2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for Eureka Deposit Significantly Increases Tonnage, Metal Content and Grade
Findings Align With U.S. Government Effort to Strengthen Critical Mineral Supply Chains
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 22, 2025 / Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSXV:AEMC)(OTCQB:AKEMF) ("AEMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed an Updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (the "Technical Report" or the "Report") on SEDAR+ for its
With the Nikolai deposit hosting seven Critical Minerals, two of which are Defense Production Act Title III materials "essential for the national defense," the announcement aligns with a series of U.S. presidential executive orders to strengthen U.S. critical mineral supply chains, including EO 14241 "Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production" and EO 14153 entitled "Unleashing Alaska's Tremendous Resource Potential."
Highlights of the Updated Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate include:
The new Eureka deposit Mineral Resource Estimate ("2025 MRE") has increased the tonnage, metal content, and grade, relative to the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate, dated February 12, 2024
In situ Indicated resource contains 1,190 million tonnes at a grade of
0.30% NiEq (0.42% NiEq including chromium and iron), a46% increase in tonnage.In situ Inferred resource contains 2,087 million tonnes at a grade of
0.28% NiEq (0.39% NiEq including chromium and iron), a133% increase in tonnage.
Chromium and iron have been included in the 2025 MRE. 7.88 billion pounds of chromium and 117 million tonnes of iron are added to the in situ Indicated resource (1,190 million tonnes grading
0.30% chromium and9.87% iron). 12.29 billion pounds of chromium and 205 million tonnes of iron are added to the in situ Inferred resource (2,087 million tonnes grading0.27% chromium and9.80% iron).The Eureka Zone 2 ("EZ2"), within the Central Eureka deposit, contains an in situ Indicated resource of 818 million tonnes at a grade of
0.32% NiEq (0.44% NiEq with chromium and iron) and an in situ Inferred resource of 951 million tonnes at a grade of0.31% NiEq (0.42% NiEq with chromium and iron).The Central Eureka Zone 2 ("CEZ2"), a subset of the Central Eureka EZ2 deposit, now has continuity along ~ 2.5 km of strike length. This higher-grade core contains an in situ Indicated resource of 225 million tonnes at a grade of
0.39% NiEq (0.52% NiEq including chromium and iron) and an in situ Inferred resource of 246 million tonnes at a grade of0.36% NiEq (0.48% NiEq including chromium and iron).
The Report titled "Nikolai Project Mineral Resource Estimate 2025 Update" is dated April 21st, 2025 and supports the disclosure made by the company in its March 10th, 2025 press release titled "Alaska Energy Metals Announces Major Increases in Mineral Resource Estimate, Nikolai Nickel Project, Alaska, USA."
The Independent MRE and Updated Technical Report were prepared by Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 regulations. The Report can be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on Alaska Energy Metals website (www.alaskaenergymetals.com).
Alaska Energy Metals President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: "The updated Mineral Resource Estimate shows a very substantial increase in tonnage and metal content. Nikolai represents the largest accumulation of nickel in the United States and contains six other critical and strategic metals. With the Trump Administration moving to strengthen U.S. Critical Mineral supply chains as a key policy priority, the deposit may prove to be very valuable to the United States as a secure, domestic source of these metals. The next steps for the Company are completion of metallurgical studies followed by economic analysis, and we expect to complete these studies in the coming months."
