Global Energy Metals Corp (TSX-V:GEMC) announced it has joined the Battery Metals Association of Canada (BMAC), a national group dedicated to advancing battery metals development in Canada.
BMAC is comprised of entrepreneurs, explorers, developers, and producers specializing in battery metals and materials who all share a common objective of navigating the rapidly evolving energy landscape by developing battery metal resources and integrating these materials into the battery production stream.
Mitchell Smith, CEO of Global Energy Metals, highlighted the importance of this collaboration, especially given the evolving landscape of the Canadian critical minerals sector.
“We are joining BMAC at a key inflection point in the Canadian critical minerals industry and we are optimistic that emphasis of exploring, developing, producing, refining and manufacturing in Canada presents as a great opportunity for business here at home,” Smith said in a statement.
“This is an important step for us and our years of experience in the critical minerals sector has shown that a unified voice across the industry is key to driving and evolving policy.”
Smith is also a member of the board of BMAC.
Sean De Vries, managing director of BMAC, acknowledged GEMC’s valuable contribution and support, not only through membership but also through active involvement on the BMAC Board of Directors. “GEMC has proven to be a strong supporter of the Association, providing invaluable insight into our work and the vision for Canada’s battery value chain.”
Vancouver-based GEMC holds copper, nickel and cobalt projects in Canada, Australia, Norway and the United States.
