Vancouver, B.C., February 1, 2021 - Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSX.V: FMC) (“Forum” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that Rio Tinto Exploration Canada (RTEC) has commenced mobilization of two drills, fuel and other supplies to the site of Forum’s 100% owned Janice Lake copper/silver project in Saskatchewan. The 110km winter haul road that was constructed last winter is in good condition to the newly constructed 80-person Burbidge Lake Camp in the centre of the property. RTEC has engaged Team Drilling, a partnership with aboriginal-owned Athabasca Basin Development to commence drilling mid-February.

The plan is for both drills to initially focus on the Rafuse target, a 2.8 kilometre long priority target of copper mineralization at surface that was developed during the mapping, prospecting and geophysical program this past summer (Figure 1).  Further drilling is also planned on the Jansem prospect to follow up on thick intervals of surface copper mineralization outlined by drilling in 2019 (up to 51.8 meters grading 0.57% copper).  For further details, see news releases dated December 3, 2019 and November 11, 2020.

Ken Wheatley, P.Geo., Forum’s VP, Exploration and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
