Forte Minerals
Overview
When it comes to mining deposits, there’s no denying the potential output Peru has to offer. In 2023, Peru produced 2.6 million metric tons of copper, making it the world’s second-largest producer of copper. Peru was also one of the largest gold producers in 2023, ranking 7th in the world.
The mining-friendly country’s appeal has attracted the likes of several major mining companies, including Southern Copper (NYSE:SCCO), Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX), Hudbay Minerals (NYSE:HBM,TSX:HBM), Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD), Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK), Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO), and many more. As a result, mineral exploration companies with projects in Peru may provide investors with an exciting opportunity for investments into a resource-rich country.
Forte Minerals (CSE:CUAU,FSE:2OA,OTCQB:FOMNF) controls assets acquired from its strategic project generative partner GlobeTrotters Resources Peru SAC and an Alta Copper (TSX:ATCU) option deal to form an attractive portfolio of high-quality copper and gold assets in Peru. These properties combine early-stage and drill-ready targets with a historically discovered and drilled porphyry system that is strategically positioned for copper and gold resource development.
Forte Minerals Portfolio
Forte Minerals has a strong land position of 12,000 hectares in Peru, including the Pucarini, Don Gregorio and Esperanza projects. The Don Gregorio project is a 900-hectare copper and gold porphyry project with gold and copper mineralization occurring on the subsurface. This project is under option by Forte Minerals from Alta Copper (previously Candente Copper), whereby Forte Minerals can acquire a 60-percent interest in Don Gregorio by cash payments of US$500,000 over three years, and 10,000-meter diamond drilling over three years upon receipt of drill permits.
The company’s 100-percent-owned Pucarini project is a gold asset with a high sulfidation epithermal gold target located in Puno, Peru. The Pucarini project consists of 1,000 hectares of primary target claims and 6,100 hectares of regional concessions. The project also has an NI 43-101 Technical Report from February 2021.
The company’s fully owned Esperanza project is a 4,000-hectare copper and molybdenum porphyry project located in the prolific and mining-friendly Paleocene belt of Southern Peru. The Paleocene belt hosts many of the largest existing porphyry copper mines and recent discoveries. The Esperanza project has not yet been tested by drilling but holds exciting exploration potential.
Forte Minerals also acquired the Alto Ruri high sulphidation epithermal gold prospect and the Cerro Quillo porphyry gold-copper-molybdenum prospect from its strategic partner Globetrotters Resource Group. The prospects are situated on a contiguous 4,700-hectare block of concessions that were initially acquired by Globetrotters from Compañía Minera Ares S.A.C. These concessions were transferred to Forte's Peruvian subsidiary, Cordillera Resources Perú S.A.C., in exchange for a one-time cash payment of US$25,000.
The team at Forte Minerals boasts deep-seated roots within Peru's mining and exploration community. With a combined experience surpassing 215 years in exploration and mining throughout the Americas, the company’s standing is anchored by its profound community relationships and consistent track record of exploration successes.
Among the company’s esteemed cohort is a former principal geologist and general manager for Teck Resources in Peru, Manuel Montoya, who now champions Forte Minerals’ projects, ensuring every stage aligns with the highest standards. This addition solidifies the company's commitment to blending international expertise with local understanding.
Understanding the complexities of exploration, Forte Minerals also incorporated a full-time in-house social team. This team is more than just a nod to corporate responsibility – it's a testament to the company’s foundational belief that community ties are as vital as geological prospects and exploration.
In pursuing holistic growth and sustainability, Forte Minerals recently collaborated with Social Suite, signaling the commencement of an insightful ESG (environmental, social and governance) reporting journey. This partnership underscores Forte's vision to set industry benchmarks, especially in community engagement, environmental stewardship and its broader societal obligations.
Forte Minerals isn't just exploring terrains; it’s also pioneering a future where its mission amplifies ESG initiatives. The company’s promise remains unshaken: to strengthen community bonds, champion environmental conservation, and uphold societal commitments with unparalleled vigor.
The company hopes to take advantage of near-surface and underexplored metal endowments that are rich in copper and gold in Peru. Forte Minerals plans to leverage unique targeting methods and an effective alteration identification process. The company also aims to advance its projects with the anticipation of drilling permits and additional exploration and thousands of meters of drilling on its properties.

