[{"type":"text","content":"Power Americas Provides Update on 2017 Exploration Program on the Kittson Cobalt ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2017) - Power Americas Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PAM) (\"Power Americas\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has completed the 2017 exploration program on the Kittson Cobalt Project Located in the prolific Cobalt Silver Camp in Northeast Ontario, Canada. The 2017 exploration program consisted of reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, and shallow diamond drilling using an ultralight man-portable drill rig. The primary focus of the 2017 exploration program was to define and better understand the historic cobalt mineralization on the project in order to develop drill targets for a future drill program. Preliminary prospecting results from this program returned up to 3.66% Cobalt (see PAM news release 10-03-2017).The drilling portion of the of the 2017 exploration program included seven drill holes, totaling 161m, of BTW core. This work was designed to test beneath overburden filled historic workings on the historic Shakt-Davis mine. The program successfully intersected the fracture zone that hosts the Shakt-Davis mineralization over a strike length of 55 metres. The fracture zone ranged from 5 to 13 meters wide (drilled core length) and hosted several 0.1-1.0 metre quartz-carbonate veins surrounded by intense carbonate alteration. Assay results are pending and will be released as they become available.Mapping and sampling was also completed as part of the Company's due diligence on newly acquired claims to the southwest of the core property (see PAM news release 11-22-17). This work encountered numerous undocumented workings (pits, shafts and trenches) over approximately three kilometre strike length located in a Nipissing diabase, similar to the mineralization at the Shakt-Davis mine. Sampling results are pending and will be released as they become available. Closing of the above transaction is subject to receipt of all required documentation and final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company also announces that Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P.Geo., a current director has been appointed Vice-President of Exploration. The 2017 Kittson Cobalt Exploration Program has been under the direct supervision and management of Mr. Pettigrew and Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corp...
