The first drill hole for this 2018 summer drill program will be PWM-18-84 on the Main Dyke (Figure 1).  A total of 5,400 m of drilling and 50 holes was previously completed on the Main, North and South Dyke last year with great success. \n\n\n \n \n\n \nDr. Selway, VP of Exploration, stated \"We are thrilled to commence drilling again at Case Lake for this extremely large drill program. We anticipate drilling in excess of 15,000 metres over several targets that we have identified through previous drilling and our successful mapping programs.\"\n\nHighlights from the 2017 fall/winter drilling on the Main Dyke includes:\n\n\nPWM-17-08: 1.94 % Li2O and 323.75 ppm Ta over 26.0 m\nPWM-17-09: 1.23 % Li2O and 148.0 ppm Ta over 16.0 m\nPWM-17-10: 1.74 % Li2O and 245.96 ppm Ta over 15.06 m\n\nLithium grades are up to 3.29 % Li2O over 1.0 m in PWM-17-08 in the quartz core with coarse-grained pale green spodumene. \n\nNear the end of the 2017 drill program, Power Metals' exploration team discovered two new spodumene pegmatite dykes located between the Main Dyke and the South Dyke. The first new dyke was intersected in PWM-17-42 and 43 with locally up to 30% spodumene. The exploration team then targeted the new dyke to intersect it again in PWM-17-44 and 49. This new dyke is located 20-40 m down hole from the Main Dyke and 35-40 m vertical depth from the surface. The second new spodumene pegmatite dyke was intersected in PWM-17-42 and 49. It is located 50 m down hole from the Main Dyke and 50-80 m vertical depth from surface.\n\nOne of the drill targets for the 2018 summer drill program will be to extend the strike length of the...
