completed the previously announced name change from BQ Metals Corp. to BeMetals Corp. In connection
with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange

The Company continues to move forward on the Pangeni Project, wherein it has secured rights to earn 72%
of the exploration venture, in the Zambian Copperbelt as described in the Company’s February 27, 2018
news release. The preparation of an independent 43-101 Technical Report is well advanced. Encouraging
historical results from initial core drilling of two priority exploration targets, some 20km apart, provides
significant motivation for further exploration work. These results also indicate the prospective geological
setting of this license that is largely covered by a thin veneer of Kalahari sand units. A number of major
international mining companies have identified this competitive region of the Zambian Copper belt to be
prospective for the discovery of tier one copper mines, and are conducting exploration field work. BeMetals
benefits from the support of strong technical and local Optionors on this project, Copper Cross Zambia and
Pangeni Mineral Resources Limited. The Company’s e arn-in to the Pangeni Project is subject to the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
BeMetals is driving its growth strategy towards the Company’s goal of becoming a significant base metal
producer through the acquisition of quality exploration, development and product ion stage base metals
projects. This strategy is directed by the Board, key members of which have an extensive, proven track
record in delivering considerable value in the mining sector through the discovery and building of mines.
Other Changes
In connection with BeMetals’ annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled for May 11, 2018, Clive
Johnson will be standing for re-election as a director but has stepped down as Non-Executive Chairman of
the Board.
