Power Metals: Fast-Tracking the Next High-Grade Cesium Mine w/ Haydn Daxter and Dr. Nigel Brand

In this episode, Haydn and Nigel discuss Power Metal's (TSXV: PWM | OTCQB: PWRMF) rare high-grade cesium discoveries, specifically the Case Lake project. They delve into the cost, timelines, and permitting processes compared to other critical minerals like lithium. The conversation includes updates on cesium carbonate market size (2,200 tons per year) and OPEX costs, exploration updates like cesium oxide intercepts greater than 20% in phase three drilling, and test work progress at SGS and Nagrom. The discussion also covers structural mapping exercises, upcoming exploration plans starting in March, and engagement with Canaccord for strategic guidance. They aim to fast-track mining operations and place Power Metals among the top four producers of high-grade cesium, with milestones such as the mineral resource estimate due by the end of Q1 and the PEA by the end of Q2.
