Forte Minerals Secures a Second C$5.7 Million Strategic Investment

“Not for distribution to United States newswire services or

for dissemination in the United States.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 27, 2025 – Forte Minerals Corp. (“Forte” or the

“Company”) (CSE: CUAU) (OTCQB: FOMNF) (Frankfurt: 2OA) is pleased to announce that it

has entered into an agreement for a C$5.7 million strategic investment through a non- brokered

private placement of 6, 333,333 common shares at C$0.90 per share with a second strategic

investor (the “Second Strategic Investment”).

Patrick Elliott, President and CEO of Forte Minerals, commented: “This is a pivotal moment for

Forte. Having a second well-distinguished strategic investor join our shareholder base further

validates the strength of our exploration portfolio and the progress we’ve made in advancing drill-

ready projects in Peru. This investment adds further depth, local partnership, and momentum as

we continue building a pipeline of copper and gold discoveries.”

Investment Overview

The Second Strategic Investment is expected to close on or before November 5, 2025, subject to

regulatory approvals. All securities issued will be subject to a statutory four -month-and-one-day

hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. No finder’s fees or commissions w ill be

paid in connection with the financing.

Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance Forte’s portfolio of four exploration projects

in Peru. A portion of the proceeds will also be allocated to general working capital and corporate

purposes.

In connection with this financing, the Company notes that its F irst Strategic Investor, which

participated in Forte’s July 2025 private placement, has a contractual right to participate in future

financings to maintain a 9.9 percent ownership interest.

Should that investor elect to exercise this right in the current financing, they may purchase up to

an additional 994,598 common shares at C$0.90 per share, on the same terms. If such

participation occurs, total gross proceeds will increase to approximately C$6.6 million through the

issuance of up to 7,327,931 common shares.

Strengthening Forte’s Position in Peru

The Second Strategic Investor's commitment underscores the quality of Forte’s exploration

portfolio and reinforces the Company’s credibility as an explorer with deep operational experience

and partnerships in Peru. The addition of a second strategic investor within three months

strengthens Forte’s base of long- term shareholders and it supports its mission to responsibly

advance a 19,000- hectare portfolio of copper and gold assets within the country’s most

prospective mineral belts.

“This is more than an investment,” said Elliott.

“It’s a partnership built on a shared vision to unlock the

next generation of discoveries that will help sustain Peru’s

position as a global leader in copper and gold production.”
