Global Energy Metals Appoints Accomplished Mining Executive Bassam Moubarak As Strategic Advisor

This appointment comes at a pivotal time as Global Energy Metals recently announced very positive results from five holes at the Millennium Cobalt Project in Mt. Isa. All holes intersected wide and high grade co-product cobalt and further assays are expected shortly on additional holes. The results so far show confirmation of the existing JORC (2012) resource area and confirm thick areas of mineralisation critical for an economic cobalt deposit.

Commenting on the appointment, Mitchell Smith, President & CEOsaid, "We are very pleased to have Mr. Moubarak join the Global Energy Metals team and assist with our rapidly evolving cobalt portfolio in Mt. Isa Australia. Bassam brings knowledge and experience in resource development and financing that will be invaluable to Global Energy Metals and I believe will prove to be paramount to our success in the Company's cobalt focused growth strategy."

"I am excited to join Global Energy Metals as a strategic advisor. Building on managements expertise in the cobalt space, I look forward to working with them to assist wherever I can to help unlock and create value for the shareholders," said Moubarak.
