Power Ore Releases Ultra High Resolution
Images of Surface Workings and Stockpiles from
Mann Mine Airborne Survey
TORONTO
, Sept. 17, 2018 /CNW/ - Power Ore ("Power Ore" or the "Company") (TSX.V: PORE) is
pleased to announce it has completed a drone-based aerial photographic and magnetic survey on its
100% owned cobalt and silver Mann Mine located in the Gowganda–Cobalt district of
Ontario
. The
Company has posted the Ultra High Resolution images on its website and are available here:
Image 1: Raw High Resolution Photo Mosaic of Mann Mine Property
Image 2: Outline of Stockpiles & Waste Areas for Sampling in Fall 2018 Exploration Program
Image 3: Zone D & Ramp Outlines with Proposed Drill Holes to expand Zone's Known Mineralization
Image 4: Channel Sampling Area and Surface Expression of Zone D Mineralization
The airborne images are a photo-mosaic that covers the area surrounding the historic Mann Mine. The
main purpose of this high resolution imaging is to locate the Mann's multiple stockpiles and tailings dumps
so that our team can sample the surface mineralisation for high grade silver and cobalt and to assist with
our upcoming field work in September. Moreover, with the discovery of the location of Zone D to the south
of the stripped outcrop we will prospect the area in more detail.
"The detail of the high resolution image is truly amazing and is really helping our interpretation and planning
for our sampling program later this month. For example we were perplexed as to why the stripped outcrop
which sits right above Zone D, returned only weak values on channel sampling. But the properly
georeferenced super high resolution image clearly shows that the surface projection of Zone D is actually
just to the south of the outcrop beneath shallow overburden," said

Mann Mine Historical Production
The Mann Mine was the subject of underground mining and exploration in the late 1910's, in the early
1950's and 1970's and in the mid 1980's, during which time a total of 5 shafts and 1 ramp were excavated
and over 328,000 ounces of silver were produced (see Power Ore Technical Report on Sedar). This long
history resulted in the creation of several stockpiles and waste dumps on the property, many which are
overgrown with vegetation and had been difficult to identify. The airborne survey has provided high
resolution colour imagery including a lower resolution survey that covers all the 1.5 square kilometres of
the targeted area and a much higher resolution survey that covers the old workings and will allow us to
generate detailed topographic contours and a digital elevation model in the deforested areas. A low
resolution image is shown in figure 1 but the full resolution imagery is available on the Mann Mine project
page on the company's website (

).
Airborne Magnetic Survey
In addition to the High Resolution Imagery, a magnetic survey was simultaneously completed at 50 metre
flight line spacing. The magnetic survey will assist in interpreting the mineralized structures which we
suspect may be causing demagnetization of the Nipissing Diabase, which hosts the silver and cobalt
mineralization on the property. This effect makes the magnetics a potential method to follow the
mineralization. The survey was flown on north-south lines in order to best resolve the east-west striking
veins and preliminary results seem to confirm this interpretation. The data for the magnetic survey is still
being processed and will be presented as soon as it is completed.
