ALASKA ENERGY METALS FILES UPDATED NI 43-101

TECHNICAL REPORT FOR THE EUREKA DEPOSIT,

NIKOLAI NICKEL PROJECT, ALASKA, USA

Contained nickel for the Eureka Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”), effective

February 12th, 2024, equals:

• Indicated Resources: 3.9 billion pounds of nickel

• Inferred Resources: 4.2 billion pounds of nickel

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, March 15, 2024 – Alaska Energy Metals Corporation

(TSX-V: AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF) (“AEMC” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it

has filed an Updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (the “Updated Technical

Report” or the “Report”) on SEDAR+ for its 100% owned Eureka Property, Nikolai Nickel

Project in Alaska, USA.

Highlights of the Updated Eureka Technical Report and MRE include:

• The Eureka West and Eureka East deposits reported in the maiden 2023 MRE are

now connected as one deposit measuring 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) in length.

• A significant portion of the Eureka MRE has been upgraded from Inferred to

Indicated Resource. The Indicated Resource contains:

o 813 million tonnes grading 0.29% NiEq containing:

o 3,877 million pounds (1.758 million tonnes) of nickel

o 1,276 million pounds (578,783 tonnes) of copper

o 303 million pounds (137,438 tonnes) of cobalt

o 4.0 million ounces of platinum, plus palladium and gold

• The Inferred Resource increased from 319.6 million tonnes to 896 million tonnes, a

180% increase. The Inferred Resource contains:

o 896 million tonnes grading 0.27% NiEq containing:

o 4,225 million pounds (1.916 million tonnes) of nickel

o 1,040 million pounds (471,736 tonnes) of copper

o 327 million pounds (148,324 tonnes) of cobalt

Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report For The

Eureka Deposit, Nikolai Nickel Project

o 3.4 million ounces of platinum, plus palladium and gold

• A higher-grade core, present over the southeastern half of the deposit, has been

clearly confirmed and identified. The higher-grade core is open to the southeast,

and the Company has plans to drill test this zone in 2024.

• As a consequence of joining the two deposits together, the strip ratio has been

reduced from 3.7:1 to 1.5:1.

• Three parallel zones of mineralization are identified (EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3).

• Chrome and iron have been identified as potentially significant co-products of

mineralization at the Eureka deposit. AEMC will continue to evaluate the potential to

produce a ferrochrome (FeCr) product through ongoing metallurgical testing

currently in progress.

The Report titled “Nikolai Mineral Resource Estimate Technical Report” is dated March 13th,

2024 and supports the disclosure made by the company in its February 12, 2024 press

release titled “Alaska Energy Metals Significantly Increases NI 43-101 Mineral Resource

Estimate For The Eureka Deposit, Nikolai Nickel Project, Alaska, USA.”

The Independent MRE and Updated Technical Report were prepared by Stantec Consulting

Services, Inc. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 regulations. The Report can be

found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on the Alaska

Energy Metals website (www.alaskaenergymetals.com).

Alaska Energy Metals President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “It was fortunate that

the spacing of the eight holes we drilled in 2023 allowed us to include 35 other holes that were

drilled historically. This, in turn, allowed our consultant, Stantec, to produce a larger-than-

expected Mineral Resource Estimate update. We now have a very substantial nickel deposit with

a higher-grade core that could be mined early with a 0:1 strip ratio. This feature will be

important for project economics. The deposit is open in all directions and the higher-grade zone,

which projects to the southeast, will be drill tested during our planned 2024 drill program. So

far, our discovery-exploration cost amounts to about one-tenth of a cent per pound of nickel

discovered. This is a very good result for the funds entrusted to us by our shareholders.”
