Appointment of president/CEO
The board of directors of Forsys welcomes Mr. Borshoff as CEO, president and executive director. As a highly regarded leader in the industry and one of the world's most experienced uranium mining executives, Mr. Borshoff has spent more than 50 years building uranium companies from exploration through development to production, creating successful mining operations and earning global recognition for achievements that have helped shape the modern uranium industry. The board looks forward to benefitting from his expertise and deep understanding of the uranium supply sector as he builds a proven team capable of implementing and executing a value creation strategy centred on asset optimization with the concurrent evaluation for strategic mergers and acquisitions. The company's goal is to now build a diverse project pipeline of development and production options in a resource-constrained uranium market experiencing rising global energy demand and future uranium supply shortage.
Mr. Borshoff commented: "I feel very honored to have been formally accepted by the shareholders as the company's president and CEO. I am excited about the growth possibilities for Forsys, soon to become Asarian Energy, working in this exceptional energy transition environment where nuclear is going to become increasingly important in satisfying the almost insatiable need for more power. After my unique successes with Paladin and Deep Yellow, and a highly credentialled team with me, I feel confident what can be achieved with Forsys, with the timing perfect to transform this company into something major by exploiting the rare opportunities for growth that are available and above all else having the wherewithal to deliver.
"It is worth repeating what was stated in the June 15, 2026, announcement; my ambition is to position Forsys at the forefront by establishing a multiple project portfolio to meet the demands of a sector that is facing anticipated supply challenges and I look forward to working closely with the board, shareholders and employees to realize this ambition."
