Global Energy Metals to be Granted Uranium Royalty on Saskatchewan-Based Projects and Shares in Terra Balcanica
Vancouver, July 3, 2024 - Global Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV:GEMC) | (OTCQB:GBLEF) | (FSE:5GE1) ("Global Energy Metals", the "Company" and/or "GEMC"), a multi-jurisdictional, multi-commodity critical mineral exploration, development and project generating company focused on growth-oriented projects supporting the global transition to clean energy announces that, further to the Company's news release dated April 3, 2024, that Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. ("Terra") have entered into a definitive option agreement ("Agreement') with a wholly owned subsidiary of Fulcrum Metals Plc., ("Fulcrum", AIM:FMET) to acquire a 100% interest in Fulcrum's uranium portfolio of exploration licences (the "Licences") located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada and collectively encompassing 596.71 km2 of highly prospective ground for a uranium discovery. Details of the Agreement can be found in announcements made by both Terra and Fulcrum.
As consideration for terminating the prior agreement between Fulcrum and Global Energy and facilitating Terra as a new strategic partner, Global Energy will, subject to regulatory approval, be compensated with the equivalent of C$150,000 in shares in Terra and granted a 0.5% NSR over the Saskatchewan based project portfolio on closing.
Mitchell Smith, President and CEO commented on the transaction:
"We are pleased to see this arrangement between Terra Balcanica and Fulcrum executed and as a result the granting of a NSR royalty on this highly prospective Athabasca basin uranium portfolio to Global and additionally being issued shares in Terra strengthening Global's equity holdings in public exploration, development and royalty companies."
Portfolio Overview and Discovery Opportunity
The project portfolio totals 596.71km2 targeting major NE-SW trending structures along strike from historic uranium mines and projects that have attracted significant investment. Discoveries such as the Arrow discovery (4.3m tonnes at 0.83% U308 https://www.nexgenenergy.ca/exploration/overview/) and Triple R discovery (2.7m tonnes at 1.94% U308 https://fissionuranium.com/projects/triple-r-deposit/project-overview/) have proved the concept of exploring along structure outside of the Athabasca basin. This potential has been confirmed through initial exploration and evaluation by Fulcrum in 2023. A significant number of high-grade uranium showings occur within the Projects in addition to historical small-scale uranium mining. Future exploration through the undertaking of a modern systematic geologic evaluation to determine the resource potential will be a top-priority for Terra.
