BeMetals Corp. announced its first assay results for its ongoing diamond drilling program at the Kato Gold Project 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 KT2211 CORE DRILL HOLE: KT2211: 11.50 metres ("m") grading 6.42 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") Including: 8.70 m grading 7.80 g/t Au. ncluding: 4.52 m grading 11.88 g/t Au. This new hole extends the targeted highgrade vein zone by some 60 metres along strike.

Additional drill hole assay results are expected to be released in the coming months. This year BeMetals plans to complete an approximate 1,500 m drill program at the Kato Gold Project. Recently, the Company added another drill crew and helpers to the site in order to increase the team's drilling capacity.

These added personnel are expected to continue to improve drilling progress and provide constant geological exploration data and assay results. Hole KT2212 is currently underway and is targeting additional strike extension of the high grade vein zone drilled in hole KT2211, and to test other vein targets. Due to this improving understanding of the Kato geology, and gold mineralization there is also increased potential to also extend the highgrade veins a significant distance along strike.

The Kato Project is located within a sparsely populated area of Hokkaido yet it is still in close proximity to infrastructure such as sealed roads and power lines, and has access to supplies and services at the nearby town of Kamishihoro. The Kato Gold Project is BeMetals' most advanced, of five exploration projects in Japan based on the amount of available historical drilling information, and the Property covers close to 2,000 hectares in central Hokkaido. The Kato Project (historically referred to as the Seta River Prospect) is an example of a remarkably well preserved epithermal gold system.

Outcropping of clayaltered units are evidence of a hightemperature steam heated zone above a hydrothermal gold plumbing system. This mineralization style is an example of a low sulphidation epithermal system and the classic analogy for this mineralization type in Japan is the Hishikari Gold Mine, on Kyushu Island. Global examples of this type of mineralization include mines such as Lihir (Papua New Guinea), Kupol and Julietta (Russia), Waihi (New Zealand) and Masbate (Philippines).
