Yukon Metals has doubled its land position from an initial 18,000 hectares (ha) acquired as part of the Berdahl property transaction announced Jan 15, 2024, to 36,000 ha after considerable staking over the last few months expanding the initially acquired Yukon portfolio. Areas of focus in this staking program were the high priority AZ property, surrounding its Talbot property, as well as a new set of prospective claims near the Alaska Highway, which has been named "Fairway".

"During these past months, prior to Closing of the acquisition, the Company has been busy staking ground around two key properties, AZ and Talbot, as well as staking new claims at Fairway. AZ is a high-priority potential copper-gold porphyry asset, while Talbot hosts a substantial gold and silver anomaly. Both AZ and Fairway are within 20km of the Alaska Highway," said Rory Quinn, President and Chief Executive Officer. "I look forward to sharing ongoing details of what is going to be a busy exploration season."

AZ & FAIRWAY

The AZ and Fairway claim area was prospected by Ron Berdahl in the early 1990's while working for Noranda (Yukon Assessment 91-051 1991). Copper mineralization is noted on the AZ property; Rock float assays returned an average of 10% Cu, 126 g/t Ag and 7.08 g/t Au from four samples in 1993, noted in assessment report 093101 (press release June 3, 2024). The author further stated, "anomalous copper gold-bearing skarn underneath the float showing suggests a local source for the mineralized float on the property." In this region, small placer operations were active on Sanpete, Pan and Gold Creeks in the 1930's.

On behalf of the Company, prior to Closing, Ron Berdahl staked the area north of the southern AZ claims, which covered an additional 7,625 ha in 372 additional claims (see Figure 1). These claims include a gossanous area on Chair Mountain associated with northwest trending faults near the contact zone of the Nikolai Volcanics. Only 11 samples were taken in this area in 1987. In 1989 prospectors returned and blasted trenches near Sanpete creek and found quartz veining with sulfides. One 25cm sample #62951 (true width unknown) assayed 51 ppb Au, 5.6 ppm Ag, 1,400 ppm Cu, 8,880 ppm Pb and >20,000 ppm Zn (Assessment report 092798). Zinc was never re-assayed.

Another sample in the same trench area assayed 59 ppb Au, 1.2 ppm Ag, 278 ppm Cu, 429 ppm Pb, 13,380 ppm Zn (grab sample #62954). Follow-up work has never been completed in this area.

A similar geological setting occurs with the presence of the volcanic rocks and limestone on the newly staked Fairway Property. This package of mineralization is highly prospective with 10km strike length (see Figure 1) through Nikolai Volcanics and Chitistone Limestone mapped by the Geological Survey of Canada (OF 2188). The Fairway Property adds 2,552 ha in 126 new claims.

Both the entirety of the AZ and Fairway properties are 10 and 18 kilometers respectively from the Alaska Highway and may be accessed by short helicopter flights. Chair Mountain was previously accessed by trail.

TALBOT

Several key factors occur in this area such as a 4km gold in soil and talus fines anomaly. Additionally, there are float quartzite rock samples such as #40868 which assayed 3.67 g/t Au, 832 g/t Ag and 1,800 g/t Cu and float quartzite rock sample #40870 which assayed 3.59 g/t Au. The anomaly and rock samples were noted in assessment report 096342 (press release June 3, 2024). Overall, there is continuity in the geology and other positive ridge and spur samples taken on the Talbot property by Ryan Gold in 2012.

Thus, it became apparent that the Company should stake additional claims in the area to cover the major anomaly and the ridge and spur smaller anomalies. The Company added 370 claims covering an additional 7,689 ha of exploration ground. The additional ground which covers eastward through the psammitic and pelitic schists and the surrounding Ruby Range batholith (Yukon Geological Survey, OF 2011-2). The Ruby Range batholith has numerous porphyry occurrences along with other intrusive rocks in the coastal range plutonic suites (Fonseca and Bradshaw, Open File 2005-5). The Talbot Property is proximal to Burwash Landing and Destruction Bay on the Alaska Highway and is easily accessible by helicopter from nearby roads. Destruction Bay is 260 km west of Whitehorse.

Forge Resources Corp. is pleased to announce the completion of the first two 2024 planned drill holes at Alotta, both showing porphyry style mineralization. The continuation of the Phase 1 drilling program is on schedule with holes ALT-24-001/002 completed to a depth of 402 and 501 metres respectively. Drill hole ALT-24-003 has now commenced, testing the Severance Zone. Hole ALT-24-001 - Azimuth 135/-50 degree dip and the first hole to drill test the Payoff Zone where strongly anomalous rock samples were sampled over a 200 x 300 m area. ALT-24-001 appears to have a higher concentration of pyrite stringers than what was observed in two November 2023 drillholes.
