HIGHLIGHTS:

· Drilling has commenced for the first of four planned holes constituting the Phase 1 Drilling Programme at the Molopo Farms Complex Project in Botswana.

· The Phase 1 Drilling programme is for an initial planned 2,505m across four diamond core drill holes. Planned target hole depths vary from 525m to 710m.

· Hole 1 has been designed to intersect the first of an initial four high priority targets prospective for massive nickel sulphide mineralisation, delineated by both Time Domain Electromagnetic ("EM") and Natural Field Audio Magneto Telluric ("NF-AMT") geophysics surveys.

· The drilling, logging and sampling is being overseen at site by an experienced independent geological consultancy in line with international best practice.

· Drilling and hole casing is commencing with a rotary tri-cone drill bit through the Kalahari sand cover before switching to a diamond core drill bit at HQ and NQ core diameters for drilling through the host lithologies.

· Core will undergo geological and geotechnical logging and photography ahead of appropriate core sampling and analysis by an accredited laboratory.

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

"We are very pleased to report the commencement of drilling at the Molopo Farms Complex where high-resolution geophysics has identified a series of exciting high conductivity bodies which could be related to massive sulphide mineralisation. 

The drilling is the culmination of a great deal of high quality technical work and studies undertaken by KKME including a helicopter magnetics and electromagnetics survey and targeted Time Domain Electromagnetic and Natural Field Audio Magneto Telluric ("NF-AMT") ground geophysics surveys.

The technical work is being overseen by a respected independent geological consultancy who have good experience of working on this style of target mineralisation and within Botswana. 

We look forward to providing further updates as the drill programme progresses."
