Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the AIM listed metals exploration and development company is pleased to announce the commencement of the second diamond drill hole (KKME 1-6) at the Kalahari Key Mineral Exploration Pty Ltd ("Kalahari Key" or "KKME") Molopo Farms Complex Project (the "Project" or "MFC Project"), which is targeting prospective massive nickel sulphide and platinum-group metal ("PGM") mineralisation in Botswana.
HIGHLIGHTS
· The second hole (KKME 1-6) of a planned 2,505 metre four-hole programme commenced diamond drilling yesterday.
· Hole KKME 1-6 is inclined at 60 degrees and has a planned down-hole target depth of 500m to the upper side of a conductive body modelled from geophysical survey data.
· This second drill collar is located in the project's Tshepo (Hope) Central Target Area, approximately 20km west-southwest of the programme's first drill hole KKME 1-14 and along strike on the shear zone interpreted as the Molopo Farms Complex Feeder Zone.
· The Tshepo (Hope) Central Target Area lies within the centre of the interpreted feeder zone inside the near-surface sub-crop of the Molopo Farms Complex in Licence PL311/2016.
· An analysis of data from agricultural water boreholes in the vicinity shows that serpentinite ultramafic units can be expected directly under the Kalahari cover in this area.
