[{"type":"text","content":"Power Americas Begins Exploration Program on the Kittson Cobalt ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 31, 2017) - Power Americas Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PAM) (\"Power Americas\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the exploration program has begun on its 100% owned Kittson Cobalt property, located approximately 8 km northwest of the town of Latchford, ON and 120 km by road north of North Bay, ON.Phase I of the Kittson exploration program will consist of reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, and relocating historic workings. This reconnaissance program will provide accurate modern data to assist in the planning of the phase II drill program. The phase I program is set to begin next month and last for 3-4 weeks with phase II expected to begin later this summer.The Kittson Cobalt Property is located within the prolific Cobalt mining camp, which has produced over 420 million ounces of silver. The Property includes two former mines, the Shakt Davies and Cobalt Kittson. These two mines saw limited production and differed from the typical Cobalt camp in that they possessed lower silver grades, but were enriched in cobalt and gold.The Shakt Davies mine saw intermittent development from 1906 - 1964, with the bulk of the underground working completed between 1924 - 1926. No production records remain, however historic reports indicate values of 1.5% cobalt over 1.37 meters and select grab samples returning up to 4% cobalt and 93.3 g/t gold. More recent sampling (1987) of the mine waste pile by the Ontario Geological Survey personnel returned 0.25% cobalt, 0.75 % nickel, 0.05% copper and 3.4 g/t gold.The Company would also like to provide an update on the Spirit River Lithium Project, located in the Peace River District of Alberta Canada (see news release 02-17-17). Brine samples were tested for potentially elevated concentrations of lithium and other important elements in reservoirs/aquifers underlying Spirit River landholdings. However, no significant results were returned. The Company and its consultants are reviewing the results to determine the next phase of exploration. The Company's consultant, APEX Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton AB, conducted the brine sampling program and the brine samples were sent to Maxxam Analytics Inc. for geochemical analysis at its Petroleum Technology Centre located in Edmont...
