VANCOUVER, BC , July 12, 2022 /CNW/ - Power Metals Corp. ("Power Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV: PWM) (FSE: OAA1) (OTCQB: PWRMF) is pleased to provide an update on our recently commenced drill program at the Company's 100% owned Case Lake Property. The Company has completed an initial 8 drill holes on the Case Lake lithium property and has intersected substantial spodumene (lithium ore mineral) mineralization in every hole. A total of 4 drill holes (PWM-22-128 to 131) were completed for a total of 256 m on the West Joe Dyke. A total of 4 drill holes (PWM-22-132 to 135) were completed for a total of 435 m on the Main Dyke. The purpose of each drill hole was to infill on known mineralization to aid in a future resource estimate. These holes are part of Power Metals' fully-funded 5,000 meter 2022 summer drill program at Case Lake.
Johnathan More , Chairman & CEO of Power Metals, commented "Drilling continues at our Case Lake property as we eagerly await assay results for the initial 8 drill holes of the 2022 program. Our visual interpretations of the drill core look spectacular and we will immediately release the assay results as soon as they are received. We are extremely excited with the drilling to date as we will continue to expand our world-class lithium, cesium and tantalum discoveries on the West Joe and Main Dykes. Additionally, we are continuing our geological mapping program of the additional 12 tonalite domes identified on the property."
West Joe Dyke drill holes PWM-22-128 to 131 are along section following the West Joe Dyke down dip. These holes intersected spodumene (Li) and lepidolite (Li):
17.56-24.40 m , interval 6.84 m , spodumene and lepidolite, PWM-22-128, spodumene is up to 9 x 3 cm in size (Figure 1)
23.88-25.84 m , interval 1.96 m , spodumene, PWM-22-129, spodumene is up to 5 x 2 cm in size
36.51-43.02 m , interval 6.51m , spodumene, PWM-22-129, including 0.7 m with about 20 volume % spodumene
54.21-57.18 m , interval 2.97 m , spodumene, PWM-22-130, including 0.29 m with about 25 volume % spodumene (Figure 2)
61.83-64.09 m , interval 2.26 m , spodumene, PWM-22-131, including 1.3 m with about 10-15 volume% spodumene

Main Dyke drill holes PWM-22-132 to135 intersected wide zones of spodumene pegmatite on the Main Dyke:
2.05-27.64 m , interval 25.59 m , PWM-22-132, including 9.5 m of 10 volume % spodumene
37.42-65.41 m , interval 27.99 m , PWM-22-133, including 6.6 m of 15 volume % spodumene
19.65-25.5 m , interval 5.85 m , PWM-22-134 with 15 volume % spodumene (Figure 3)
25.5-28.1 m , interval 2.6 m , PWM-22-134, quartz core with coarse-grained white spodumene (Figure 3)
28.1-36.2 m , interval 8.1 m , PWM-22-134, including 5.75 m of 25 volume % spodumene
40.76-48.37 m , interval 7.61 m , PWM-22-134, including 2.74 m of 25 volume % spodumene
6.33-32.53 m , interval 26.2 m , PWM-22-135, including 13.45 m of < 15 volume % spodumene
Visual mineral estimates of spodumene content does not necessarily indicate Li2O % grade in assays. Drill core samples from PWM-22-132 have been cut and submitted to SGS Cochrane lab for preparation and assay. Assays are pending and will be disclosed once received.
Figure 3 Abundant green spodumene in top core box and white and green spodumene in bottom box, last row is quartz core with coarse-grained spodumene, boxes 5 and 6, 20-29 m , PWM-22-134, Main Dyke.
Drill holes PWM-22-132 to 135 also intersected the new spodumene dyke below the Main Dyke:
56.02-57.95 m , interval 1.93 m , PWM-22-132
85.07-85.8 m , interval 0.73 m , PWM-22-133
47.14-47.81 m , interval 0.67 m , PWM-22-135
The drill core was sampled so that 1 m of the Case Batholith tonalite host rock was sampled followed by 1 m long samples of the pegmatite dyke and 1 m of the Case Batholith. The sampling followed lithology boundaries so that only one lithology unit is within a sample, except for the < 20 cm pegmatite veins in tonalite which were merged into one sample. The drill core samples were delivered to SGS preparation lab in Cochrane by Power Metals' geologists. The core will be prepared at SGS Garson and analyzed at SGS Burnaby, British Columbia which has ISO 17025 certification. Every 20 samples included one external quartz blank, one external lithium standard and one core duplicate. The ore grade Li2O% was prepared by sodium peroxide fusion with analysis by ICP-OES with a detection limit of 0.002 % Li2O.
