Work during the June quarter was focused on the A238 prospect on the 286 Legleya licence and to the north
at the 284 Tisram licence.
A238 Prospect
Following the completion of the A238 Resource update in April 2012 by CSA Global, the focus of the
remaining drilling program was to test:
1. The potential continuity and potential extensions between the A238 main zone and the A238 NW
anomaly
2. The potential extension to the south of the A238 prospect under the alluvial cover
3. Potential extensions at depth to the North

During the quarter 14 RC holes were drilled, totalling 2,137m, up until the 6th of May when the drilling
program was stopped as planned due to the increasing temperatures over the summer.
The samples have been prepared and shipped to the ALS Stewart Group laboratories in Ireland for assaying.
Initial observations on site from visual interpretation of the RC chip samples and the down-hole gamma
survey suggest that the potential link between the NW anomaly and the main zone is further to the north.
Three holes were drilled 400m to the south of the previous line. None of these holes intersected any
mineralisation. Further investigation of the area suggests that the shear zone is trending to the north.
Republic of Guinea, West Africa
Firawa
The Firawa Project consists of two 100% owned licences totalling over 509km2 which are located
approximately 25km to the east of Kissidougou.

http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/801FORTE5.jpg
Mineralisation at Firawa occurs along an undulating east-west orientated ridge, of up to 60m in height
from the surrounding plain and is concentrated in Fe-rich parts of the laterite/saprolite which covers a
hard rock of granite, gneiss, mafic intrusive and carbonatite. The majority of the mineralised zones dip
moderately to steeply towards the north.
Previous Drilling and the 2009 Resource Estimate
The maiden resource estimate for the Firawa Project of 17.7Mt, grading 296ppm U3O8 for 11.6Mlbs of
contained U3O8, was estimated by Coffey Mining Pty Ltd in July 2009 and was based on the results from 29
RC holes totalling 1,809m drilled in May 2007 and 56 diamond drill holes, totalling 5,859m, completed in
January 2009.
The 2012 Drilling Programme
A second RC drilling programme at the Firawa Project was completed in February 2012 by AMCO Drilling Ltd
and consisted of 63 holes drilled, totalling 4,712m, including:
* 14 RC holes in the central section, which had not been accessible previously, to test potential
down dip extensions to the north.
* 24 RC holes drilled 1.5km to the east along the east - west ridge.
* 25 RC holes drilled 1km to the west of the initial resource outline.
In the central area 14 holes were drilled in areas that were not previously accessible to test the down
dip continuation of the mineralisation. 10 of these holes intersected mineralisation confirming the
extension of the mineralisation down-dip to the north at depth.
A total of 24 RC holes were drilled to the east based on radiometric anomalies identified from
information from a combination of ground radiometric surveys and an airborne survey conducted in the late
1970's. Encouraging results were obtained from hole FRW 213, approximately 500m to the east of the
original inferred resource, which intersected mineralisation from 5m below surface to 13m, for 8m at an
average grade of 347ppm U3O8. A series of shallow holes were drilled over a distance of 1.4km testing the
other radiometric anomalies, with poor results.
A further 25 RC holes were drilled to the west of the initial inferred resource, with 6 holes identifying
intermittent mineralisation between surface and 50m over a strike length of 0.5km. The best of these was
FRW 232, intersecting 19m of mineralisation from 31m below surface down to 50m at an average grade of
433ppm U3O8. Further holes were drilled to the west at 200m centres on radiometric anomalies but did not
intersect any mineralisation.
Figure 5 shows a cross section looking east with the RC holes FRW 202 and 216 both intersecting
mineralisation dipping to the north down to approximately 80m below surface. FRW 202 intersected well
mineralised bands alternating with poorly mineralised bands from 10m below the surface down to 92m down
hole, including 9m from 26m at a grade of 539ppm U3O8. FRW 216, collared further to the north,
intersected similar bands of mineralisation from 31m down to 83m, including a particularly encouraging
intersection of 21m from 62m in the hole grading 528ppm U3O8, confirming mineralisation dipping and open
down-dip to the north.

