Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) has released results from its 2026 diamond drilling campaign at the Alotta Project in Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt. The program completed 2,791.24 metres across six holes at the Commission, Payoff, and Severance zones, bringing the project's cumulative total to 8,137 metres in 21 holes. Highlights include broad gold intersections at the Payoff Zone and elevated molybdenum grades pointing toward an undiscovered high-grade porphyry core at the Commission Zone, developments that investors in junior exploration companies may be watching closely.

Key Points

  • Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ)
  • 2026 drilling at the Alotta Project, Yukon, completed 2,791.24 metres in six holes across three target zones
  • Payoff Zone highlight: 70 m grading 0.51 g/t Au in ALT-26-020, including 0.3 m of 4.44 g/t Au; Commission Zone shows elevated molybdenum grades indicating proximity to a higher-grade porphyry core
  • Investors may be watching whether future drilling tests the northern and southern expansion potential at the Payoff Zone and deeper potassic alteration at the Commission Zone

Payoff Zone Returns Broad Gold Mineralisation Across 700-Metre Strike Length

The Payoff Zone, now totalling 3,328 metres in nine holes, returned widespread gold mineralisation in both 2026 holes. ALT-26-020 intersected 70 m grading 0.51 g/t Au from 213 m depth, including 0.3 m of 4.44 g/t Au and 31.75 m of 0.63 g/t Au. ALT-26-016 returned 85 m grading 0.42 g/t Au from 229 m depth, including 9 m of 1.0 g/t Au. The release states that known strike length at the Payoff Zone has now extended to approximately 700 metres, with the target remaining open in all directions. All intervals represent drilled core lengths; additional drilling is required to establish true widths.

Commission Zone Drilling Signals Proximity to High-Temperature Porphyry Core

Four holes totalling 1,976 metres have now been drilled at the Commission Zone, located approximately 1.5 km east of the Payoff Zone. The 2026 holes intersected sheeted and stockwork quartz veins with chlorite, sericite, magnetite, and biotite alteration to depths exceeding 600 m below surface. Elevated molybdenum grades — including 95.5 m grading 0.009% Mo in ALT-26-021 — are interpreted as indicators of higher-temperature mineralising fluids. The company states the potassic alteration zone, commonly associated with the highest copper and gold grades in a porphyry system, may remain undiscovered at depth.

Severance Zone Step-Out Intersects Gold and Copper Mineralisation

A single hole, ALT-26-019, was drilled approximately 230 m north of previous drilling at the Severance Zone. The hole intersected altered and mineralised porphyritic rocks along most of its length, returning 42 m grading 0.18 g/t Au, 0.46 g/t Ag, and 0.03% Cu, including 18 m of 0.21 g/t Au. Additional intervals included 23.53 m of 0.31 g/t Au and 2.02 m of 1.07 g/t Au. The release notes that large fault zones intersected may have juxtaposed lower- and higher-temperature parts of the system, complicating structural interpretation of this target.

QA/QC and Qualified Person Sign-Off

Analytical work was completed by ALS Canada Ltd., with sample preparation in Whitehorse and Langley, British Columbia, and geochemical analysis in North Vancouver. The company states that certified assay standards, duplicates, and blanks were routinely inserted into the sample stream.
