VANCOUVER, July 30, 2019 /CNW/ - Power Metals Corp. ("Power Metals Corp." or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PWM)(FRANKFURT:OAA1)(OTC:PWRMF) is pleased to announce that we have acquired 100% ownership of Case Lake lithium property located 80 km east of Cochrane, Ontario. Power Metals completed the option agreement with a third party in June 2019. As a result, Case Lake cell claims involved in the option agreement have been transferred to 100% Power Metals in Ontario's government Mining Lands Administration System (MLAS).

• 2018 summer drill program consisting of 4571 m, 44 drill holes on Main, new dykes between Main and South, East and West Joe Dykes.

The highlight of the 2018 summer drill program was the discovery of the West Joe spodumene pegmatite with high grade Li, Cs and Ta mineralization.
