(TSXV:BMET)(OTCQB:BMTLF)(Frankfurt:1OI.F) (the \"Company\" or \"BeMetals\") is pleased to announce commencement of its 2021 exploration program at the Pangeni Copper Project (Pangeni\" or the \"Project\" or the \"Property\"), located on the western extension of the Central African Copperbelt in Zambia (the \"Zambian Copperbelt\"). This year's primary objective is to expand and vector into higher-grade areas of the two priority copper prospects discovered during the 2019 and 2020 exploration programs, and to test other priority targets on the Property.John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals stated, \"Given the encouraging results from last year's drilling program, we are very excited to begin accelerated fieldwork with our new partner, Japan, Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (\"JOGMEC\") at the Pangeni Copper Project. We have two very compelling prospects for additional drilling and we look forward to testing a number of new priority targets. The style of copper mineralization we are seeing at both the D and SW prospects are similar to that of known copper mines in the region, and our drilling is planned to determine the scope and grade of the mineralization beneath the shallow sand cover.With global copper demand forecast to grow appreciably due to this metal's vital role in increasing renewable energy production and utilization, we view exploration at Pangeni to represent a great opportunity with its potential for the discovery of a significant copper deposit.Our recently acquired Kazan Gold Project in Japan, advanced stage, high-grade zinc-silver-gold-copper, South Mountain Project in Idaho, U.S.A., and Pangeni Copper Project provide an excellent and building portfolio of exploration and development projects with exciting growth potential for the Company.\"Highlights of the Planned 2021 Pangeni Aircore and core Drilling Campaign:To further follow-up on encouraging copper intersections made at the high priority D and SWprospects which included:At D Prospect(1): Core Hole D3-C1 intersected 3.98 metres (\"m\") grading 0.39% Copper (\"Cu\") and 3.7m grading 0.37% Cu in 2020, and Core Hole D2-C1 intersected 5.50m grading 0.53% Cu and Core Hole D2-C2 5.56m grading 0.47% Cu in 2019At SW Prospe...