Forte Minerals Completes Miscanthus Acquisition from Globetrotters Resource Group
Forte Minerals Corp. ("Forte"or the"Company") (CSE:CUAU)(OTCQB:FOMNF)(Frankfurt:2OA), a Canadian exploration company focused on developing copper and gold assets in Peru, is pleased to announce the completion of its acquisition of the Miscanthus Property (the "Property") a high-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold prospect in central Peru from Globetrotters Resource Group Inc. ("Globetrotters"), as initially announced on October 23, 2024
The Property consists of 4 Concessions: Totaling 3,200 hectares, which was transferred to Forte's Peruvian subsidiary, Cordillera Resources Perú S.A.C and includes an approved DIA drilling permit for up to 40 platforms over 172 hectares, significantly lowering permitting risk.
Under the Mineral Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 21, 2024, between Forte and Globetrotters, to acquire the Property, Forte made a one-time cash payment of US$27,000, issued 3,000,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.23 per share, and granted a 1.0% net smelter return (NSR) royalty to Globetrotters.
With the acquisition now complete, Forte is well-positioned to advance exploration at Miscanthus.
For further details, please refer to Forte's October 23, 2024, press release.
As GlobeTrotters is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of Forte's outstanding shares, it is a "related party" to the Company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As such, the acquisition of the Property was a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Property and consideration payable therefore does not constitute more than the 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Prior to the completion of the acquisition, GlobeTrotters held 5,833,333 common shares representing 12.36% of the then outstanding shares and following the acquisition, GlobeTrotters now holds 8,833,333 shares and 833,333 warrants, representing 17.60% of the outstanding shares on an undiluted basis and, assuming full exercise of the warrants held approximately 18.94% of the issued and outstanding shares on a partially diluted basis. While GlobeTrotters has no plans or intentions with respect to the securities held by it, depending on market conditions, general economic and industry conditions, trading prices of the shares, the Company's business, financial condition and prospects and/or other relevant factors, GlobeTrotters may develop such plans or intentions in the future and, at such time, may from time to time acquire additional shares, dispose of some or all of the existing or additional shares or may continue to hold the shares of the Company.
A copy of the early warning report filed by GlobeTrotters will be available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com or may be obtained by contacting Richard Osmond at (604) 466-0425.
All securities issuable in the acquisition are subject to a four month and one day hold period ending on March 1, 2025.

Forte Minerals to Acquire the Miscanthus Epithermal Gold and Porphyry Copper Prospects in Central Perú with Environmental Drilling Permit
Forte Minerals Corp. ("Forte"or the"Company") (CSE:CUAU)(OTCQB:FOMNF)(Frankfurt:2OA), has finalized the acquisition of the Miscanthus high sulphidation epithermal gold-Ag ("Au-Ag") and porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold ("Cu-Mo-Au") prospects ("Miscanthus" or the "Property") from its strategic partner Globetrotters Resource Group Inc. ("GlobeTrotters"). Key details include
Property Details: Miscanthus consists of 4 concessions totaling 3,200 hectares.
Previous Ownership: Initially acquired by Globetrotters in 2022 from Sumitomo Metal Mining Perú S.A. ("Sumitomo").
Transfer: The concessions are to be transferred to Forte's Peruvian subsidiary, Cordillera Resources Perú S.A.C.
Acquisition Terms under the Mineral Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 21, 2024 between the Company and Globetrotters
One-time cash payment of US $27,000.00
Issuance of 3,000,000 common shares of Forte at deemed price of $0.23 per share.
1.0% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") interest on the concessions to Globetrotters.
Environmental Approval: Miscanthus has an approved DIA environmental drilling permit, allowing for up to 40 platforms of drilling over 172 hectares, significantly reducing permitting risk.
Property Highlights
Location: Approximately 390 km southeast of Lima at 4,100 meters elevation.
Access: Via a network of paved and gravel roads, 60 km inland from Nazca.
Proximity to Infrastructure: 120 km from Marcona port and near the Mantaro-Southern Perú power grid.
Exploration Potential: Miscanthus is considered highly prospective, with the potential for the discovery of a large, telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-Au system, overprinted by high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. (See Figure 1 for more details.)
Figure 1: Location map of the Miscanthus Property.
Previous Exploration Work: Sumitomo acquired the Property in 2018 and carried out detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys outlining an untested high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag target. Upon receiving environmental approval ("DIA") and successfully negotiating an agreement with the local community for the drill permit application, Sumitomo transferred ownership to the Property, along with the approved DIA, to GlobeTrotters in 2022. GlobeTrotters then conducted further detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys on the Property confirming the high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag target and identifying a potential large, telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-Au system at depth.
Geological Features
The Property is situated on the Western Cordillera and associated with Miocene-aged volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks forming part of the Tertiary Volcanic Arc which is known to host several large Miocene-aged epithermal Au deposits including Barrick's Pierina deposit and Newmont's Yanacocha and Minas Conga deposits as well as several large Miocene-aged porphyry Cu-Mo-(+Au) deposits including Chinalco's Toromocho, Southern Copper's Michiquillay and Rio Tinto's La Granja deposit.
