Property Highlights
-
Location: Roughly 390 km southeast of Lima at 4,100 meters elevation.
-
Entry: By way of a community of paved and gravel roads, 60 km inland from Nazca.
-
Proximity to Infrastructure: 120 km from Marcona port and close to the Mantaro-Southern Perú energy grid.
Exploration Potential: Miscanthus is taken into account extremely potential, with the potential for the invention of a giant, telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-Au system, overprinted by high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. (See Determine 1 for extra particulars.)
Determine 1: Location map of the Miscanthus Property.
Earlier Exploration Work: Sumitomo acquired the Property in 2018 and carried out detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys outlining an untested high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag goal. Upon receiving environmental approval (“DIA“) and efficiently negotiating an settlement with the area people for the drill allow utility, Sumitomo transferred possession to the Property, together with the accredited DIA, to GlobeTrotters in 2022. GlobeTrotters then performed additional detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys on the Property confirming the high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag goal and figuring out a possible massive, telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-Au system at depth.
Geological Options
The Property is located on the Western Cordillera and related to Miocene-aged volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks forming a part of the Tertiary Volcanic Arc which is thought to host a number of massive Miocene-aged epithermal Au deposits together with Barrick’s Pierina deposit and Newmont’s Yanacocha and Minas Conga deposits in addition to a number of massive Miocene-aged porphyry Cu-Mo-(+Au) deposits together with Chinalco’s Toromocho, Southern Copper’s Michiquillay and Rio Tinto’s La Granja deposit.
Excessive-Sulphidation Epithermal Au-Ag Goal
The high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag goal is characterised by a number of multidirectional, structurally managed silica ledges and vuggy silica altered outcrops inside an intensive 1,000 metre x 500 metre superior argillic alteration zone (Determine 2). This superior argillic alteration is characterised by intense quartz-alunite-kaolinite alteration, hosted inside weakly deformed, regionally brecciated Miocene-aged volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks of andesitic to dacitic composition.
Determine 2: Alteration map outlining the high-sulphidation epithermal Au goal areas with anomalous floor rock Au geochemistry. Supply: Globetrotters Useful resource Group 2023 and 2024, creator: Manuel Montoya
This alteration aligns with anomalous floor rock geochemistry, with as much as 183 ppb Au and eight.9 ppm Ag, and notable anomalies in Ba, Mo, Pb, As, Sb, and Hg. Moreover, this goal correlates with a sizeable, coincident low magnetic susceptibility and excessive chargeability – excessive resistivity geophysical anomaly.
Sumitomo obtained DIA environmental approval for 172 hectares surrounding this goal, permitting for as much as 40 platforms of drilling.
Copper East Goal
Current exploration on the japanese facet of the Property recognized a 3-kilometre x 1-kilometre Cu-Mo floor rock geochemistry anomaly, named the Copper East goal (Determine 3). This Cu-Mo goal can also be hosted inside Miocene-aged volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks which appear extra deeply eroded into the roots of the high-sulphidation system.

Right here, alunite-pyrophyllite-diaspore varieties wormy and patchy alteration textures (Determine 4) inside extra pervasive sericite-clay alteration, accompanied regionally by porphyry-related D-type veining (Determine 5). These options point out the transition to the higher a part of a telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-(Au) system.
Determine 4: Outcrop from the Copper East goal space with intense alunite-pyrophyllite alteration as wormy and patchy alteration textures anomalous in floor rock Cu geochemistry with grade of as much as 133 ppm Cu.
Determine 5: Outcrop from the Copper East goal with intense porphyry associated D-type veining anomalous in floor rock Cu geochemistry with grades of as much as 108 ppm Cu.
Copper SW Goal
Detailed mapping and floor rock geochemistry have outlined a second massive 3-kilometre x 1-kilometre Cu-Mo floor rock geochemistry anomaly, referred to as the Copper SW goal. This Cu-Mo goal is adjoining to and overlaps with the high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag goal and correlates with a big IP excessive chargeability geophysical anomaly. Additional exploration work is deliberate to guage these Cu-Mo targets, probably outlining a cluster of huge, telescoped porphyry Cu-Mo-(Au) techniques overprinted by high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag mineralization on the Property. A professional particular person for the Firm has not completed adequate work on the Property to confirm the work accomplished by others and the historic outcomes offered on this launch shouldn’t be relied upon.
Allow and Land Rights
Sumitomo performed an environmental baseline examine and an archaeological examine as a part of the drill allowing course of. In March 2022, they acquired DIA environmental approval, legitimate for 5 (5) years, to drill 40 platforms over 172 hectares to check the high-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag goal. This approval was transferred to GlobeTrotters upon acquiring title to those concessions and shall be transferred to Cordillera Sources SAC as a part of the acquisition. The property land rights are managed by a neighborhood indigenous group and several other personal landowners, who’ve supplied entry for the early exploration work accomplished thus far.
CEO Remarks
Patrick Elliott, President, and CEO, remarked, “This acquisition is one other strategic win for Forte. The Miscanthus copper and gold prospects are coherent, properly outlined and the historic work and capital expended since 2018 by Sumitomo and Globetrotters have considerably de-risked the exploration potential for Forte.
It is a true testomony to the strategic partnership between Globetrotters and Forte to generate and ship prime quality, drill prepared targets in a extremely potential area of Perú. Forte want to acknowledge the persistence and willpower of our companion, Globetrotters, in securing these prospects. It considerably mitigates the dangers related to the early phases of exploration, discovery and drill allowing in a premier mining jurisdiction.
Exploration initiatives of this calibre which have drill permits in hand are extraordinarily onerous to seek out not to mention purchase. Just lately, the DIA drill allowing course of can take as much as 3 years, so to have this in place is an actual bonus which provides large worth and optionality to have the ability to mobilize and drill the targets at any time.”
Associated Occasion Transaction
Moreover, as GlobeTrotters is the useful proprietor of greater than 10% of Forte’s excellent shares, it’s a “associated social gathering” to the Firm inside the that means of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Safety of Minority Safety Holders in Particular Transactions (“MI 61-101”). As such, the acquisition of the Property constitutes a “associated social gathering transaction” inside the that means of MI 61-101.
The Firm intends to depend on exemptions from the formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval necessities of MI 61-101 present in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 because the honest market worth of the Property and consideration payable due to this fact doesn’t represent greater than the 25% of the Firm’s market capitalization. The Firm expects to finish the acquisition inside 5 enterprise days. All securities issuable within the acquisition shall be topic to a 4 month and someday maintain interval pursuant to relevant securities legal guidelines and the principles and insurance policies of the CSE.
