ENDORSEMENT OF AUSTRALIAN PROEJCTS THROUGH
NON-DILUTIVE FINANCING FROM SALE OF ROYALTIES
TO ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD.
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / February 27, 2020 / Global Energy
Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (“Global
Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or "GEMC") is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a leGer of intent (“LOI”) with Electric

Australia (the “NSR Sale”).
President & CEO, Mitchell Smith commented:
“This commitment by Electric Royalties is a significant endorsement of
the Millennium and Mount Isa projects by a mine finance firm focused
on minerals core to the new energy economy. This royalty sales pro-
vides Global Energy Metals with an attractive form of financing and
short term investments equal to our market cap through the spin-out of
a small royalty on a portion of our Australian projects. It also provides
an option to fund future development at Millennium in a non-dilutive
manner to the company and create an opportunity for cross marketing
promotion with a strong royalty partner.”
Electric Royalties CEO & Director, Brendan Yurik said:
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with Global En-
ergy Metals on the development of the Millennium and Mount Isa
Projects and the royalties will be an excellent addition to our diversified
portfolio of battery mineral royalties. The acquisition of this package is
consistent with Electric Royalties’ objective in establishing a new royalty
company with the potential to add considerable value for its sharehold-
ers. As this represents our first cobalt royalties we are extremely en-
couraged by the potential Millennium has in becoming a source of criti-
cal material needed to feed the electric revolution.”
