Forsys Metals begins drilling at Norasa

Mr. Richard Parkhouse reports

FORSYS PROVIDES UPDATE FOR THE NORASA PROJECT, NAMIBIA, COMMENCEMENT OF DRILL PROGRAM

Forsys Metals Corp. has commenced an updated drilling program at the company's Norasa uranium project sites, located in Namibia, Africa. The Norasa project is wholly owned by the company's subsidiary Valencia Uranium Pty. Ltd. and comprises the Valencia uranium project (ML149) and the Namibplaas uranium project (EPL 3638) in the Erongo region of Namibia.

With the advancement of metallurgical, engineering and mining technology since drilling work was last undertaken for the Norasa project's definitive feasibility study in 2015, the company has started a 4,100-metre drilling program, which commenced on March 31, 2023. This program aims to retrieve fresh samples at depths of up to 420 metres from the slope areas for both the planned mining pits at Valencia and Namibplaas.

The focus of the drilling program is:

  • Geotechnical logging and sampling for geomechanical testing for optimizing pit designs;
  • Testing the continuity of mineralization for optimized resource modelling;
  • Sampling for metallurgical test work and for optimized processing design and resource block modelling of the orebodies.

One reverse circulation (RC) drill rig and one diamond core (DC) drill rig are presently on ML-149, with a second DC rig scheduled to come to site. Additional drill locations will be required for further in-depth studies and for a proven geotechnical design status.

The attached table exhibits detail the drilling work that is planned. The planned timeline is approximately two months for completion of the RC drilling and about three months for the DC drilling.

The company holds a 25-year mining licence (ML-149) for its Valencia deposit, which is currently valid until 2033. A separate mining licence (ML-251) was applied for in September, 2022, for the Namibplaas deposit.
