Power Metal Resources plc ("Power Metal" or the "Company")

Ditau Camp Project Botswana - Drilling Update

 

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) the London listed exploration company
seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio
announces an update from the Ditau Camp project (the "Project") in Botswana.

The Project is held by Botswana based Kanye Resources Pty Limited ("Kanye"),
which is a 50/50 joint-venture partnership with Kavango Resources plc
(LSE:KAV) ("Kavango") - who are the operators.

 

Kavango confirm the completion of the first diamond drill hole at the Ditau
Camp Project, Botswana, hole DITDD003 (the "Borehole").

 

The hole was completed to a total depth of 300.14m, which the Company's
technical team believes has tested the geophysical target at this specific
location.

 

The Borehole intersected units including a breccia of 20.44m from 83.9m, and a
dolomitic carbonate rock from 154.89m. This latter may contain stromatolitic
features.

 

Kavango's technical team is now assessing the provenance of the breccia unit,
which it believes may represent either a weathered carbonatitic ash flow or a
weathered Dwyka tillite.

 

In addition, a 7.16m intrusive, considered to be a dolerite, was intersected
from 247.73m.

 

While the provenance of the breccia unit is uncertain Kavango has performed
some initial portable X-Ray Fluorescence ("pXRF") readings on the matrix and
larger clasts, with a view to comparing these with both carbonatitic ash flow
and also unweathered Dwyka tillite. The latter has been drilled in recent
Kavango diamond drillholes in the region and will be used for these pXRF
checks.

 

Subsequent to this the cores from DITDD003 will be cut and sent to an
accredited laboratory for whole rock analysis with petrological work also
carried out on selected samples.

 

Hole DITDD003 is one of six planned boreholes in the current programme. The
drill rig is currently being moved to the pad for the next hole in the
campaign, DITDD004.

NOTES TO EDITORS

Power Metal Resources plc - Background

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) is an AIM listed metals exploration
company which finances and manages global resource projects and is seeking
large scale metal discoveries.

 

The Company has a principal focus on opportunities offering district scale
potential across a global portfolio including precious, base and strategic
metal exploration in North America, Africa and Australia.

 

Project interests range from early-stage greenfield exploration to later-stage
prospects currently subject to drill programmes.

 

Power Metal will develop projects internally or through strategic joint
ventures until a project becomes ready for disposal through outright sale or
separate listing on a recognised stock exchange thereby crystallising the
value generated from our internal exploration and development work.

 

Value generated through disposals will be deployed internally to drive the
Company's growth or may be returned to shareholders through share buy backs,
dividends or in-specie distributions of assets.
