BeMetals Commences Trading On the OTCQB® Venture Market

And Obtains DTC Eligibility

VANCOUVER, CANADA - BeMetals Corp. (“BeMetals” or the “Company”) (TSXV: BMET) (OTCQB: BMTLF)

is pleased to announce it has qualified to upgrade to the OTCQB® Venture Market (“OTCQB”) in the United

States and will begin trading on the OTCQB under the symbol “BMTLF” effective September 16, 2019.

“We are delighted to launch on the OTCQB and provide existing and future U.S. shareholders with an

upgraded trading platform,” said John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals. “Given we are advancing

the high-grade South Mountain Zinc-Silver Polymetallic Project in Idaho and our other quality projects, we

believe that trading on the OTCQB will provide additional liquidity and help us expand BeMetals’ investor

presence in the United States.”

The OTCQB® Venture Market, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., requires companies to remain current

and compliant in their reporting, and undergo an annual verification and management certification

process. These standards provide improved investor confidence through verified informat ion, as well as

greater information availability and transparent prices for investors with Real Time Level 2 quotes. United

States investors can find current financial disclosure and Real- Time Level 2 quotes for the Company on

www.otcmarkets.com.

BeMetals will continue to trade and build its, already strong, investor base on the TSX Venture Exchange

(TSXV) under its existing symbol “BMET”.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has secured eligibility by The Depository Trust Company

(“DTC”) for its common shares which trade on the OTCQB in the United States. DTC is a subsidiary of the

Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, a U.S. company that manages the electronic clearing and

settlement of publicly traded companies. DTC eligibility permits shares of BeMetals to be distributed,

settled and serviced through DTC’s automated processes, leveraging the efficiencies created through the

electronic clearing and settlement of securities. DTC services provide cost benefits for investors and

brokers trading Canadian securities in the United States.
