Silver Peak Canada - Drill Programme Assay Results

Diamond Drill Programme Delivers 10 holes With Bonanza Silver Grades,
Including Highlight Intercept of 0.76m of 8,692.2g/t Ag (279.5 oz/t) from
DDH21-2

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the London listed exploration company
seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio,
announces results from its recently completed 2021 diamond drilling
exploration programme on the Silver Peak Project ("Silver Peak" or the
"Project") located in British Columbia, Canada.

 

Programme Highlights:

·    A total of 19 short cored drill holes were completed as part of the
Phase I programme and all drill core was logged, catalogued and split by
independent geological consultants prior to being sent to ALS Canada Ltd in
Vancouver, British Columbia, for accredited laboratory assay analysis.  The
holes were undertaken utilising either Shaw or Hilti portable drills producing
34mm diameter core samples.

 

·    10 out of the 19 holes drilled drilled returned bonanza grade silver
(>1,000g/t Ag) with significant copper, zinc, lead and antimony credits,
and 14 of the 19 holes returned elevated silver mineralisation.

 

·    Highlight intercepts include (complete collar and assay tables
available at the bottom of this release):

o  0.9m of 3,998.2g/t Ag (128.6 oz/t) from DDH21-1 (including 0.3m of
10,648.5g/t Ag)

o  0.76m of 8,692.2g/t Ag (279.5 oz/t) from DDH21-2 (including 0.35m of
12,373g/t Ag)

o  1.75m 2,669.3g/t Ag (85.8 oz/t) from DDH21-7 (including 0.25m of
17,015.5g/t Ag)

o  1.52m of 2,808.2g/t Ag (90.3 oz/t) from DDH21-8

o  2.44m of 1,060.0g/t Ag (34.1 oz/t) from DDH21-12 (including 1.53m of
1,644.8g/t Ag)

o  2.43m of 1,631.5g/t Ag (52.5 oz/t) from DDH21-13

o  2.59m of 1,437.6g/t Ag (46.2 oz/t) from DDH21-15

 

·    The results represent some of the best silver results (grade and
width) achieved from the Silver Peak Project to date.

 

·    The bifurcating (splitting) nature of the vein system originally
observed above the lower Victoria Portal was also observed in the 2021
drilling area, providing important structural information which will be
critical for the planning of future drill programmes.

 

·    Additional interpretation of results underway, including overlimit
analysis of select elements which is being contemplated. Overlimit analysis is
undertaken where the sample grade exceeded the detection limits for the assay
test procedures implemented, which occurred for copper, lead, zinc and
antimony in certain of the samples reported in this announcement.

 

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

"The Phase I drill programme, was designed to test for frequency and extent of
the high-grade silver mineralisation encountered in 2020, and has been a great
success.

Our original decision to invest in the Silver Peak Project has been fully
validated by each stage of exploration work and the bonanza silver grades,
including a highlight intercept of 0.76m of 8,692.2g/t Ag, confirmed today
represent the biggest step forward for the Project to date.

We now move to review the findings in further detail to determine next steps
from both exploration and corporate perspectives."

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.

Power Metal now has the following exploration completed with results awaited
or exploration underway:

-      Authier North Lithium Project (Canada) - soil & rock sampling
