Power Metal Raises GBP1.05 million to Accelerate Operational and
Strategic Opportunities
Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW), the London listed
exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across
its global project portfolio, announces the Company has raised
GBP1.05 million through a placing of new ordinary shares of 0.1
pence each in the Company as detailed below (the "Placing").
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Power Metal raised GBP1.05 million at the closing market mid-price of 1.75p on 12/11/21.
- Funds raised to enable acceleration of business operations
including strategic exploration activities and corporate
opportunities.
- Power Metal working capital comprising solely cash and listed
investments increases to circa GBP3million.
Paul Johnson Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources
plc commented:
" The new shares issued in the Placing undertaken by the Company
represents dilution of just 4.5% of current issued share capital
and adds a material further cash resource into the Company at this
opportunistic time.
Power Metal has maintained a strong working capital position
throughout 2021, notwithstanding significant investment in
exploration and corporate development. The Company is now at a key
point where extensive exploration activities are underway and
corporate activities are intensifying.
The Placing will allow the Company to expand its exploration
budgets, accelerate corporate work and complete on a number of new
initiatives.
The Power Metal board have been unable to participate in this
Placing as we are actively involved in a number of initiatives that
due to the possession of potentially price sensitive information
would preclude us from buying the Company's shares at this
time."

NOTES TO EDITORS
