Tati Project Botswana - Ground Exploration Update

Phase I Programme of Geochemical Sampling, Mapping and Prospecting Complete; Results Pending

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the London listed exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio, announces that it has successfully completed the Phase I work programme on its two gold-nickel licences in the Tati Greenstone Belt (the "Tati Project" or the "Project") located near Francistown, Botswana.

Power Metal exercised an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Project on 28 July 2021, through its local wholly owned operating subsidiary Power Metal Resources Botswana (Pty). Details of the option exercise can be found in the link below.

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

"The completion of this Phase I programme so quickly after option exercise is a key step for Power Metal and we look forward to receipt of test results from the 1,156 soil and rock samples collected.

The due diligence work completed earlier this year by our exploration teams demonstrated multiple multi-kilometre arsenic, gold, and nickel anomalies, and we believe the results from our Phase I ground exploration programme will continue to demonstrate the size, scale and magnitude of the targets that exist within the licences.

We expect the results generated will allow us to plan for our Phase II Programme which will include geophysics, as well as Rotary Airblast ("RAB") drilling, which is planned for late summer 2021.

I want to extend a special thanks to our ground team, whom worked diligently and efficiently over the last two weeks in order to ensure that the programme was completed on schedule and on budget."

Highlights

·    A total of 1,107 soil samples and 49 rock samples were collected across the five grid areas. This exceeds the 1,000 soil samples that was originally planned for the Phase I programme.

·    Mapping completed throughout the programme identified several old workings, including historical trenches, mine shafts and adits across both prospecting licences. Samples were taken from these features when possible.

·    Several areas were designated for immediate follow up based on mapped structural and geological observations, a Phase II programme including ground-based geophysics is being considered in advance of a Rotary Air Blast drilling programme planned for late summer 2021.

·    Soil samples from grids 2-5 (727 samples) will be analysed by portable x-ray fluoresence spectrometer ("pXRF"). Sampes from grid 1 (380 samples), as well as all rock samples have been submitted for labaratory assay by Intertek Group in Perth, Australia.

Labaratory assay and pXRF results from this programme will be released to the market following receipt, compilation and interpretation by Power Metal.
