• Five-hole 1,750m drill program underway
• Testing for potential large-scale high-sulphidation epithermal gold system
• Assay results expected early Q1 2026

Forte Minerals Corp. (‘Forte’ or the ‘Company’) ( CSE: CUAU,OTC:FOMNF ) ( OTCQB: FOMNF ) ( Frankfurt: 2OA ) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at its 100%-owned Pucarini High-Sulfidation Gold Project (‘ Pucarini ‘ or the ‘ Project ‘) in southern Peru. This marks the first-ever drill program on the Project and represents a significant milestone following several years of geological work, community engagement, and environmental permitting.

Pucarini is located within the Southern Peru Miocene Mineral Belt, which hosts numerous epithermal gold (‘ Au ‘) and porphyry copper – molybdenum (‘ Cu-Mo ‘) deposits. The Project exhibits a large-scale hydrothermal alteration footprint with high-sulphidation epithermal Au type mineralization, similar to those of neighbouring and regional deposits in the Puno region of Southern Peru.

Over the past several years, Forte has carried out detailed mapping, geochemistry, multispectral mineralogical analysis, and ground geophysics, while also building strong, long-term relationships with local communities. The Company secured its DIA drilling permit in August 2023 (refer to news release – September 29, 2023 ) and entered into a renewed one-year Community Agreement on March 1, 2025, ensuring local support for the 2025–2026 exploration drilling program.

Inaugural Drill Program

The Phase I program consists of:

• 5 diamond drill holes
• 1,750 metres total (~350 m per hole)
• Testing a potential large-scale high-sulfidation epithermal gold system.

The drill targets were prioritized based on coincident gold geochemistry, high-sulfidation alteration zones, and high resistivity geophysical anomalies, creating a potential cohesive exploration model.

Figure 6 – Pucarini Diamond Drill Hole #3 in Cross section – IP High Chargeability/ Low Resistivity Anomaly and Deeper High Magnetic Susceptibility Anomaly

The 1,000-hectare 100% owned Pucarini Project contains multiple advanced argillic alteration zones within a 3.6 km by 1.8 km hydrothermal alteration footprint. These zones are characterized by massive and granular silica ledges, vuggy silica, and high-sulfidation alteration textures, all consistent with high-sulfidation epithermal Au alteration and mineralization on surface.

Forte has identified a cohesive Au geochemical anomaly in rocks and soils that spans 1,200 m by 600m, supported by a large 1,500 m by 600 m high chargeability anomaly. This is also coincident with a deep-rooted high magnetic susceptibility anomaly that potentially outlines a Au-Cu-Mo porphyry system at depth. Lower levels of anomalous Cu and Mo geochemistry in rocks and soils dominate the main target zone lending more conviction to a potential deeper porphyry target. Together, these datasets outline a robust, untested high-sulphidation epithermal Au target overprinting a potential porphyry Au-Cu-Mo target at greater depth.

With drilling now underway, the Company is positioned to unlock the first subsurface information ever collected from this extensive system. Core processing and sampling from the first drill hole is now underway, and the Company anticipates delivering first assay results to the market in early Q1 2026.

Forte’s President & CEO Statement, Patrick Elliott commented:

‘The start of drilling at Pucarini is a major milestone for Forte. After years of geological groundwork, permitting progress, and meaningful collaboration with local communities, we are finally able to test what we believe is one of the most compelling untested high-sulfidation gold exploration targets in southern Peru.

The scale of the alteration system, the strength of the geophysics, and the consistency of the gold anomaly make this a highly attractive first-pass discovery opportunity. With drilling underway, we look forward to sharing initial results with the market in December.’

Strengthened Balance Sheet and Strategic Alignment

Over the past four months, Forte has welcomed two new strategic investors, each investing C$5.7 million, bolstering the Company’s treasury and aligning long-term development plans across all projects. These investors bring significant in-country operational experience and will play an important role in unlocking value not only at Pucarini, but also at the Company’s second Au asset, the Alto Ruri Au Project.

Alto Ruri Gold Project (15 km from Barrick’s Pierina Mine)

While drilling progresses at Pucarini, Forte remains committed to advancing its second Au project, Alto Ruri , located approximately 15 km from the past-producing Pierina Mine, one of Barrick’s former cornerstone operations. Alto Ruri hosts shallow historical drilling, high-resistivity geophysical anomalies, and district-scale epithermal signatures, underscoring its potential for a near-surface Au discovery (refer to the news release dated March 4 ^th , 2024 ).

With the support of two new strategic investors with deep operational experience in Peru, advancing environmental permitting at Alto Ruri is a key priority as the Company prepares the project for future drilling.

Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is proud to announce the successful first commercial installation of its proprietary energy management system, ‘The Hub,’ on a Risen battery energy storage system (BESS) at a customer site, marking a key commercialization milestone for the Company’s AI-driven energy solutions business.

The Hub is Homerun Energy’s advanced AI-enabled Energy Management System (EMS), built to orchestrate batteries and other flexible assets in real time to maximize revenue, reduce operating costs, and protect asset life. By connecting directly to the Risen BESS, The Hub now controls live charging and discharging at the customer’s site based on market signals, grid conditions, and on-site constraints, demonstrating full field functionality on a commercial battery platform.

‘This first commercial installation of The Hub on a Risen battery provides the validation investors have been waiting for,’ said Dr Luca Sorbello, CEO, Homerun Energy ‘We have moved from development to live operations, proving that our AI-enabled control system can unlock more value from storage assets while supporting a cleaner, more reliable grid.’

Learn more about the installation through this informative video: https://youtu.be/zwc_T0sPCVE

AI is central to the intelligence behind The Hub. By continuously analysing real-time data, from grid conditions and market prices to on-site consumption and battery health, The Hub’s AI models predict optimal dispatch strategies before they’re needed. This allows the system to automatically maximize revenue opportunities, reduce operating costs, and protect the battery from unnecessary wear. As The Hub learns from each installation, its algorithms become even more accurate, enabling smarter, faster, and more reliable control across an entire fleet of distributed energy assets.

The inaugural deployment enables:

• Intelligent dispatch of the battery to capture price arbitrage, peak shaving, and grid-support services
• Real-time monitoring and analytics, giving asset owners full visibility into performance and health
• Configurable control strategies, allowing operators to adapt quickly to evolving tariffs, regulations, and market opportunities
• Scalable architecture, built to manage fleets of storage assets across multiple sites

As renewable generation continues to grow, battery storage and intelligent control systems are becoming critical to balancing supply and demand. With The Hub now operating on a live battery installation, Homerun Energy is positioned to support developers, asset owners, and utilities looking to maximize the value of their storage portfolios.

‘Storage is only as smart as the software that controls it,’ added Luca Sorbello ‘The Hub was built from the ground up for flexibility and scale, so this first installation is just the beginning.’

We applaud Homerun’s consistent track record of hard work and determination, and we look forward to supporting the Company over the longer-term throughout their growth trajectory.’

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Sharing Agreement between the parties, the following structure and sequence will take effect under the Offering:

• The Investor will deposit CDN$6,000,000 into a third-party escrow account.
• The Company will issue the 6,000,000 Shares into escrow and the Warrants will be issued to Sorbie on each monthly settlement date.
• Over a 24-month period, the cash and Shares will be released monthly based on the Company’s market price at each release date.
• The Investor will immediately receive upon closing 1,500,000 Warrants exercisable at CDN$1.18 for three (3) years.
