Metal Energy Now Drilling on its High-Grade Nickel Manibridge Project

• Metal Energy releases never published results of high-grade nickel historic drill intersections
• New detailed webinar on Metal Energy's Plan for Manibridge
• Drilling has started

The Company has prepared an in-depth video presentation for Manibridge that details Metal Energy's growth potential on the Project.

"We're excited to launch the first drill program on our flagship Manibridge project. Historic drilling within one kilometre of the old mine workings intersected broad zones of high-grade nickel mineralization. However, we've identified numerous target areas with the potential to extend known high-grade nickel occurrences and increase the overall size of the mineralization shell. Some of the targets follow historic intersections of 15 to 30 metres grading between 0.80 to 2.00% Ni. The program is designed to test a broad array of target areas that will provide us with new geological information to help us plan for our larger summer program," said James Sykes, CEO of Metal Energy.

Selected Historic Drill Intersections on Manibridge: Table 1

Notes to Table 1:

• Cut-off grade = 0.3% Ni
• Maximum consecutive internal dilution = 3.0 m downhole
• Historic drill holes have not been verified or confirmed with twinned drill holes
• Metal Energy considers "high-grade" to be nickel mineralization with a concentration greater than 0.8% Ni.
• All reported depths and intervals are drill hole depths and intervals, unless otherwise noted, and do not represent true thicknesses, which have yet to be determined.

Manibridge's drill program is planned for 3,000 metres with 9 drill holes all within a kilometre strike of the past-producing mine. Table 1 provides a summary of selected historic high-grade nickel drill hole intercepts on Manibridge. Figure 1 is a location map of the Manibridge project and the old mine workings, and Figure 2 shows the Manibridge mineralization shell with the planned drill holes and pierce points.

Initial drill program results will be released upon completion of the program, and geochemical assays will be released later once received from the lab and reviewed for QAQC. CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. Is the operator for this inaugural exploration program.

About the Manibridge Project
Manibridge encompasses 4,368 hectares and is within the world-class Thompson Nickel Belt. The Project is 20 kilometers southwest of Wabowden, which has significant infrastructure and capacity that has supported previous exploration programs, including year-round highway access via Highway 6.

About Metal Energy Corp.
Metal Energy is a well-funded nickel and battery metal exploration company with two projects, Manibridge and Strange, in the politically stable jurisdictions of Manitoba and Ontario, Canada, respectively. Both projects are subject to earn-in agreements where the Company can acquire 100% exploration rights to approximately 16,200 hectares.
