The holes were undertaken utilising either Shaw or Hilti portable drills producing 34mm diameter core samples.\n\n· 10 out of the 19 holes drilled drilled returned bonanza grade silver (>1,000g/t Ag) with significant copper, zinc, lead and antimony credits, and 14 of the 19 holes returned elevated silver mineralisation.\n\n· Highlight intercepts include (complete collar and assay tables available at the bottom of this release):\n\no 0.9m of 3,998.2g/t Ag (128.6 oz/t) from DDH21-1 (including 0.3m of 10,648.5g/t Ag)\n\no 0.76m of 8,692.2g/t Ag (279.5 oz/t) from DDH21-2 (including 0.35m of 12,373g/t Ag)\n\no 1.75m 2,669.3g/t Ag (85.8 oz/t) from DDH21-7 (including 0.25m of 17,015.5g/t Ag)\n\no 1.52m of 2,808.2g/t Ag (90.3 oz/t) from DDH21-8\n\no 2.44m of 1,060.0g/t Ag (34.1 oz/t) from DDH21-12 (including 1.53m of 1,644.8g/t Ag)\n\no 2.43m of 1,631.5g/t Ag (52.5 oz/t) from DDH21-13\n\no 2.59m of 1,437.6g/t Ag (46.2 oz/t) from DDH21-15\n\n· The results represent some of the best silver results (grade and width) achieved from the Silver Peak Project to date.\n\n· The bifurcating (splitting) nature of the vein system originally observed above the lower Victoria Portal was also observed in the 2021 drilling area, providing important structural information which will be critical for the planning of future drill programmes.\n\n· Additional interpretation of results underway, including overlimit analysis of select elements which is being contemplated. Overlimit analysis is undertaken where the sample grade exceeded the detection limits for the assay test procedures implemented, which occurred for copper, lead, zinc and antimony in certain of the samples reported in this announcement.\n\n**Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented:**\n\n“The Phase I drill programme, was designed to test for frequency and extent of the high-grade silver mineralisation encountered in 2020, and has been a great success.\n\nOur original decision to invest in the Silver Peak Project has been fully validated by each stage of exploration work and the bonanza silver grades, including a highlight intercept of 0.76m of 8,692.2g/t Ag, confirmed today represent the biggest step forward for the Project to date.\n\nWe now move to review the findings in further detail to determine next steps from both exploration and corporate perspectives.”\n\n**Programme Data:**\n\n**Silver Peak 2021 Drill Programme Assay Table**\n\n[Read More](https://www.investegate.co.uk/power-metal/pow/silver-peak-canada---drill-programme-assay-results/202111120853442249S/?fe=1&utm_source=FE%20Investegate%20Alerts&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Announcement%20Alert%20Mail&utm_campaign=Power+Metal%20Alert)\n\n**Property Ownership**\n\nThe original agreement in respect to the Silver Peak Project was announced 14 September 2020 and may be viewed through the following link:\n\n[https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/canadian-silver-project-option-exercised/14685210](https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/canadian-silver-project-option-exercised/14685210)\n\nDue to the positive results achieved during the due diligence sampling and follow up 2020 work programmes, the Company announced on 15 March 2021 that it had accelerated the earn-in on the Project and now holds a 30% interest, the details of which may be viewed through the following link:\n\n[https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/canadian-silver-project-commercial-update/14899230](https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/canadian-silver-project-commercial-update/14899230)\n\n**COMPETENT PERSON STATEMENT**\n\nThe technical information contained in this disclosure has been read and approved by Mr Nick O’Reilly (MSc, DIC, MIMMM, MAusIMM, FGS), who is a qualified geologist and acts as the Competent Person under the AIM Rules – Note for Mining and Oil & Gas Companies.
