("Power Metal" or the

Uranium Energy Exploration ("UEE")
Update
Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW),
the London listed exploration company with a global project
portfolio is pleased to provide an update
on the planned IPO of a number of its uranium interests using
Uranium Energy Exploration plc (UEE) as a vehicle to achieve an
admission to AIM.
Sean Wade, Chief Executive
Officer of Power Metal Resources PLC commented:
"The marketing process for the planned IPO of UEE continues to
attract significant interest from a range of investors, including
institutional investors, HNWs and retail investors in the UK and
elsewhere, including a potential cornerstone
investor.
However, a number of significant potential strategic investors
have indicated their preference for alternative deal structures
which may include a different combination of assets, or an enlarged
asset set with an enhanced business model.
The Board of Power Metal is therefore considering, from its
point of view, all options and will revert in due course on the
progress of those discussions and how this would affect the
proposed IPO of UEE both in terms of timing and
structure."
Shareholders should note that there
can be no certainty that any transaction will be completed with
POW's uranium interests.
Shareholders should also note
that Sean Wade is a director of both Power
Metal and UEE.

information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse
Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms
part of UK domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is
