Newlands said the company has a pivotal position in its growth trajectory, with one of its two projects having a clear path to revenue.
Forge Resources holds the Alotta project, a prospective porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum property in the Yukon Territory's Dawson Range, located 50 km southeast of the Casino deposit. It also holds an 80% interest in Aion Mining Corp., which is developing the fully permitted La Estrella coal project in Santander, Colombia, containing eight known seams of metallurgical and thermal coal. The release contains no financial figures or transaction terms.
