Forge Resources drills 1.25 m of 105 g/t Au at Alotta

FRG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Forge Resources Corp. reported high-grade gold assay results from its Phase 2 diamond drill program at the Alotta Project in Yukon, specifically from drill hole ALT-25-012.
  • The company intercepted 105 g/t Au over a core length of 1.25 metres in the Payoff Zone, highlighting strong high-grade potential within a broader porphyry system.
  • The release confirms widespread gold-bearing sulphide mineralization and quartz veining across a 500-metre strike length, with additional assay results pending due to laboratory delays.

Key Details

  • Drill Hole ALT-25-012 (Payoff Zone):
    • Intercepted 105 g/t Au over 1.25 metres (core length).
    • True width is unknown; contacts range from 10 to 35 degrees to the core axis.
    • The interval was located at 287.32 m downhole, below the most intense widespread alteration.
    • The intersection consisted of a low-angle (10 to 30 degrees) irregular quartz vein, approximately 10 cm wide, hosting visible gold and bismuthinite, along with disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, molybdenite, and sphalerite.
  • Program Status:
    • Phase 2 drilling is complete with 1,262.75 metres drilled in four drill holes.
    • Five drill holes have been completed in the Payoff zone to date (ALT-23-001/002, ALT-25-008/009/012).
    • Majority of assay results are still pending due to prolonged laboratory delays; a rush analysis was requested for the high-grade interval.
  • Previous Payoff Zone Results:
    • ALT-23-001: 0.46 g/t Au over 211.65 metres starting at 7.38 metres.
    • ALT-25-009: 53.22 metres grading 0.45 g/t Au.
  • Geological Context:
    • Alotta is a gold-enriched porphyry system hosting semi-massive polymetallic sulphide veins and quartz veins overprinting porphyry mineralization.
    • The Payoff zone is within a 2,000-by-500-metre induced polarization, chargeability anomaly.
    • The project is located 50 km southeast of Western Copper and Gold’s Casino deposit.
  • Upcoming Events:
    • Company will participate in the Yukon Geoscience Forum (YGF) from Nov 16-19, 2025.
    • Drill core on display at YGF core shack from Nov 17-19.
    • Technical update by Kelson Willms on Nov 19, 2025, at 9:10 a.m.

Notable Quotes

  • "We are extremely excited by the exceptional high-grade gold results from hole ALT-25-012, which returned 105 g/t Au over 1.25 metres. This intercept highlights the strong high-grade gold potential at Alotta and complements the broader, bulk-tonnage style mineralization at the Payoff zone." — P.J. Murphy, Chief Executive Officer
  • "The consistently strong gold grades and wide mineralized intervals encountered to date further confirm the strength, continuity and scale of this growing gold system, which begins right at surface." — P.J. Murphy, Chief Executive Officer