High-Sulphidation Epithermal Au-Ag Target
The high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag target is characterized by several multidirectional, structurally controlled silica ledges and vuggy silica altered outcrops within an extensive 1,000 metre x 500 metre advanced argillic alteration zone (Figure 2). This advanced argillic alteration is characterized by intense quartz-alunite-kaolinite alteration, hosted within weakly deformed, locally brecciated Miocene-aged volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks of andesitic to dacitic composition.
Figure 2: Alteration map outlining the high-sulphidation epithermal Au target areas with anomalous surface rock Au geochemistry. Source: Globetrotters Resource Group 2023 and 2024, author: Manuel Montoya
This alteration aligns with anomalous surface rock geochemistry, with up to 183 ppb Au and 8.9 ppm Ag, and notable anomalies in Ba, Mo, Pb, As, Sb, and Hg. Furthermore, this target correlates with a sizeable, coincident low magnetic susceptibility and high chargeability - high resistivity geophysical anomaly.
Sumitomo obtained DIA environmental approval for 172 hectares surrounding this target, allowing for up to 40 platforms of drilling.
Copper East Target
Recent exploration on the eastern side of the Property identified a 3-kilometre x 1-kilometre Cu-Mo surface rock geochemistry anomaly, named the Copper East target (Figure 3). This Cu-Mo target is also hosted within Miocene-aged volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks which seem more deeply eroded into the roots of the high-sulphidation system.
Figure 3: Alteration map outlining the Copper East and Copper SW target areas with anomalous surface rock Cu geochemistry. Source: Globetrotters Resources Group 2023 and 2024, Author: Manuel Montoya
Here, alunite-pyrophyllite-diaspore forms wormy and patchy alteration textures (Figure 4) within more pervasive sericite-clay alteration, accompanied locally by porphyry-related D-type veining (Figure 5). These features indicate the transition to the upper part of a telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-(Au) system.
Figure 4: Outcrop from the Copper East target area with intense alunite-pyrophyllite alteration as wormy and patchy alteration textures anomalous in surface rock Cu geochemistry with grade of up to 133 ppm Cu.
Figure 5: Outcrop from the Copper East target with intense porphyry related D-type veining anomalous in surface rock Cu geochemistry with grades of up to 108 ppm Cu.
Copper SW Target
Detailed mapping and surface rock geochemistry have outlined a second large 3-kilometre x 1-kilometre Cu-Mo surface rock geochemistry anomaly, known as the Copper SW target. This Cu-Mo target is adjacent to and overlaps with the high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag target and correlates with a large IP high chargeability geophysical anomaly. Further exploration work is planned to evaluate these Cu-Mo targets, potentially outlining a cluster of large, telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-(Au) systems overprinted by high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag mineralization on the Property. A qualified person for the Company has not done sufficient work on the Property to verify the work completed by others and the historical results presented in this release should not be relied upon.
Permit and Land Rights
Sumitomo conducted an environmental baseline study and an archaeological study as part of the drill permitting process. In March 2022, they received DIA environmental approval, valid for five (5) years, to drill 40 platforms over 172 hectares to test the high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag target. This approval was transferred to GlobeTrotters upon obtaining title to these concessions and will be transferred to Cordillera Resources SAC as part of the acquisition. The property land rights are controlled by a local indigenous community and several private landowners, who have provided access for the early exploration work completed to date.
CEO Remarks
Patrick Elliott, President, and CEO, remarked, "This acquisition is another strategic win for Forte. The Miscanthus copper and gold prospects are coherent, well defined and the historical work and capital expended since 2018 by Sumitomo and Globetrotters have significantly de-risked the exploration potential for Forte.
This is a true testament to the strategic partnership between Globetrotters and Forte to generate and deliver high quality, drill ready targets in a highly prospective region of Perú. Forte would like to acknowledge the persistence and determination of our partner, Globetrotters, in securing these prospects. It significantly mitigates the risks associated with the early stages of exploration, discovery and drill permitting in a premier mining jurisdiction.
Exploration projects of this calibre that have drill permits in hand are extremely hard to find let alone acquire. Recently, the DIA drill permitting process can take up to 3 years, so to have this in place is a real bonus which adds tremendous value and optionality to be able to mobilize and drill the targets at any time."
Related Party Transaction
Additionally, as GlobeTrotters is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of Forte's outstanding shares, it is a "related party" to the Company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As such, the acquisition of the Property constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101.
