Category 2: Asset Portfolio & Geology
Q: What is Forte Minerals' primary exploration asset?
A: While Forte maintains a multi-asset pipeline, the Company is focused on the Alto Ruri Gold Project, a premier high-sulfidation epithermal gold prospect located in central Peru.
- The Scale: It sits on a contiguous 4,700-hectare land block just 15 km south of Barrick Gold's historic Pierina Mine, which produced over 8.5 million ounces of gold.
- The Data: Historical drilling at Alto Ruri returned exceptional results, including a headline intercept of 131 meters of 2.55 g/t gold from surface, which included 54 meters of 5.39 g/t gold. See Press Release dated March 4, 2024.
Our other strategic assets—including the Esperanza Copper-Molybdenum Project, Miscanthus Copper-Gold Project, and Pucarini Gold Project—are highly prospective, secondary pipeline opportunities that allow us to maintain a diversified, district-scale footprint in Peru's richest mineral belts.

Q: What is the significance of the management team’s connection to the Zafranal Copper Deposit?
A: The Zafranal Copper-Gold Deposit in southern Peru is a world-class asset originally discovered and advanced by AQM Copper, later acquired by Teck Resources and Mitsubishi Materials. Key members of Forte’s founding and technical leadership team, specifically Patrick Elliott, President & CEO, Dr. Thomas Henricksen, Senior Geological Advisor, and Manuel Montoya, General Manager, Peru, were directly responsible for the initial exploration discoveries and early resource development of the Zafranal deposit.
Category 3: Strategic Partnerships & Community Relations
Q: How does the strategic partnership with GlobeTrotters Resources Perú S.A.C. benefit Forte?
A: The exclusive partnership with GlobeTrotters Resources acts as an operational and project-generation incubator for Forte. GlobeTrotters has spent decades building proprietary geological databases and deep community relationships within Peru. This alliance provides Forte with:
- A proprietary, de-risked pipeline of high-quality new project opportunities.
- Immediate access to elite, in-country geological and technical operations teams.
- Established, multi-decade goodwill with local community stakeholders, significantly reducing the timeline required to secure social licenses and drilling permits.
Q: How does Forte Minerals approach ESG and community relations in Peru?
A: In Peru, earning a social license from local communities is just as vital as finding the mineralization. Forte operates with a strict, community-first ethos. Long before a single drill rig enters a project site, our team initiates open, transparent, and face-to-face dialogues with local families and community leaders to listen, understand, and build multi-decade trust.
We view the local communities as our most valued stakeholders and partners. Our exploration campaigns prioritize direct local employment, support local and regional infrastructure, and invest heavily in community-led economic initiatives. By aligning our corporate success directly with the prosperity, respect, and well-being of our host communities, we ensure safe, stable, and mutually beneficial long-term operations.
