Mineralization Expansion and Grade Improvement at Valencia-Forsys Triples Drill Program
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 13, 2008) - Forsys Metals Corp. ("Forsys" or the "Company") (TSX:FSY)(FRANKFURT:F2T)(NSX:FSY) is pleased to announce the second set of percussion drilling results from the 2008 exploration campaign at the Company's 100% owned Valencia Uranium Deposit ("Valencia"). Drilling in the Valencia Southwest Zone and Transition Zone has confirmed additional mineralization to further expand the Valencia resource.

The second set of drilling in the Southwest Zone and Transition Zone consisted of 15 additional vertical holes, bringing the total current drilling campaign to 26 holes, of which all show uranium mineralization.

Based on the excellent results received to date, the Company has approved an expansion of the drilling program from 10,000 m to 30,000 m.

Results to date demonstrate the following:

- Deposit expansion and grade improvement remains on track;

- The ore body shows good mineralization below the current pit "cone", opening the Valencia main ore body to the south, southwest and southeast and at depth;

- Due to higher uranium mineralization in PD-025, the ore body has potential to open towards the west;

- PD-031 is well mineralized, opening the deposit at depth towards the north;

- The ore body footprint at 325 m depth (380 m elevation) could have an east-west extension of 200 m wide by 300 m long as compared to the current pit bottom which is 45 m wide by 75 m long (June 2007 NI 43-101 Technical Report);

- Holes encountered weak mineralization with grade above cut-off (0.06 Kg/T U308) from surface to high grade deep sections, which should reduce stripping cost.

Selected higher grade results of the drilling in the Southwest Zone and the Transition Zone are shown in the tables below. Refer to the Company's website at www.forsysmetals.com for the complete set of results for all 15 drill holes.

(i) The results in this news release are reported as equivalent U308
    ("eU308"). The Company has calculated a correlation between grade
    thickness product of gamma counts (counts per second) collected by
    down hole geophysical methods and the grade thickness product of
    chemical assays from the Company's drill hole library (otherwise 
    known as GT Chem and GT Rad). That correlation has been established
    with over 100 GT intervals and is used to calculate eU308 in the
    percussion drill holes from gamma probe survey with a resulting
    correlation coefficient of 0.99 (estimation of confidence level).
 
Results from holes 21 and 27 through to 30 are pending, and will be reported in upcoming news releases.

Dr. Roger Laine, Chief Geologist of Forsys, is the designated Qualified Person responsible for all of Forsys' exploration programs as well as the person responsible for the contents of this news release.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors of Forsys Metals Corp

Duane Parnham, President and CEO
