Power Metals AGM, London, 25th July 2025 PART FOUR
A: Ed Shaw commented about a lot of the previous news being sold into and in this sort of market people only like to buy shares in stocks which are going up. Said that a buy-back could help with that.
Q: Sean, do you have any other roles?
A: On board of Focus Explore.
Also has other roles within the group companies. Mentioned the UEE shell company which had shareholders but no IPO, so that was then used for another company (can’t remember the name – sorry), and Sean is on the board of that. Main focus is most definitely POW; other bits are essentially just “helping out”
Q: Do Red Rock owe us money?
A: Basically yes (£650K I think it was). RRR agree they need to pay us, but POW pushing them to set a feasible deadline/method to pay. (Was a lengthier answer, but I can’t remember the exact details unfortunately, but there’s “definitely a chance” we’ll get the money back).
Q: Conscious of time, so can you give us a quick “one line” status on the current projects?
A: Sean did this. Won’t go into the details as a lot of it is in previous RNSs but seemed especially excited about Tati and Power Arabia.
Molopo – Done a lot of work on this, spent around £1.5M but needs more, so need to find a JV partner. Currently re-examining cores etc in a cost-efficient way, no drilling planned at the moment
Tati – Opportunity at Cherished Hope (JV with TGR). Working on due diligence and surface land rights etc. Botswana is a good jurisdiction to work on. Could be producing gold quite quickly as it is an existing mine.
Power Arabia – 2 projects ongoing: Lithium project in Saudi Arabia – lots of explorations and field work happening, showing interesting potential and opportunity. Secondly, the exploration of Block 8 in Oman, which is also promising and could generate a lot of news. Also have a good relationship with them and it’s an easier jurisdiction to work with (than SA) so there’s potential to expand into more blocks around block 8 potentially. Very exciting.
Siver Peak, Haneti, Kisinka – were queried by the investor - all confirmed as gone/no further interest.
Q: Are you happy with the c18% stake you now have in GMET?
A: Difficult call to make, we could obviously sell all of it, some of it, none of it etc. Would be good to sell it to get cash, but clearly it could keep going up and up. Strictly speaking you could say we’ve fulfilled our remit of the incubator model - remember we’re more of an explorer than producer - but we need to take a strategic decision.
