FRG: Phase 1 Drill Program Complete at Alotta, Phase 2 Starting
What you need to know:
• FRG announced the final assay results from the two remaining holes of its Phase 1 five-hole diamond drill program.
• The two holes intersected strong Au-Cu porphyry style mineralization, with hole ALT-25-010 intersecting three wide zones of mineralization.
• The La Estrella Coal Project continues to advance with coal extraction expected in Q4/25 by way of its 20,000-ton bulk sample.
• We recently published an interview with CEO PJ Murphy; watch it here.
This morning, Forge Resources Corp. (FRG:CSE, FRGGF:OTC) announced the final assay results from the remaining two drill holes of the Phase 1 diamond drill program at its Alotta property. A total of 1,422.9m across five drill holes was completed in the Phase 1 drill program, with 4,082.9m across 11 drill holes having been completed at the Payoff and Severance zones in 2023. All five drill holes in the Phase 1 program encountered gold-bearing porphyry-style quartz-sulphide veins and widespread alteration, an impressive feat for a small, preliminary exploration program.
We are encouraged by this initial drill program and look forward to FRG beginning its Phase 2 drill program, which is scheduled to begin in September. The Company plans to test the Commission and Alimony targets, two undrilled copper-gold anomalies located 1,000m east and 500m west of current drilling, respectively. We are maintaining our BUY rating and a target price of $1.00/share on FRG.
