This Consideration includes the issue to Power Metal of 60,000,000 Kavango new
ordinary shares.

Following the expected admission of the Kavango shares on 25 November 2022
("Admission"), and taken together with Power Metal's existing holding, the
Company will hold 69,500,000 shares equating to 9.85% of Kavango's issued
share capital (market value of £1.25million at the Kavango mid-price at
market close 17 November 2022).

 

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

"My congratulations to the Kavango team for the successful publication of
their Prospectus.  Kavango now has 100% control of an extensive ground
footprint in Botswana and will be financed to advance at some pace with
potentially high-impact exploration.  We wish them well and will be watching
developments closely.

Power Metal now moves to become a strategic investor in Kavango with an 9.85%
holding on Admission next week, carrying a value of some £1.25m at
yesterday's closing market mid-price.

The significant Kavango holding will sit alongside our 27.91% holding in First
Class Metals PLC valued at £2.78m at yesterday's closing market mid-price and
the two investments together a market value of £4.03m combined.

This in our view is just the start and our objective is to continue to build
the Power Metal balance sheet through corporate transactions underpinning the
financial value of the Company whilst our exploration activities continue at
some pace across our extensive global portfolio."

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.

Exploration Work Overview

Power Metal has multiple internal exploration programmes completed or
underway, with results awaited.  The status for each of the Company's
