Molopo Farms Complex – Drilling Commences

Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW), the London-listed exploration company with a global project portfolio, announces the commencement of drilling at its Molopo Farms Complex Project ("Molopo Farms" or the "Project" or the "MFC"), where the Company is targeting a district-scale nickel ("Ni") and platinum group element ("PGE") discovery in southwestern Botswana.

DRILLING UPDATE

• Power Metal confirms the commencement of diamond drilling at Molopo Farms, targeting a steeply-dipping high-priority conductor at target area T1-14. The drill hole in progress has a target depth of 700-800m.
• The Company also recently completed ground Audio-frequency Magnetotelluric ("AMT"), as well as magnetics over target areas T1-14 and T1-9.
• The goal of the AMT work was to further refine targeting at two locations along the multi-kilometre scale steeply-dipping conductor, co-incident with the keel of the feeder zone intrusion and which extends across T1-14 and T1-9.
• The results of the AMT work have now been received and the data has allowed the Company to further refine its targeting at target area T1-14 in advance of drill commencement.
• The Company's CEO, Sean Wade, will be arriving on site shortly to liaise with the Company's in-country operations team.

Sean Wade, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources, commented:

"I am very pleased to see drilling commence at the Company's Molopo Farms Complex Project in Botswana. I look forward to visiting the drill site later this week and spending time with our operations team to discuss the Project.

"I also look forward to delivering further updates as the drill programme advances."
