The Aberdeen project is an Early Exploration stage conventional uranium project, covering 95,519 hectares, and located on the northeast edge of the Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada, approximately 100 km west of the hamlet of Baker Lake. The Aberdeen Project is 100% owned by Forum.

The Company owns a 2.0% GRR uranium royalty on the Aberdeen Project located in Nunavut, Canada. Forum may buy back one quarter (0.5%) of the Royalty upon payment to the Company of $1,000,000 for a period of six months following the announcement of a successful pre-feasibility study. This option expires seven years after the royalty is issued.

Cameco completed drilling exploration work on the project claims between 2008 and 2012. The Qavvik uranium deposit was discovered in 2009 and the Tatiggaq uranium deposit was discovered in 2010. The claims were later abandoned. On February 1, 2022, Forum announced that it acquired the Aberdeen Project by staking 40 claims totaling 53,402 hectares of ground formerly held by Cameco. Forum staked further claims through 2022 and conducted additional exploration work on its legacy claims bringing its total claims held to 95,518 hectares.

The Qavvik uranium deposit consists of four steeply lenses 5 - 20 m wide, to a depth of 350 m, over a strike length of 250 m. Drill Hole DDH SAN-002 intersected four discreet mineralized intervals grading 0.92% U308 over 2.5m, 1.18% U308 over 4.3 m, 0.57% U308 over 1.6m, and 0.62% U308 over 2.2 m. The highest-grade mineralization intersected graded 5.69% U308 over 0.3 m. The Tatiggaq uranium deposit consists of two zones: the Main and West Zones, which average 30 m in thickness at a shallow depth of 80 - 100 m, and strike lengths of 80 m and 60 m respectively. Discovery Hole TUR-014A intersected 0.85% U308 over 13.7 m and 4.03% U308 over 0.5 m. Grades of up to 24% U308 over 10 - 30 cm widths with average grades of approximately 1% U308 were reported over these two mineralized zones.

Forum completed its drill program on the project in 2023, completing five holes on two uranium targets, Tatiggaq and Ned, for a total of 991 metres. In news releases dated September 12, September 26, and October 23, 2023, Forum announced assay results from drill holes on the Tatiggaq zone, including 2.25% U308 over 11.1 metres, 0.40% U308 over 12.8 metres and 0.82% U308 over 8.5 metres.

On October 1, 2024, Forum announced that its 2024 drilling program at the Aberdeen Project had concluded after thirty (30) diamond drill holes were completed between late June and late September for a total of 6,962 metres. In releases on November 26, 2024, and January 13, 2025, Forum reported result from the Tatiggaq zone, including 1.15% U308 over 2.4 m in hole TAT24-012, 1.31% U308 over 7.6 m in hole TAT24-014, 0.11% U308 over 35.3 m in hole TAT24-011, and 0.38% U308 over 0.3 m in hole TAT24-021. On January 21, 2025, Forum announced drill results from the program on the Qavvik zone, intersected a 296-metre-wide zone of uranium mineralization with grades up to 8.2% U308 in a newly identified lens and resulted in more than 20 assays with grades greater than 1% U308. On February 18, 2025, Forum announced drill results for the Ayra, Loki and Ned grids. The Ayra and Loki grids host strong clay alteration and elevated uranium values up to 72.8 ppm in the sandstone and 323 ppm in the basement.

On June 24, 2025, Forum announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement whereby Baselode Energy Corp. will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Forum pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement. The combined company will continue under the name "Geiger Energy Corporation". Completion of the plan of arrangement is subject to approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the affirmative vote of Forum shareholders at a special meeting that is expected to be held in August of 2025.

Note: Forum News Release titled, “Forum Drilling Extends Uranium Mineralization at the Tatiggaq Deposit, Aberdeen Uranium Project, Nunavut”, released on November 26, 2024, and available under the company’s profile on SEDAR+.

On June 25, 2024, the Company announced the initiation of diamond drilling on the Aberdeen Project. Forum plans on drilling approximately 10,000 metres (25-30 drill holes) largely within the Tatiggaq anomaly, as well as drill approximately 10 drill holes on other highly prospective areas - the Ned, Bjorn, and Qavvik targets.

On April 15, 2024, the Company announced initial data processed from its Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey conducted over the Tatiggaq anomaly during the summer of 2023, The survey successfully established new drill targets over a one plus kilometer east-northeast extension along the Tatiggaq fault zone, which hosts the high-grade Tatiggaq uranium discovery at the Aberdeen Project.

From March to June 2024, the Company completed the construction of its drill camp on the Aberdeen Project. Forum’s contactor, Inuit-owned Peter’s Expediting Ltd. completed 11 trips of drills, camp and other equipment by sled train to the site located 120 kilometres west of Baker Lake, Nunavut.

Cameco drilled 38 holes on the Tatiggaq Main and West zones prior to Forum’s acquisition of the project by staking in 2021.  Forum’s 2023 and 2024 drill programs were formulated to infill and extend areas within the inferred mineralization to commence development of a maiden resource.

Drilling in 2023 and now 2024 has resulted in a greater understanding of the style and geometry of the Tatiggaq mineralization:

  • U mineralization is hosted in steep, discreet lenses that can vary in grade and thickness along strike and width for a length of 310 m (West and Main).
  • Individual lenses vary in thickness from <1 m to 12 m and groups of lenses span widths ranging from ~30 to 50 m.
  • Mineralization depth ranges between 80 and 200 m.
  • Tatiggaq Main has 3 to 5 thicker, high-grade lenses (up to 12 m thick and grades > 1%, locally > 20%).
  • Tatiggaq West has 5 to 12 narrower, lower grade lenses (up to 35 m thick in total, grades ~0.1%, locally >1%).
  • Due to the discreet structurally hosted nature of the mineralization at Tatiggaq and the northwest trending network of cross faults, future drilling at close step-outs will be required.
