“Today’s confirmation that Power Metal has now completed the transaction and increased its interest in Molopo Farms to 87.71% is great news for the Company. My thanks to all involved in enabling this Transaction to happen so efficiently.

We have completed the Transaction whilst in the midst of the Molopo Farms drill programme where we are progressing well with the third drill hole targeting the superconductor at target area T1-14.
