Details of the option exercise can be found below.\n\n[Tati Project Botswana – Option Exercised – 07:00:05 28 Jul 2021 – POW News article | London Stock Exchange](https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/tati-project-botswana-option-exercised/15075700)\n\n**Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented:**\n\n“We are planning to launch our first drill programme at the Tati Project next month, and this expedited geophysics programme will provide valuable information to further target the drilling activity.\n\nExploration at the Tati Project is moving very rapidly and we believe there is potential for significant nickel and gold discoveries within the Project footprint.\n\nFurther information will be provided on progress in the near term.”\n\n**Phase II Exploration Programme**\n\nFollowing the completion and interpretation of the recent Phase I soil geochemical survey (announced 19 August 2021) Power Metal is planning ground-based magnetometer and radiometric geophysical surveys over selected soil anomalies, the planned survey will consist over 125 line-km split across three survey grids.\n\nThe planned Phase II ground geophysics programme, all within licence area PL127/2019, consists close spaced (100m line-spacing) combined ground magnetic and radiometric geophysics surveys over three priority survey grids (grid 3, 4 and 5) containing high priority soil anomalies:\n\n· Grid 3: 37.5 line-km of combined geophysics over a circa 3,000m long high-tenor (>100 ppm As) arsenic-in-soil anomaly.\n\n· Grid 4: 37.5 line-km of combined geophysics centred over a roughly 1,000m by 400m wide north-south trending arsenic-in-soil anomaly which is coincident with a mapped contact between the Last Hope Formation, and the Eastern successful Volcanics. This grid has an analogous geological position to the Signal Hill gold mine which is located less than 2.5km to the southeast on the same geological structure.\n\n· Grid 5: 50 line-km of combined geophysics centred over a roughly 1,500m long by 300m wide northeast-southwest trending high-tenor (>250ppm Ni) nickel-in-soil anomaly.\n\nThe geophysics surveys will employ Gem Systems GSM-19TW proton magnetometers and Radiation Solutions RS-125 spectrometers. These surveys will assist with identifying important geological structures and help discriminate between various lithological units which may correlate with orogenic gold and/or magmatic nickel mineralisation.\n\nThe goal of the above Phase II work programme is to further refine high-priority targets identified by the Phase I programme geochemical results which will then be targeted by Power Metal’s inaugural Rotary Air Blast (“RAB”) drilling campaign on the Project which is planned to start mid-September. Results from this programme and updates on the planned drilling campaign will be released to the market in the coming weeks.\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.
