The Vendor Shares are the first of two tranches to be issued to the Vendor as outlined in the announcement "Increased Ownership in Hong Kong Mining Holdings Limited" (RNS 98021) made on 26 March 2018. The Vendor Shares are being issued as part of the consideration agreed in respect of the Company's acquisition of certain minority shareholdings in HKMH.

The Company will make an application for the Vendor Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and trading is expected to commence on 29 February 2019 ("Admission"). The Vendor Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

The Company's total issued share capital will then comprise 88,733,069 Ordinary Shares, including 730,529 Ordinary Shares held in treasury. This figure of 88,733,069 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
