Within the conditional acquisition agreement signed with Kavango, and in parallel, Power Metal subscribed £38,000 to a convertible loan note ("Kavango CLN") as outlined in the announcement.

CONVERSION NOTICE

Power Metal has today served a notice to convert its entire £38,000 Kavango CLN into 4,750,000 new ordinary Kavango Shares at a conversion price of 0.80p and equating to 2.46% of Kavango's issued share capital following this conversion.

Power Metal will under the terms of the Kavango CLN agreement be issued with warrants to subscribe for a further 4,750,000 new ordinary Kavango Shares at an exercise price of 1.0p and with a three year life to expiry to 21 April 2023, (the "Kavango Warrants").

DITAU CAMP DUE DILIGENCE

Power Metal and its technical team continues to work with Kavango in relation to the conditional acquisition of a 51% ownership interest in the Ditau Camp project in Botswana and further updates will follow as appropriate.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER STATEMENT

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources commented: "The share price of Kavango has moved up a little since the April 2020 transaction which is positive, however we remain of the view that the market has yet to fully appreciate the size and potential of their projects in Botswana, which is a superb jurisdiction for resource exploration juniors.

We will continue to watch the wider Kavango story unfold whilst working on Ditau Camp project due diligence."
