Global Energy Metals Provides Technical Update on Nevada-Based Lovelock and Treasure Box Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Projects and Files NI 43-101 Technical Report

Global Energy Metals Corporation

Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - December 7, 2023 - Global Energy Metals Corporation (TSXV:GEMC) (OTC:GBLEF) (FSE:5GE1) (“ Global Energy Metals ”, the “ Company ” and/or “ GEMC ”), a multi-jurisdictional, multi-commodity critical mineral company with exposure to growth-oriented battery metal projects supporting the global transition to clean energy, is pleased to provide an update on its Lovelock Mine and Treasure Box projects (“Lovelock” “Treasure Box” and/or the “Projects”) announcing the filing of a Technical Report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) (the “Report”). The Report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company’s website, www.globalenergymetals.com.   The Report represents an important milestone for the Company as it provides a comprehensive and independent evaluation of the Projects. The Report is effective as of November 28, 2023, and follows the successful negotiation and closing of the consolidation of 100% ownership in the Projects. GEMC holding 100% ownership of the Projects simplifies decision-making and provides the optimal structure to oversee the rapid exploration and development of key U.S. based battery minerals projects at a time when securing future supply of critical minerals required for a North American battery supply chain is a top priority.   Mitchell Smith, Global Energy Metals’ CEO and Director, said: “ The Report represents a significant step forward for Global Energy Metals providing valuable information for our shareholders and investors and underscores the significant potential of the Projects. We will now evaluate and compare a broad selection of options for the purpose of maximizing  value and realize the potential, as demonstrated by the Report, the Projects have in the growing North American battery metals market. ”   Global Energy Metals Corporation retained Trevor Mills of Dahrouge Geological Consulting USA Ltd. (“Dahrouge”), to prepare an independent Technical Report on the Projects, located in Pershing County and Churchill County, Nevada, USA.   The Lovelock  Mine Property consists of 27 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims in Pershing County, Nevada and 63 unpatented lode mining claims in Churchill County, Nevada covering approximately 1,813 acres. The Treasure Box Property consists of 76 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims in Churchill County, Nevada, covering approximately 1,561 acres.   This Technical Report has been prepared in compliance with regulatory disclosure and reporting requirements as outlined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), companion policy NI 43-101CP and Form 43-101F1 – Technical Report. The Qualified Person responsible for this report is Trevor Mills, P.G., SME-RM, a Principal Geologist with Dahrouge Geological Consulting USA Ltd.   The purpose of this report was to provide a review of GEMC’s Lovelock Cobalt Mine and Treasure Box projects located in Nevada, USA. The report is being  used to consider, evaluate, and compare options for the purpose of identifying opportunities to maximize the value for GEMC shareholders. The report is part of GEMC’s strategic review to summarize the previous exploration conducted on the Property and provide recommendations for future work.   Interpretation & Conclusions: Work conducted to date by GEMC has successfully advanced understanding of the geology and mineralization at both the Lovelock Cobalt Mine Property and the Treasure Box Property. A combination of sampling programs, geophysical studies, and a drilling program have provided successful results that confirm historical mineralization and confirm work by recent owners of the properties. Underground mapping and sampling identified N40E and N75W structural controls and post-mineral faulting at the Lovelock Cobalt Mine. Results of a limited drilling program in 2022 indicate a 9- to 16-meter-thick zone of Co-Ni-Cu mineralization in the hanging wall of the N40E fault that corresponds to a chargeability high identified in a 2018 DC/IP resistivity survey. Geophysical magnetic surveys of the Lovelock Cobalt Mine property were able to partially distinguish major lithologies, correlate linear magnetic features with mapped surface faults, and potentially identify alteration within the mafic lithologies.   Magnetic surveys at the Treasure Box Property have successfully identified several faults within mafic HMC rocks that are interpreted to continue under the overlying rhyolitic extrusive rocks. Numerous magnetic-high anomalies also correlate with previously identified soil anomalies for base and precious metals (Au, Ag, Zn, Cu). A mineralized oxide zone has been partially delineated with trenching, surface sampling, and drillholes. Many faults interpreted from the magnetic surveys correspond to mapped surface faults highlighting the effectiveness of the method. Machine learning using geophysical data and remote sensing multispectral imagery was used to correlate clustered data to known geology and improve geological contacts and generate prospective targets. A ground-truthing sampling program of these targets returned positive results.   The successful results using geophysical methods encourages further utilization. Additional IP surveys and/or controlled-source audio magnetotellurics/magnetotellurics (CSAMT/MT) Hybrid-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (HSAMT) can be considered to provide further definition of geological features. Ground truthing of features via detailed geological mapping is encouraged. Gross geological units have been defined; however, understanding the details of the mineralized units will require quality geological mapping of lithology and alteration. Systematic rock and soil sampling will also provide important data to combine with mapping and new geophysical surveys to further understanding of mineralization on the Property.   Positive exploration results at both properties continue to indicate the potential at each location and follow-up work should be planned. Positive exploration results at each property to date suggest the potential to advance the extent of known mineralization. Known mineralization trends are also present within the patented claims near each property and may represent extensions of mineralization within GEMC’s holdings.   The Author concludes that the Lovelock Cobalt Mine Property and the Treasure Box Property are properties of merit and warrant continued exploration.   About Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. Dahrouge Geological is a North American mineral exploration, consulting, and project management group with offices in Canada and the United States. They provide professional geological, logistical, and project management services to the world’s mining and mineral resource industry including project generation, program design, geophysics, project evaluation and mine site operations.   Qualified Person Mr. Paul Sarjeant, P.

