Power Metals plans summer work at Decelles, Mazerac

Mr. Johnathan More reports

POWER METALS TO CONDUCT FIELD PROGRAM THIS SUMMER AT DECELLES AND MAZERAC IN COLLABIRATION WITH WINSOME RESOURCES

Power Metals Corp. has provided an exploration update on its planned 2024 summer field program in collaboration with Winsome Resources at the Decelles and Mazerac properties in Quebec. Along with an exploration update on drilling at the Company's Case Lake property, which is over halfway completed for the 4,000m winter program.

Haydn Daxter, Power Metals CEO commented "We are extremely excited to be working in collaboration with such a highly skilled team at Winsome Resources as we conduct our summer field program in Quebec at our Decelles and Mazerac properties. Having visited the Winsome offices, met with the team, and conducted a site visit earlier this year highlighted the professional standards and caliber of the Winsome team. Power Metals will target a field mapping program to include out crop sampling and a series of soil samples across each as we look to unlock the potential in both properties."

QUEBEC SUMMER PROGRAM

The Company has developed its 2024 exploration strategy for its early-stage properties in Quebec with Decelles and Mazerac with an expected commencement in June of this year. Following on from the executive management team's site visit to the Val-d'Or with Winsome Resources (Figure 1) both companies plan to collaborate in executing the Company's exploration strategy in Quebec which will include utilization of part of Winsome's exploration team to conduct field exploration programs in the coming months. The Company is also conducting a review at each property with historical geophysical data, geological data, and LiDAR data in developing its geological model and target areas for the summer program.

CASE LAKE DRILLING

The Company has completed 2,088 meters for seventeen (17) drill holes of the planned 4,000-meter drill program at West Joe and Main Zone. Drilling has continued at the West Joe deposit with continued coarse to very coarse spodumene present along with pollucite mineralization that is associated to high grade cesium mineralization (Figure 2). West Joe appears as a highly fractionated pegmatite anomaly that is conducive to pollucite and high grade cesium (Press release reported on April 2, 2024 ). The continued visual presence of coarse grained spodumene mineralization and pollucite at West Joe from our current drill program is very encouraging for the Company as we continue to grow the known spodumene and cesium mineralized anomaly.

The Company will commence a series of regional step out exploration holes at West Joe with 200-meter centers from the current mineralized zone on the property, these exploration holes will run east and west of the West Joe deposit along the same structural trend that has been identified by the Company.

Once the drilling has been completed at West Joe the Company will conduct a series of regional exploration holes to the west of the Main Zone, these will target a region that to date remains untested between the Main Zone and West Joe on the Case Lake property (Figure 3). Drilling will remain ongoing at Case Lake throughout April and the Company expects to complete the planned 4,000 meters by the end of the month.

Johnathan More, Chairman of Power Metals commented "We are extremely pleased with the progress of drilling to date along with the visual intercepts of spodumene and pollucite mineralization from our Case Lake drilling program. Along with our collaboration planned with the highly skilled team at Winsome Resources, this will add further value to our Decelles and Mazerac properties as part of our early-stage exploration work commences. Assays remain on track for later this month and the Company is well positioned to fund further exploration throughout the year."

Case Lake Property

The Case Lake Property is located 80 km east of Cochrane, northeastern Ontario close to the Ontario - Quebec border. The Property consists of 585 cell claims in Steele, Case, Scapa, Pliny, Abbotsford and Challies townships, Larder Lake Mining Division. The Property is 10km by 9.5km in size with 14 granitic domes. The Case Lake pegmatite swarm consists of six spodumene dykes known as the North, Main, South, East and Northeast dykes on the Henry Dome, and the West Joe dyke on a new dome, collectively forming mineralization trend that extends for approximately 10km (Figure 4).

Power Metals have completed several exploration campaigns that have led to the discovery and expansion of new and historic spodumene bearing LCT pegmatites at Case Lake. The Company has drilled a total of 15,700 meters of core between 2017 and 2022 at the Property. The Case Lake Property is owned 100% by Power Metals Corp. A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report has been prepared on Case Lake Property and filed on July 18, 2017.

Pelletier Property

The Pelletier Property is located 50km south of Hearst, northeastern Ontario close to a network of forestry roads. The Property consists of 337 mineral claims that account for a total of 7000 hectares in Franz, Roche, Scholfield, and Talbot townships in the Porcupine mining division. The Pelletier Project is characterized by LCT prospective S-type pegmatitic granites intruding into metasedimentary and amphibolite of the Quetico at or near Archean terrane boundary between the Quetico and Wawa sub-provinces.

Decelles Property

The Decelles Property contains 669 claims, covering 38,404 hectares of LCT prospective ground near the mining centers of Val-dOr and Rouyn-Noranda, approximately 600km from Montreal. Power Metals acquired the Decelles and Mazerac properties from Winsome Resources in 2023 in a deal that allowed Winsome to increase its stake to 19.59% (Refer to press release announced on August 24, 2023 ). The geology of Decelles property is part of the Archean Pontiac sub-province where S-type LCT prospective, pegmatite bearing, granitic Decelles Batholith intrudes into metasedimentary units of the Pontiac Group. Spodumene and Beryl bearing pegmatites have been reported historically within the Pontiac sub-province in association with S-type garnet-muscovite granite. The Decelles property is adjacent to Vision Lithium's Cadillac property where discovery of high-grade lithium pegmatites was reported in 2022.

Mazerac Property

The Mazerac Property is located approximately 30 km east of Power Metals' Decelles property near well-established mining camps in the Abitibi region of Canada and is accessible by network of mining-grade forestry roads. The Mazerac property contains 259 claims that cover 14,700 hectares of LCT prospective ground near the mining center of Val-dOr and Rouyn-Noranda. The regional geology of Mazerac is similar to Decelles where S-type LCT prospective, pegmatite bearing, granites of Decelles Batholith intrude into metasedimentary units of the Pontiac Group. Spodumene and Beryl bearing pegmatites have been reported historically within the Pontiac sub-province in association with S-type garnet-muscovite granite.

Pollucite and Cesium

Pollucite is a rare mineral that hosts high grade cesium and is associated with highly fractionated, rare element pegmatites. The main source of cesium known globally is pollucite (Cs,Na)2(Al2Si4O12)*bullet*2H2O, (https://www.gov.mb.ca/iem/geo/industrial/pollucite.html). Currently the Tanco mine in Manitoba, Canada is the only operating cesium deposit and holds over 60% of the known reserves globally.
