Global Energy Metals to Acquire Monument Peak Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Idaho

02.03.2021  |  The Newswire
Takes Strategic Interest in Battery Metal Exploration Portfolio in Quebec

Vancouver, March 2, 2021 - Global Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV:GEMC) | (OTC:GBLEF) | (FSE:5GE1) ("Global Energy Metals", the "Company" and/or "GEMC") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with DG Resource Management ("DGRM" and/or the "Vendor") for the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of a fifty percent (50%) interest in a portfolio of battery metal projects, which include:

  • --Monument Peak, Idaho (Copper, Silver, Gold)

  • --Chance Lake, Quebec (Nickel, Copper, Cobalt)

  • --Amiral, Quebec (Nickel, Copper, PGE's)

The Acquisition is part of an ongoing effort by the Company to assemble battery metals-rich projects in top-tier mining jurisdictions with exploration & development upside.

Mitchell Smith, President & CEO, Director comments:

"The ongoing consolidation of strategically located battery metals projects, has allowed Global Energy Metals to establish itself as a dominant holder of highly prospective critical metals projects with strong exploration and development upside. The addition of Idaho, U.S. based Monument Peak, and the Quebec based Chance Lake and Amiral properties complement our current portfolio and provides the Company with added exposure to North American copper, cobalt, silver and nickel at a time when quality resource projects are needed to supply an apparent decades long growth cycle in demand of vehicle electrification and stationary energy storage."

Monument Peak Copper-Silver-Gold Project, Idaho, USA

The Monument Peak Project consists of 69 claims covering approximately 1,380 acres (~558.5 hectares). It is an exploration-staged, high-grade, copper-silver-gold project, which covers two small past producing copper mines: Jackson and Hungry Hill. Sporadic development and production in the area occurred primarily during the early 1900's, with some additional development in the 1950's. The most recent exploration occurred during the 1970's and 1980's.

Mitchel (1972) described the Cu-Ag-Au mineralization at Monument as having "unusual continuity" in association with structural zones within sericitic quartzites, which can be traced along 3,200 m strike that vary from 3 to 6 m width.

The mineralization is described (Lavery, 1988) as "syngenetic and fits a volcanic-hosted (massive) sulfide model … where … the copper-mineralized section might be as much as 175 feet thick".

Project highlights follow (from North to South):

  • --North Showing: grab samples to 0.57% Cu, 248 g/t Ag, 57.5 g/t Au;

  • --Jackson Adit: grab samples to 13.6% Cu, 2,589 g/t Ag, 17.1 g/t Au;

    • - Chip Sample: 3.0 m of 7.03% Cu, 109 g/t Ag

      - Chip Sample: 1.8 m of 3.11% Cu, 101 g/t Ag

      - Chip Sample: 6.1 m of 4.32% Cu, 99 g/t Ag

  • --Anderson Occurrence: grab samples to 3.9% Cu, 89 g/t Ag, 2.5 g/t Au.

  • --Hungry Hill Mine (2 km east of main trend): 2.4 m of 17% Cu.

The company intends to complete a brief field program during the spring of 2021 and thence prepare a NI 43-101 Technical Report documenting all historical and recent exploration on the property.

Chance Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Property, Quebec, Canada

The Chance Lake Property is situated within the Labrador Trough, approximately 100 km north of Schefferville in the Nunavik Territory of Quebec. The Property consists of 16 contiguous claims covering approximately 777.7 hectares.

Mineralization at the Property was first discovered in 1942-1943 at Chance Lake and at Glance Lake. The primary occurrence is at Chance Lake, where mineralization consists of ultramafic lenses of massive sulphide (pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite, and sphalerite) surrounded by halos of disseminated sulphide (pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite). In 1959, Hollinger North Shore Exploration Company Limited completed a series of drill holes targeting the Chance Lake occurrence. The program was successful in intersecting both disseminated and massive sulphide mineralization with vertical drill hole L9 returning 27.2 ft (8.29 m) of 0.87% Ni and 0.90% Cu from 119.6 ft to 146.8 ft depth (~35.5 m to 44.7 m). Analysis for platinum and palladium was not completed on the core samples.

In 1959, a "tonnage estimate" was completed on the Chance Lake occurrence by the Hollinger North Shore Exploration Company Limited (Nicholson 1959, GM09855). The historical estimate outlined 716,031 tons at 0.66% Cu, 0.89% Ni, 0.10% Co for the massive sulfide zone, or 967,393 tons at 0.49% Cu and 0.73% Ni for the combined massive sulphide and disseminated sulfide zones.

The Company cautions that the historical estimates (i.e. tonnage and grade estimates) documented for the Chance Lake occurrence have not been independently verified by a Qualified Person and were not completed in accordance with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and therefore, should not be relied upon. The historical estimates are not mineral resources, and therefore, should not be treated as such.

Amiral Nickel-Copper-PGE Property, Quebec, Canada

The Amiral Property is an early-stage magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE project located within the Grenville Geological Province, approximately 120 Km northwest of Sept-Îles, Quebec. The Property consists of 40 contiguous mineral claims covering an area of approximately 2,162.5 hectares and is easily accessible via a network of old logging roads transecting the area, and a rail line passing within 3 km of the Property.

In 1999, a peridotite rock unit was discovered on the Property, hosting 1% to 30% sulphides including pentlandite and chalcopyrite (the "Amiral Showing"). In 2002, an IP geophysical survey was completed and detected numerous conductive horizons on the Property, including some coincident with the Amiral Showing.

To date, two zones of mineralization have been identified on the Property - Amiral and Trench 4 - and are separated by approximately two (2) kilometres. Historical sampling of the Amiral Showing returned 1.07% Ni and 0.35% Cu over 6.5 m, including 1.54% Ni and 0.29% Cu over 2.1 m (GM59166). At the Trench 4 Showing, historical sampling returned 0.63% Ni and 0.89% Cu (GM62800).
