Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW), the AIM listed metals
exploration and development company, announces that it has granted
options over 77.5 million new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in
the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to certain Directors and staff
members to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares at an exercise price
of 1.50p with a life to expiry of 5 years from yesterday's date
with a one-year vesting period (the "Options")
Power Metal recognises the value of incentivising team members

Further details on the grant of options are provided below and
recognise the immense contribution made by the team to the rapid
development of the Company and the strategic current value of its
broad-spectrum natural resource focused exploration and development
portfolio.

37.5 million Options have been granted to Power Metal board
directors (the "Director Options"). The Director Options, along

A new pool totalling 40 million Options has been granted to
Power Metal employees, to be allocated in line with the Board's
instructions to non-Board team members, and with the same terms as
the Director Options above ("Team Options"). The Team Options are
in addition to 40 million previously granted options to the team
(3.25p exercise price, expiry 4 June 2024) and therefore the
non-Board Power Metal employees in total will share in a combined
total of 80 million options or circa 4% of currently issued
ordinary share capital.
Where possible the Board and Team Options will be written under
new Enterprise Management Initiative ("EMI") schemes for tax
efficiency and to maximise the potential cash return to employees
of the Company.
Related Party Note
The issue of the Director Options to Scott Richardson Brown,
Sean Wade, Edmund Shaw and Douglas William Brodie Good has been
deemed to constitute related party transactions for the purposes of
AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
Owain Morton being the Director independent of the issue of the
Director Options considers, having consulted with the Company's
nominated adviser, SP Angel, the issue of the Director Options in
respect of the related parties are fair and reasonable insofar as
the Shareholders are concerned.

NOTES TO EDITORS
Power Metal Resources plc - Background
Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) is an AIM listed metals
exploration company which finances and manages global resource
projects.
The Company has a principal focus on opportunities offering
district scale potential across a global portfolio including
precious, base and strategic metal exploration in North America,
Africa and Australia.
Project interests range from early-stage greenfield exploration
to later-stage prospects currently subject to drill programmes.
Power Metal will develop projects internally or through
strategic joint ventures until a project becomes ready for disposal
through outright sale or separate listing on a recognised stock
exchange, thereby crystallising the value generated from our
internal exploration and development work.
Value generated through disposals will be deployed internally to
grow the Company or may be returned to shareholders through share
buy backs, dividends or in-specie distributions of assets.
