Power Metal Resources #POW – Agreement with Jasper Consult

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW), the AIM listed metals exploration and development company, announces the initiation of a consulting agreement with Jasper Consult DMCC (“Jasper Consult”), a London and Dubai based strategic consultant with extensive expertise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Oman (the “region”).

As part of Power Metal’s established strategy to invest in highly prospective projects, and with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Vision strategy in place, the Power Metal board believes that the relationship with Jasper Consult creates an opportunity for the Company to potentially build a new exploration asset base in the region.

Through a phased approach, the key objectives of Jasper Consult will be to:

·    Identify relevant exploration and development opportunities

·    Support the Company in the negotiation of the award of exploration licences

·    Identify and secure appropriate co-development partners

·    Support the Company in the longer term as it builds its presence in the region

·    Identify and help secure strategic partners for Power Metal

Power Metal has existing in-house experience of working in the region and plans to build a technical team dedicated to developing this opportunity.

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

“I am very pleased to announce this new relationship with Jasper Consult, and very excited about the opportunity we have to establish a presence in both Saudi Arabia and Oman. The Arabian Shield geological trend is a rich mineral system which is vastly underexplored, presenting an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our successful business model. By utilising the regional expertise of Jasper Consult, we hope to secure exploration licences and further crystallise value for shareholders. I look forward to updating shareholders on this important new step for the Company.”

Power Metal Resources #POW – Interim Results

Power Metal Resources plc, the AIM listed metals exploration and development company, announces its unaudited interim results for the six month period ended 31 March 2023 (the “period”).

 

Sean Wade, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal commented: The key to unlocking value is to complete planned portfolio disposals, secure operational partnerships over certain exploration interests, drive our uranium interests forward, and ensure the Company has access to quality sources of finance in sufficient quantity to enable it to boldly pursue its ambitions.

 

“We are making progress across all these areas and whilst the completion of the Golden Metal Resources IPO and £2.7m financing, both in May 2023, are perhaps the notable events for investors recently, we hope to announce many more corporate and exploration events in the coming weeks and months.

 

“I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support as we progress through what we believe will be a vibrant and exciting period in the Company’s history.”

 

KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE HALF YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2023

–      Completion of exploration programmes across three projects, including drilling at Molopo Farms in Botswana and the Victoria Goldfields in Australia, as well as geophysics and trenching at the Tati project in Botswana.  All three have delivered positive exploration results, justifying a decision to proceed to next stage exploration with potential partners showing interest in all three projects.

 

–      Material progress achieved in corporate activities, including pre-IPO preparations for Golden Metal Resources PLC, First Development Resources PLC and Uranium Energy Exploration Ltd.

 

–      Broad spectrum advancement of the Company’s Athabasca Basin uranium portfolio, including additional ground acquisitions through staking, and the management of third-party interest in the uranium portfolio.

 

–      Completion of the conditional acquisition of a larger stake in the Molopo Farms Complex project; the conditional disposal of the Company’s interests in the E-12 property in the Athabasca Basin to Uranium Energy Exploration, and the completion of the disposal of the Company’s interest in the Kanye Resources joint venture (“JV”), to partner Kavango Resources PLC (LON:KAV) for shares, warrants, royalty and long term compensation potential.

 

–      Management changes including the appointment of Owain Morton as Non-Executive Director and Sean Wade as Chief Executive Officer. Together the appointments bring detailed geological,  mine engineering and corporate finance skills to the Board and provide Power Metal with an extensive financing network for the Company and its planned spin-out IPO activity.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS SINCE 31 MARCH 2023

–      Listing of Golden Metal Resources PLC on the London Stock Exchange in May 2023, with a value of Power Metal’s holding on listing of c £4.4m;

–      Appointment of Bill Brodie Good as a Non-Executive Director in May 2023; and

–      Financing which has raised £2.7m for the Company to support an acceleration of value generative exploration and corporate activity.

Power Metal Resources #POW – Pilot Mountain Project – Tungsten Off-take Letter of Intent

Golden Metal Resources plc (LON:GMET), a mineral exploration company focused on tungsten, gold, copper and silver within Nevada, USA, is  pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with United States-based Global Tungsten & Powders LLC (“GTP”) of Towanda, Pennsylvania, in respect of a tungsten concentrate off-take agreement (“Off-take”) for Golden Metal’s wholly-owned Pilot Mountain Project (“Pilot Mountain” or the “Project”) located within the prolific Walker Lake Mineral Belt in Nevada, USA.

