VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 5, 2024 – Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSX-V:
AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF) (“AEMC” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of the
first tranche of the previously announced non-brokered offering of 22,255,429 special

Each Special Warrant will automatically convert into one unit of the Company (each a “Unit”),

and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the
holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of three years
following the date of issue.

with the applicable securities regulatory authorities qualifying distribution of the Units
underlying the Special Warrants (the “Prospectus Supplement”), and (ii) the date that is four
months and one day after the closing of the Offering.
The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Prospectus Supplement
within 60 days of the closing of the Offering (not including the date of closing), provided,
however, that there is no assurance that a Prospectus Supplement will be filed with the
securities commissions, prior to the expiry of the statutory four-month hold period.
The Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of approximately $181,261 to certain finders,
being 7% of the gross proceeds raised by each such finder. As additional compensation the
Company issued an aggregate of 1,208,409 non -transferable broker warrants (each a
“Broker Warrant”) to such finders. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable for one Share at the
exercise price of $0.20 for a period of three years.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for Canwell prospect drilling at the Nikolai
Nickel Project in Alaska, metallurgical studies, working capital and marketing purposes.
Prior to the filing of the Prospectus Supplement and the automatic conversion of the Special
Warrants, the securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period
from the date of closing of the Offering in addition to any other restrictions under applicable
law.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it will undertake a non -brokered private
placement (“NBPP”) of units (the “NBPP Units”) for gross proceeds of up to $341,250. Each
NBPP Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) and one common
share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to
acquire one Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of three years following the date
of issue. The Company intends to pay the same cash finder’s fee and issue the same number
of Broker Warrants as is described under the Offering. The NBPP is subject to TSX.V approval.
The securities issued in connection with the NBPP will be subject to a four-month hold
period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
