Forte Minerals Corp. Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement Offering

June 27, 2024

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 27, 2024 – Forte Minerals Corp. ("Forte" or the "Company") (CSE: CUAU) (OTQB: FOMNF) (Frankfurt: 2OA)is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") (see press release dated June 5, 2024). The Offering was initially set for 7,500,000 units but, due to high demand, was oversubscribed, resulting in the issuance of 8,953,000 units at a price of CAD $0.20 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD $1,790,600.

Each unit in the Offering consisted of one common share (each, a "Share") and one-half of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of CAD $0.30 per Warrant Share until June 26, 2026.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on October 27, 2024.

The Company paid cash finder’s fees totaling $86,736.00 and issued 433,680 finder’s warrants, on the same terms as the Warrants, to investment advisors who introduced subscribers to the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund Forte's exploration programs, including the initial 1,200 m drill program at the Pucarini Gold Project and comprehensive surface exploration programs at Esperanza and Alto Ruri. Funds will also support ongoing social engagement and drill permitting efforts, alongside general working capital purposes.

Certain directors of the Company have purchased or acquired direction or control over a total of 150,000 Units in the Offering which participation constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors of the Company have determined that the issuance of the Units is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101.

Patrick Elliott, President and CEO of Forte Minerals, expressed his gratitude: "We are thankful for the overwhelming support from our shareholders, which reflects strong confidence in Forte's strategic vision and our exploration targets. This successful capital raise marks a significant milestone in advancing our projects towards discovery."