Following the completion of the RC drilling programme at the Firawa Project, the sample preparation was
completed in Kissadougou by ALS Stewart Group - Monrovia. The samples were dried, split and then
transported to the laboratory facilities in Monrovia, Liberia, where multi element ICP assays were
conducted. From the 63 holes, representative samples were selected from a total of 38 holes, of which 17
were mineralised.
Updated Resource Estimate
CSA Global (UK) Ltd compiled a Mineral Resource update incorporating the results from the historical
drilling completed in 2007 and 2009 as well as results from the recent drilling campaign.
Using the results for the bulk density determination from the Pycnometer and Archimedean methods, a
weighted average of 97 measurements was used to assign an average bulk density of 3.0t/m3 to the Mineral
Resource update to estimate inferred resource tonnage.
The updated resource model incorporating the historical drilling, recent RC drilling programme and
revised bulk density of 3.0t/m3 has resulted in an Inferred resource of 30.3Mt at an average grade of
295ppm U3O8 containing 19.5Mlbs U3O8 at a cut-off grade of 100ppm U3O8.

Bohoduo
Two drilling programmes have been completed at the Bohoduo Project. The first drilling programme was
carried out by AMCO Drilling Ltd in May 2008 and consisted of 15 RC holes totalling 1,000m. All of the
holes were inclined at 50 degrees. The drilling targets were focused on a 700m long uranium anomaly identified
by ground studies conducted by Davy McKee in the 1980's and interpretation of a combination of further
ground works conducted by Forte Energy and airborne geophysical data.
In the 2008 drilling campaign, 11 profiles were drilled over 800m at 100m centres; this was reduced to
50m where good scintillometer readings were recorded from the RC chip samples. 8 holes intersected
mineralisation from surface down to 96m, the best of which were BHD 003: 12m at 336ppm U308 from 6m below
surface and BHD 017: 24m at 506ppm U308 from 1m below surface.

http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/801FORTE9.jpg
In February 2012 a second drilling programme at Bohoduo was completed by AMCO Drilling Ltd with 17 holes
drilled totalling 1,277m. Two holes were drilled 200m to the west and 15 holes to the east on 200m
profiles. All of the holes were inclined at 500 and 7 of the 17 holes were sampled and assayed. Sample
preparation was completed by ALS Global in Guinea and then transported to Monrovia for assaying.
Two holes, BHD 020 and BHD 026 were drilled 200m to the east of the area drilled in the first campaign;
the holes were drilled to 50m and 60m respectively and intersected no mineralisation. A further 10 holes
were drilled 300m to the west of the mineralised zone identified in the first RC campaign, targeting
anomalous areas identified in field studies and the airborne surveys.
Notable intersections from the recent RC drilling include:
- FRW 200: 14m @ 447ppm U3O8 and 47m @ 348ppm U3O8
- FRW 201: 24m @ 311ppm U3O8
- FRW 202: 9m @ 539ppm U3O8 and 4m @ 445ppm U3O8
- FRW 203: 12m @ 351ppm U3O8
- FRW 216: 6m @ 324ppm U3O8 and 21m @ 528ppm U3O8
- FRW 217: 21m @ 326ppm U3O8
- FRW 232: 21m @ 414ppm U3O8
Average U308 grades based on a cut-off grade of 200ppm U308 and a maximum dilution interval of 2m.
Six holes BHD 023, 024, 025, 027, 028 and 030 drilled at 200m centres to the west identified intermittent
narrow mineralisation from surface down to 106m, the best of which was BHD 028 which assayed 11m at
345ppm U308 from 49m and 5m at 420ppm U308 from 69m. Another hole, BHD 031, was drilled over 300m to the
east and identified intermittent narrow mineralisation between 66m and 86m.
