[{"type":"text","content":"BeMetals Defines Priority Copper Targets and Commences Core Drilling at Pangeni Copper ProjectVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 2022 / BeMetals Corp. (TSXV:BMET)(OTCQB:BMTLF)(Frankfurt:1OI.F) (the \"Company\" or \"BeMetals\") is pleased to announce the completion of its 2022 aircore campaign, the definition of copper targets and commencement of core drilling at the Pangeni Copper Project (Pangeni\" or the \"Project\" or the \"Property\"). The Project is located on the western extension of the prolific Central African Copperbelt in Zambia (the \"Zambian Copperbelt\").HIGHLIGHTSOF THE COMPLETED AIRCORE PROGRAM AND CORE DRILLING TARGETS:A total of 3,619 metres of shallow aircore drilling was completed in this phase of exploration to extend copper mineralization at existing copper prospects and to define new targets.A total of six targets for core drill testing have been identified at areas E, G, K, P, Q, and D.Core drilling has commenced to test the newly identified priority targets and is expected to be completed before year end, and their analytical results early in 2023.The 2022 core drilling will follow-up on the 2022 aircore results and the encouraging copper intersections made in 2021 at the Q and D prospects including:Q-Target: Drill Hole Q3-C1 intersected 4.14 metres grading 0.62% copper (\"Cu\")Including: 1.30 metres grading 1.10% CuD-Prospect: Drill Hole D7-C1 intersected 5.00 metres grading 0.58% CuD-Prospect: Drill Hole D7-C2 intersected 3.37 metres grading 0.51% CuAnd also: intersected 6.00 metres grading 0.39% CuNote: Intertek Genalysis completed this previously reported analytical work of the intervals above with the core samples processed at their preparation facility in Kitwe, Zambia. All analytical procedures were conducted in an Intertek Genalysis laboratory in Australia. Reported widths are drilled core lengths as true widths are unknown at this time. Based upon current data it is estimated true widths range between 80 to 90% of the drilled intersections.John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals stated, \"We have now completed another phase of aircore drilling and are excited to have commenced core drill testing of six newly defined targets as part of our 2022 exploration program, funded pro-rata by both BeMetals and JOGMEC. The new targets were generated by the recent aircore program in combination wit...
