Paul Johnson Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented "We note the announcement by Katoro Gold regarding it's Imweru gold project transaction.  The transaction provides an opportunity for regional project consolidation and a considerably faster route to gold production.
However we also note with interest the improving operating environment in Tanzania, with the positive sentiment in country demonstrated by the level of interest shown by other third party gold mining companies in the Katoro gold projects.
At this stage in the junior resource cycle the return of confidence and increasing interest from third parties means the inherent value of Katoro's gold interests may become increasingly apparent."
