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."
