Hassi  Baida is a superficial calcrete area situated approximately 50km north-east of the existing  Forte 
Energy licences and covers over 800km2. The NQ Aircore drilling programme concentrated on the central and 
southern areas and comprised of 214 holes and totalled 2,190m.  Samples are being prepared to send to the 
ALS  preparation  facility in Nouakchott, Mauritania and will then be sent to  the  ALS  laboratories  in 
Ireland for assaying. 
 
Following the completion of the drilling at Hassi Baida a short scout drilling programme was completed in 
the  covered area 7km to the south east of the A238 prospect. A series of short vertical air  core  holes 
were  drilled  into the basement aimed at identifying major shearing/mylonite/cataclasite and  alteration 
patterns from chip samples. 
 
Commenting on the update, Mark Reilly, Managing Director of Forte Energy, said: 
 
"We  look  forward  to receiving the assay results of the recent drilling campaign in the  third  quarter 
which  will  not  only  contribute to our better understanding of the  prospects within  our  Mauritanian 
licence  areas  but will also progress our wider goal of continuing to significantly grow  the  Company's 
resources base."
