Global Energy Metals Identifies Numerous New Strong Magnetic Trends Utilizing Cutting-Edge UAV-MAG Airborne Geophysics Surveying on its Battery Minerals Project
December 2, 2019 - Global Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV:GEMC) | (OTC:GBLEF) | (FSE:5GE1) ("Global Energy Metals", the "Company" and/or "GEMC") is pleased to announce an update regarding its unmanned airborne magnetometer survey on the Company's Nevada based battery minerals project located in the Stillwater Mountain Range, approximately 150km east of the Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada. Interpretation of the data is ongoing but preliminary data suggests the following:
- The focus of the initial work program at Lovelock was to further evaluate the subsurface geology and identify areas for future drilling, and serve as an important resource for the creation of a 3D geological model of the nickel-copper-cobalt rich property.
- Good correlation between surface mineralization and historic IP conductors.
- The survey has identified numerous new strong magnetics trends that appear to correlate very well with historic zones of mineralisation.
- The area over the mine was covered by 50-metre line spacing to acquire detailed data for interpretation and modelling.
- Survey covers 248 line kilometers, 12.4 square kilometre area of the historically high-grade Cobalt-Nickel-Copper project.
- Further intepretation of the data is underway with results pending.
- The survey was flown by MWH Geo-Surveys International Inc. ("MWH"), a leader in the UAV space.
Commenting on the survey and its application to the overall global electrification, CEO Mitchell Smith stated the following:
"The EV market is still in its infancy worldwide, but as it continues to mature it presents a tremendous opportunity for exploration and development companies. The United States, like many other nations waking up to the need for resource sovereignty, is seeking to bolster its economic and national security by providing a scalable supply chain of critical minerals, like cobalt, to avoid dependence on competing countries for raw materials."
"This survey aids in our understanding of a drill ready project in Nevada, home to the world's largest battery manufacturing facility, and spotlights these projects as a potential future source of cobalt, nickel and copper that are required to produce the vast amount of raw material the EV battery and new energy economy demands."
This first ever high-quality, detailed magnetic survey completed on the property highlights multiple zones of interest. With additional interpretation and ground truthing the survey will assist Global Energy Metals in planning and executing a targeted ground exploration program culminating in drill testing.
UAV Magnetic Survey
MWH's UAV mag system uses a GEM GSMP-35U sensor flown under a D-RTK DJI Matrice 600 Pro hexacopter. Due to the high data capture rate, slower flight speeds and lower altitude, the magnetic data is of high accuracy and resolution. Data will be processed and presented as TMI map (PDF) & ASCII grid formats.
