Global Energy Metals Increases Access to Institutional and Retail Investors with U.S. OTCQB Venture Market Listing

The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "GEMC" as well as the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol "5GE1".

"Global Energy Metals' expansion into the U.S. securities markets is part of our long-term strategy that brings our Company substantially added access to institutional and retail investors," commented Mitchell Smith, President and CEO of GEMC. "We are confident that our listing on this transparent trading platform can significantly enhance liquidity for our shareholders and extend investor awareness of our Company throughout the U.S."

Global Energy Metals is advancing the Millennium Cobalt Project in the Mt. Isa district of Queensland, Australia. Three holes have already been completed which extended the cobalt bearing mineralization beneath the existing JORC resource. Further drilling will begin in early February 2018. Global Energy also owns the high-grade Werner Lake cobalt project in Ontario Canada and has entered into a joint venture with Marquee Resources of Australia to advance that historic project.

To be eligible, companies must be current in their financial reporting, pass a minimum bid price test, and undergo an annual company verification and management certification process.
