Global Energy Metals Releases Part Three In The Visual Capitalist Series On The Rise Of Tesla Highlighting The Reliance On Sourcing Supply Of Cobalt

The first auto revolution occurred in 1913 when Henry Ford rolled out the assembly line for the Model T. It sped up the speed of production of automobile production by a factor of eight - it was so fast that paint drying became the bottleneck. As we now enter the third auto revolution, another potential bottleneck is surfacing - cobalt.

Cobalt is an indispensable component in new energy-related technologies, and is critical to the chemistries used in lithium-ion batteries that are powering the increasingly prominent global fleet of EVs. In fact, cobalt represents roughly 40% of the total material cost for each lithium-ion battery and gives each cell the energy density required for high performance use in electric vehicles, stationary storage and portable devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops. Cobalt is currently in a worldwide supply deficit due to increasing demand and constrained supply, causing its price to more than double in the last 12-months and making cobalt, 2017's top performing base metal.

In effort to provide future supply of this much needed critical element and as part of GEMC's strategic focus on cobalt it is aggressively advancing the Millennium Cobalt project, an advanced exploration cobalt-copper property in Mt. Isa, Australia.

The Company's current campaign of drilling comprises a total of 10 diamond holes, of which the first three were reported on April 30, 2018. Drilling is ongoing, and the next assay results are expected to be received and reported in May 2018.

Results released are consistent with wide and significant cobalt and copper grades intersected in previous drilling, including those holes completed in December which expanded the mineralisation envelope, aiding in increasing confidence levels of the mineralised zones within the core of the northern zone as defined by the existing JORC (2012) resource area. The potential increase to the cobalt resource size and the strengthening cobalt price since acquiring the option for Millennium make this project a valuable and strategic development of global magnitude.
