# Forge Resources Intercepts 105 g/t Au in the Payoff Zone at Alotta Project, Yukon *2025-11-17T08:30:00-05:00* Forge Resources Intercepts 105 g/t Au in the Payoff Zone at Alotta Project, Yukon Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 17, 2025) - **Forge Resources Corp.**(CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) ("**FRG**" or the "**Company**"), is pleased to announce the first gold assay results from the Phase 2 diamond drill program at Alotta (Figure 1), **intercepting 105 g/t Au over a core length of 1.25 m**. **Majority of assays results are still pending.** Due to prolonged assay laboratory delays, the Company requested a rush analysis of a visually high-grade interval from drill hole ALT-25-012 (_see News Release dated June 17, 2025)_. **Additional gold screen and multi-element analysis results remain pending from the rushed 40-sample batch.** **Highlights:** - Gold analysis from rushed samples from drill hole **ALT-25-012**, at the Payoff Zone, have returned **105 g/t Au over a core length of 1.25 m. **Photos 1-2 are from a section of the drill core hosting visible gold. The true width is not known, the contacts ranging from 10-35 degrees to core axis. - Continued drilling success at the Payoff Zone confirms widespread gold-bearing sulphide mineralization and quartz veining across a 500-metre strike length, reinforcing the zone's potential within a large geophysical anomaly. - Alotta is a gold enriched porphyry system hosting both semi-massive polymetallic sulphide veins and quartz veins overprinting the porphyry mineralization. The first 80 metres of ALT-25-012 contains many of these veins with **assay results still pending.**To date, these veins significantly contribute to the overall gold grade. **PJ Murphy, CEO of Forge Resources**, states: _"We are extremely excited by the exceptional high-grade gold results from hole ALT-25-012, which returned **105 g/t Au over 1.25 metres**. This intercept highlights the strong high-grade gold potential at Alotta and complements the broader, bulk-tonnage style mineralization at the Payoff Zone. The consistently strong gold grades and wide mineralized intervals encountered to date further confirm the strength, continuity, and scale of this growing gold system, which begins right at surface. Multiple instances of visible gold within quartz veining underscores the robustness of this mineralized corridor. As we advance exploration, the Company will prioritize several large 'bull's-eye' targets defined by coincident copper, gold, and molybdenum soil anomalies and supporting geophysical signatures. We look forward to receiving the multi-element results from the rushed samples of hole ALT-25-012, along with the remaining assays from our Phase 2 drilling program."_ [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8680/274732_484feb14e4154afc_001full.jpg) _**Photo 1. **Quartz vein from drill hole ALT-25-012 (reported) with coarse native gold (287.32 - 288.24 m).
