("Rome Resources", the "Company" or the "Group")

Proposed equity fundraise

Rome Resources (AIM: RMR), the DRC-focused tin and copper explorer, following the recently announced £1.9 million fundraise, announces its intention to conduct a further fundraising to raise gross proceeds of £200,000 through a placing (the "Placing") of 100,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") of 0.1 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), primarily to JLE Group ("Placees") at an issue price of 0.2 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Placing Price").

The placees in the Placing will, upon Admission (as defined below) be issued with one warrant to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share for every Placing Share, with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one new Ordinary Share at a price of 0.4 pence at any time in the three-year period from issue (the "Warrants"). The Warrants are non-transferable by the holders without the prior consent of the Company. The Warrants will be in certificated form and none of the Warrants will be admitted to trading on AIM or any other stock exchange.

The issue of Warrants will be subject to the passing of the Resolutions by the requisite majority of shareholders at the general meeting of the Company ("General Meeting"). A notice convening the General Meeting will be posted to shareholders in due course.

Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome, commented:

"This support from JLE provides funding for any additional work the Company wishes to undertake associated with the upcoming drilling programme on Bisie North. Management is looking forward to commencing operations soon and will provide regular updates of its progress and results."

An investment by JLE Group Limited represents the majority of the Placing book.

The Placing Agreement contains customary warranties, indemnities and undertakings from the Company in favour of the Bookrunner.

The Broker Warrants are exercisable at 0.4 pence per Broker Warrant for a period of three years from the date of Admission (as defined below). The Broker Warrants will not be admitted to trading on AIM or any other stock exchange.

The new Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and with the existing Ordinary Shares including, without limitation, the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or after the date of issue.

The Placing is not being underwritten by Zeus or any other person.
