Forsys Provides Update for the Norasa Project, Namibia, Commencement of Drill Program
April 19 2023 - 7:00AM
Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY)
(“Forsys” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it
has commenced an updated drilling program at the Company’s Norasa
Uranium Project sites (“Norasa Project” or “Norasa”) located in
Namibia, Africa. The
Norasa Project is
wholly-owned by the Company’s subsidiary Valencia Uranium (Pty)
Ltd. (“Valencia Uranium”) and comprises the Valencia Uranium
Project (ML149) ("Valencia”) and the Namibplaas Uranium Project
(EPL3638) (“Nambiplaas”) in the Erongo region of Namibia.
With the advancement of metallurgical,
engineering and mining technology since drilling work was last
undertaken for the Norasa Project’s Definitive Feasibility Study in
2015, the Company has started a 4,100 metres drilling program,
which commenced on March 31, 2023. This program aims to retrieve
fresh samples at depths of up to 420 meters from the slope areas
for both the planned mining pits at Valencia and Namibplaas.
The focus of the drilling program is :
- geotechnical logging and sampling
for geo-mechanical testing for optimizing pit designs;
- testing the continuity of
mineralization for optimized resource modelling;
- sampling for metallurgical test
work and for optimized processing design and resource block
modelling of the orebodies;
Figure-1 below, shows the drilling program
within ML-149 Valencia and EPL-3638 Namibplaas (ML-251 pending).
One Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill rig and one Diamond Core
(“DC”) drill rig are presently on ML-149, with a second DC rig
scheduled to come to site. Additional drill locations will be
required for further in-depth studies and for a proven geotechnical
design status.

drilling .
