(TSXV:BMET)(OTCQB:BMTLF)(Frankfurt:1OIF) (the \"Company\" or \"BeMetals\") is pleased to announce its first assay results for its ongoing diamond drilling program at the Kato Gold Project (\"Kato\" or the \"Property\") in Hokkaido, Japan. BeMetals plans to complete at least 1,250 metres of additional drilling during this initial campaign and will release their assay results in the coming months.HIGHLIGHTS OF CORE DRILL HOLE KT22-11:KT22-11: 11.50 metres (\"m\") grading 6.42 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\")Including: 8.70 m grading 7.80 g/t AuIncluding: 4.52 m grading 11.88 g/t AuThis new hole extends the targeted high-grade vein zone by some 60 metres along strikeAdditional drill hole assay results are expected to be released in the coming monthsNote: Intertek Testing Services completed the analytical work with the core samples processed at their accredited laboratory in Manila, Philippines (See details in QA/QA section below). 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 55 to 65% of the drilled intersections.John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals stated, \"We are pleased with these initial drill hole assay results from our Kato Gold Project on Hokkaido in Japan. The results from hole KT22-11 represents an approximate 60 metre extension to the strike length of the historically drilled high-grade vein zone which was last drilled in the early 1990s by MMAJ, the Japanese state agency. At this point, we believe there is good evidence that this intersection pierced the interpreted upper area of this vein zone and our second hole which is currently being drilled, is aiming to test a further strike extension of this high-grade vein zone and test other vein targets.\"During a recent inspection of available drill core at the Kato Project, including hole KT22-11, Dr. Richard Sillitoe, a world-renowned economic geologist, also an expert on this style of epithermal gold deposits, concluded, \"Near-paleosurface and textural features would suggest that much of the historical drilling intersected the relatively shallow parts of the gold system and, based on similar epithermal depos...
