Vancouver, BC – May 15, 2024 – Forge Resources Corp. (“FRG” or the “Company”) (CSE: FRG – OTCQB: BNNHF – FRA: 5YZ) is pleased to announce the commencement comprehensive soil studies and pilot drilling at La Estrella, fully permitted coal project in Santander, Colombia.

The Company has embarked on a significant phase of its development project, initiating soil studies in collaboration with Construterra S.A.S. The primary objective is to characterize the area and determine the stratigraphic profile of the subsoil, crucial for the forthcoming exploratory and bulk sampling program.

Key aspects of the soil studies include:

• Technical report detailing soil study findings and recommendations for foundation suitability and construction parameters.
• Geological, geomorphological, and geological-structural characterization of the study area.
• Soil classification according to NSR-10 standards, identifying any special subsoil conditions and recommending relevant control measures.
• Drilling of six boreholes at different points in the study area using the SPT Percussion Drilling method as per INV E-111-07 standards.

In addition to the soil studies, the Company will conduct pilot drilling, scheduled to commence on or around May 28 2024, and will involve drilling a minimum of 170 linear meters of surface drilling in diameter HQ3, at an angle of -8º. The purpose of this drilling is to understand the soil conditions of the decline to be developed for the coal bulk sampling program and to guide future decline development.

Simultaneously, Geominas SA has completed work on the platform for the project, including final topography and earthmoving activities. Preparation works have also begun at the proposed portal area, laying the groundwork for drilling and eventual construction of the portal for the decline development.

Cole McClay CEO states: "This marks a significant step forward in our development project, the comprehensive soil studies and pilot drilling will provide us with crucial insights as we progress towards the next phase of our project."
