Erin Campbell, Executive Director, commented on the two

appointments:

“We are in full support of Hammer’s nomination of Mr. Hewlett to

our board of directors as part of this foundational transaction.

Alex’s wide international experience in the natural resource sector

and expertise in the Mt. Isa region will greatly benefit our focus on

growing the Millennium Cobalt project and the building of a new

cobalt district in Queensland, Australia.”

“As GEMC prepares for significant growth, now is the right time to

complement the Board with the vision, leadership and drive that

Mitchell Smith has executed in building a premier cobalt focused

company with strong assets in politically safe, pro-mining

jurisdictions. We are equally as excited to add Mitchell to the

Board.”

Alexander Hewlett, (BSc) MAusIMM, AICD, is a qualified Geologist

capacity for a New York resource focused hedge fund. Alex is a

member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

The Company also wishes to announce the departure of Mr. Ray
