Dr. Mike Armitage, being the sole independent Director in the matter of the Directors Subscription, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, is satisfied that the terms of the Directors' Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. The Directors' Subscriptions have been made on the same terms as the Placing.
Admission
The Subscription Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares. An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Subscription Shares to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 7 July 2025.
Use of Proceeds
As per the Placing, the net funds raised by the Directors' Subscriptions will be applied towards drilling at the Company's Mushima North Project and for working capital.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission of the Subscription Shares the Company's enlarged issued share capital will be 4,963,009,573 ordinary shares.
The Company holds no ordinary shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 4,963,009,573 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
