Drill hole PWM-18-51, the first drill hole on the Northeast dyke and on the entire claim, is in progress and is collared 5 m north of the spodumene pegmatite outcrop. This shallow hole will drill underneath the location of the surface assay of 7.14 % Li2O (Power Metals press release dated Dec. 4, 2017). \n\n\n \n \n\n \nThe Northeast Dyke is located 900 m northeast along strike of the recently completed 5400 m drill program on the North and Main Dykes and is within the same tonalite dome as the North and Main Dykes. Since the Northeast, North and the Main Dykes are along the same strike and within the same dome, this indicates that they were emplaced along the same deep-seated structure. The Northeast Dyke has a pair of parallel pegmatite dykes: north and south outcrops similar to the North and Main Dykes that were recently drilled.\n\nDr. Selway, VP of Exploration stated, \"We are excited to see the drill core from the first drill hole on the Northeast Dyke after the recent discovery of abundant very coarse-grained spodumene on surface.  I am also eagerly awaiting more assays from the remaining 20 holes from the Main Dyke.\"\n\nJacob and Samuel Drilling Ltd., Sudbury, Ontario is the drill contractor. \n\nQuality ControlThe grab samples were delivered to Actlabs preparation lab in Timmins by Power Metals' geologists. The core was crushed and pulverized in Timmins and then shipped to Actlabs analytical lab in Ancaster which has ISO 17025 certification. The ore grade Li2O% was prepared by sodium peroxide fusion with analysis by ICP-OES with a detection limit of 0.01 % Li2O.\n\nCase Lake\n\nCase Lake Property is located in Stee...
