Power Metal has arranged for the transfer of Schreiber-Hemlo claims held by its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Power Metal Resources Canada Inc ("Power Metal Canada") to FCM's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary.

Power Metal Canada has been issued with 333,334 FCM shares at a price of GBP3 per share for total consideration of GBP1 million.

Power Metal has also now subscribed for 9,588 shares in the pre-IPO financing of FCM at GBP3 per FCM share. The total subscription value of GBP28,764 has been paid to FCM.

Power Metal now has an interest in 342,922 FCM shares representing circa 36.1% of FCM after allowance for the pre-IPO fundraise shares issued by FCM.

Latest updates on FCM's progress may be viewed through the FCM website and the following link:

Whilst it is the intention of FCM to pursue a listing on a recognised stock exchange in London targeted for late 2021, there is no guarantee that the IPO of FCM will proceed, whether it will be able to raise additional equity funding or at what price it will issue new shares to potential investors.

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

"Completion of this transaction sees Power Metal hold a significant interest in FCM, and we look forward to FCM's progress with exploration and corporate activities in the weeks and months ahead.

Notably we look forward to the planned listing of FCM on the London capital markets and the value generative opportunity this could present for Power Metal.

This is the first completed corporate disposal/spin-out event for the Company, with a number of other potential spin-out transactions currently in progress.

The Power Metal business is focused on exploration to secure major metal discoveries, however our corporate disposal/spin-out developments have the potential to dramatically build our working capital and provide considerable financial backing to our significant exploration ambitions across the portfolio."
