Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / February 19, 2020 / Global Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 ("Global Energy Metals", the "Company" and/or "GEMC") is pleased to announce plans to move forward with assessment and development of the Lovelock and Treasure Box Projects for 2020. The goals are as follows:
1) Complete Geological Interpretation of 2019 First-Phase Exploration Program
2) Complete 3D Geological Modelling
3) Complete Inaugural Drill Program
4) Complete Earn-In of 85% Interest in the Property
Mitchell Smith, President & CEO commented:
“Results from the initial program in 2019 at the battery minerals project in Nevada confirmed the prospective potential of the overall land package and indicate considerable promise. Given the scale and prospective nature of this battery minerals discovery, unlocking value from Lovelock and Treasure Box will now form as the primary focus of the company’s 2020 exploration plan.”
The exciting discovery made as part of the initial work program conducted in 2019 was focused on defining structural controls in the known battery metal-rich areas and connecting mineralized zones into broader targets in preparation for an inaugural drilling program.
Given the very large exploration area, producing a property-wide geological interpretation and model of the structures and mineralization is an immediate priority and integral to a 2020 drill program that will allow for reinterpretation of historic data and a better understanding of the ability to unlock the cobalt, nickel and copper potential from GEMC’s Nevada-based projects.
The Company will focus its exploration program in the area central to the past-producing Lovelock Mine and will commence a first-ever drilling program to test the extent of mineralization. If assay results are encouraging then it is expected that additional holes will be drilled to test strike extent.

Advancing the Lovelock and Treasure Box projects and earning its 85% interest in the Nevada based assets provides the Company with high-potential, growth-stage exploration projects in an established mining district. Additionally it provides a path forward to develop a domestic supply of battery metals critical to national and economic security at a time when the importance of domestic mineral independence is recognized and being invested in by both corporate and government bodies.
