VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 07, 2024 -- Alaska Energy Metals Corp. (TSX-V: AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF) ("Alaska Energy Metals", the "Company", or "AEMC") today announced that it plans to raise $3,000,000 gross proceeds through a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of special warrants (the "Special Warrants") to purchase units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit. The Special Warrants will convert to Units upon obtaining a receipt from the TSX Venture Exchange for a Base Shelf Prospectus supplement document to be filed by the Company. Each Unit will consist of one common AEMC share (the "Shares") and one share purchase warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase another Alaska Energy Metals share at a price of $0.20 for a three-year term.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds for drilling to test geological, geophysical and geochemical targets at the Canwell block of claims that form part of its Nikolai Nickel Project in Alaska. Three holes totaling 1,200 meters are planned for drilling. Proceeds will also be used for metallurgical testing of Eureka deposit drill core, marketing, and general working capital. The Canwell prospects are located near the Company's Nikolai project Eureka deposit which represents a large accumulation of nickel with copper, cobalt, chrome, iron, platinum, palladium and gold.

Corporate Changes

The Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of shareholders, scheduled for June 10, 2024, will be adjourned following the receipt of the annual consolidated financial statements and appointment of the auditor in order to facilitate changes to the Board of Directors. A notice of the date and time of the adjourned AGM, together with an addendum to the Information Circular and proxy, will be distributed to shareholders. Upon approval by shareholders, the Board will be set at six directors. The management nominees for election at the adjourned AGM will be Mario Vetro, Tyron Breytenbach, and Ian Stalker, along with incumbent directors Gregory Beischer, Mark Begich and, Corri Feige. Stepping off the board will be Peter Chilibeck and Larry Cooper. The Company thanks these two directors for more than a decade of service each. Mr. Chilibeck and Mr. Cooper have been invited to remain as advisors to the Company.

Mario Vetro: Mr. Vetro is an Investor / Financier and Partner at Commodity Partners of Vancouver, BC. Mr. Vetro has extensive experience in structuring and advising resource companies. He has successfully raised hundreds of millions of dollars for resource development projects and has participated in transactions ranging from $100 million to $1.5 billion.

Tyron Breytenbach: Mr. Breytenbach presently serves on the Company's Advisory Board and has provided excellent advice. He is a strong technical geologist with experience in magmatic nickel deposits and extensive experience in international capital markets, having worked with Cormark and Stifel Canada.

Ian Stalker: Mr. Stalker is Executive Chairman of Bradda Head Lithium and has held numerous executive and board positions with resource-oriented companies. He has been involved in raising more than US$750 million from capital markets for a range of successful mining projects.

Paul Matysek: Joining the Company's advisory board, Mr. Matysek is a well-known mineral resources developer and deal maker. He is the Executive Chairman for a number of companies including Nano One Materials Corp (TSE: NANO) and LithiumBank Resources Corp. (TSX-V: LBNK).

Greg Beischer, the Company CEO, commented: "The current team and board did a great job of identifying and defining the maiden mineral resource estimate at the Nikolai Nickel Project. The resource established to date is on track to be one of the largest nickel deposits in the United States. As companies grow, it becomes important to have depth in capital markets and operations. Seasoned mining veterans having key attributes for this stage of corporate development are needed. Tyron Breytenbach and Ian Stalker have great track records. If elected, I am confident they will maximize the Company's chances of developing a world-class battery metals project at Nikolai in Alaska."
