Global Energy Metals Provides Update on Exploration Drilling Program at its Werner Lake Cobalt Project

Highlights:

Following the successful extension of high grade cobalt sulphide mineralisation in Phase 1 of drilling (WL 18-08, 18-09 and 18-10 awaiting assay results), Phase 2 drill program commenced with 4 additonal holes now completed (WL 18-11, 18-12, 18-13 and 18-14).

Hole WL 18-11 targeted the down-dip extension of the West Cobalt Zone, being an undercut of WL 18-07 which was successful in extending the mineralised zone (Figure 1).

Assay results from the last 7 holes drilled are expected over the coming weeks.

Results from the phase one drill program have further demonstrated the potential to extend mineralized zones.

Drilling data from the ongoing exploration program will target mineralisation at depth having the potential to significantly increase the existing NI 43-101 Resource at Werner Lake in an updated resource report.

Following the recent success of drill hole WL 18-07 during Phase 1, which highlighted an encouraging ~50 metres down dip extension of previous mineralisation, the geological team decided that WL 18-11 (Figure 1) was to be the first hole to be drilled in the Phase 2 campaign in order to test the potential for further mineralisation below WL 18-07.

WL 18-07 intersected strong cobalt mineralisation of 0.660% cobalt over 5.5 metres (from 198.5 metres), including a significant 0.7 m interval (from 198.5 metres) that assayed 3.150% cobalt, though two significant intervals below this interval assayed over 0.3% cobalt, representing a strong zone of mineralisation.

The drilling of holes WL 18-08, 18-09 and 18-10 saw the completion of the Phase 1 drill campaign. Total metres drilled for Phase 1 were 2,122m. Assays are pending and are expected to be received and released shortly. The Phase 2 campaign has completed 4 holes to date and core samples have been sent to the lab for analysis. The total metres completed so far for Phase 2 is 1,520 metres.

The Company will continue to release assay results as soon as practical after having been received, reviewed and analysed.
