HIGHLIGHTS

§ Power Metal has raised £800,000 before expenses for the advancement of
select priority exploration projects and for general working capital purposes
with the Financing undertaken at the closing market bid price of 1.4 pence on
2 September 2022 (see below for detailed Financing terms).

 

§ The funds raised will support the acceleration, and allow for the potential
expansion, of the ongoing geophysics and upcoming drill programme at the
Molopo Farms Complex Project ("Molopo" or the "Project") located in Botswana,
where drilling is scheduled to commence mid-September targeting a large-scale
nickel sulphide discovery.

 

§ The Financing also enables the potential expansion of other priority
exploration activities.

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

"Our work at the Molopo Farms Project in Botswana continues to support the
potential for a nickel sulphide discovery in what is a unique district scale
land package where we will be diamond drilling not only one electromagnetic
("EM") conductor, but multiple conductors located across a large Project
footprint.

At Molopo we have accelerated planned drilling with the final preparations
underway and drilling is expected to commence mid-September.

Considering the scale of the conductors identified, especially that at
priority target area T1-6, and the number of conductors being targeted it was
clear that we needed to be prepared for the possibility of an expanded
campaign at the Project and we have undertaken the Financing to position for
that expansion.

In addition, the Financing supports the continuation of our aggressive
exploration across other priority exploration interests, where we are starting
to see some highly encouraging findings."
