RNS Number : 6407G Power Metal Resources PLC 30 March 2022
30 March 2022
Power Metal Resources PLC
("Power Metal" or the "Company")
Results of General Meeting
The General Meeting of Power Metal Resources plc was held at Suite 24, Temple
Chambers, 3-7 Temple Avenue, London, EC4Y 0DT on 30 March 2022 at 11:00 a.m.
All 5 resolutions put to members were passed on poll. All 5 resolutions were
passed as special resolutions.
Rationale for General Meeting
The results of the poll (including proxy votes) are outlined in Table 1 below.
This General Meeting secured the necessary shareholder approval for
resolutions enabling the Company to consider shareholder distributions. At
present the Company has carried forward losses and under UK company law cannot
undertake distributions unless it undertakes a Capital Reduction process. The
proposed Capital Reduction is conditional upon both shareholder approval (now
received) and subsequent court approval being obtained.
The Capital Reduction will not change the number of the Company's ordinary
shares in issue or their nominal value of 0.1 pence each.

Shareholders are advised to review the Company's announcement on 4 March 2022
which included a link to the Notice of General Meeting and Chairman's Letter
to shareholders. That announcement also provides further information in
respect of steps and indicative timeline for the Capital Reduction process.

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

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.
