Power Metals Intersects 2.07 % Li2O and 213.96 ppm Ta Over 18.0 m at Case Lake
VANCOUVER, Jan. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Power Metals Corp. (" Power Metals Corp. " or the " Company ")
(TSX VENTURE:PWM)(FRANKFURT:OAA1)(OTC:AOUFF) is ple ased to announce drill hole assays for
lithium (Li) and tantalum (Ta) mineralized intervals for the Main Dyke at Case Lake, east of Cochrane,
Ontario. Significant intervals for the Main Dyke include:
• PWM-17-35: 1.17 % Li 2O and 165.34 ppm Ta over 8.0 m
• PWM-17-40: 2.07 % Li 2O and 213.96 ppm Ta over 18.0 m
• PWM-17-40: 2.81 % Li 2O and 143.33 ppm Ta over 7.0 m
Power Metals is also pleased to announce drill hole assays for the two new spodumene pegmatite dykes
that were discovered down hole of the Main Dyke near the end of the 2017 drill program (Power Metals
press release dated Nov. 27, 2017). The first new d yke was intersected in PWM-17-42 and 43 and then
targeted to intersect it again in PWM-17-44 and 49. This new dyke is located 20-40 m down hole from th e
Main Dyke and 35-40 m vertical depth from the surfa ce. The second new dyke was intersected in PWM-
17-42 and 49. It is located 50 m down hole from the Main Dyke and 50-80 m vertical depth from surface.
Both new dykes are open in all directions. Drilling is required to define these new dykes.
Assay highlights for the first new dyke include:
• PWM-17-42: 0.99 % Li 2O and 88.33 ppm Ta over 3.0 m
• PWM-17-43: 0.85 % Li 2O and 94.10 ppm Ta over 1.15 m
• PWM-17-44: 1.11 % Li 2O and 73.0 ppm Ta over 6.42 m
Assays for the second new dyke contain up to 343.89 ppm Ta. More drill holes intersecting this dyke are
needed for a better understanding of it.
Assay highlights for assays > 0.5 % Li 2O holes PWM-17-35 to 44 are given in Table 1. Drill hole collar
locations are given in Table 2.

Drill holes intersected the pegmatite dykes at almost 90 degrees, so intervals are close to true widths.
Power Metals has an ongoing 2000 m drill program on the Northeast Dyke that started January 10 th ,
2018.
Dr. Selway, VP of Exploration stated,"The assay highlights for hole 40 are spectacular with 18.0 m of 2.07
% Li 2O and I look forward to reviewing the assays for th e remaining holes of the drill program. The assays
for the first new dyke suggest that this dyke has real exploration potential and is a future target. During
the first few days of drilling on the Northeast Dyke we have been thrilled with what we have seen to
date. We will provide updates as they become readi ly available."
Quality Control
The drill core was sampled so that 1 m of the Case Batholith tonalite host rock was sampled followed b y 1
m long samples of the pegmatite dyke and 1 m of the Case Batholith. The sampling followed lithology
boundaries so that only one lithology unit is within a sample, except for the < 20 cm pegmatite veins in
tonalite which were merged into one sample. The drill core samples were delivered to Actlabs preparation
lab in Timmins by Power Metals' geologists. The core was crushed and pulverized in Timmins and then
shipped to Actlabs analytical lab in Ancaster which has ISO 17025 certification. Every 20 samples
included one external quartz blank, one external lithium standard and one core duplicate. The ore grad e
Li 2O% was prepared by sodium peroxide fusion with anal ysis by ICP-OES with a detection limit of 0.01 %
Li 2O.
Case Lake
Case Lake Property is located in Steele and Case to wnships, 80 km east of Cochrane, NE Ontario close
to the Ontario-Quebec border. The Case Lake pegmati te swarm consists of five dykes: North, Main,
South, East and Northeast Dykes. The Northeast Dyke contains very coarse-grained spodumene. Power
Metals has an 80% interest with its 20% working interest partner MGX Minerals Corp.
