	NEWS Forum Defines Drill Targets On Molly Zone, Key Lake Road Project Vancouver, B.C. October 10, 2007. Forum Uranium Corp. (FDC: TSX-V) is pleased to announce results from a detailed structural mapping and prospecting program this past summer on the Molly Zone within its Key Lake Road property, located 70 kilometres from the Cameco/AREVA Key Lake uranium processing facility. A 1,200 metre drill program of 8 short holes averaging 150 metres (m) in length into this near surface, exploration target is planned in October/November 2007. Forum is exploring for basementstyle uranium mineralization similar to Cameco's 50 million pound Millennium uranium deposit in the Key Lake area. Geological mapping and prospecting carried out in 2006 discovered uranium occurrences within graphitic metapelite and pegmatites in a 100 m long by 10 m wide zone with grab samples ranging from 185 ppm U to 0.23% U3O8. A program of detailed structural mapping and prospecting was undertaken this past summer to focus on the "Molly Graphite Showing". Prospecting expanded the Molly Graphite Showing over an area encompassing 200 m by 50 m. A newly discovered outcrop within this zone identified a strongly mineralized graphitic shear structure which was trenched over its 24m length and its 3m width. Anomalous radioactivity was found over the entire length of the trench where a chip sample over 3m yielded an assay of 0.16% U3O8. The strong electromagnetic conductor along the Key Lake Road Shear Zone, a key locale for potential economic uranium deposits of the Millennium --type basement hosted deposits, occurs within 50 metres of this occurrence. Forum has contracted Major Drilling to conduct an 8,000 metre drill program from October 2007 through to April, 2008 in the Key Lake Road project area. Major is currently mobilizing its crews to the project area.
