Global Energy Metals CEO to Participate as Panelist at the Fastmarkets Lithium Supply and Battery Raw-Materials Conference
GLOBAL ENERGY METALS CEO TO PARTICIPATE AS PANELIST AT THE
FASTMARKETS LITHIUM SUPPLY AND BATTERY RAW-MATERIALS CONFERENCE
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / June 19, 2025 / Global Energy Metals CorporaSon 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 President & CEO, Mitchell Smith has been invited to
par’cipate as a panelist at the upcoming 17th Lithium Supply and BaGery Raw-Materials
conference hosted by Fastmarkets in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As geopoli’cal tensions and trade measures — including new U.S. tari ffs — reshape global
baGery supply chains, Canada’s lithium and baGery metals sectors are gaining fresh strategic
relevance. Posi’oned as a stable, resource-rich neighbour, Canada is emerging as a key ally in
North America’s push for supply chain security and clean energy independence.
As a recognized global voice on cri’cal mineral supply chain security, Mitchell will join fellow
panelists on June 24th and speak on the panel: "Canada’s Hard Rock Lithium Boom in a Shi6ing
Trade Landscape."
This ’mely session explores how recent policy shiZs are accelera’ng investment, reshaping
partnerships, and reinforcing the need for regional collabora’on. Hear from the leaders behind
some of Canada’s most significant cri’cal mineral projects and ini’a’ves as they discuss:
•The role of Canadian lithium in North American energy strategy
•Naviga’ng permi^ng, infrastructure gaps, and investor confidence
•Petro-brine resources in Alberta and Saskatchewan: How can they be strategically developed
to posi’on Canada as a global leader in sustainable baGery mineral supply?
•How geopoli’cal risk is influencing the outlook — and what’s next for Canada’s ba Gery

materials sector
The panel will be moderated by Rodney Hooper, Partner - RK Equity and include the following
speakers:
•Sarah Maryssael, Lithium Chief Strategy Officer - Rio Tinto
•Ken Brinsden, CEO - Patriot BaBery Metals
•Rob Gray, Chief Commodity Strategist - Resource Capital Funds
•Mitchell Smith, Director, BaBery Metals AssociaIon of Canada - Partner, Metals & Mining -
Moneta SecuriIes - CEO, Global Energy Metals Corp.
The era-defining shiZ from fossil fuels to clean energy is set to deliver an unprecedented new
boom for commodi’es, and an opportunity for investors, as a range of cri’cal minerals finally
get the aGen’on they deserve due to their essen’al role in delivering emissions-free power and
transport. To meet global climate change targets, demand for minerals and metals, like cobalt,
used in green technologies such as rechargeable ba Geries used in vehicle electrifica’on is
expected to rise exponen’ally, and yet these irreplaceable building blocks enabling the energy
transi’on, are expected to be in short supply, in part due to concentra’on of produc’on and
processing.
But as the global ini ’a’ve to transi’on away from many carbon-based forms of energy
proceeds, so too does the urgency arise for sustainable sources for cri’cal components that go
into these green technologies.
Markets, miners, and manufacturers are assessing where, how, and when to invest. During the
panel discussion Mitchell intends to emphasize how in light of cross border tariffs, a growing
supercharged an’-globalism sen’ment trend and the push to regionalize supply chains
becoming a priority, demand for cri’cal materials con’nues to grow and that this scenario
provides a genera’onal investment opportunity. Financing compelling projects, backing strong
companies and taking interests in innova’ve technologies involved in the industry are just a few
of several strategic ways Smith plans to outline how investors can gain exposure to the growing
sector and secure much needed supply for the electrified future.
For those aGending the conference who would like to schedule a mee’ng with Mitchell during
the event or alterna’vely would like to schedule a one-on-one mee’ng outside of the event,

GEMC’s Lithium Exposure
In Q1 2025, Global Energy Metals announced that it entered into a non-binding LeGer of Intent
with NeoLithica Ltd. (“NeoLithica”) to acquire an eighteen month op’on to acquire a 19.9%
interest and a 1% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty over NeoLithica’s Peace River Lithium
Project. The Peace River Lithium Project, covers an area encompassing over 1,050 square miles
(277,444 acres) and contains 10 million tonnes of inferred lithium carbonate equivalent (please
refer to the NI 43-101 lithium resource es’mate technical report osted on the NeoLithica
- -3
website). The project’s resources are contained within the Leduc Forma ’on aquifer, a well
understood ancient reef complex that has excep ’onal flow rates and deliverability due to
favourable rock proper’es and pressure. Please refer to GEMC’s news release dated February 4,
2025.
NeoLithica is an emerging lithium resource development company that plans to incorporate
innova’ve direct lithium extrac’on (“DLE”) and refining technologies to produce baGery-grade
lithium compounds in support of Canada’s cri ’cal mineral supply chain. The company is
headquartered in Calgary, Alberta.
Global Energy Metals also has an equity posi’on in TSX Venture listed Electric Royal’es Ltd.
(TSXV:ELEC), a royalty company established to take advantage of the demand for a wide range
of commodi’es (lithium, vanadium, manganese, ’n, graphite, cobalt, nickel, zinc and copper)
that will benefit from the drive toward electrifica’on of a variety of consumer products: cars,
rechargeable baGeries, large scale energy storage, renewable energy genera ’on and other
applica’ons. Electric Royal’es has a growing porrolio of 43 royal’es in lithium, vanadium,
manganese, ’n, graphite, cobalt, nickel, zinc and copper across the world and interests in 32
lithium proper’es in Ontario, Canada.
Through the mone’za’on of non-core assets, GEMC has assembled a porrolio of high-quality,
high-upside equity investments in industry peers providing our shareholders a diversi fied
approach to the resource sector, mul ’ple commodi’es and jurisdic’ons. For addi’onal
