TSX-V-listed Forum Energy Metals has announced the 2020/21 exploration plans on its Janice Lake sedimentary copper/silver project, in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

Forum’s joint venture (JV) partner, Rio Tinto Exploration Canada, has submitted a permit application for the new 2 000 m diamond drill programme, which will evaluate the regional copper and silver potential of the 52-km-long sedimentary basin.

Owing to ongoing Covid-19 concerns, the work plan will be dependent on Rio Tinto’s ability to safely and effectively access the project area.

Forum CEO Rick Mazur says Rio Tinto intends to start operations as soon as possible, while being committed to the care of employees, contractors and communities engaged in the project.

Forum and Rio Tinto signed a JV agreement in May last year, whereby the major was granted a four-year option to acquire a majority interest in the project.
