A new pool totalling 2.65 million options has been granted to Power Metal employees, to be allocated in line with the Board's instructions to non-Board team members, and with the same terms as the Director Options above ("Team Options"). The Team Options are in addition to 2 million previously granted options to the non-board team members (£0.30 exercise price, expiry 31/07/2028).

 

Where possible the Director, Officerand Team Options will be written under new Enterprise Management Initiative ("EMI") schemes for tax efficiency and to maximise the potential cash return to employees of the Company.

 

Related Party Transaction

The issue of the Director Options to Scott Richardson Brown, Sean Wade and Edmund Shaw has been deemed to constitute related party transactions for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.

 

Douglas William Brodie Good, being the Director independent of the issue of the Director Options, considers, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the issue of the Director Options in respect of the related parties are fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.

NOTES TO EDITORS

Power Metal Resources plc - Background

Power Metal Resources plc (AIM:POW, OTCQB:POWMF) is a London-listed metals exploration company which finances and manages global resource projects and is seeking large scale metal discoveries.

 

The Company has a principal focus on opportunities offering district scale potential across a global portfolio including precious, base and strategic metal exploration in North America, Africa, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

 

Project interests range from early-stage greenfield exploration to later-stage prospects currently subject to drill programmes.

 

Power Metal will develop projects internally or through strategic joint ventures until a project becomes ready for disposal through outright sale or separate listing on a recognised stock exchange thereby crystallising the value generated from our internal exploration and development work.

 

Value generated through disposals will be deployed internally to drive the Company's growth or may be returned to shareholders through share buy backs, dividends or in-specie distributions of assets.
