Vancouver, May 28, 2026 - Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG) (OTCQB: FRGGF) (FSE: 5YZ) ("Forge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a significant infrastructure milestone at its fully permitted La Estrella coal project in Santander, Colombia, marked by the completion and full payment of key surface facilities and supporting infrastructure that strengthen site safety, improve operational readiness, and support long-term project advancement.

Completion and Occupancy of Mining Camps

Forge reports that Phase 1 construction of the initial mining camps at La Estrella is now complete, fully paid, and occupied by underground miners, engineering and support staff. Built to support early-stage underground development, the camp includes 12 rooms with capacity for more than 24 personnel, with six dedicated sanitary units to ensure comfort and hygiene.

Phase 2 of the camp will be added as underground development ramps up and the workforce expands. The current foundations were engineered to support a future second floor, enabling efficient expansion as operations scale. The facilities are built for continuous, multi-shift activity, improving workforce efficiency while maintaining strong safety and living standards on site.

Road Access Upgrades Completed Through Community Collaboration
