Mr. Mitchell Smith reports GLOBAL ENERGY METALS ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF LUNA ENERGY AND PORTFOLIO OF HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE URANIUM AND ENERGY METAL PROJECTS Global Energy Metals Corp. has entered into a letter of intent dated Sept. 9, 2025, with Luna Energy Ltd. to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Luna, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Global Energy Metals is acquiring Luna and its underlying assets to significantly expand its position in the uranium sector with immediate access and direct ownership of a portfolio of highly prospective uranium projects in an underexplored yet mining-friendly jurisdiction, all at a time when nuclear power generation and the need for new sources of uranium are experiencing a revival, driven by ambitious climate goals and technology demands. Mitchell Smith, president, chief executive officer and director, commented: "GEMC is pleased to collaborate with Luna Energy in a way that is mutually beneficial and enhances our exposure to potential discoveries of uranium deposits at a pivotal time when global uranium demand, driven by the proliferation and rapid deployment of nuclear energy as a clean power source, is projected to rise significantly over the next decade. In this highly competitive uranium market; opportunities to acquire projects of this quality are rare. "The mining industry is currently undergoing a significant transformation, driven by rising demand for critical minerals, the ongoing energy transition, and greater emphasis on environmental, social and governance factors. These interconnected trends are reshaping mining investment creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity. The acquisition of Luna Energy provides Global Energy Metals with immediate access to new and exciting growth-stage exploration projects within known uranium mining camps in Paraguay. A deal of this nature is also consistent with our strategy to create a diversified, energy metals focused company built on a portfolio of quality assets, including exploration- and development-stage projects. The transaction, along with existing complementary project and equity holdings, is expected to create a competitive advantage for GEMC and differentiate us from our peers. "We look forward to completing on the transaction and will continue to update the market with next step plans for the second half of 2025." The project portfolio Starting in 2023, Luna focused its efforts on the uranium potential of the western portion of the Paran, a sedimentary basin in Paraguay. Luna is exploring uranium potential of the western portion of the Paran, focusing on areas identified by historical data from Anschutz Corp. and in proximity to two areas currently held by Uranium Energy Corp. Through significant staking of prime, prospective territory, Luna now controls one of the largest underexplored uranium land positions in South America. In addition to its uranium portfolio, Luna also holds title to a number of prospective lithium and other critical mineral assets in South America.
