Global Energy Metals Announces Drilling to Commence at Råna Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Norway
GLOBAL ENERGY METALS ANNOUNCES DRILLING TO COMMENCE AT RÅNA
NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT PROJECT, NORWAY
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / July 25, 2024 / Global Energy Metals CorporaQon TSXV:GEMC
| OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (“Global Energy Metals” , the “Company” and/or “GEMC”), a mul’-
jurisdic’onal, mul’-commodity cri’cal mineral explora’on, development and project
genera’ng company focused on growth-oriented projects suppor’ng the global transi’on to
clean energy, is pleased to announce that joint venture partner, Kingsrose Mining Limited (ASX:
KRM) (“Kingsrose”) has entered into a drill service agreement (the “Drill Contract”) with Arc’c
Drilling ( ” A r c’c Drilling”), headquartered in Finnmark County, Norway. The Drill Contract
provides for the commencement of helicopter supported core drilling at the Råna nickel-copper-
cobalt project (“Råna”) in August 2024 (Figure 1).
GEMC has a 10% ownership of Narvik Nikel, a Norwegian holding company which holds an 100%
interest in Råna. GEMC also has an 1% NSR royalty on Råna. Kingsrose has commi Xed and is
earning up to an 80% interest by spending $15 million in project expenditures on the project.
Highlights
•Drilling is due to commence in early-August 2024 at the Rånbogen prospect.
•Compelling targets comprise shallow, highly conduc ’ve electromagne’c (EM) anomalies
immediately down dip from mineralised nickel-copper-cobalt massive sulphide at surface
(Figure 2).
•Comple’on of a minimum 700 metres drilling will sa’sfy the drilling milestones under the
Transac’on Implementa’on Agreement (TIA) with Scandinavian Resource Holdings Pty Ltd
and Global Energy Metals (see news release dated January 18, 2023).
•Arc’c Drilling is a Norwegian owned and domiciled company based out of Finnmark County,
Norway, bringing extensive experience of opera’ng in arc’c regions with local knowledge.
Mitchell Smith, CEO and Director of Global Energy Metals commented:
“We’re excited to announce the commencement of the targeted drill program, which focuses on
the highly prospec9ve Rånbogen area. Our drilling efforts will focus on assessing the poten9al of
two high-priority targets characterized by highly conduc9ve EM responses down-dip of massive
sulphide nickel-copper-cobalt mineralised outcrop, in an area with no previous drilling with the
goal of demonstra9ng the growth poten9al for the area.
Last year’s drilling at Rånbogen, approximately 600 metres up hill to the southeast of these
targets, returned the best result of the program including 9.3 metres at 1.0% nickel, 0.3% copper
and 0.1% cobalt, so we are very much looking forward to receiving the results of the upcoming
drilling.”

Rånbogen Drill Program
•Two shallow, moderate to strong bedrock conductors were iden’fied through geophysics at
Rånbogen by Kingsrose in 2023 and remain undrilled (see GEMC news releases dated October
23, 2023).
•Each target comprises modelled EM plates situated at steep gradients in magnetotelluric (MT)
geophysical data, coincident with mineralised disseminated and massive sulphide at surface
(see GEMC news release dated August 8, 2023) (Figures 2 and 3).
•Target 1 is a 170m long, 100m deep, steeply dipping zone comprising two modelled EM plates
with conductance between 6800 and 9600 siemens, star ’ng <30 metres below surface.
Historical rock chip samples returned up to 1.6 % Ni and 0.6 % Cu ( see GEMC news release
- -3
dated January 18, 2023).
•Target 2 is a 150m long, 50m deep, steeply dipping zone comprising two modelled EM plates
with conductance between 1900 and 2800 siemens, star ’ng from <20m metres below
surface. There is sparse outcrop directly above the anomaly, but zones of disseminated
sulphide in perido’te have returned up to 0.6 % Ni and 0.6 % Cu in historical rock chip
samples 100m southwest along strike from the EM plates.
•Mineralisa’on comprises narrow (<3m thick) lenses of massive sulphide (pyrrho ’te-
chalcopyrite-pentlandite) hosted within a broader zone of disseminated sulphide in
perido’te-pyroxenite exposed in stream beds.
•This is the same geological, geochemical and geophysical signature as mineralised intercepts
drilled elsewhere in the Rånbogen and Malmhaugen area during 2023 (Figure 2, see GEMC
news releases dated October 23, 2023 and February 5, 2024).
•The targets are inferred to be closer to the base of the intrusion than the mineralised
intercepts iden’fied in 2023 drilling, which implies good poten ’al for high tenor
mineralisa’on.

The Company has been working towards this drill program through several sustainability and
permihng ini’a’ves, including:
•Received a dispensa’on for helicopter use from the Municipality (drill rig moves and
personnel/supply logis’cs)
•Executed land access agreements with landowners
•Engaged with the local reindeer herding district via the Municipality
•Communicated with Sami Parliament to iden’fy cultural heritage sites
•Completed baseline water quality survey
•Completed a drill site flora study
•Commenced a noise survey
Drilling is an’cipated to be completed in early September 2024, with assay results expected in
October and November 2024.

Global Energy Metals Corp. offers investment exposure to the growing rechargeable baUery and
electric vehicle market by building a diversified global porWolio of explora9on and growth-stage
baUery mineral assets.
Global Energy Metals recognizes that the prolifera9on and growth of the electrified economy in
the coming decades is underpinned by the availability of baUery metals, including cobalt, nickel,
copper, lithium and other raw materials. To be part of the solu 9on and respond to this
electrifica9on movement, Global Energy Metals has taken a ‘consolidate, partner and invest’
approach and in doing so have assembled and are advancing a por Wolio of strategically
significant investments in baUery metal resources.
As demonstrated with the Company’s current copper, nickel and cobalt projects in Canada,
Australia, Norway and the United States, GEMC is inves 9ng-in, exploring and developing
prospec9ve, scaleable assets in established mining and processing jurisdic9ons in close proximity
to end-use markets. Global Energy Metals is targe9ng projects with low logis9cs and processing
risks, so that they can be fast tracked to enter the supply chain in this cycle. The Company is also
collabora9ng with industry peers to strengthen its exposure to these cri9cal commodi9es and
