Power Metals Corp. (" Power Metals " or the " Company ") (TSXV: PWM) (FRANKFURT: OAA1) (OTC: PWRMF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the " Sinomine Agreement ") with Sinomine ( Hong Kong ) Rare Metals Resources Co Limited (" Sinomine ") which provides for an equity financing and an agreement to negotiate an offtake agreement with Sinomine. The parties initially entered into a letter of intent in September 2020 .
Founded in 1999, Sinomine Resource Group Co., Ltd., is a multi-billion dollar integrated international mining enterprise with a complete industrial chain. Sinomine succeeded in listing in Shenzhen Stock Exchange Market in China in 2014. Its main business covers three segments, the rare light minerals development (Li, Ce, Rb), geo-tech services and mining rights investment. Sinomine has been engaging in mining, R&D, producing and products marketing of lithium, cesium and rubidium resources around the world. It owns two operating copper mines in Africa . Sinomine is dedicated to providing high-quality services to the global mining enterprise as well as mining property acquisition, investment and commercialization.
Johnathan More , Chairman and Director of Power Metals commented, "This is a huge day for all shareholders of Power Metals. Sinomine is one of the largest producers of rare & light minerals products in the world and their partnership in developing our Case Lake Project will bring extensive value. In 2019, Beijing based Sinomine Resource Group acquired the historic TANCO Lithium Mine in Manitoba giving our newly formed partnership a well-situated processing facility for our lithium, cesium and tantalum. Sinomine's investment in our Company will fully and immediately be directed towards the advancement of Case Lake and their additional advisement at the board level is invaluable."
Wang Pingwei, Chairman and CEO of Sinomine commented, "Power Metals is a promising mining company with great potential in lithium, cesium and tantalum resources. Sinomine will work closely with Power Metal to develop together to achieve win-win relations, and eventually to make major breakthroughs in the field of rare & light minerals."
The equity financing will consist of subscription receipts to acquire 15 million units (" Units ") of the Company at $0.20 per subscription receipt ($3,000,000) . The Units will each consist of one common share of the Company and a three year share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at $0.40 per share. Sinomine has committed to acquire half of the subscription receipts, which when converted will result in Sinomine holding approximately 5.7% (undiluted) of the outstanding shares of the Company. In conjunction with the financing, Sinomine will have the right to appoint a member to the Company's Board of Directors. Management and insiders of Power Metals will also be participating in the placement.
The Sinomine Agreement provides that the parties will enter into a mutually satisfactory offtake agreement (" Offtake Agreement ") on all lithium, cesium and tantalum produced from the Company's Case Lake Property within three months of closing of the equity financing. The Subscription Receipts will convert to Units upon the Offtake Agreement being signed. If a mutually satisfactory Offtake Agreement is not signed those subscription receipts held by Sinomine will be cancelled and the remaining subscription receipts will be converted to Units.
On or concurrent with closing of the subscription receipt financing approximately $660,000 of debt held by company insiders will be converted into Units of the Company at $0.20 per unit.
