F2T Forsys Metals Corp

Forsys is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s Norasa Uranium project (“Norasa1”) with interim results from its 2024 Resource Extension and Exploration target drilling program at Valencia (ML 149).

Highlights

• A total of 4,332 metres in 32 boreholes have been completed since the drilling program commenced in February 2024. To date, assays from 21 boreholes have been received and 2,599 down-hole metres have been gamma surveyed.
• Borehole VA24-022 intersected the widest grade interval, returning an average of 194 ppm U3O8 over a 232 m interval, drilled down plunge from surface, including 43 m at 416 ppm U3O8.

The drilling program strategy is to expand and upgrade the Valencia resources, adjacent to the main pit and to the north and northeast of the pit. Six areas of mineralisation potential were delineated from exploration work that includes aerial photo interpretation; geological mapping; aeromagnetic surveys; airborne radiometric and ground scintillometer surveys; and review of historic drilling data. Drilling aims to assess mineralisation extension potential at two targets in the vicinity of the Valencia Main pit and to test the potential of four targets to the north and east of the pit (see Figure 1).

A total of 60 boreholes for 8,512 metres of combined percussion and diamond drilling have been scheduled for this program. Twenty-two of the first percussion drill holes, including 2 diamond drill extensions, intersected uranium mineralisation. Four PQ diameter diamond holes are underway at Valencia main to retrieve metallurgical samples.

Valencia Main Pit Extension DrillingDrilling has focused on two zones, to date, that have the potential to extend the Valencia Main deposit: at Valencia West and at Valencia South, to depths of up to 380 metres below surface. Completed and planned collar locations are shown with a ground scintillometer background in Figure 1.

The resource extension drill program tested potential targets adjacent to the main pit and includes:

• Valencia West extension was tested with 18 boreholes, on 80 m spaced sections, over 900 m strike length, and six infill holes immediately west of the Valencia Main pit (Figure 1).
  • Downhole scintillometer survey results were received from 17 of these boreholes.
  • Eighteen of the Valencia West boreholes have been assayed by XRF method and all returned positive confirmation of uranium mineralisation.
• Valencia South is a down-plunge extension to the main deposit being tested with a grid of eight boreholes. Borehole VA24-022, intersected 232 metres at 194 ppm U3O8 from surface to the end of the percussion drill pre-collar. Mineralisation occurs within the Valencia Main inferred resource shell reported with current, 40 ppm U3O8 cutoff. Depth extensions to the percussion holes are being tested with diamond drill tails.

Valencia Exploration DrillingThe neighbouring exploration target drill program is planned to identify additional resource potential at the Jolie Zone, Valencia East, Bundu, and Valencia North (Figure 1). Twenty-eight boreholes are scheduled, comprising 2,280 metres of drilling across the four targets:

• Jolie Zone occurs about 600 m north of the Valencia pit and to date three boreholes have been completed. Assay results from all three boreholes confirm uranium mineralisation, with the best intersection of 185 ppm U3O8 over 41 metres in VA24-019.
• The Valencia East deposit occurs about 500 m northeast of the main pit. Fourteen boreholes are planned to test the existing resource and to potentially extend the deposit.
• Mineralised granite was discovered about 1 km northeast of the main pit. The zone is named the Bundu Zone, where an initial three boreholes are planned.
• The Valencia North prospect is located about 1 km north of the Valencia pit and is presently being tested with three boreholes.

Drilling Progress and HighlightsTable-1 below provides details of the recent boreholes completed:

• A total of 4,332 metres have been drilled in 32 holes and 2,599 metres of downhole survey are completed. Twenty-two boreholes have been assayed by XRF.
• Multiple zones of alaskite intrusions were intersected with downhole scintillometer surveys and chemical assays confirming uranium mineralisation in all the probed boreholes, to date.
• Large-diameter, PQ, diamond drilling continues to retrieve geo-metallurgical sample material from the Valencia Main deposit.
• The best mineralised intercept is in borehole VA24-022, drilled at Valencia South with 232 metres of continuous intersection, sub-parallel to the main direction of mineralisation, from surface, averaging 194 ppm U3O8 (including 43 m at 416 ppm U3O8 to the bottom of the pre-collar percussion hole).
• Borehole VA24-019 at the Jolie Zone intersected 41 metres of mineralisation at 185 ppm U3O8.

QAQCRecent (2023-2024) Sampling and Assays

• Samples were taken from the diamond drill cores and RC chips for geochemical assay guided by the routine downhole radiometric probe results and sent to Trace Elements Analysis Laboratories (Pty) Ltd (“TEA Labs”) at Swakopmund, Namibia for sample preparation and analyses by XRF. For internal quality control purposes TEA Labs has weekly round robins with independent laboratories at Rosh Pinah, Swakop Uranium and Langer Heinrich mines.
• Forsys employs a QAQC program with Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), blanks, coarse duplicates, and pulp duplicates inserted into each batch of samples. The QAQC insert rate comprises 4 % CRMs using three CRM types with different grades of U3O8; 4 % blanks and 8 % to 10 % duplicates. RC sample batches have three types of duplicates; a field duplicate split at the drill rig; a coarse duplicate split at prescribed intervals at the laboratory; and pulp duplicates, also split at the laboratory. Core samples only have coarse and pulp duplicates split at the laboratory.
• Four-percent of the samples sent to TEA Labs are sent for check analyses at SGS Laboratories (SGS) in South Africa, which serves as the independent accredited laboratory. The sample results are further validated by comparison with the radiometric scans.

External Check Assay LaboratoryFour percent of the samples sent to TEA Labs are sent for check analyses to SGS Laboratories (SGS) in South Africa; SGS which serves as the independent accredited laboratory. The sample results are further validated by comparison with the radiometric scans.
