(TSX.V: FMC) ("Forum" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce that Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. ("RTEC") has
advised the Company that permits to construct a 99 km winter access
trail and installation of a temporary 65-80 person capacity work
camp to support drilling and mineral exploration at Forum's Janice
Lake copper project in 2020 and 2021, has been granted by the
Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment.
RTEC plans to commence construction of the winter access trail
that will provide access to a new camp location to the northeast of
Burbidge Lake. RTEC's intent is to complete construction of
the winter trail and mobilize camp, camp supplies and drilling
equipment prior to spring break-up for proposed exploration

exploration. Forum and RTEC's technical teams will be meeting in

for the next phase of exploration at Janice Lake. Further details
and timelines will be announced when available.