The non-binding LOI provides outline terms for a future off-take agreement, subject to successful technical and legal due diligence, and also to Golden Metal securing necessary funding to develop Pilot Mountain.

Highlights:

–      LOI signed with leading United States supplier of tungsten powders and semi-finished parts outlining proposed terms to acquire a minimum of 50,000 metric MTU’s (metric ton unit) W03 contained in tungsten concentrates, which may be increased to 70,000 MTU’s by mutual agreement, subject to the successful development of the Project.

 

–      The specific product outlined in the Off-take is for 65% WO3 tungsten concentrate. Pricing will be in US dollars and based on a discount to the European APT (ammonium Paratungstate) quote provided by Fast Markets (Formerly Metal Bulletin).1

 

–      GTP and Golden Metal also intend to discuss and consider cooperation opportunities for the development of a Western World supply chain strategy which will align with recent policy announcements from the US Department of Defense and the US Defense Logistics Agency with regard to the building of strategic stockpiles of critical minerals, including tungsten products.

Oliver Friesen, CEO of Golden Metal, commented: 

“Let me be the first to welcome our new partner Global Tungsten & Powders, which is a significant player in the global tungsten industry. The signing of this agreement represents a significant milestone and an encouraging step forward for our Pilot Mountain Project.

“The LOI not only outlines the proposed terms of a supply agreement for future tungsten concentrate sales to GTP from Pilot Mountain, but also the cooperation between our two companies in regard to the development of Western World critical metals supply chains – with particular reference to tungsten.

“Today’s announcement also further bolsters the Project’s overall profile and its attractiveness as a target for non-dilutive grant funding for exploration and development, something the Company is actively pursuing at present.”

About GTP

Global Tungsten & Powders (GTP) develops, manufactures and markets refractory metal powders such as tungsten, tungsten carbide, and cobalt. GTP is a leading Western supplier with production facilities in the United States, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Luxembourg

https://www.globaltungsten.com

Property Ownership

Golden Metal holds a 100% interest in the Pilot Mountain Project through its wholly-owned Nevada-based operating companies BFM Resources Inc and Pilot Metals Inc.

Reference Notes:

1:            Tungsten concentrate pricing is generally structured at a discount to the tungsten APT price reflecting the value added via the upgrade to APT.

Purplebricks (PURP) says that the number of new instructions did not increase in the fourth quarter and that means revenues and EBITDA will be worse than expected in the year to April 2024.

Credit hire company Anexo (ANX) reported flat 2022 pre-tax profit of £23.9m even though housing disrepair work helping to improve revenues. There were additional costs for vehicle emissions litigation against VW, which has some way to go before it is settled. A decline in pre-tax profit to £18.1m is forecast for 2023 as new credit hire business is reduced. That should help to improve cash collection and reduce debt.

Marwyn Investment Management has decided not to invest in footwear retailer Unbound Group (UBG) because of concerns about current trading. Marwyn had planned to inject £10m into the business at a placing price of 10.5p. That was the same level as the withdrawn offer from WoolOvers Group. Unbound has admitted that trading has worsened in the first quarter of the current year. Cash flow has to be carefully managed and banking covenants may have to be waived. Additional funds will be required.

Mineral sands project developer Capital Metals (CMET) has signed a potential 100% offtake and investment agreement with LB Group, which is the largest manufacturer of titanium dioxide pigments and sponge.

Power Metal Resources #POW – Assay Results Return Gold from all Drillholes; Confirms Down-Dip and Along-Strike Extension of Mineralised Quartz Reefs

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW), the London listed exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio announces an exploration update from the Company’s Berringa Gold Mine Project (“Berringa” or the “Project”), which forms part of the Victorian Goldfields joint-venture (“JV”) located in Victoria, Australia.

On 15 March 2023 the Company issued an update regarding the completion of the 2022/2023 drilling campaign at Berringa. The link to this announcement can be found below:

https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/victoria-goldfields-australia-drilling-update/15877022

HIGHLIGHTS:

Programme Highlights

Explanation

Drilling Overview

The Diamond Drilling programme consisted of 988 metres in six drillholes, four of which encountered visible gold mineralisation.

Extensive Gold Confirmed

All drillholes returning gold mineralisation in laboratory assay test results.

