[{"type":"text","content":"Global Energy Metals to Begin Metallurgical Test Work at the Millenium Cobalt Project in Australia(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TheNewswire / August 20, 2018 / Global Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (\"Global Energy Metals\", the \"Company\" and/or \"GEMC\") is pleased to announce that it has engaged ALS Metallurgy PTY Ltd. (\"ALS\") of Balcatta, WA, Australia to perform mineralogical, comminution and metallurgical test work to evaluate the potential recovery of cobalt and copper derived from 1/4 portions of NQ mineralized drill core samples collected from recent drilling at the Millennium Cobalt project located in Mt. Isa, Queensland Australia.\n\n\n \nTesting by ALS will be used to support and provide further detail on previously conducted preliminary hydrometallurgical studies that demonstrated the potential for the recovery of saleable cobalt and copper concentrates.\n\n\n \n\"Commencing the metallurgical program following the very successful first phase confirmation drill program gives us a solid head start on understanding the deposit's metallurgical properties and economic potential for a future feasibility study,\" said Mitchell Smith, President and CEO of Global Energy Metals Corp. \"We are excited to be partnering with an experienced and well-seasoned team of professionals, in ALS Metallurgy, who have a unique expertise in cobalt deposits.\"\n\n\n \nThe objectives and key deliverables of this test work on two 50kg composite samples derived from portions of mineralised sections from the recently drilled MIDD001 to MIDD010 holes will include the following:\n\n\n \nHead assay and mineralogy with key elements being cobalt and copper,\n\n\n \nOptical microscopy of the two feed samples including ICP analysis and head assay,\n\n\n \nPreliminary comminution parameters (Bond Rod, Ball and Abrasion work index), and\n\n\n \nCobalt and copper rougher flotation grade and recovery.\n\n \n \nThis initial test work, which is anticipated to take between 6-10 weeks to complete, is expected to lead to additional work towards determining a potential final cobalt product at Millennium. This work is essential as the Company progresses it's knowledge of the project for further technical studies.\n\n \n \nThe metallurgical work is part of a second phase work program at the Millennium Cobalt Project foll...
