Forte Energy holds eight Uranium Prospecting Permits in the Republic of Guinea covering 3,563 km2 over three separate concession areas:
- Firawa
- Bohoduo
- Sesse
Exploration activities have been conducted in-house by Mr Bosse Gustafsson, the Company's Exploration Manager.

Firawa
Past airborne surveys have identified a 5 km anomaly lying in an East-West direction at the Firawa Prospect. This area was previously partly explored by means of detailed ground spectrometry, EM, magnetic measurements and soil geochemistry by Davy McKee.
Field visits by Forte Energy personnel have confirmed 25-year-old deep pits and trenches on the anomaly peaks.
An initial drilling programme was successfully completed during May 2007 and assay samples sent to Canada for analysis. This programme comprised 29 RC drill holes for a total of 1,809 metres of drilling, targeting a highly prospective 2km section of a previously identified uranium anomaly which extends for over 5km within Forte Energy's Firawa exploration licences.
Final results were announced (CLICK HERE) on 4 September 2007, including intersections of:
- 12m @ 771ppm U3O8 (including 1m @ 995ppm U3O8),
- 10m @ 652ppm U3O8 (including 1m @ 1,325ppm U3O8), and
- 5m @ 749ppm U3O8 (including 1m @ 1,020ppm U3O8).
A follow-up 4,000m diamond drilling programme commenced in October 2008 targeting a JORC compliant resource estimate for Firawa.
Bohoduo
Previous ground work by Davy McKee targeted a 700 metre long, irregular uranium anomaly at the Bohoduo Prospect. Previous work included uncompleted diamond drilling and extensive ground work, while a recent visit confirmed the presence of uranium mineralization. Airborne geophysical data indicates a 12 km long extension of the anomaly to the east.
An initial drilling programme was carried out during May 2008 and the Company is currently awaiting assay results.
Sesse
Historical work at the Sesse Prospect was regional in nature and comprised grid geochemistry with radon gas analyses, ground magnetics and EM. Plans are being made for a reconnaissance field visit during 2008.
