The detailed consideration items to be issued to Power Metal and terms related thereto are outlined in the 8 July 2022 announcement above (the "Consideration").

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."
