BeMetals’ New Core Results Confirm Expanded Footprint of Copper Mineralization and

Satellite Target Zones at Pangeni Copper Project, Zambia

Vancouver, British Columbia – BeMetals Corp. (TSXV: BMET, OTCQB: BMTLF, Frankfurt: 1OI.F) (the “Company” or “BeMetals”)

is pleased to announce the recently completed core drilling program has confirmed the significantly expanded footprint of the

D-Prospect copper mineralization and its related target zones at the Pangeni Copper Project ( “Pangeni” or the “Project” or the

“Property”) in Zambia.

These new drilling results include an anomalous core intersection of copper mineralization, strongly motivating follow-up drilling,

at hole F4 -C3 some 1.3-kilometres southwest and along trend of the D -Prospect’s Nkala Zone . T o date, the Company has

discovered and traced copper mineralization with core drilling from immediately under the sand cover for some 1.7 kilometres,

and t he combined trend extent of the D -Prospect, including the new F4 -C3 target mineralization, is now approximately 3

kilometres. Within th e D -Prospect the higher-grade Nkala Zone has multiple drill intersections with copper grades and

mineralized widths that meet or exceed those of certain large- scale copper mines in the Domes Region of the Zambian

Copperbelt (1) (2) (3).

In addition, this recent core drilling has intersected a relatively lower-grade but wide zone of 31.50 metres at the Central Target,

approximately 8 kilometres to the southeast of the D-Prospect, motivating follow up drilling at this satellite prospect.

HIGHLIGHTS OF RECENT H2 AND H1 2024 CORE DRILLING PROGRAM:

• Nkala Zone: D12-C1 intersected 21.52 metres grading 0.30% copper (“Cu”), including 7.70 metres grading 0.35% Cu and

including 6.96 metres grading 0.34% Cu.

• Nkala Zone Extension Target: Some 1.3 kilometres along trend from the main Nkala Zone, drill hole F4-C3 intersected a

zone of 9.10 metres grading 0.11% Cu with associated kyanite and scapolite alteration similar to the D-Prospect’s Nkala

Zone.

• Central Target: CT4 intersected 31.50 metres grading 0.10% Cu with additional anomalous zones above and below this

intersection.

• D-Prospect Nkala Zone (H1 2024 Drilling*): Hole D24-C1 intersected 16.16 metres grading 0.74% Cu with 533 parts per

million “ppm” cobalt (“Co”), including 5.50 metres grading 0.93% Cu with 701ppm Co. Hole D11-C3 intersected 23.20

metres grading 0.54% Cu with 263ppm Co, including 7.90 metres 0.92% Cu with 453p pm Co. Hole D22-C2 intersected

14.78 metres grading 0.42% Cu, including 4.88 metres grading 0.65% Cu and D22-C1 intersected 18.10 metres grading

0.70% Cu. (*Previously reported)

John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals, stated “ We are pleased to report th e latest core drilling program has returned

results indicating that the discovered D-Prospect copper mineralization and its target zones, at the Pangeni Copper Project have

been significantly expanded. Following the recent drilling, the overall scale of the D-Prospect copper mineralization and its target

footprint are now comparable to that of the Lumwana Copper Mine’s Chimiwungo Deposit. The mineralization is now interpreted

to extend for some 3 kilometres along trend for the Nkala and Nkala Zone Extension with the additional target zones of Nkala

Northwest and R Target in close proximity. These recent H2 2024 results combined with the H1 2024 drill intersections of the

Nkala Zone, advance and reinforce the potential for the Pangeni project to deliver a large-scale copper discovery.

Furthermore, a wide zone of over 30 metres of anomalous copper mineralization has been intersected in drill hole CT4 at the

Central T arget, some 8 kilometres to the southeast of the D- Prospect area . This new inter val with its associated alteration

indicates that further exploration of the Central Target is motivated, and the Company’s geological team will compile its existing

data since 2016 for this prospect with the new drill information to guide future targeting. The Company expects to update its

detailed geological interpretation of both the D- Prospect and Central Target with the recent drilling results shortly and plans to

conduct a fully funded follow-up phase of core drilling to commence in Q 1, 2025. Overall, the 2024 results have increased the

scale potential and improved our understanding of the discovered copper mineralization at the Pangeni Project, and we look

forward to commencing drilling shortly.”

PANGENI COPPER PROJECT: RECENT CORE DRILLING RESULTS AND D-PROSPECT BACKGROUND

Figure 1 illustrates the comparable footprint scale of the drilled D-Prospect copper mineralization that includes the Nkala Zone ,

and its related target zones, to that of the Lumwana Mine’s Chimiwungo Deposit. The distribution of these targets zones and the

core drilled copper mineralization bears spatial similarity to that of the Barrick Gold’s Lumwana Copper Mine with its mineralized

shoots (zones) at the Chimiwungo Deposit. Within the D -Prospect the higher -grade Nkala Zone has multiple drill intersections

(such as previously reported D24-C1, D22-C1, D22-C2, D11-C3) with copper grades and mineralized widths that meet or exceed

those of certain large-scale copper mines in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt (1) (2) (3). In addition to these similarities

the copper mineralization at the D -Prospect-Nkala Zone bears many of the geological hallmarks of the Lumwana Mine deposits

in terms of mineralization style, alteration, structure and host rocks.

