Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY)
(“Forsys” or the “Company”)
Forsys is pleased to report that it has
commenced a bulk sampling program with an inaugural blast attended
by local dignitaries, including the Ministry of Mining and local
leaders, at Valencia (ML 149), at the Company’s Norasa Uranium
project (“Norasa1”). The Company continues to conduct substantial
metallurgical testwork at Valencia and the excavation of a box cut
will facilitate the collection of fresh ore for further large
column and heap leaching pilot testing.

At the blast Forsys’ Country Director, Mr. van
Wyk on behalf of the Company said: “We are working closely with the
Namibian government to advance the Norasa project, in line with the
nation’s stated strategy of supporting the development of new
mines. Norasa represents a great opportunity to boost the nation’s
economy, increase export earnings, and create jobs. We are working
hard to ensure our plans for construction are fully optimized and
sustainable — both environmentally and socially. Today’s blast
symbolizes our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and
economic growth for all stakeholders.”
The Mayor of Arandis, His Worship Risto
Kapendah, delivered a keynote address where he highlighted the
significant impact Norasa is expected to have on the local economy
and community. He emphasized the future potential for Arandis to
become a central hub for the Valencia uranium mine's workforce.
“Considering that the mine will employ over 1,000 personnel, my
hope is to see Arandis town housing Valencia uranium mine employees
and the buses driving in our streets transporting employees,” he
stated. “Valencia is strategically located near our town, being
less than 50 kilometres away.”
The event was attended by other dignitaries,
including the Honourable Tjekero Tweya - Chairperson of the
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources, and
representatives from the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Also in
attendance were His Worship Cllr David Am-!Gabeb, Deputy Mayor of
Swakopmund Municipality.
