[{"type":"text","content":"Power Americas Intersects 1.62% Co over 0.30 Metres and 0.46% Co over 1.5 Metres in Diamond Drilling on the Kittson-Cobalt ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 16, 2018) - Power Americas Minerals Corporation (TSXV: PAM) (FSE: VV0) (\"Power Americas\" or the \"Company\")  is pleased to announce the results of their ultralight diamond drilling program on their Kittson-Cobalt Project, located in the prolific Cobalt Silver Camp in Northeast Ontario, Canada. A total of seven shallow drill holes, totaling 161m, of BTW-size core were drilled beneath overburden-filled historic workings in the Shakt-Davis mine area. The program successfully intersected the fracture zone that hosts the Shakt-Davis mineralization over a strike length of 55 metres and to a maximum depth of 30 metres. The fracture zone ranged from 5 to 13 metres wide (drilled core length) and hosted several 0.1 - 1.0 metre quartz-carbonate veins surrounded by intense carbonate alteration. Fracture- and vein-controlled cobalt mineralization in the form of smaltite and erythrite (\"cobalt bloom\") occurred throughout this zone with values as high as 1.62% Co over 0.3 metres. A full list of significant intersections is provided in Table 1. below.

These results represent the first drilling since the 1940's at the Shakt-Davis mine and confirms the cobalt-rich nature of this extensive fracture zone. The fracture zone which hosts the Shakt-Davis mine is related to those which also host the Kittson and Edison mines to the north and east, respectively, cumulatively representing over 3km of strike lengt...
