
The increase in copper grade at the Commission Zone is encouraging and provides an intriguing target for the 2026 program.
- Final exploration results from the Commission Zone (two drill holes, totalling 611 metres) discovered widespread elevated copper grades, supporting the presence of a potential copper-bearing system. Highlights results include:
| ALT-25-014: | 113.94 m grading 0.166 g/t Au, 1.00 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu and 0.008% Mo
Including 20.67 m of 0.26 g/t Au, 1.39 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu and 0.007% Mo
And 76.86 m of 0.175 g/t Au, 1.06 g/t Ag, 0.046% Cu and 0.010% Mo |
| ALT-25-015: | 9.55 m grading 0.23 g/t Au, 0.03% Cu and higher-grade intervals including
0.6 m grading 1.52 g/t Au, 1.12 g/t Ag and 0.018% Cu |

Proximity to Measured and Indicated Resources
The Alotta property lies in west-central Yukon within the Dawson Range Gold Belt (DRGB), an area known for significant mineral deposits such as the Casino, Coffee Gold, White Gold and Klaza. The property's geology suggests a Late Cretaceous gold-rich porphyry system similar to other DRGB sites. Alotta comprises 230 claims over about 4,723 hectares and shares geological features with the Casino deposit, which is located 50 km north and is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold porphyries globally.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Analytical work was completed by ALS Canada Ltd., with sample delivery in Whitehorse, Yukon, sample preparation in Langley, British Columbia, and geochemical analysis in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
Rigorous procedures are in place regarding sample collection and data entry. Certified assay standards, coarse reject duplicates, field duplicates and blanks were routinely inserted into the sample stream to ensure integrity of the assay process. All of the results reported have passed the QA/QC screening. Core was sampled using a diamond core saw, with half of each interval sent to the lab for analysis and the other half retained.
Half-core samples were fine-crushed and a 250 g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was determined for core samples using a 50 g charge by fire assay followed by an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish (Au-AA24). The fine fraction was analyzed for 48 elements using a four acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma combined with mass spectroscopy and atomic emission spectroscopy finish (ME-MS61)
Fire assay screen analysis was completed using a 1 kg sample size screened to -106 microns. Oversize material was analyzed in entirety by fire assay with gravimetric finish. A 30 g assay of the undersized material was analyzed in duplicate by fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Results of the oversize and undersize assays were combined to provide the final reported number in this release.
