TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 11, 2011) - Forsys Metals Corp (News - Market indicators)(FRANKFURT:F2T)(NSX:FSY) ("Forsys" or the "Company") is pleased to announce further positive drilling results from its ongoing Namibplaas drilling program at Exclusive Prospecting Licence No 3638 ("EPL 3638"), located 7 kilometres northeast of the Company's fully permitted Valencia Mining Licence No 149 in Namibia, Africa. In the period from the previous release in May 2011 to the date of this release, the Company has completed the final planned Diamond drill hole and a further 80 percussion holes. From commencement of the program in July 2010, the Company has completed a total of 33 Diamond drill holes and 208 percussion drill holes; a total of 59,833 metres (8,224 metres of Diamond drilling and 51,609 metres of percussion drilling).

Marcel Hilmer, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Drilling since May 2011 has confirmed extensive mineralization in 50 of the 80 percussion drill holes, encountering many significant intersections of approximately 200 ppm U3O8 or better. The results from the Namibplaas drilling program are very encouraging and indicate the potential for significant high-grade areas. We are very pleased that the program continues to increase potential resources and the overall grade at Namibplaas."

2011 Namibplaas Drilling Program and Consolidation Strategy

The Company has completed 80% of the total budgeted drilling program for 2011 and is on schedule to complete the planned drilling program by mid-August 2011. The Company continues to develop the preliminary design of an expanded consolidated project (based on an internally generated resource estimate) that could produce at least annually 6.0 Mlbs of U3O8 from the consolidated Valencia and Namibplaas deposits. Preliminary pit designs and mining schedules are expected to confirm the potential of a consolidated operation.

Forsys remains on target to complete a National Instrument ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report at Namibplaas by the end of the third quarter of 2011. The Company has already published a NI 43-101 compliant technical reserve report for its Valencia property which can be found on the Company website.

It should be noted that the potential quantities and grades and other technical parameters in reference to the consolidation of the Valencia and Namibplaas deposits are at this stage conceptual in nature only.

About the Namibplaas Uranium Project

Forsys owns 70% of Dunefield Mining Company (Pty) Limited which holds the Namibplaas EPL 3638 which covers a total surface area of 1,742ha on the farm "Namibplaas 93". Situated 7 kilometres northeast of the Valencia Uranium Project, the Namibplaas uranium project is accessible by way of a newly constructed industrial grade road from the B2 highway to the Valencia project site and from there by a trail suitable for 4x4 vehicles.

EPL 3638 is in good standing with all reporting and environmental requirements up to date. No encumbrances exist on the licence, no royalties are payable and there is no liability for any environmental taxes or royalties at this stage of exploration. A baseline Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plan was carried out by Colin Christian, Independent Consultant, during October 2008 and approved by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism on December 11, 2008.

For more information of the Namibplaas, please refer to the Company's news releases dated November 8, 2010, February 2, 2011 and May 16, 2011 or our Annual Information Form, dated March 29, 2011, filed on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

NI 43-101 and Qualified Persons

Dr. Roger Laine, Ph.D., P.Geo, Chief Geologist for Forsys Metals Corp., is the designated Qualified Person responsible for the Company's exploration programs. Dr. Laine has verified the geological database that included review of geological description and interpretation, assays, and acquisition of radiometric data. Dr. Laine is familiar with the methods for Quality Assurance and Quality Control specifically applicable to uranium. Dr. Laine has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style and mineralization, type of deposit and the use of radiometrics in resource estimates as well as to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a qualified person under NI 43-101.Equivalent U3O8 at Namibplaas has been calculated using the correlation established by Dr. Laine at Namibplaas; that correlation is almost identical to the one already calculated at Valencia.

About Forsys Metals Corp.

Forsys Metals Corp. is an emerging uranium producer with 100% ownership in the fully permitted Valencia Uranium Project in Namibia, Africa a politically stable and mining friendly jurisdiction. Current NI 43-101 compliant reserves at Valencia are 60.5 Mlbs of U308 supporting a 17-year mine life and current Measured and Indicated resources are 75.5 Mlbs U308 with a further 8.4 Mlbs of Inferred U308.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Forsys Metals Corp.
