Alaska Energy Metals announces results from 2023 exploration programme

Eight diamond drill holes were drilled during the campaign, with results from four holes now received and results from four holes pending.

Highlights:

• Assay results from drill hole EZ-23-003 returned the following downhole intersection: 324.6 m @ 0.34% Nickel Equivalent (“NiEq”) (0.23% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.119 g/t Pd, 0.053 g/t Pt and 0.013 g/t Au). EZ-23-003 was collared approximately 250 m southeast of EZ-23-001.
• Assay results from drill hole EZ-23-005 returned the following downhole intersection: 356.2 m @ 0.34% NiEq (0.22% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.122 g/t Pd, 0.057 g/t Pt and 0.014 g/t Au). EZ-23-005 was collared approximately 300 m northwest of EZ-23-001.
• The results from holes EZ-23-001, EZ-23-003, & EZ-23-005 confirm the consistency of mineralisation spanning 600 m of strike length along the Eureka Zone. The mineralisation remains open in all directions.

Alaska Energy Metals President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “The Eureka Zone of the Nikolai project in central Alaska is proving to be every bit as persistent, consistent, and homogeneous as indicated by the historical drilling on the property. With our grid-pattern drilling at 300 m centres, we are quickly blocking out a large tonnage of rock mineralised with nickel and other related metals. The current grid-drilled strike extent is approximately 600 m, with an estimated true width of around 300 m. Once we receive assay results from the remaining four holes of the 2023 programme our intention is to publish an Inferred Resource calculation.”
