guidance.

3. Comprehensive support: Forte will benefit from assistance in deal evaluation, due

diligence, regulatory documentation, and strategic corporate negotiations.

“Russell and Brodie bring a rare combination of mining knowledge, transactional experience,

and corporate connectivity,” said Patrick Elliott, President & CEO. “Their advisory will be critical

as we evaluate strategic opportunities and position Forte for long-term success.”