Mine Chimiwungo Deposit with Selected H2 2024 Drilling Results (*Equinox Lumwana Project, Technical Report, Zambia, May 2011 and Geology

Drillhole F4-C3 with its important anomalous intersection of 9.10 metres at 0.1% copper appears to follow an extension of the

currently interpreted trend of the D-Prospect mineralization some 1.3 kilometres southwest of the Nkala Zone. This new target

zone will be further tested in the next drilling program in 2025. In addition, both the Nkala Northwest and R target zone s have

thus far only been tested by single core drill holes (see Figure 2) and merit further priority investigation. These compelling targets

in close proximity to the Nkala Zone will be tested in the next phase of core drilling.

It is currently thought that the D27 line drill holes (D27 -C1 & C2) have been influenced by a structur e feature causing an offset

or local disruption to the mineralization, as seen in the magnetic data in this specific area (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Such

potentially similar features are also observed at the Lumwana Mine locally disrupting the mineralized shoots such as the ‘South

Fault Zone’ (see inset map of Figure 1).

Figure 1 also shows the location of new drillhole CT4 which was completed at the Central Target and returned an interval of

31.50 metres grading 0.1% copper. This wide zone of anomalous copper mineralization adds significant value to the limited

amount of previous drilling completed by the Company at the Central Target. CT4 and the previous drilling at th is target are

reminiscent of the geological and grade interval results initially found at the D-Prospect. Which with subsequent interpretation

led to the drilling of the Nkala Zone , with its copper grades and mineralized widths that meet or exceed those of certain large-

scale copper mines in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt (1) (2) (3). The project team will review this new intersection

with the other geological data at the Central Target to determine optimum targets for further testing at this compelling prospect.

Figure 2 provides in more detail the core drilling results from the H1 and H2, 2024 drilling at the D-Prospect with previous drilling

by the Company on the projects magnetic survey data. Recently completed drillhole D12-C1 has confirmed the development of

the Nkala Zone in its northeastern sector with its interval of 21.52 metres grading 0.30% copper, including 7.70 metres grading

0.35% Copper and including 6.96 metres grading 0.34% copper.

Figure 2: Locations of Core Drill Holes with Target Zones, D-Prospect-Nkala Zone and Aircore Drilling

The results of core drilling at the D- Prospect to date have identified copper mineralization over 1.7 kilometres along trend, and

show the higher-grade Nkala Zone, developed within the overall 1.7 kilometres envelope, for some 1.2 kilometres. Some of these

previously reported Nkala Zone intercepts include:

D24-C1: 16.16m grading 0.74% Cu with 533 ppm Co, including 5.50m grading 0.93% Cu with 701ppm Co

D22-C1: 18.10m grading 0.70% Cu, with 285 ppm Co, including 4.00m, grading 1.04% Cu and 4.60m grading 0.89% Cu

D22-C2: 14.78m grading 0.42% Cu, including 4.88m grading 0.65% Cu

D11-C3: 23.20m grading 0.54% Cu with 263ppm Co, including 7.90m 0.92% Cu with 453ppm Co

D14-C2: 31.50m grading 0.33% Cu, including 17.10m grading 0.40% Cu

PANGENI COPPER PROJECT: OVERVIEW

The Pangeni Project copper mineralization, discovered by the Company, is a westerly extension of the Copperbelt concealed

under relatively thin but extensive Kalahari sand cover. Importantly, the copper mineralization bears many of the hallmarks in

terms of style, width, grade, and geology to deposits that are mined in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt, specifically

the basement hosted, large scale Lumwana Copper Mine (see Figure 3). The open pit Sentinel Copper Mine, operated by First

Quantum Minerals Ltd., is located approximately 130 kilometres northeast of the Pangeni Project and currently represents the

westernmost copper mine of the Domes Region within the prolific Zambian Copperbelt (see Figure 3).

Table 1 Notes: Intertek Genalysis completed the analytical work with the core samples processed at their preparation facility in Kitwe, Zambia. All analytical

procedures were conducted in an Intertek Genalysis laboratory in Perth, Australia. Reported widths are drilled core lengths as true widths are unknown at this

time. Based upon current data it is estimated true widths range between 85 and 90% of the drilled intersections. A nominal cut- off grade of 0.10% Cu has been

used to determine the boundaries of these intersections with no more than 15.80 metres of internal dilution of the intercepts. *A nominal cut-off grade of 0.25%

Cu has been used to determine the boundaries of these intersections with no more than 7.81 metres of internal dilution of the intercept.
