Samples have been sent to the Saskatchewan Research Council from three holes drilled at Korvin Lake and What Lake for assay and are expected in mid-October. Forum is on its eleventh and final hole of the drill program on the Korvin Creek target. A summary of the drill program follows:
Korvin Lake - two holes drilled on the electromagnetic target identified by the HeliSAM Time Domain Electromagnetic (EM) airborne survey completed in May 2021.
What Lake - five holes have been drilled on trenches which returned values as high as 0.43% Copper, 0.23% Nickel, 4275 ppb Palladium, 3580 ppb Platinum and 200 ppb Gold and on targets outlined by ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys.
Korvin Creek - four holes will be completed where two drill holes in 1968 intersected 31.7 metres grading 0.23% copper and 36.6 metres of 0.29% copper, as well as targets outlined by ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys.

Love Lake Nickel-Copper-Platinum-Palladium Project
The Peter Lake Domain in northern Saskatchewan is the largest mafic/ultramafic complex in North America second only to the Duluth Complex which is centered in the heart of the Midcontinent Rift System in Minnesota and Ontario and is host to numerous magmatic copper/nickel and platinum/palladium deposits. For over 250 km of the Peter Lake Domain numerous copper/nickel and platinum/palladium showings have been uncovered over the past fifty years that have received only sporadic exploration.
Forum staked 32,075 hectares over the 20km by 5km Love Lake Complex in 2019, a 2.56 billion year old, palladium enriched layered gabbroic intrusive. A 4,412 line kilometre Heli-GT magnetic/gradiometric survey was completed for Forum by SHA Geophysics in 2020, two field programs of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and prospecting were completed by Forum in 2019 and 2020 and a 588 line kilometre HeliSam Time Domain airborne EM survey was completed in 2021.
