Power Metal confirms nickel targets at Botswana project

The project consists of licenses covering an area of 2,725 square kilometres that are considered prospective for Nickel-Copper-PGMs mineralisation and is fully owned by Kalahari Key, in which Power Metal has a 18.26% shareholding.

The AIM traded company also has a right to elect to earn into a 40% direct project interest in the MFC project by investing $500,000 in the project by 31 December 2020, which would leave it with an effective economic interest of 50.96%.

Paul Johnson, executive director of Power Metal, said: "I remain fascinated by the Kalahari Key opportunity and intrigued as to what might lie beneath the drill locations. I am equally keen to work with the Kalahari Key team to determine and implement the project development pathway. We look forward to keeping shareholders updated in this regard."

Power Metal shares were up 19.33% at 0.45p at 1603 BST.