The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Property and consideration payable therefore does not constitute more than the 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company expects to complete the acquisition within 5 business days. All securities issuable in the acquisition will be subject to a four month and one day hold period pursuant to applicable securities laws and the rules and policies of the CSE.

Maiden Measured Resource for the Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) Project, WA
- A maiden Measured Resource of 730,000 tonnes at 25.8% alumina (Al2O3) for a contained 189,000 tonnes of alumina has been defined at the Lake Hope HPA Project in Western Australia.
- The Measured Resource supports the first 15 years or more of proposed HPA production from Lake Hope. It will underpin a maiden Probable or Proven Reserve, subject to ongoing mining studies, test work, and economic studies to be completed as part of the Pre-Feasibility Study on Lake Hope.
- Impact aims to bring Lake Hope into production to deliver low-cost, high-margin end products to a rapidly expanding global market. Current prices for benchmark 4N HPA (99.99% Al2O3) and related products are more than US$20,000 per tonne.
- The Pre-Feasibility Study will be completed in Q1 2025 after the final reports from various contractors and consultants are received, which are expected in December and January.
- Following an agreement with the Federal government, the first monies from the recent $2.87 million grant for the CRC-P research and development project with CPC Engineering and Edith Cowan University to construct a pilot plant for Lake Hope will be received by the end of November, a few months ahead of schedule. This will accelerate the construction of the pilot plant.
The Measured Resource comprises 730,000 tonnes of lake clay at a grade of 25.8% alumina (aluminium oxide, Al2O3) for a contained 189,000 tonnes of alumina (Table A). It is part of a much larger resource that includes Indicated and Inferred Resources within a unique deposit of high-grade alumina hosted in extremely fine-grained evaporite and clay minerals in the top two metres of two small dry salt lakes in the Lake Hope playa system (West Lake and East Lake, Figure 3 and ASX Release March 21st 2023).
The Measured Resource will underpin a maiden Probable or Proven Reserve Statement for an initial mine life of at least 15 years at the proposed benchmark production rate of 10,000 tonnes per annum of High Purity Alumina. The Reserve Statement is subject to further mining, metallurgical test work and economic studies that are part of the ongoing PFS (ASX Release October 9th 2024).
The larger resource underpins a potentially much longer mine life of at least 25 years, as reported in the Scoping Study on Lake Hope. The study showed that the project had very robust economics, with an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV8) of A$1.3 billion and one of the lowest operating costs per tonne of HPA globally (ASX Release November 9th, 2023). Impact confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information in the Scoping Study continue to apply.

The Mineral Resource estimate is shown in Table A and is reported in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code 2012 by resource consultants H and S Consultants Pty Ltd (HSC) of Brisbane, Queensland. All details relevant to the Resource Estimate are given below and in the JORC Tables 1, 2 and 3 at the end of this report. Drill hole information and assay data have been reported previously (ASX Release 19th June 2023).
Table A. Lake Hope Alumina Mineral Resources.
About 60% of the Measured Resource lies within West Lake, over which Impact recently pegged a Mining Lease Application (ASX Release August 12th, 2024). When required, further low-cost push-tube sampling of the lake can significantly increase the size of the measured resource (Figure 2).

The alumina block grade distribution for the resources is shown in Figure 2. The grade increases towards the centre of the lakes, offering an opportunity for preferential mining of the higher-grade material in the early stages of any future mine development. Initial geometallurgical studies examining the variability of the mineral assemblages across the lakes have also been completed, and these are being incorporated into the mining schedules being prepared for the PFS.

The new Mineral Resource Estimate will be incorporated, as per the JORC 2012 Code, into the Pre- Feasibility Study for Lake Hope, which is nearing completion. Final reports from the engineering and design studies, mining schedules, and mining cost estimates, as well as from other contractors and consultants, are awaited. Some of these are expected in mid-December, and accordingly, the PFS is expected to be completed in Q1 2025.
Early Access to the CRC-P Research and Development Grant Funding
Impact recently announced that, in collaboration with CPC Engineering and the Mineral Recovery Research Centre (MRRC) at Edith Cowan University, it had been awarded a $2.87 million grant to commercialise its innovative process for producing High-Purity Alumina from Lake Hope (ASX Release October 22nd, 2024).
The grant is provided under the Federal Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) program and is part of a more extensive research and development project designed to
provide Impact with the relevant information required to complete a Definitive Feasibility Study. A vital component of the grant funding will be to construct a pilot plant, which is an essential milestone for 2025, and this will provide consistent HPA samples for off-take and qualification trials.