Multiple gold (Au) mineralised intersections were encountered including drillhole BE23D002 which returned 5.2m at 2.38g/t Au including 0.2m at 34.76g/t Au, and BE23D006 which returned 3.5m at 5.43g/t Au including 0.7m at 23.9g/t Au.

The “Nugget Effect”

Variability in grade was experienced due to “nugget effect” typical of the area, and this led to changes in the sampling protocol. Additional drilling will be needed to determine a representative grade.

Key Objectives Met

Key objectives of this drill programme have been met with drilling successfully intersecting the down dip and along strike extensions of previously mined Berringa gold mineralised quartz reefs. As the gold is hosted in the quartz reef the identification of a larger volumes of quartz reef is a positive development.

Extensive Quartz Reef Confirmed in Final Hole

The final drillhole (BE23D006) intersected a more than 30-metre-wide quartz reef intersection approximately 100 metres east of the main Berringa line of workings. The hole was ended while still in mineralisation and so is open at depth.

Next Steps

The programme has enabled the partners to gain a better understanding of the structure of the historic Berringa gold mine and this work will be further advanced as the results continue to be analysed and related to historical data. The partners will then announce the next phase of exploration.

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

“It is very pleasing to be able to report another good set of drill results, which clearly show us meeting our key objectives. We have added substantial value to the project through this programme, in particular a significant improvement in the structural understanding of Berringa. Nugget gold, whilst extremely exciting, is hard to establish with limited drilling and an enhanced programme will be needed to establish a reliable grade. It has long been our intention to fund such further exploration through an IPO, and this set of results allows us to set about that intention with renewed vigour.”

Programme Overview

Drill programme assay results from the Company’s inaugural diamond drilling campaign at its historical Berringa mine Project located in Victoria, Australia, have confirmed extensions of gold mineralised lodes within the main reef systems.

The limited programme was specifically designed to test three potential sites for further evaluation and has exceeded expectations with visible gold identified in 4 of the 6 holes drilled.

All targets tested have proved the mineralised quartz lode systems are continuous and open down plunge and along strike.  All zones require further diamond drilling to build on the early success and work towards possible Resource definition.

Gaining access to the mine through an historical adit has also become a high priority to enable a bulk sampling of the Berringa syndicate lode for preliminary metallurgical test work. This will accelerate the process to recommence gold mining at the historical mine site. This work is ongoing subject to regulatory requirements and approvals from the State Government regulator.

Geological Interpretations

South Birthday Zone – Drillhole BE23D001

A single long drillhole, BE23D001, was completed targeting a possible extension of the west-dipping lode in the South Birthday Zone, and investigating possible similarities with the reef system currently mined at Ballarat 20km to the east. BE23D001 successfully intersected a fault structure of approximately 9 metres in width which extends the west dipping lode over 50 meters further down plunge from the last known stope.

Geological logging of the core identified predominantly massive quartz veining with sphalerite, galena, pyrite and minor arsenopyrite.  The quartz reef has a hanging wall contact marked by a laminated quartz vein and overall the lode closely resembles the Ballarat mine reef system.

The hole ended in sandstone and not the expected black shale, and computer modelling based upon detailed lithological core logging will assist in determining where and at what depth the historically gold rich intersections typically found within black shales may sit in the South Birthday Zone.

Berringa Syndicate Zone – Drillholes BE23002 & BE23003

Near the centre of the licence area, located approximately 1.5km north of BE23D001, drilling at the Berringa Syndicate Zone, which historically produced at 7-8 g/t, returned positive results including minor fine visible gold within a well-defined lode structure.

This unmined zone was identified in the late 1980s from sampling in underground drives and adits with BE23002 and BE23003 being the first drillholes to test this zone. Downhole quartz vein intersections included intervals of 9m and 14m with abundant quartz near the footwall and hanging wall contact.

Kangaroo Zone – BE23004, BE23005 & BE23006

Located due east of the Berringa Syndicate Zone, the Kangaroo Zone was tested by drillholes BE23D004,005 and 006. This underexplored lode system has no surface expression.

Identification of a potential mineralised reef was made from an old plan map of underground workings. Only a single crosscut pushed from the historical Kangaroo mine towards the east which successfully intersected a mineralized structure.  It is unclear if any stoping took place.

