Forsys is pleased to provide an update for the Company’s Norasa Uranium project (“Norasa1”) which comprises the deposits of Valencia Main and East, (“Valencia”), under Mining Licence (ML-149) and Namibplaas (“Namibplaas”) under EPL-3638, (ML-251 pending).
Highlights
Forsys has undertaken a comprehensive review and update of all of the parameters for a Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Norasa project using recent drill results together with the 2005-2011 previous MRE data. Confirmatory and geotechnical drilling, in conjunction with new survey information, including topographic surveys, down-the-hole optical televiewer surveys, trajectory surveys, and downhole gamma probe surveys, were used as inputs for mineral resource modelling. Re-interpretation of the previous database utilising all available data and modern estimation approaches has improved the definition of the MRE to more confidently support mine planning. This study, enhanced by an integrated and expanded drill program targeting existing and new areas together with a robust work plan of optimisation process testing and modelling, will help reinforce the upside potential of the Norasa project.
Pine van Wyk, Country Director for Forsys commented: “The comprehensive work done over the last twelve months on the Norasa Uranium Project has created a solid foundation to advance project development. The revised mineral resource model will help optimise the mine economics and process parameters. Results are expected soon from a column leaching test program currently being undertaken at SGS Laboratories in South Africa, which would establish the design basis of the planned heap leaching pads. With the existing ML149 permitted to commence mining, the large scale Norasa project is well advanced to take advantage of the strong uranium sector fundamentals.”
Mineral ResourcesResults are reported from recent remodelling of historical (2005-2011) drilling and recent 2023 drilling results. The Mineral Resources are reported within US$120/lb U3O8 pit shells, with a cut-off grade of 40 ppm U3O8 for each of the deposits at Valencia Main and East, (“Valencia”), under Mining Licence (ML-149) and US$120/lb U3O8 at 40 ppm U3O8 cutoff at Namibplaas (“Namibplaas”) under EPL-3638. The MRE are summarised as follows:
For the overall Norasa project, a conceptual open-pit shell constrained MRE for total deposits assessed from previous (2005-2011) and recent (2023) drilling results is estimated to be Measured and Indicated of 151.9 Mt at 136 ppm eU3O8, with contained metal oxide of 45.4 Mlbs U3O8 at Valencia Main. Inferred Resources for the Norasa project are estimated to be 224.5 Mt at 86 ppm eU3O8, with contained metal oxide of 42.6 Mlbs U3O8 (refer to Table 1):

Notes: | |
1. | All tabulated data have been rounded and as a result minor computational errors may occur. |
2. | Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, have no demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into a mineral reserve. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. |
3. | The Mineral Resource Statement for Norasa as at 30th April 2024 is reported at a cut-off grade of 40ppm U3O8 from within a conceptual pit-shell using the following assumed parameters:
|
4. | From the assumed parameters, a 40 ppm U3O8 cut-off grade was calculated, which together with the conceptual pit shell demonstrates reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) for the Mineral Resource. The assessment to satisfy the criteria of RPEEE is a high-level estimate and is not an attempt to estimate Mineral Reserves. |
Mineral Resource Estimation Methodology
A summary of the Mineral Resource modelling methodology is as follows:

Figure 2: 30 April 2024 MRE block model and US$120/lb U3O8 pit shells at Namibplaas, EPL 3638.
Figure 3: Shows the stacked concordant surfaces generated parallel to the 3 marble bands and orientation of mineralisation aligned with the strata and axial planar cleavages in the fold hinge (guiding surfaces hidden) at Valencia.
Figure 4: Shows alaskite midpoint strings (yellow) linked in parallel to the the NE-SW oriented strike of the deposit.
In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) a Technical Report outlining the mineral resource estimation will be filed under Forsys’ profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) within 45 days of the date of this release.
