Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX:FSY) (FRANKFURT:F2T) (NAMBIAN:FSY) ("Forsys" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged AMEC to commence a
Feasibility Study ("FS") for its 100% owned and permitted Norasa Uranium Project
("Norasa") located in Namibia. AMEC is a leading international engineering and
project management firm with prior involvement in the development of NI 43-101
Technical Reports for Norasa. SGS South Africa has also been appointed to
complete additional metallurgical studies, which will include pilot plant
testwork. The FS will also include the input of other specialist consultants for
certain aspects of the study. These areas include an update of the pit designs,
tailings handling systems and bulk water and power supply. Some technical
aspects have already been completed to a level suitable for the FS including the
resource model and pit geotechnical designs.


"The commencement of the feasibility study is the next important milestone in
the development of the Norasa project. The FS will consolidate all accumulated
project mine and technical data," said Marcel Hilmer, CEO of Forsys. "We are
very pleased to have assembled such a competent technical team being lead by
AMEC. We are targeting Q1 2015 for completion of the study."


The FS will also incorporate the development of an engineered construction and
operating plan with considerations for social, environmental and water
management, additional permitting, geotechnical engineering, metallurgical
testing, process design and mine planning. An Environmental Impact Assessment
was previously completed in 2008 resulting in the granting of an Environmental
Clearance Certificate by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism to cover all
activities associated with the construction, operation and closure of the
Valencia Mine, the flagship deposit at Norasa. This work will be expanded and
updated to accommodate the larger Norasa Project. 


Forsys released an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for Norasa on March 27,
2014 that underpins management's decision to commence the FS. The economic
outcomes and Technical Report key performance indicators (KPI) are summarised in
Tables 1 and 2 below.