Multi-Purpose PhoneSpuds Keep Users’ Phones Handy and Charged, Wherever They Are

Prodigy Press Wire

Smartphones are an integral part of people’s lives today, with many people spending a significant part of their day on their device, whether for work, leisure, or communication. One of the main concerns of smartphone users is having enough battery charge for uninterrupted use of their device. To help address this concern, inventor Kim Diamond has created the PhoneSpud, a unique item that combines the characteristics of a decorative pillow, a phone case/holder, and a power bank. Named for its potato-like shape, the PhoneSpud holds the smartphone behind a removable and replaceable transparent vinyl screen which still allows the user to operate their phone. It also has a zippered compartment that stores a power bank, with a “belly button”, or a hole where the charging cable goes through. This allows people to simultaneously use and charge their phones anytime, whether they’re traveling, resting, camping, or any other activity they can think of. The PhoneSpud has a weighted base, allowing it to function as a phone stand for both vertical and horizontal orientations. This allows the user to operate their phone even when lying down on their bed. PhoneSpud Currently available in three colors and designs – brown, gray, and leopard print – more unique and entertaining patterns are in the pipeline for the PhoneSpud. It can also be purchased with or without a power bank bundled. According to Diamond, she came up with the idea for the PhoneSpud while she was sick with COVID in 2020. She contracted what was known as long COVID, with symptoms such as muscular weakness and difficulty of movement. She had to remain in bed for long periods of time, forcing her to quit her job as a sales and business development executive. Diamond also suffered a head injury in a fall, prolonging her recovery. Due to being mostly immobile, Diamond was using her smartphone in bed a lot to pass the time. She was looking for a pillow to support her phone while she used it, as well as a way to keep it charged even without a power outlet nearby. The tripod she had at the time wasn’t able to provide the support she needed. An inventor at heart, Diamond started designing a solution, which eventually became the PhoneSpud. During development, Diamond was targeting the PhoneSpud to buyers who have been using smartphones for most of their lives, such as those in their teens and 20s. However, she found out that the PhoneSpud also appealed to middle-aged and elderly users due to the comfort and ease of use it provides. “Using a smartphone is one of the few activities you can do while convalescing,” Diamond says. “I experienced this personally during my recovery from long COVID, as did my husband during his battle with leukemia. The PhoneSpud is both a useful and fun product. I hope the whimsy with which it was created, along with its practical use, shows the type of person I am and the company I’m striving to develop. Who doesn’t want a pillow for their phone?” Media contact: Name: Kim Diamond Email: kim@phonespuds.com Release ID: 834099

Drill Program Concludes Delivering Some of the Best Visual Mineralization in New Drilling West of Stripped Area

Renforth Resources Inc.

