METALLURGICAL TESTING COMMENCES AT THE WERNER

LAKE COBALT PROJECT IN ONTARIO, CANADA

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / October 17, 2018 / Global Energy

Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1

(“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or "GEMC") is pleased

to announce that following the successful completion of a phase 1

exploration program that partner Marquee Resources Limted

(“Marquee”) has signed an agreement with SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”)

to conduct flotation and hydrological test work on the Werner Lake

Cobalt project (“Werner Lake” and/or the “Project”) located in

Ontario, Canada. The multi-phase Werner Lake exploration program is

part of a $2.5 million commitment to advance the project and is

being solely funded by Marquee for their earn-in of up to 70% interest

in the Project. Global Energy Metals currently owns 100% of the

Werner Lake Project.

Marquee has completed 5 HQ diamond drill holes totaling 452 metres,

one from the Old Mine Zone and four from the West Cobalt target

area in order to collect approximately 150 kg of material for metal-

lurgical testing of the mineralisation at Werner Lake. Drill core has

been logged and sampled. Drill core has been logged and sampled.

Core samples have been shipped to AGAT Labs for analysis. Once re-

sults have been received from AGAT , a composite sample will be cre-

ated and shipped to the SGS Minerals laboratory in Lakefield, Ontario

for study.

The composited sample will be stage-crushed to pass 10 mesh and

homogenized. A head sample will be selected and submitted for Co,

Cu, Fe and As analysis.

Metallurgical work will include:

•batch floatation testing to identify appropriate conditions for sub-

sequent bulk floatation testing to produce cobalt concentrate,

•batch POX testing to establish conditions for the extraction of

cobalt from bulk concentrates,

•bulk batch POX testing to produce cobalt PLS for downstream test-

ing, and

•bench scale solution treatment to evaluate potential cobalt and

copper products.

The program is expected to take 3 months to complete once the lab

has received the sample and is critical next step when assessing po-

tential off take arrangements with end users of the product.

The phase two drill program is ongoing with Marquee having now

completed 15 holes at the Project. The company expects to report

the results of the assays from this phase 2 drilling campaign shortly.
