April 3, 2024: Global Energy Metals Granted Uranium Royalty on Saskatchewan-Based Projects and Shares in Terra Balcanica; Terminates Agreement with Fulcrum Metals

 

Highlights:

• Exposure to uranium, a new commodity to Global Energy’s existing project, equity and royalty portfolio; 

• Strategic equity position in Terra Balcanica, a publicly listed multi-commodity company with a new focus on uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin (“Basin”); 

• Historical work at the Projects has demonstrated evidence of uranium mineralization along favourable structural trends with prospective target horizons based on electromagnetic conductors; 

• Proximal to northern and southeastern edges of the Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a premium mining district and leading global source of high-grade uranium; 

• Charlot-Neely is located within the emerging Uranium City district on the northwestern margin of the Basin; 

• Exploration expenditures by Terra totalling $3,250,000 prior to the fourth anniversary of the Option Agreement will aim to determine the resource potential for the Projects. 

 

The agreement's termination marks a strategic move for Global Energy Metals, as it facilitated a new partnership between Fulcrum and Terra Balcanica Resources.

Under the option agreement between Terra and Fulcrum, Terra intends to acquire a 100% interest in Fulcrum's uranium projects.

 

In exchange for terminating the prior agreement with Fulcrum, Global Energy Metals will receive compensation equivalent to C$150,000 in shares in Terra upon the option agreement's closing.

 

Additionally, Global Energy Metals will be granted a 0.5% NSR over the Saskatchewan-based project portfolio, covering 596.71 square kilometres of highly prospective ground for uranium discovery.

 

The project portfolio targets major NE-SW trending structures along strike from historic uranium mines and projects.

 

GEMC CEO Mitchell Smith commented:

“We are excited to have attracted such a strong operational partner in Terra Balcanica to apply their technical and jurisdictional expertise to advance these North American uranium projects at such a pivotal time in this new nuclear era,” Mitchell Smith, GEMC’s CEO said in a statement.

“Through this arrangement, we’re excited to maintain exposure to these high-quality uranium assets through both the equity position in Terra and the NSR royalty over the portfolio.

"This will bolster Global Energy’s existing project, royalty and equity portfolio to now include uranium and further demonstrates the company’s ability to monetize assets for the benefit of shareholders.”

 

Future exploration efforts, spearheaded by Terra, aim to assess the resource potential of the projects, building on initial exploration and evaluation conducted by Fulcrum in 2023.
