Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented:

"Our congratulations to the First Class Metals team for their work and commitment to secure this listing.  In our view, First Class has a highly prospective project portfolio centred within the prolific Schreiber-Hemlo belt of Ontario, Canada, and offers investors an exciting new investment proposition. 

Moreover, with active exploration on the ground underway, including First Class Metal's joint-venture (JV) partner Palladium One (TSX-V:PDM) drilling at the Pickle Lake JV property, we anticipate active news flow from ground operations.

Today's listing is a notable event for Power Metal, where a previous project investment has now become a significant balance sheet asset. We will be watching the progress of First Class with a keen interest.

Moreover, final preparations continue for the planned listing of Golden Metal Resources plc, another North American investment opportunity centred on Nevada, USA, and where Power Metal currently holds an 83.13% interest.  I look forward to providing further updates in respect of Golden Metal in the near term."

NOTES TO EDITORS

Power Metal Resources plc - Background

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) is an AIM listed metals exploration company which finances and manages global resource projects and is seeking large scale metal discoveries.
