today announced the partial sale of its previously purchased exploration data to a

subsidiary of KoBold Metals Company (“KoBold”), an exploration and mining company out

of Silicon Valley known for its innovative use of machine learning and artificial intelligence

Alaska Energy Metals Corporation President & CEO commented: “We are pleased to recover

some of our costs from the large exploration data set we bought earlier this year. KoBold owns

claims that neighbour our Nikolai Nickel Project and I am confident they will put the data to

good use. With it, it should accelerate their exploration efforts. We wish KoBold success in their

search for magmatic nickel-copper sulfide deposits on their claims. Any discovery success in this

emerging nickel district will benefit Alaska Energy Metals and Alaska generally.”

Earlier this year, Alaska Energy Metals acquired an extensive data package produced by

prior explorers of the district, some of which now pertains to claims held by KoBold. AEMC

has sold the relevant data to KoBold for US$175,000. The data has been clipped

approximately to the boundaries of KoBold’s Skolai claim block and includes:

• Rock sample assay results (>1,000 samples)

• Soil sample assay results (>2,300 samples)

• Stream sediment samples assay results (>250 samples)

• Drill core assay results and core logs (13 drill holes)

• ZTEM and VTEM airborne geophysical surveys

• Geological maps

KoBold Metals Chief Strategy Officer, Daniel Enderton, commented: “We appreciate

completing this data purchase with Alaska Energy Metals Corporation to further work on our

Skolai Nickel Project. We similarly wish Alaska Energy Metals success in their search for

magmatic nickel-copper sulfide deposits on their neighboring Nikolai Nickel Project.”
