Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 15, 2026) - Forge Resources Corp.(CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) ("FRG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of its 2025 accomplishments and the exploration outlook for the Alotta Project, Yukon. Building on the excellent results from the 2025 exploration program, the Company enters 2026 well positioned to advance further high-quality discoveries at the Alotta property.

The Company is revising to reflect minor adjustments to reported sample interval lengths originally disclosed on December 16, 2025. No changes have been made to the reported composite gold grades.

Highlights:

Playoff Zone ALT-25-012 composite of 78.00 metres of 2.01 g/tonne gold remains unchanged Alimony Zone discovery hole ALT-25-013 composite of112.23 metres of 0.66 grams/tonne gold,including 55.53 m of1.04 g/t Au and 1.6 m of25.8 g/t Au, remains unchanged Commission Zone first drill holes expand known porphyry style mineralization to over 3 km

PJ Murphy, CEO of Forge Resources, states: "_2025 marked a transformational year for the Alotta Project. Our highly successful drill program expanded the zones of known mineralization and delivered great new across the property. We are extremely pleased that every drill hole completed to date has intersected mineralization, with several showing significant widths. Gold enrichment at the Payoff Zone, including visible gold, and the discovery at the Alimony Zone - 800 metres to the west - are highly encouraging. 2026 will be a formative year for the program, as we push forward with expanding known mineralization over the coming months to effectively explore the very large system at Alotta."_

2025 Exploration Summary:

Completed 2685.66metres of diamond drilling at the Alotta Project in 9 drill holes over two phases building on previous 6 drill holes from 2023 and 2024 campaigns for a total of 15 holes across the property.

Exploration drilling at the Alimony Zone(one drill hole, totalling 312 metres) discovered the best zone of gold mineralization to date. Highlight results include:

| ALT-25-013: | 112.23 m grading0.66 g/t Au Including 55.53 m of1.04 g/t Au Including 1.6 m of25.8 g/t Au |

Step-out drilling at the Payoff Zone (now totalling 2618.75 metres over 7 holes to date) returned continued widespread, near-surface, gold mineralization. 2025 drilling at the Payoff Zone has delineated a zone of gold enrichment 500 m long trend that is open along strike in both directions. 2025 assay highlights include:

| ALT-25-012: | 78 m grading 2.01 g/t Au Including 44.77 m of 3.40 g/t Au Including 8.17 m of 17.69 g/t Au and0.07% Cu Including 1.25 m of105 g/t Au and0.24% Cu. And 1.15 mof 8.85 g/t Au and0.08% Cu |

2026 Exploration Outlook

The success of the 2025 program and previous initiatives have positioned the Company well to refine existing mineralization and pursue promising new targets ahead of the 2026 field season. The information collected so far will help create a solid geological model and strengthen the foundation for understanding mineralization on the property.

2025 Diamond Drilling Summary

A total of 2685.66 m of drilling in 9 drill holeswere completed by the Company in 2025. Drill hole location data these holes are listed in Table 2. The program was designed to follow up on mineralization discovered in previous 2023 and 2024 programs and to expand drilling to other known showings on the property. Surface expression of mineralization includes overlapping of gold, copper and molybdenum soil geochemical anomalies that is over 4 km in length and nearly 2 km wide (Figures 3 and 4). The Company was able to successfully test most surface showings, with 2025 holes drilled into the Severance, Payoff, Alimony and Commission zones. These zones are very wide-spread but consistently returned altered and mineralized bedrock confirming a very large system underlies the Alotta property.

Alimony Zone (totalling 312 m, 1 hole)

Phase II of the 2025 program saw the first ever hole drilled into the Alimony Zone and returned a significant new gold discovery. The hole drilled entirely through variably altered granodiorite that was cut by widespread, discrete, quartz and quartz-carbonate veins with associated sulphide mineralization. Alteration, overall, is less than observed at other locations on the property; however, broad zones of gold mineralization were intersected in the upper 150 m of the drill (Table 3; Figure 5). Mineralization is believed to be associated with the discrete veining, in addition to higher-grade polymetallic quartz sulphide veins (Photo 1 and 2).

Payoff Zone (2618.75 m over 7 holes)

2025 drilling at the Payoff Zone was designed to confirm the presence gold mineralization, first discovered in 2023 drilling and to test its continuity at depth. Holes at the Payoff Zone intersected significant alteration and sulphide mineralization (Table 3; Photos 3 to 5; Figures 6 to 8), including visible gold that was observed in all 2025 holes in the zone (Photo 6).

Preliminary modeling of the Payoff Zone indicates continuous gold mineralization across an east-west trending zone approximately 500 m long and open in both directions (Figure 9). Similar mineralization is found along strike at the southern Severance Zone (Holes ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011) with approximately 800 m of untested ground between the two zones. To the west, surface geochemistry continues, with the farthest step out to date in hole ALT-25-12, which returned strong gold grades over substantial widths (Table 2). All of which indicate significant potential for expanding mineralization.

Severance Zone (1803.91 m over 5 holes)

The Severance Zone is a large (approximately 400 x 400 m) area that is defined by overlapping gold, copper and molybdenum geochemical soil anomaly. Two holes were drilled into the zone in 2024 and intersected strongly altered porphyry with broad zones of moderate gold mineralization. In 2025, three holes were drilled into the Severance Zone, one (ALT-25-007) close to the surface expression of the main Severance Zone, and two (ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011), approximately 300 m to the south.

Hole ALT-25-007 returned an increase in copper grades in the upper parts of the hole, that was associated with strongly altered and veined quartz-feldspar porphyry (Table 5; Figure 10). Copper grades fall off near the bottom of the hole; however, an increase in gold grades occurs.

Holes ALT-25-010 and ALT-25-011 drilled through strongly altered porphyry and granodiorite, with significant intervals of brecciation within the granodiorite. Brecciation is coincident with pervasive biotite alteration, which appears to be overprinted by intense silicification. This is reminiscent of alteration and brecciation observed in drill holes from the Payoff Zone, and similarly, gold grades from holes 010 and 011 show sustained grades over broad intervals. The distance to the Payoff Zone is approximately 800 m, making the open ground between the south Severance and Payoff zones an intriguing target for 2026.

Commission Zone (totalling 611 m over 2 holes)

Similar to the Alimony Zone, the 2025 program saw the very first holes drilled at the Commission Zone, a move of approximately one kilometre east of any other hole at the property. The two holes drilled into the Commission Zone targeted an overlapping copper, gold and molybdenum geochemical anomaly and coincident chargeability highs and resistivity lows. Although gold grades from the initial holes at the Commission Zone are not as high as those from other targets on the property, copper grades increase, especially in hole ALT-25-014 (Table 7; Figure 12).