Pickering, ON – TheNewswire – December 7, 2023 - Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR) (OTC:RFHRF) (FSE:9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) would like to update shareholders on the completed drill program on the Victoria mineralized system which stretches over approximately 20km of strike length across the centre of our wholly owned 330 km 2 Surimeau property located near Malartic, Quebec. The program finished with 11 holes drilled in ~3500m of drilling, with each hole intersecting the mineralized package, demonstrating its consistency, at greater depths which has resulted in an improved tenor of mineralization.   Samples have been taken from each hole and submitted to the lab for assaying of the polymetallic package, results will be released once received, in the new year. The second last hole drilled in the program was located as planned, approximately 150m west, and 265m north, of the western end of the stripped area at Victoria.  This hole is located within a gap in the drill footprint, SUR-23-56 on the plan map below. Once drilled, this hole delivered some of the best mineralization seen in any hole at Surimeau, as assessed visually and confirmed with an XRF, and intersected the northern mineralized horizon seen further to the east but not anticipated in this location. For this reason, planned hole #4 was discarded, as it would miss, or be collared in, the northern mineralized horizon due to being too far south, and, due to wet ground conditions further to the west it was decided to finish the drill program with an undercut (SUR-23-57) of the best hole. This undercut successfully intersected the mineralized zones further down dip, with a separation of ~50m down dip between the pierce points, a good place to stop the drill program.   This drill program brings the total meters drilled within the ~2km of strike within the central Victoria area to 10,000m, with the most recent holes generally being deeper. Observation of the newest core concludes that the Surimeau mineralized assemblage is hosted in intercalated lenses of graphitic black shales and lenses of ultramafic flows which contain elevated Zinc, copper, and Nickel sulfides. The shales are comprised of deep marine sedimentary layers likely representing a distal VMS environment and range in thickness from.5 to several meters containing pyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite mineralization. The intercalated ultramafic flows and lenses range in thickness from several meters to tens of meters in thickness and host Ni mineralization throughout, generally grading in a range between 0.15-0.3%. Thicker or wider zones are probably caused by structural duplication resulting in a stacking of mineralized zones, apparent in recent drilling.    Zinc, and to a lesser extent Copper, sulfides have been remobilized and concentrated in the sedimentary shale layers into coarse disseminations, clots, nodules and occasionally into bands of semi-massive accumulations. The interaction between the sediment and ultramafic units often forms a calc-silicate contact alteration zone, where there is in enrichment of sulfides. Nickel tends to achieve higher concentrations here than in the ultramafics as it is drawn from the large ultramafic bodies into a calc-silicate contact alteration zone. At this time, Renforth is simplifying the Surimeau lithological picture to consist of the graphitic black shale, intercalated ultramafic flows and lenses subject to varying degrees of alteration and the calc silicate contact zone between the two, with the mineralized package sitting within the Pontiac sediments.   Click Image To View Full Size   Financing Renforth has repriced the private placement within the context of the market, the common share units are priced at 2.6 cents per unit, comprised of a common share and a purchase warrant exercisable for 24 months at 5 cents to purchase an additional common share, and flow through units at 3 cents per unit, comprised of a flow through share and a half of a purchase warrant, a whole warrant exercisable into an additional common share at an exercise price of 5 cents for 18 months.   Emerging Growth Renforth will be presenting today, Dec, 7th, at 1:45pm ET, registration link is https://goto.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1641026&tp_key=4a8f04de2b&sti=rfhrf   About Renforth Renforth is a battery metals area play with the dominant brownfield land position south of the world class Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault ("CLLF") in the prolific Cadillac and Malartic mining camps of Quebec's Abitibi. Offering exposure to gold, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and more, including lithium, Renforth's land position encompasses several areas of interest. Renforth's position is unique in that the both the battery metals mineralization at Surimeau and our gold deposit at Parbec are road accessible, with hydro power crossing the properties, in an established and secure mining jurisdiction which regularly ranks as Top 10 (as determined by the Fraser Institute) in the world. Renforth is engaged in the active exploration of the proven Surimeau battery metals mineralization, working towards a maiden resource statement, and the remodeling of our Parbec gold deposit to incorporate the ~15,000m drilled subsequent to the 2019 effective date of the last MRE.
