Forge Resources Corp. has completed its 2,792-metre diamond drilling program at the Alotta Project in the Yukon’s Dawson Range Gold Belt, with all six holes returning visual indicators of porphyry-style mineralization across a four-kilometre footprint.

The 2026 campaign tested interpreted porphyry centres at the Commission, Payoff, and Severance zones. Every completed hole intersected alteration and mineralization, supporting the geological interpretation of a large mineralized system featuring multiple distinct centres rather than a single target.

At the Commission Zone, hole ALT-26-021 reached a depth of 651 metres, establishing a new depth record for the property. Previous drilling had reached a maximum depth of 565 metres in hole ALT-26-018. The deepest hole remained mineralized and altered throughout its entire length, displaying biotite, magnetite, and chlorite alteration alongside pyrite, pyrrhotite, molybdenite, and chalcopyrite mineralization. Visual logging indicated that vein density and magnetite content increased with depth in both hole ALT-26-018 and hole ALT-26-021, a textural pattern typically associated with approaching porphyry centres.

Drilling at the Payoff Zone included hole ALT-26-020, which intersected visible gold within a one-centimetre-wide quartz vein at a depth of 217 metres inside a wider zone of biotite and silica-altered porphyry. Meanwhile, hole ALT-26-019 tested the Severance Zone, intersecting propylitic-altered porphyry with abundant pyrite, pyrrhotite, and minor molybdenite and chalcopyrite.

“Alotta continues to get bigger, not smaller. Each season we've added ground to the story rather than narrowing it, and the picture that's emerging is of a large system with several distinct centres rather than a single target, which is exactly the kind of setting that has produced the major deposits in this part of the Yukon”

— PJ Murphy, CEO of Forge Resources

The Alotta Project covers 4,723 hectares across 230 mineral claims in the unglaciated Dawson Range gold belt. Analytical work for the completed program is being handled by ALS Canada Ltd., with preparation in Whitehorse and geochemical analysis in North Vancouver. Forge Resources will release assay results once they are received, compiled, and interpreted.
