DENVER, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Force Energy Corp. (OTC.BB: FORC) (FRANKFURT: FC2) (hereafter "Force", "the Company"), a junior Lithium and Rare Earth Metals mineral exploration company, is pleased to announce it has expanded the lithium resource on the Zoro 1 property in west-central Manitoba, Canada.
The Company recently completed Phase 1 of its exploration program on the Zoro 1 property, focusing on a historic resource of 1.7 million tons of lithium grading 0.95%Li20. Phase 1 consisted of locating, power washing and channel sampling spodumene-bearing pegmatite exposed in 16 trenches on the property. The historic lithium resource on the property resulted from the focused diamond drilling of the target pegmatite dyke exposed by these trenches.
All samples were analyzed at Activation Laboratories (Ancaster, Ontario, Canada), an ISO-Certified Laboratory. Analyses were by ICP-MS subsequent to a sodium peroxide fusion. Analytical results are summarized in Table 1 and illustrate the presence of significant concentrations of lithium exposed at surface.
"The results from the sample analyses further justify additional investment and exploration in this property," states Mr. Tim DeHerrera, president of Force Energy Corp. "We plan to pursue initial steps to begin Phase 2, which may include permitting and exploring joint venture opportunities or other sources of funding for the operation. We feel Force Energy is at a pivotal moment and are excited to move forward with Phase 2 of the exploration program."

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on current facts and analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determined, and assumptions of management. Forward-looking statements are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "aims," "potential," "goal," "objective," "prospective," and similar expressions or that events or conditions "will," "would," "may," "can," "could" or "should" occur. Information concerning oil or natural gas reserve estimates may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed.
Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Company. It is important to note that actual outcomes and the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include misinterpretation of data, inaccurate estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, the uncertainty of the requirements demanded by environmental agencies, the Company's ability to raise financing for operations, breach by parties with whom we have contracted, inability to maintain qualified employees or consultants because of compensation or other issues, competition for equipment, inability to obtain drilling permits, potential delays or obstacles in drilling operations and interpreting data, the likelihood that no commercial quantities of oil or gas are found or recoverable, and our ability to participate in the exploration of, and successful completion of development programs on all aforementioned prospects and leases. Additional information on risks for the Company can be found in the Company's periodic filings filed from time to time with US Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
