Block 8 Oman: Drilling Programme Results
Power Metal Resources PLC has announced encouraging results from its maiden drilling programme at the Block 8 concession in Oman, completing eight drill holes for a total of 724.45 metres. The programme identified lithological units, alteration, and mineralisation consistent with copper-dominant Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits, with notable downhole intercepts including 1.04% Copper over 1.5m in hole AM25DD001. This work fulfills the $740,000 expenditure required to earn a 12.5% stake in the project, and the company plans further trenching and drilling to advance understanding of the mineralised zones.