BE23004 and BE23005 drill tested the northern extension of the possible structure with BE23004 potentially intersecting a cross-course fault which appeared to have offset mineralisation.  BE23005 also pierced the cross course in a different position but has struck part of a lode structure on the north side of the fault. It is possible that the estimated location of the underground workings was not yet exact so that drilling may have passed over the top of the lode. Further geological work on the lithological core logging will help to refine the positioning and identify optimal locations on the east lode for future drilling.

Drillhole BE23006 exceeded expectations, intersecting a broad (over 30m apparent width) mineralised quartz reef structure that had not been known containing minor arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite.  Visible gold was also identified in the hanging wall contact. Initial interpretation suggests the mineralised zone may be closer to the west than previously considered, and the drilling may have intersected a saddle reef not previously mined.

This supports the inference of a second (parallel) line of mineralization to the east of the main Berringa line and has substantially increased the prospectivity of the Berringa property overall.

Next steps

Currently the technical team is completing detailed review of all new drillhole data including inputting all geological and structural data into 3D modelling software. Next steps will be determined in due course and the market will be updated once plans have been finalised.

JOINT VENTURE STRUCTURE

The JV is held between Power Metal (49.9%) and its partner, London-listed Red Rock Resources PLC (50.1%) (together the “JV Partners”).

NBGC has a wholly owned Australian operating subsidiary Red Rock Australasia Pty Ltd (“RRAL”) which holds a strong land position comprising seventeen granted exploration licences and one purchased licence for a total area of 1,867km2 within the prolific Victorian Goldfields of Victoria, Australia, principally surrounding the mining centre of Ballarat, Australia.

In addition, 2 licences covering 467km2 await grant. The JV has carefully assembled its portfolio of properties comprising a broad range from robust exploration targets to near term resource potential, all of which remain largely underexplored by modern explorers.

The JV Partners have the intention of listing the JV company NBGC and will make further announcements as appropriate.

Power Metal Resources #POW – Insider Warrant Update

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) the London listed exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across its global project portfolio announces a warrant update.

The Company would refer readers to its announcement of 24 October 2022 wherein warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares of 0.1p in Power Metal at an exercise price of 0.75p per share (“Insider Warrants”), held by Company directors, could not be exercised at the original expiry date of 20 July 2022 (“July 2020 Warrants”) and were extended to an expiry date of 21 April 2023 as a result.

The Insider Warrants were issued to directors following their participation in a Company financing in July 2020.

The Insider Warrants are held by Paul Johnson, former Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Ed Shaw, Non-executive Director (together the “Insiders”) as follows:

Warrant Holder

Number of Warrants

Exercise Price

Paul Johnson

20,000,000

0.75p

Ed Shaw

7,500,000

0.75p

 

Current Status of the Insider Warrants

The Insider Warrants remain valid as the Insiders remain unable to exercise at this time due to ongoing proactive exploration and corporate activities, reflecting Ed Shaw’s director position and Paul Johnson’s continuing support to the Company as outlined in the announcement of 10 March 2023.

This exploration and corporate activity includes, but is not limited to:

–     Exploration results expected to be released from the Molopo Farms Complex Project and Tati Project in Botswana and the Berringa Project in the Victoria Goldfields, Australia, and

–     Developments in respect of the Company’s Athabasca uranium interests in Saskatchewan, Canada.

–     Advanced spin-out IPOs and disposal activities across multiple project interests.

Under the July 2020 Warrant instrument Clause 2.3 provides that should any July 2020 Warrant holder be in the possession of price sensitive information and be thereby precluded from exercising warrant subscription rights, the exercise period shall be extended until 20 business days following the date on which the Warrant holder ceases to be an insider.

It is the Insiders’ intention to exercise the warrants as soon as they are free to do so however given the level of activity within the Company this may not be possible for some time. 

The Insider Warrants remain available to exercise under Clause 2.3 however the Company has extended the expiry date on the warrants to 21 October 2023 to reflect the limitations on exercise as described above.  Should the Insider Warrants be unexercised on 21 October 2023, the Insiders must either give an irrevocable commitment to exercise the Insider Warrants when next able to so do, or the Board may consider a further extension.

Related Party Note

The extension of the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson and Ed Shaw as outlined above, have been treated as related party transactions for the purposes of AIM Rule 13.

Sean Wade, Scott Richardson Brown and Owain Morton being the independent Directors for the purposes of the extension of the expiry date of the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson and Ed Shaw considers, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, SP Angel, that the extension of the warrant expiry date to 21 October 2023 to such related parties is fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.
