Forge Resources (FRG.CN) on Tuesday said it will apply for export permits to send representative coal samples from its La Estrella Colombian project to a U.S.-based laboratory for advanced metallurgical and thermal testing.

Results will inform classification within global thermal and metallurgical coal markets and guide further technical planning, it said.
