Forsys Metals is engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties. The principal focus is an emerging uranium producer with 100% ownership of Norasa, located in Namibia, Africa, which combines the fully licensed Valencia Uranium (“Valencia”) and the exploration stage Namibplaas Uranium (“Namibplaas”) projects, into production. The Company has recently sold its remaining 51% interest in the Ondundu Exclusive Prospecting Licence (“EPL 3195”) to B2Gold.
The company has the opportunity to capitalize on attractive mid and long-term uranium sector dynamics by focusing on enhancing Norasa. Forsys, through extensive exploration and technical programs has reported significant uranium resources and reserves. Norasa’s robust financial model underpins our strategic position to participate in an energy sector that is enjoying positive long-term fundamentals and to participate in the increasing worldwide dependence on nuclear power. In addition, the Company believes that potential exists to increase uranium reserves at Norasa including the potential for finding additional uranium below the existing pit shell and from known satellite deposits.
In March 2015, Forsys completed a NI 43-101 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) that confirmed the robustness of Norasa’s economics. The total Proven and Probable Reserve is 206Mt at a grade of 200ppm, which equates to 91Mlbs of U3O8. Norasa uranium activities are focused on:
- The Valencia Uranium Project has a 25 year mining licence issued in 2008. It is one of only a handful of new uranium projects around the globe that are scheduled to commence production in the next few years.Read More
- The Namibplaas Uranium Project is located 7.5km northeast of the Valencia deposit on the farm “Namibplaas 93” with a total surface area of 1,269 ha. The Namibplaas exploration licence (“EPL 3638”) has a term of two years until September 20, 2022. Read More
