POWER METALS UNVEILS TWO NEW
TARGET ZONES AT CASE LAKE CESIUM
PROJECT
Major Highlights
The Company's enhanced structural model defines a new Cesium Triangle Zone ("CTZ")
at Case Lake, revealing three folded target zones for exploration
West Joe and Main Zone are located in the central fold, with 2 new fold zones located in
the southeast and northwest region of the CTZ
Geochemical data confirm highly evolved pegmatites in the southern Case Lake trend,
indicating potential for high-grade cesium mineralisation
Resource expansion to target 17 high priority zones for potential pollucite-bearing
pegmatite mineralization
A total of 73 targets identified within the CTZ, covering pegmatite dykes, outcrops and
structural targets across 37 square kilometers
Exploration work underway to define targets, with soil sampling and drilling
to follow

/CNW/ - Power Metals Corp (
"Power Metals"
or the
"Company"
) (TSX VENTURE: PWM) (FRANKFURT: OAA1) (OTCQB: PWRMF) is pleased to
announce an updated structural and geochemical model, featuring the new Cesium Triangle Zone
("CTZ") and outlines exploration plans for the Case Lake Cesium Project ("Case Lake") in
northeastern
Ontario
.
The CTZ is in the southern region of the property, between tonalite-granodiorites of the Case Lake
Batholith and Steele meta volcano-sedimentary units, spanning a 10 km long and 5 km wide area
covering 37 square kilometres (Figure 1).
The CTZ includes three recurring fold trends with distinct mineralization signatures from elevated
geochemistry for fertile cesium, tantalum and lithium. Current mineralization trends from east to west
across the three zones.

Haydn Daxter, CEO of Power Metals commented:
"I am very pleased with the structural work completed to date at Case Lake in collaboration with
some of the industry's most respected experts in structural geology, geophysics and geochemistry.
These efforts have provided a clearer picture of the project's geological history and identified both
current and new target zones that position the Company to unlock the property's full potential.
We have now finalised our exploration and targeting program for the next 12 months and anticipate
commencing this work in the near future, following the completion of our Maiden Resource
Estimate. We look forward to advancing the Case Lake project, building on the strength of our
initial resource and driving growth as we look to fast-track towards development.
Johnathan More
, Chairman of Power Metals commented:
The continued development and potential of the Case Lake project is truly exceptional. Our team
has not only delivered a robust group of exploration targets but also refined the geological model
that underpins our growth strategy. I am particularly encouraged by the identification of two new
zones, further strengthening our position as we develop the world's fourth hard rock cesium project
in
Ontario, Canada
.
The CTZ contains three structural corridors: southeast, central, and northwest. The central corridor
contains cesium-lithium-tantalum mineralization at the West Joe and Main Zone deposits, as well as
Northeast and Dome Nine occurrences. The recently identified southeast and northwest corridors
offer additional targets in cesium, tantalum, and lithium mineralization.
The area features strong deformation in southwest-northeast structural corridors, with magnetite-
destructive dilatational zones and folded antiforms that trap cesium-bearing pegmatites. The CTZ
includes highly fractionated pegmatites with geochemical signatures indicating cesium fertility,
stretching from Dome Nine to West Joe over approximately 10 kms (Figure 2).

zone (CNW Group/Power Metals Corp.)
The updated geological model (geophysics, geochemistry, and structural geology), based on high-
resolution airborne, drone-based magnetic surveys, geological and geochemical data from 2017 to
2024, indicates that the south-central part of Case Lake property, known as the Cesium Triangle
Zone (CTZ), represents the most fertile region for cesium, tantalum and lithium mineralization (Figure
3).
Detailed structural and geochemical analysis has produced 73 exploration targets that will be tested
with a series of soil sampling programs to continue to develop a robust geochemical data set, along
with exploration drill programs, and cesium resource expansion throughout 2025 and into 2026.

In addition, the Company is in the process of initiating field exploration programs at Case Lake that
will focus on:
Geological mapping and prospecting of priority areas and outcrops identified from target
generative work completed by industry leading consultants the company engaged throughout
2024
Soil surveys on a series of grids that cover underexplored areas throughout the CTZ, focusing
on samples from topsoil (B-horizon). The company will utilize a multi (66) element Enzyme-
Leach geochemical method that was successful in identifying cesium targets south and north of
West Joe in 2024 (Figure 4)

Case Lake Property
The Case Lake Property is located 80 km east of
Cochrane
, northeastern
Ontario
close to the
Ontario
-
Quebec
border. The Property consists of 586 cell claims in Steele, Case, Scapa, Pliny,
Abbotsford
and Challies townships, Larder Lake Mining Division. The Property is 10km by 9.5km in
size with 14 granitic domes. The Case Lake pegmatite swarm consists of six spodumene dykes
known as the North, Main, South, East and Northeast dykes on the Henry Dome, and the West Joe
dyke on a new dome, collectively forming mineralization trend that extends for approximately 10km
(Figure 5).
Power Metals have completed several exploration campaigns that have led to the discovery and
expansion of new and historic spodumene bearing LCT pegmatites at Case Lake. The Company has
drilled a total of 23,976 meters of core between 2017 and 2024 at the Property. The Case Lake
Property is owned 100% by Power Metals Corp. A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report has
been prepared on Case Lake Property and filed on
July 18, 2017
(Figure 5).
Decelles Property
The Decelles Property contains 247 claims, covering 14,229 hectares of LCT prospective ground
near the mining centres of Val-dÓr and
Rouyn-Noranda
, approximately 600km from
Montreal
.
Power Metals acquired the Decelles and Mazerac properties from Winsome Resources in 2023 in a
deal that allowed Winsome to increase its stake to 19.59% (Refer to press release announced on
August 24, 2023
), the transaction remains subject to TSXV approval. The geology of Decelles
property is part of the Archean Pontiac sub-province where S-type LCT prospective, pegmatite
bearing, granitic Decelles Batholith intrudes into metasedimentary units of the Pontiac Group.
Spodumene and Beryl bearing pegmatites have been reported historically within the
Pontiac
sub-
province in association with S-type garnet-muscovite granite. The Decelles property is adjacent to
Vision Lithium's Cadillac property where discovery of high-grade lithium pegmatites was reported in
2022 (Figure 5).
Mazerac Property
The Mazerac Property is located approximately 30 km east of Power Metals' Decelles property near
well-established mining camps in the Abitibi region of
Canada
and is accessible by network of
mining-grade forestry roads. The Mazerac property contains 115 claims that cover 6,653 hectares
of LCT prospective ground near the mining centre of Val-dÓr and
Rouyn-Noranda
. The regional
geology of Mazerac is similar to Decelles where S-type LCT prospective, pegmatite bearing,
granites of Decelles Batholith intrude into metasedimentary units of the Pontiac Group. Spodumene
and Beryl bearing pegmatites have been reported historically within the
Pontiac
sub-province in
association with S-type garnet-muscovite granite (Figure 5).

Pollucite and Cesium
Pollucite is a rare mineral that hosts high grade cesium and is associated with highly fractionated,
rare element pegmatites. The main source of cesium known globally is pollucite
(Cs,Na)
(Al
Si
O
)•2H
O, (
https://www.gov.mb.ca/iem/geo/industrial/pollucite.html
). Currently the
Tanco mine in
Manitoba, Canada
is the only operating cesium deposit and holds over 60% of the
known reserves globally.
