Power Metals is also pleased to announce that it has engaged SGS Canada to carry out
metallurgical testing on Lithium – Tantalum – Cesium (LCT) pegmatite samples from the Main, North,
and West Joe dikes at Case Lake. Results of the metallurgical testing will provide important

economic study Power Metals plans to complete in 2024.
KEY EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS
Power Metals continuing to progress with its 2023 field exploration program and target
generation process at Case Lake.
Prospecting and grab sampling completed in the fall of 2023 identified several new pegmatites
southeast and north of new spodumene bearing pegmatites identified earlier in the summer at
Dome Nine (Figures 1 & 2). Prospecting along strike in the far east of the East dike also
identified new pegmatite outcrops.
Sampling of Lithium – Cesium – Tantalum bearing mineralized outcrops for metallurgical testing
at SGS has started at the Main and North dikes. The company plans to sample pollucite-rich
sections of the West Joe dike later in the fall.
Johnathan More, Chairman of Power Metals commented "We are happy with the progress of our
2023 field program and the target generation work our team have been able to complete as we
prepare to the next drill program at Case Lake. Case Lake is one of the few projects in the world
that contain Cesium mineralization in Pollucite. We are excited to begin preliminary metallurgical
work and look forward to seeing results of the test work."
