Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2026) - Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) (" FRG " or the " Company "), is pleased to announce initial targets and objectives for its anticipated 5000 metre 2026 diamond drilling campaign at the Alotta Project, located within Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt (Figure 1). The initial round of drilling will comprise approximately 2,500 metres across eight holes, testing at least four targets, with mobilization scheduled for May 25, 2026, and will test newly identified geophysical targets that are interpreted to have strong gold-copper porphyry potential.

Highlights:

Diamond drilling will test several newly identified geophysical targets for gold-copper porphyry potential at the Payoff, Severance and Commission zones.

78.00 m grading 1.31 g/t gold

76.86 m grading 0.18 g/t gold with 0.046% copper

53.96 m grading 0.28 g/t gold with 0.047% copper

Step-out drilling is planned at the Payoff Zone to expand significant drill intercepts of gold mineralization.

Step-out drilling is planned at the Alimony Zones to follow up on results from discovery hole ALT-25-013,

73.32 m grading 0.82 g/t gold, including 36.04 m grading 1.41 g/t gold

PJ Murphy, CEO of Forge Resources, states: "Integration of new geophysical and geochemical data into our geological interpretations has allowed us to generate some highly compelling targets at the Alotta project. With mobilization imminent, we are excited to announce a drill plan that is focused on the discovery of what is driving the extensive mineralization we have found on the property to date. Our team believes in the potential for the Alotta Project to host the next copper-porphyry deposit in Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt and we are well positioned to unlock that potential in 2026."

Payoff Zone:

The Payoff Zone is an area of strongly anomalous rock and soil samples that is part of a 4.5 by 1.7 km long gold-copper-molybdenum±arsenic anomaly, which has returned up to 8.73 g/t gold from rock samples and 1965 ppb gold from soil samples. The area coincides with an east-west elongated 1.5 km long chargeability and resistivity anomaly, and cluster of magnetic high features that are enveloped by magnetic lows, which are often characteristics recognized in many porphyry systems.

The Company has outlined two objectives at the Payoff Zone:

3D magnetic inversion data (see news release dated May 13, 2026) has outlined a compelling magnetic body to the west of previous drilling at the Payoff Zone. This anomaly lies along the flanks of widespread gold mineralization and may represent a magmatic source responsible for the widespread mineralization at the Payoff Zone (Figure 3).

Step out drilling to expand the mineralized footprint of the Payoff Zone to the south and north of existing drilling. To date, drilling has identified widespread gold mineralization across ~500 by 150 m area, (Table 1) which remains open in all directions.

Severance Zone:

The core of the Severance Zone is a 550 by 450 m area defined by an overlapping gold, copper and molybdenum soil geochemical anomaly, which has also returned up to 1.21 g/t gold and 0.35% copper from rock samples. The area coincides with discrete chargeability and resistivity anomalies, and a discrete circular magnetic high feature enveloped by a magnetic low (Figure 2). To date, only five drill holes have been completed, spaced across 650 m.

Step out drilling is planned to follow up results from hole ALT-25-007, which returned highly encouraging gold and copper grades over substantial intervals while drilling near the centre of the magnetic feature. This drilling will also test the centre of a prominent magnetic high (Table 2).

Commission Zone:

The Commission Zone is defined by a prominent magnetic high feature that is surrounded by discrete magnetic lows and anomalous gold-copper±molybdenum soil geochemistry (Figure 2).

Diamond drilling in 2026 is planned to test the prominent magnetic high feature that coincides with a 3D magnetic anomaly, located approximately 400 m west of drill hole ALT-25-014, which returned widespread gold and copper mineralization and intense stockwork zones characterized by quartz±pyrite±molybdenite±chalcopyrite within Late Cretaceous porphyritic rocks (Table 3).

Alimony Zone:

The Alimony Zone is characterized by a 400 by 450 m gold-molybdenum soil anomaly that lies along the edges of a circular magnetic anomaly (Figure 2).

Step out drilling is planned to follow up results from hole ALT-25-013, the only drill hole into the Alimony Zone, which returned significant gold grades over long intervals.
