Global Energy Metals Reports On 2017 Milestones And 2018 Strategic Goals To Accelerate High Potential Cobalt Assets

____________________________________________________________

Dear Shareholder,

The past year has been transformative for Global Energy Metals as the company achieved numerous milestones providing investors pure-play exposure to what was the hottest metal of 2017 - cobalt. Strong fundamentals for the electric vehicle industry and energy storage sector should prove to further support continued demand for cobalt and further necessitate the need to create a safe and secure supply of cobalt as a key additive for battery technology. This trend aligns closely with GEMC's corporate mandate of becoming a future supplier of cobalt material through our advancement of existing projects and the expectation to add new high quality assets.

GEMC enters 2018 well positioned corporately with a tight share structure and a strong cash position with no debt. The Company will aim to build on the following successes achieved during 2017.

Milestones Achieved in 2017:

-GEMC listed its shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on March 1, 2017;

-Strengthened the team with the addition of Ian Spence as the company's Australian Acquisitions lead and New Tigers Consulting Limited as its Chinese representative in advancing the company's cobalt material supply strategy.

-Announced the signing of a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Beijing Easpring Material Technology Co. a leading battery manufacturing company to jointly invest in and develop cobalt projects;

-Entered into an option agreement with Hammer Metals Ltd. for the exclusive right to earn up to a 75% interest in the Millennium Cobalt Project, an advanced mineral exploration and development property located in the famed Mount Isa mining region of Australia;

-Fundamental Research initiated favourable coverage on GEMC with a price target of $0.30/share;

-Complemented its TSXV listing with a Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing;

-Completed a Resource Report on its Canadian based Werner Lake cobalt project supporting high grade cobalt mineralisation and need for further investment into the project;

-Commenced a Phase 1 work program at the Millennium Cobalt Project with the intent of increasing the envelope of mineralisation within the JORC resource area by testing depth and strike extensions;

-Entered into an option agreement with ASX listed Marquee Resources to advance the Company's Werner Lake Cobalt project, a past-producing primary cobalt mine;

-Welcomed London based Glenpani Capital as a valued strategic partner to further enhance its market presence in the UK;

-Continued to evaluate additional high-quality cobalt targets with capacity for scale and economic grades; and,

-Ended the year with a 50% increase in share price and strong treasury having completed another oversubscribed private placement.

We are in a very strong position for company growth and success in 2018 with a promising line up of drill results from Millennium along with additional corporate activity and growth catalysts. We will continue to operate with a sense of urgency and focus, and fully expect that the successful execution of our goals will positively impact shareholder value.

Key Catalysts and Strategic Goals for 2018:

-Strengthen cobalt project portfolio through the acquistion of additional high quality cobalt assets in safe, mining friendly jurisdictions;

-Aggressively pursue receptive US investing audience by listing on a recognized US exchange;

-Meet certain share price targets to incentivize the exercising of outstanding Warrants;

-Initiate partner-funded work program to advance the Werner Lake Cobalt project;

-Increase market awareness and shareholder base globally;

-Increase analyst and institutional coverage;

-Initiate district wide exploration, targeting and building on resources nearby the existing Millennium Cobalt Project;

-Leverage knowledge and team experience and augment it by signing key operational team members to support strategy; and,

We would like to thank our strong shareholder and stakeholder base for their continued support and our team looks forward to a productive year ahead.
