New Copper Anomalies Identified - Garfield Property, Nevada
Positive Findings from Satellite Imagery Analysed over Garfield
Property; Additional Claims Staked to Cover New Target Areas
Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the London listed
exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across
its global project portfolio announces the results from recently
completed satellite imagery analysis over the Garfield Property
("Garfield" or the "Property") located in the prolific Walker Lane
Mineral Belt in Nevada, USA.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Analysis of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and
Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and European Space Agency Sentinel-2
datasets has been undertaken by global image processing expert Dr.
Neil Pendock from Dirt Exploration based out of Cape Town, South
Africa.
- This analysis identified two strong anomalies, prospective for
copper mineralisation, as evidenced by detailed mathematical
analysis of spectral end members that correlate with known copper
mineralistion in the area.
- The new anomalies are located over 1km and 1.5km away from the
main Garfield showings, expanding the potential copper
mineralisation footprint significantly.
- Additional claims have now been staked to cover the identified
anomalies, increasing the claims held at the Property from three to
eleven claims.
- The Power Metal technical team is reviewing other strong
anomalies near to the newly expanded Property which were identified
by the satellite imagery analysis.
A map highlighting the newly acquired ground, as well as the
copper anomalies identified by the analysis can be found at the
following link:

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources
plc, commented:
"Power Metal is grateful to Dr Pendock for his work which has
led to the identification of prospective copper anomalies at our
100%-owned Garfield Property
This has been achieved by deploying the latest satellite imagery
analysis techniques, undertaken at reasonable cost and is a
material outcome from initial exploration work.
Given the findings we have intensified our exploration
activities at Garfield and look forward to further updating
shareholders with the outcomes from this exploration work."
WORK UNDERTAKEN
Analysis of various datasets including Japanese Aster and
European Space Agency Sentinel-2 was undertaken. These datasets
offer high spatial resolution visible/near infrared (VNIR),
shortwave infrared (SWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) imagery.
The analysis was completed by global image processing expert Dr.
Neil Pendock from Dirt Exploration based out of Cape Town, South
Africa. As a result of the findings, additional staking has now
been completed which cover two anomalies identified by the
satellite analysis.
The Japanese Aster thermal camera (longwave infrared) allows for
remote mapping of mobile metal ions within the earth's upper
unconsolidated bedrock and loose soil (regolith) using the
emissitivity properties of minerals within the regolith.
This type of analysis is extremely well suited to Nevada, and
specifically within the Walker Lake Mineral Belt (WLMB) due to the
lack of vegetative cover over most of southwestern Nevada.
Detailed spectral analysis of approximately 380,000-hectares
within the WLBM, cross-referenced with hundreds of known mineral
occurrences mapped by the United States Geological Survey, allows
for the determination of several spectral end-members which are
well correlated with copper deposits within the area.
Specifically, spectral end-members represented by the minerals
Serpentine (weathering product of ultramafic mireals) and Jarosite
(formed by the oxidation of iron sulfides) were determind to have a
strong correlation with known copper deposits within the WLMB.
Serepentine is a weathering product of ultramafic minerals, and is
a well known mineral associated with skarn-type mineralisation,
which the Garfield Property is highly prospective for.
By amalgamating the various spectral endmembers associated with
copper deposits in the region, areas highly prospective for copper
mineralisation, including skarn-type mineralisation, were mapped
across Garfield and within the surrounding areas.
Two strong anomlies (shown as warmer colours on map) were
identified over 1km (Anomaly A), and 1.5km away (Anomaly B) from
the main Garfield showings. Historic rock sampling proximal to
these anomalies returned up to 2.6% Copper, and 5.53% respectively
- further proving up the accuracy of the analysis completed.
Interestingly, the copper indicators at the newly discovered
Anomaly A and B are much stronger than dispalyed at the original
Garfield showing, suggesting mineralisation may be stronger and
more prospective in these newly acquired areas.
Claims have now been staked to cover these areas identified, and
the company is reviewing other strong anomalies near to the newly
expanded Property which were identified by the analysis which lie
on ground currently open for staking.
