[{"type":"text","content":"Global Energy Metals Announces UAV-MAG Airborne Geophysics Surveying and Orthophoto Digital Surface Modelling on its Battery Minerals Project in Nevada(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC - TheNewswire - August 14, 2019 - Global Energy Metals Corporation (TSXV:GEMC) (OTC:GBLEF) (FSE:5GE1) (\"Global Energy Metals\", the \"Company\" and/or \"GEMC\") is pleased to announce the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (\"UAVs\") to conduct an UAV-Magnetometer Survey (\"UAV-MAG(TM) Survey\") and deliver Orthophoto/Digital Surface Modelling for the Company's Nevada based battery minerals project located approximately 150km east of the Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada. The survey will be flown by MWH Geo-Surveys International Inc. (\"MWH\"), a leader in the UAV space.\n\n \n \nMitchell Smith, CEO & Director commented:\n\n\n \n\"We look forward to conducting these airborne geophysical and topographical surveys with MWH, industry pioneers in drone technology. The robust preliminary results of the initial geological work completed this summer are positive indicators of the potential of the nickel, copper, cobalt project. Moreover, large portions of the mineralized area is still being evaluated by the Company leaving the door open to well defined drill targets for our Fall Program.\" \n\n \n \nThe magnetic surveys, expected to commence early next week, will cover high priority targets on the Lovelock project, a past producing mine that reported high grade nickel, copper and cobalt grades, to provide additional data and complement fieldwork conducted for the planning of a Fall 2019 drilling program. The survey of the Lovelock mine area will be used to highlight the known mine area and the related faults systems. The area over the mine will cover 50-metre line spacing to acquire detailed data being used to plan the proposed drilling.\n\n\n \nThe survey would entail:\n\n\n \n\n\n- Approximately 248 line kilometers of UAV Magnetics (12.4 square kilometres, flown at 45m AGL, with 50m line spacing)\n\n\n\n- An orthophoto/digital surface model flown by UAV for the approximately 12.4 square kilometre project area\n\n\n\n\n \nUAV Magnetic Survey\n\n\n \nOur UAV mag system uses a GEM GSMP-35U sensor flown under a D-RTK DJI Matrice 600 Pro hexacopter. Due to the high data capture rate, slower flight speeds and lower altitude, the magnetic data is of h...
