Peak Hill Prospecting Update & New Company Website
Forgent plc has been informed by the operator of the Peak Hill gold-copper project that there has been a significant increase in third-party prospecting activity, indicated by a notable number of Section 40E notifications submitted by individual prospectors. While these notifications do not represent geological data, the operator views this heightened interest as a positive reflection of the project's perceived potential for nugget-style gold mineralization. Forgent continues to monitor developments and assess the asset under its option agreement. Additionally, the company has launched a new investor relations website at www.forgentplc.com, effective today, following its recent name change. Disclaimer*
About this update from Forgent Plc
31 March 2026 Forgent plc ("Forgent" or the "Company") Update on Prospecting Activity at Peak Hill Gold - Copper Project and New Investor Relations Website Forgent plc (AIM: FORG), the technology-led energy transition and natural resources platform, notes that it has been informed by the current operator of the Peak Hill gold - copper project (the "Project"), over which the Company holds an option, of a recent and notable increase in third-party prospecting activity across the license area. The operator has advised that it has received a significant number of Section 40E notifications relating to prospecting activity over the Project area. These notifications, submitted by individual prospectors, provide formal authorisation for prospecting access and are typically observed in areas considered prospective for nugget-style gold mineralisation. While these notifications do not constitute geological data or formal exploration results, the Company notes that such activity is generally concentrated in areas where prospectors believe there to be favourable conditions for gold discovery. The increase in notifications is therefore considered by the operator to reflect heightened third-party interest in the Project. Forgent will continue to monitor developments at Peak Hill and engage with the operator as part of its ongoing technical and commercial assessment of the asset under option. New investor relations website Following the Company's change of name, notified on 25 February 2026, Forgent's investor relations portal has been rebranded with effect from today. The new website, www.forgentplc.com , contains information on Forgent and disclosures pursuant to Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
