Power Metal Resources PLC
("Power Metal" or the "Company")
Tati Gold Project, Botswana - Gold Anomaly Exploration
Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW), the AIM listed metals
exploration and development company, announces the expedited
recommencement of field exploration at its 100% owned Tati Gold
Project ("Tati" or the "Project"), located on the Tati Greenstone
Belt ("TGB") near Francistown, Botswana.
HIGHLIGHTS
-- 2023 geochemical soil sampling assay results confirmed two
significant gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies and continuity
within the 8km gold trend at Tati.(1) The anomalies are highlighted
in Figure 2 below, with Figure 1 demonstrating the positioning
within the wider Tati Project licence area.
-- Six unique additional target areas have been identified for
detailed soil sampling which is expected to include a total of c.
450 individual soil samples for follow on accredited laboratory
gold assay testing.
-- One of the six targets includes a key focus area where recent
geochemical sampling highlighted a clear 400m long southward
trending extension (remaining open to the south and southwest) of
the soil anomaly associated with the Cherished Hope historical mine
workings which were the subject of Power Metal's successful diamond
drilling programme in Q3 2022.(1) (,2)
-- Further sampling at this target area will be focussed on
in-fill as well as step-out sampling to better understand the size
and orientation of this priority zone.
Sean Wade, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc,
commented:
"It is very pleasing to be able to report, despite ongoing
difficult conditions in capital markets, that Power Metal continues
to generate positive news flow across the portfolio. Tati has
always been a very high priority project for us and I am delighted
that we have been able to follow up the recent positive
announcement with further progress.
After the successful confirmation of two significant gold
anomalies, we wanted to expedite this ground follow up, and that is
what we have done. Whilst it is always important to manage
expectations, we are very optimistic that this follow up programme
will further our geological understanding of the Project and lead
us towards what we hope will be a significant economic
discovery."
BACKGROUND
On 15 September 2023, the Company announced the results of gold
exploration at Tati, namely, confirmation of two significant gold
anomalies, further details of which are available through the link
below:
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/tati-gold-two-significant-anomalies-identified/16125488
The gold anomalies both sit within an established 8km gold trend
where previous Power Metal drill programmes have returned bonanza
near surface gold up to 47.1g/t over 1m.
Given the scale of the gold trend at Tati and the significance
of the confirmed anomalies, the Company's operational team has now
returned to site to commence follow up exploration.
This work and follow on programmes are designed to rapidly
assemble an evidential dataset to demonstrate the extent and
intensity of gold mineralisation throughout a greater portion of
the 8km gold trend. Extensive gold mineralisation has already been
validated to date in multiple areas at the Project by the presence
of historical mine workings, robust grade fines dumps from
historical mining, extensive soil sampling, trenching and reverse
circulation drilling.
