FORGE RESOURCES EXPANDS INFRASTRUCTURE TO FACILITATE 24-HOUR OPERATIONS AND ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT AT LA ESTRELLA COAL PROJECT
Forge Resources Corp. has provided an operational update on enhancing accessibility and operational efficiency at the La Estrella project site through critical infrastructure upgrades, including intensive road maintenance and electrical enhancements. These improvements will enable the company to scale up to 24-hour operations, accelerating the development of the decline and boosting productivity.
Electrical upgrades to enable 24-hour operations
Forge is advancing its infrastructure with strategic electrical upgrades that will significantly enhance operational capacity and efficiency. As part of this initiative, electrical poles have been installed. A transformative development, these enhancements will enable the company to transition to 24-hour operations within the coming weeks -- accelerating decline development and driving productivity.
Key upgrades include:
- High-performance lighting solutions -- Two 200-watt solar floodlights and two 200-watt non-solar floodlights will illuminate the operational area, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.
- Advanced security measures -- Five strategically placed security cameras will offer superior monitoring, reinforcing site safety and oversight.
Road infrastructure enhancements
Beginning in March, the company launched a comprehensive road maintenance initiative to restore 10 kilometres of shared roadway leading to the project site. This effort is made possible through the support of the municipalities of Betulia and Zapatoca, which have contributed essential road-building machinery. Additionally, the company has provided critical resources, materials and a dedicated work force to aid in the project's completion. The initiative includes widening key access points, reinforcing structural integrity, and upgrading road surfaces to support increased traffic flow and heavy equipment transport.
As part of its commitment to community engagement, the company is working closely with the municipality of Betulia to execute vital road improvements that benefit both local residents and company operations. These enhancements aim to create safer, more efficient transportation routes, fostering connectivity and long-term infrastructure resilience.
P.J. Murphy, chief executive officer, stated: "These infrastructure enhancements mark a significant milestone for Forge Resources as we transition to 24-hour operations. By expanding our capabilities, we are accelerating the development of the decline, improving efficiency, and reinforcing our commitment to safety and sustainability. We appreciate the collaboration and support from our partners and local communities as we drive forward with these advancements."
Looking ahead
Forge Resources is excited about the momentum gained in both its decline advancement and infrastructure improvement projects. The company extends its gratitude to its shareholders, partners and the Beltulia community for their unwavering support and collaboration. Forge Resources remains focused on executing its development plans with diligence, transparency and a shared vision for success.
