ALASKA ENERGY METALS FILES UPDATED NI 43-101

TECHNICAL REPORT FOR THE EUREKA DEPOSIT, NIKOLAI

NICKEL PROJECT, ALASKA, USA

2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for Eureka Deposit Significantly Increases

Tonnage, Metal Content and Grade

Findings Align With U.S. Government Effort to Strengthen Critical Mineral

Supply Chains

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 21, 2025 – 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 “Technical Report”

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

Alaska, USA.

With the Nikolai deposit hosting seven Critical Minerals, two of which are Defense

Production Act Title III materials “essential for the national defense,” the announcement

aligns with a series of U.S. presidential executive orders to strengthen U.S. critical mineral

supply chains, including EO 14241 “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral

Production” and EO 14153 entitled “Unleashing Alaska’s Tremendous Resource Potential.”

Highlights of the Updated Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate include:

• The new Eureka deposit Mineral Resource Estimate (“2025 MRE”) has increased the

tonnage, metal content, and grade, relative to the 2024 Mineral Resource

Estimate, dated February 12, 2024

o In situ Indicated resource contains 1,190 million tonnes at a grade of

0.30% NiEq (0.42% NiEq including chromium and iron), a 46% increase in

tonnage.

o In situ Inferred resource contains 2,087 million tonnes at a grade of 0.28%

NiEq (0.39% NiEq including chromium and iron), a 133% increase in

tonnage.

• Chromium and iron have been included in the 2025 MRE. 7.88 billion pounds of

chromium and 117 million tonnes of iron are added to the in situ Indicated

resource. 12.29 billion pounds of chromium and 205 million tonnes of iron are

added to the in situ Inferred resource.

• The Eureka Zone 2 (“EZ2”), within the Central Eureka deposit, contains an in situ

Indicated resource of 818 million tonnes at a grade of 0.32% NiEq (0.44% NiEq with

chromium and iron) and an in situ Inferred resource of 951 million tonnes at a

grade of 0.31% NiEq (0.42% NiEq with chromium and iron).

• The Central Eureka Zone 2 (“CEZ2”), a subset of the Central Eureka EZ2 deposit,

now has continuity along ~ 2.5 km of strike length. This higher-grade core

contains an in situ Indicated resource of 225 million tonnes at a grade of 0.39%

NiEq (0.52% NiEq including chromium and iron) and an in situ Inferred resource of

246 million tonnes at a grade of 0.36% NiEq (0.48% NiEq including chromium and

iron).

The Report titled “Nikolai Project Mineral Resource Estimate 2025 Update” is dated April

21st, 2025 and supports the disclosure made by the company in its March 10th, 2025 press

release titled “Alaska Energy Metals Announces Major Increases in Mineral Resource

Estimate, 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 Alaska Energy

Metals website (www.alaskaenergymetals.com).

Alaska Energy Metals President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “The updated Mineral

Resource Estimate shows a very substantial increase in tonnage and metal content. Nikolai

represents the largest accumulation of nickel in the United States and contains six other critical

and strategic metals. With the Trump Administration moving to strengthen U.S. Critical Mineral

supply chains as a key policy priority, the deposit may prove to be very valuable to the United

States as a secure, domestic source of these metals. The next steps for the Company are

completion of metallurgical studies followed by economic analysis, and we expect to complete

these studies in the coming months.”
