Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / September 27, 2018 / Global Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or “GEMC”) is pleased to announce the following update regarding the continued exploration drilling program at its Werner Lake Cobalt project (“Werner Lake” and/or the “Project”) located in Ontario, Canada. The Werner Lake exploration program is part of a $2.5 million commitment to advance the project and is being sole funded by Marquee Resources for an earn-in of up to 70% interest in the Project. Global Energy Metals currently owns 100% of the Werner Lake 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.
