VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2025 / Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSXV:AEMC)(OTCQB:AKEMF) ("Alaska Energy Metals," "AEMC," or the "Company") is pleased to announce that very positive actions have been taken by the President of the United States concerning Alaska's resource development. The Executive Order is entitled: "Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential."

AEMC President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: "A new era has dawned in Alaska. The new administration is aware of the country's vulnerability to metal supply chain disruption and is taking concrete steps to help Alaska achieve its potential to help with economic and national security for the country. AEMC's Nikolai project is already among the largest nickel resources globally and contains four other critical and strategic metals. We believe our project is likely to get strong support and will play a key role in achieving the new administration's long-term goals concerning critical metal onshoring."
