Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 27, 2024) - Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) ("FRG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the overview of the design plans (Figure 1) for the construction of a mine portal at the La Estrella Coal Project, located in Santander, Colombia. The new mine portal will be a critical development milestone for the project, providing essential infrastructure to support the future decline ramp and soil stability necessary for advancing underground bulk sampling mining exploration.

The La Estrella Project, which holds significant coal deposit, represents a key asset in Forge Resources' growth strategy in Colombia. As previously announced on November 20, 2024, Forge has started construction of the mine portal, which is anticipated to facilitate safe and efficient access to deeper coal seams, enabling further exploration, development, and extraction activities.

Forge Resources continues to work closely with local stakeholders and regulatory authorities to ensure that all development activities are conducted in full compliance with Colombian regulations and best practices.

Key Highlights of the Mine Portal Design Plans:

• Underground Access: The portal will provide the initial access point for the construction of the decline ramp, which is necessary for the progression of the underground mining operations at La Estrella.

• Soil Support Infrastructure: The design includes specialized soil support systems that will ensure stability for the portal and the decline development, prioritizing safety and operational efficiency.

• Environmental and Safety Considerations: Forge is committed to adhering to the highest environmental and safety standards in all aspects of the portal construction, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding areas and the health and safety of the workforce.

• Timeline and Next Steps: As previously announced on November 20, 2024, Forge has commenced construction of the mine portal, with the initial stage of decline development slated to begin shortly thereafter.
