Pursuant to the SPA, the Company has sold 29,758,334 shares in GMET, and warrants granted over 986,352 ordinary shares in GMET of £0.01 each, for a total cash consideration of £9,225,083.91 before costs. The proceeds will be used to redeem the £2 million loan note issued to ACAM LP on 10 June 2024, with accrued interest, and for general corporate purposes.
UCAM is now GMET's largest shareholder with an interest of 23.45% of GMET's issued share capital. Power Metal retains 24,699,825 ordinary shares representing 19.46% of GMET's issued share capital, with a value of approximately £8.15 million based on GMET's closing share price on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange as at 19 February 2025.

Sean Wade, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources, commented:
"I am pleased to confirm completion of the previously announced partial sale of our GMET interest, realising over £9.2 million of cash proceeds and a return of nearly 10 times on this part of our original investment. GMET remains a core holding for Power Metal and we look forward to further returns from our investment.
Following this transaction, our share price is now largely underpinned by the remaining value of our GMET stake and cash on hand, with significant upside for investors through exposure to our wider portfolio including projects in North America, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia and Africa."
