“Forum Uranium clearly defines the image that we want to portray to the investment community for what we truly are – a company with a vision for growth as a uranium explorer and developer built on the foundation of a strong uranium management team. We have already proven our ability to identify highly prospective uranium exploration assets and we will continue to add shareholder value by exploring our Athabasca Basin properties and augmenting our existing portfolio,” stated Richard Mazur, President & CEO of Forum Uranium Corp.

The Merritt Coal-bed methane project will be transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum Uranium Corp. – Forum Development Corp., which will focus on oil and gas investments. Forum Development Corp. continues to seek a farm-in partner for the Merritt coal-bed methane project.
