Forsys Discovers New High Grade Uranium Zone
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 14, 2006) - Forsys Metals Corp. ("Forsys" or the "Company")(TSX:FSY) is pleased to announce the discovery of outcropping high grade uranium-bearing alaskite granite approximately 1500 metres north of the Valencia Main Zone, on the Company's Valencia Uranium Property, located in west central Namibia, Africa.
The new "Joly Zone", named after the discoverer, is comprised of an approximately 1000 m x 25 m wide dyke. This zone was mapped radiometrically as part of the full coverage survey of the Company's Uranium Mineral Deposit Retention Licence (the "Licence"). A suite of geophysical surveys were carried out over the Licence to aid the Company with its mine planning model for the Valencia Main Zone. The radiometric survey was followed up by prospecting, resulting in the collection of 19 grab samples over the new zone. There is no evidence of any previous exploration or drilling on this zone.

Management of the Company is very encouraged with the results of the 19 "grab" samples. Follow up exploration work will begin in mid-January, 2007, on this new zone. The work will comprise geological mapping, additional sampling and drill road construction to facilitate a diamond drilling program expected to start in late-February, 2007.
Analytical results are reported to Forsys by Set Point Laboratories, located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Set Point was unconditionally accredited by the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) for the uranium pressed pellet technique (M053) on May 4, 2006. Forsys is also managing an intensive quality control program designed to monitor and independently verify the laboratory results.
Rick Bonner, P. Geol., Exploration Manager 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.
