GLOBAL ENERGY METALS ANNOUNCES UAV-MAG AIRBORNE
GEOPHYSICS SURVEYING AND ORTHOPHOTO DIGITAL
SURFACE MODELLING ON ITS BATTERY MINERALS PROJECT
IN NEVADA
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / August 14, 2019 / Global Energy
Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1
(“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or "GEMC") is pleased
to announce the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (“UAVs”) to conduct
an UAV-Magnetometer Survey (“UAV-MAG™ Survey”) and deliver
Orthophoto/Digital Surface Modelling for the Company’s Nevada based
battery minerals project located approximately 150km east of the
Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada. The survey will be flown by MWH
Geo-Surveys International Inc. (“MWH”), a leader in the UAV space.
Mitchell Smith, CEO & Director commented:
“We look forward to conducting these airborne geophysical and topo-
graphical surveys with MWH, industry pioneers in drone technology.
The robust preliminary results of the initial geological work complet-
ed this summer are positive indicators of the potential of the nickel,
copper, cobalt project. Moreover, large portions of the mineralized
area is still being evaluated by the Company leaving the door open to
well defined drill targets for our Fall Program.”
The magnetic surveys, expected to commence early next week, will
cover high priority targets on the Lovelock project, a past producing
mine that reported high grade nickel, copper and cobalt grades, to
provide additional data and complement fieldwork conducted for the
planning of a Fall 2019 drilling program. The survey of the Lovelock
mine area will be used to highlight the known mine area and the
related faults systems. The area over the mine will cover 50-metre
line spacing to acquire detailed data being used to plan the proposed
drilling.
The survey would entail:
•Approximately 248 line kilometers of UAV Magnetics (12.4 square
kilometres, flown at 45m AGL, with 50m line spacing)
•An orthophoto/digital surface model flown by UAV for the
approximately 12.4 square kilometre project area
UAV Magnetic Survey
Our UAV mag system uses a GEM GSMP-35U sensor flown under a D-
RTK DJI Matrice 600 Pro hexacopter. Due to the high data capture
rate, slower flight speeds and lower altitude, the magnetic data is of
high accuracy and resolution. Data will be processed and presented as
TMI map (PDF) & ASCII grid formats.
UAV Orthophoto / Digital Surface Model
A WINGTRA One Professional Mapping UAV will be used to collect low
altitude photogrammetry over the project area(s) to produce a
detailed orthophoto and digital surface model. Ground control targets
will be laid out and surveyed prior to the photography. Flight data and
photos will be downloaded after each flight and processed using Pix4D
mapper. The flights will be flown at an altitude of approximately
120m producing a 2 cm/pixel resolution.
This equipment and methodology can yield, with clear sight lines to
the ground, average absolute orthophoto accuracy of better than 5
cm, horizontal & vertical. The digital surface model is produced using
GNSS positions of the UAV combined with photo matching and the
ground control targets.
MWH Geo-Surveys International Inc.
MWH Geo-Surveys have since 1980 been exclusively conducting gravity
and magnetic surveys and their related topographic surveys. They
have extensive experience around the world including surveys in
Argentina, Bolivia, Chad, Colombia, Cuba, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Finland,
Gambia, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Kenya,
Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, Nigeria, Oman, Peru,
Philippines, Senegal, Spain, Sudan, Thailand, Trinidad, Tunisia, Turkey,
Yemen and Zimbabwe. Additional information can be found at

While the UAV magnetic survey technology is new, MWH has been a
leader in developing a field proven system integrating the UAV
equipment, the magnetic system and flight controlling software. Their
UAV systems have been successfully utilized worldwide on numerous
successful surveys consisting of more than 20,000 flown kilometers.
