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.

The Company has a principal focus on opportunities offering district scale potential across a global portfolio including precious, base and strategic metal exploration in North America, Africa and Australia.

Project interests range from early-stage greenfield exploration to later-stage prospects currently subject to drill programmes.

Power Metal will develop projects internally or through strategic joint ventures until a project becomes ready for disposal through outright sale or separate listing on a recognised stock exchange thereby crystallising the value generated from our internal exploration and development work.

Value generated through disposals will be deployed internally to drive the Company's growth or may be returned to shareholders through share buy backs, dividends or in-specie distributions of assets.

Pilot Mountain Project - Tungsten Off-take Letter of Intent

Golden Metal Resources plc (LON:GMET), a mineral exploration company focused on tungsten, gold, copper and silver within Nevada, USA, is pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with United States-based Global Tungsten & Powders LLC ("GTP") of Towanda, Pennsylvania, in respect of a tungsten concentrate off-take agreement ("Off-take") for Golden Metal's wholly-owned Pilot Mountain Project ("Pilot Mountain" or the "Project") located within the prolific Walker Lake Mineral Belt in Nevada, USA.

The non-binding LOI provides outline terms for a future off-take agreement, subject to successful technical and legal due diligence, and also to Golden Metal securing necessary funding to develop Pilot Mountain.

Highlights:

- LOI signed with leading United States supplier of tungsten powders and semi-finished parts outlining proposed terms to acquire a minimum of 50,000 metric MTU's (metric ton unit) W0 (3) contained in tungsten concentrates, which may be increased to 70,000 MTU's by mutual agreement, subject to the successful development of the Project.

- The specific product outlined in the Off-take is for 65% WO (3) tungsten concentrate. Pricing will be in US dollars and based on a discount to the European APT (ammonium Paratungstate) quote provided by Fast Markets (Formerly Metal Bulletin). (1)

- GTP and Golden Metal also intend to discuss and consider cooperation opportunities for the development of a Western World supply chain strategy which will align with recent policy announcements from the US Department of Defense and the US Defense Logistics Agency with regard to the building of strategic stockpiles of critical minerals, including tungsten products.

Oliver Friesen, CEO of Golden Metal, commented:

"Let me be the first to welcome our new partner Global Tungsten & Powders, which is a significant player in the global tungsten industry. The signing of this agreement represents a significant milestone and an encouraging step forward for our Pilot Mountain Project.

"The LOI not only outlines the proposed terms of a supply agreement for future tungsten concentrate sales to GTP from Pilot Mountain, but also the cooperation between our two companies in regard to the development of Western World critical metals supply chains - with particular reference to tungsten.

"Today's announcement also further bolsters the Project's overall profile and its attractiveness as a target for non-dilutive grant funding for exploration and development, something the Company is actively pursuing at present."

About GTP

Global Tungsten & Powders (GTP) develops, manufactures and markets refractory metal powders such as tungsten, tungsten carbide, and cobalt. GTP is a leading Western supplier with production facilities in the United States, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Luxembourg

Property Ownership

Golden Metal holds a 100% interest in the Pilot Mountain Project through its wholly-owned Nevada-based operating companies BFM Resources Inc and Pilot Metals Inc.

Reference Notes:

1: Tungsten concentrate pricing is generally structured at a discount to the tungsten APT price reflecting the value added via the upgrade to APT.

The Projects:

Pilot Mountain Project

The Pilot Mountain project is an advanced exploration and mineral resource definition stage project located in Mineral County in western Nevada. The project covers an area of 14.80 km (2) (3,656.1 acres) and is located 200km southeast of Reno and 18km east of Mina, Nevada. It is well situated for the supply of power, water and skilled labour and proximity to transport infrastructure in Mineral County and is centred around four existing mineral deposits: Garnet; Good Hope; Gunmetal and Desert Scheelite, all of which possess significant skarn-style tungsten-copper-silver-zinc mineralisation. The Pilot Mountain project consists of 176 active lode mining claims and 4 filed mill site claims. The four mill site claims filed at the former Dunham mill site have secure access to groundwater supply sufficient for the proposed project.
