"Company")
Interim Results
Power Metal Resources plc, the AIM listed metals exploration and
development company, announces its unaudited interim results for
the six month period ended 31 March 2023 (the "period").
Sean Wade, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal commented:
"The key to unlocking value is to complete planned portfolio
disposals, secure operational partnerships over certain exploration
interests, drive our uranium interests forward, and ensure the
Company has access to quality sources of finance in sufficient
quantity to enable it to boldly pursue its ambitions.
"We are making progress across all these areas and whilst the
completion of the Golden Metal Resources IPO and GBP2.7m financing,
both in May 2023, are perhaps the notable events for investors
recently, we hope to announce many more corporate and exploration
events in the coming weeks and months.
"I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support
as we progress through what we believe will be a vibrant and
exciting period in the Company's history."
KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE HALF YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2023
- Completion of exploration programmes across three projects,
including drilling at Molopo Farms in Botswana and the Victoria
Goldfields in Australia, as well as geophysics and trenching at the
Tati project in Botswana. All three have delivered positive
exploration results, justifying a decision to proceed to next stage
exploration with potential partners showing interest in all three
projects.
- Material progress achieved in corporate activities, including
pre-IPO preparations for Golden Metal Resources PLC, First
Development Resources PLC and Uranium Energy Exploration Ltd.
- Broad spectrum advancement of the Company's Athabasca Basin
uranium portfolio, including additional ground acquisitions through
staking, and the management of third-party interest in the uranium
portfolio.
- Completion of the conditional acquisition of a larger stake in
the Molopo Farms Complex project; the conditional disposal of the
Company's interests in the E-12 property in the Athabasca Basin to
Uranium Energy Exploration, and the completion of the disposal of
the Company's interest in the Kanye Resources joint venture ("JV"),
to partner Kavango Resources PLC (LON:KAV) for shares, warrants,
royalty and long term compensation potential.
- Management changes including the appointment of Owain Morton
as Non-Executive Director and Sean Wade as Chief Executive Officer.
Together the appointments bring detailed geological, mine
engineering and corporate finance skills to the Board and provide
Power Metal with an extensive financing network for the Company and
its planned spin-out IPO activity.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS SINCE 31 MARCH 2023
- Listing of Golden Metal Resources PLC on the London Stock
Exchange in May 2023, with a value of Power Metal's holding on
listing of c GBP4.4m;
- Appointment of Bill Brodie Good as a Non-Executive Director in May 2023; and
- Financing which has raised GBP2.7m for the Company to support
an acceleration of value generative exploration and corporate
activity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
1. Reporting entity
Power Metal Resources plc is a company domiciled in the United
Kingdom. The unaudited consolidated interim financial report of the
Group as at and for the period ended 31 March 2023 comprises the
results of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Group primarily is
involved in the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources
in Australia, Botswana, Canada, Cameroon, the DRC, USA and
Tanzania.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
As permitted, IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' has not been
applied in this interim report.
The financial information presented in this interim report has
been prepared using accounting policies that are expected to be
applied in the preparation of the financial statements for the year
ending 30 September 2023.
These policies are in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations
(collectively IFRS) issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board as endorsed for use in the United Kingdom, and
these principles are disclosed in the Financial Statements for the
year ended 30 September 2022.
The interim results have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The financial information in this interim report does not
constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of
the Companies Act 2006. The 2023 interim financial report has not
been audited.
The Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2022 have been
filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors'
Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statement for 2022 was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3)
of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim results were approved by the Board of Directors on
27 June 2023.
(b) Judgements and estimates
Preparing the interim financial report requires Management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income, and expense. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
In preparing this consolidated interim financial report,
significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group's
accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were
the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial
statements as at and for the year ended 30 September 2022.
(c) Going concern
The interim financial report has been prepared on a going
concern basis. Although the Group's assets are not generating
revenues, the Directors believe, having considered all available
information, including the Company's proven ability to raise
further equity funds from its supportive shareholder base, that the
Group will have sufficient funds to meet its expected committed and
contractual expenditure for the foreseeable future. Thus, the
Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting
in preparing the interim financial report for the period ended 31
March 2023.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this
consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied
