ABOUT FORTE MINERALS CORP

The Company is committed to maximizing shareholder value through acquiring, exploring,

discovering, and developing copper and gold projects in Perú . Moving rapidly along the line of

opportunity towards a value maxima is very attractive to investors. Signif icant value growth is

generated when early -stage exploration moves towards resource definition while zoning in on

target development and eliminating the early-stage grassroots risk. All three of Forte’s properties

offer this opportunity, with tremendous upside considering their geological potential.
