Global Energy Metals Opens Significant Exploration Potential at Lovelock Mine via Data Reinterpretation Study

09.11.2020  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, November 9, 2020 - Global Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV:GEMC) | (OTC:GBLEF) | (FSE:5GE1) ("Global Energy Metals", the "Company" and/or "GEMC") is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Lovelock Mine project ("the Project"), which includes results from the reprocessing and reinterpretation of existing data including that from the positive airborne magnetic and orthophoto digital surveys that were conducted at the cobalt-nickel-copper prospective project in Nevada.

The Company recently engaged SJ Geophysics Ltd. ("SJ Geophysics") to review the airborne magnetic data and assemble a complete, extensive, comprehensive and detailed data compilation and interpretation program including a 3D inversion model showing a possible subsurface distribution of the magnetic susceptibility property of the rocks (the "SJ Study") for its recently acquired and highly prospective Lovelock Mine & Treausre Box Projects, located approximately 150km (100mi) east of Reno in the Stillwater Range, Churchill County, Nevada.

The SJ Study has led to a new interpretation of the regional structure of the Lovelock property, specifically in the vicinity of the historical mining of high-grade cobalt and nickel that occurred at the Lovelock Mine and those areas in close proximity that were previously identified as high priority targets.

Timothy Strong, Project Development Manager commented:

"Given the positive airborne geophysics combined with historic findings including a ground IP survey along with underground mapping and sampling data, we are increasing our understanding of the geological potential of the Lovelock Mine area."

"The re-interpretation of the 2019 airborne magnetic and orthophoto surveys suggest that the Lovelock Mine is located within a corridor of strong structural control with several subparallel structures indicating the potential for multiple mineralized zones related to these structures. Importantly, the SJ Study has identified high-priority drill targets which would complement the exploration fieldwork previously conducted."

Highlights of the Study:

  • - Re-interpretation has significant implications for further exploration at the Project including greatly enhancing the Company's ability to successfully target and drill newly defined anomalies;

    - The magnetic data implies the basalts and sedimentary rocks that host the known Lovelock deposits extend another 2.5 km to the northwest of the Lovelock Mine (see Figure 1);

    - Inversion modelling suggests a cluster of chargeability anomalies mapped to the west of the Lovelock Mine could be centred by a subtle, low susceptibility pipe or cone structure. This could be an indication of an intrusion or possible feeder zone to a hydrothermal system;

    - There are a total of eighteen magnetic high anomalies mapped across the survey that could be reflecting alteration with a possible response of reflecting an accumulation of magnetite, one of the accessory minerals reported with both the Nickel and Lovelock deposits (see Figure 2);

    - All of these magnetic anomalies model as small lenses, extending from surface to around 150 metres depth;

    - Many of these localized magnetic targets cluster together, forming a ring surrounding a localized magnetic low. Four of these ring-type structures are mapped within the survey area. These responses can be interpreted as mapping an alteration zone surrounding a low susceptibility intrusive plug (see Figure 2); and

    - Chargeability anomalies have been targeted with eight (8) proposed drill holes (see Figure 3).

Mitchell Smith, CEO & Director commented:

"We are very pleased to see such exciting results come from early first steps in our on-going program to leverage the latest geological thinking and geophysical technology towards systematically rethinking key aspects of this nickel-cobalt-copper district."

"While at a preliminary stage, the new reinterpretation is a rethink of the structural framework of the Lovelock Mine area and could be transformational for the Project as we continue to evaluate the regional exploration potential across our significant land holdings and the overlooked part of this mineral rich district in Nevada."

The Company believes that the SJ Study, extending from previously mined orebodies to key undeveloped prospects and exploration targets, greatly enhances the Company's ability to successfully target and explore for new, buried, high-grade cobalt-nickel-copper deposits across the large footprint in a highly prospective mining district. The model's construction is seen as a priority for future exploration including undertaking additional IP surveying, geological prospecting and mapping the chargeability targets prior to a diamond drilling program consisting of a suggested 8 holes, totaling 1138 metres.
