16 January 2023

Power Metal Resources PLC

("Power Metal" or the "Company")

£900,000 Equity Financing

 

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the London listed exploration company
seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio
announces it has completed a placing and subscription to raise £900,000
before expenses (the "Financing").

HIGHLIGHTS

§ Power Metal has raised £900,000 before expenses for the advancement of
priority exploration projects and for general working capital purposes with
the Financing undertaken at the closing market bid price of 1.4 pence on 13
January 2023 (see below for detailed Financing terms).

 

§ The fundraising will be applied to a comprehensive exploration programme at
the Tati gold project and will allow Power Metal to accelerate preparations
for exploration at the Company's strategic uranium portfolio in the Athabasca
Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada.

 

§ At Tati the Company's exploration plans include soil geochemistry,
geophysics, mechanised trenching, reverse circulation (RC) and diamond
drilling.  This work will examine near surface gold mineralisation across a
far larger proportion of the 8km gold-in-soil anomaly which extends through
the centre of the Tati licence footprint and, through planned drilling, test
for gold mineralisation at depth.

 

§ Power Metal is seeking to undertake exploration programmes at a number of
its Athabasca uranium properties during the upcoming spring and summer,
following snowmelt. The work programmes will be designed to follow up on
high-grade uranium rock sample results achieved by the Company during the 2022
campaigns, as well as inaugural work programmes at other properties in the
portfolio which have not been worked by Power Metal to date.

 

§ Diamond drilling has recommenced at the Molopo Farms Complex project in
Botswana after the Christmas break and specifically at drillhole DDH2-3A into
target area T2-3A. In addition, at the Company's Victoria Goldfields joint
venture a diamond drill programme is underway targeting extensions of the
former high-grade working Berringa gold mine.

 

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc,
commented:

"Power Metal continues to drive its exploration portfolio, with drilling
underway currently and with additional programmes now to be launched in the
near term at the Tati gold project in Botswana and expedited exploration at
the Athabasca Uranium portfolio in Saskatchewan, Canada.

With multiple exploration work streams underway Power Metal expects to release
further updates to the market over the coming weeks and months as operational
activities advance.

In parallel Power Metal continues to work on the various corporate initiatives
targeting the generation of material value for the Company and its
shareholders.

The recent strong move higher in the price of gold from under US$1,650 at the
start of November 2022, to US$1,920 at the close on Friday is an important
event, with gold acting as a key indicator for the strength of our sector. I
believe the future is bright for the junior resource sector and the proactive
junior resource explorers within it.

Power Metal has, through relentless teamwork over recent years, built and
advanced our global exploration portfolio and we believe that work has
positioned the Company uniquely well for the near, medium and long term."
