BeMetals Corp. announced commencement of its 2023 exploration program at the Pangeni Copper Project ("Pangeni" or the "Project") in the Zambian Copperbelt. Results from core and aircore drilling during the previous program have been integrated into geological interpretations to generate new and refined existing targets for testing this year.

This year's planned USD 2 million exploration program will be pro rata funded by both BeMetals and the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security ("JOGMEC"). Highlights of RECENT Pangeni COPPER PROJECT CORE DRILLING RES results: G-Target: Drill hole G2-C1 intersected 0.5 metres grading 0.71% copper ("Cu") and 0.5 metres grading 1.19% Cu; D-Prospect: Drill hole D5-C2 intersected 0.62% Cu; P-Target: Drill hole P1-C1 intersected 0.,78 metres grading 0.48% Cu; 2023 exploration program plans to commence with 5,000 metres of shallow aircore drilling and 2,000 Metres of follow-up core drilling; The recently updated exploration interpretation of the Project has identified new, and refined existing, compelling targets for copper discovery that possess similar geological settings of world class deposits and mines in the Zambian Copperbelt; and will also test the northeastern extension of a major structural feature trending across the central area of the Project at the new L-target. The drilling results at Pangeni to date, under the thin but extensive sand cover, and its overall geological setting within the prolific Zambian Copperbelt continue to demonstrate the potential for this project to deliver a large-scale copper discovery.
