Neo Energy Metals plc / LSE: NEO, A2X: NEO / Market: Main Market of the London Stock Exchange 12 March 2026 Neo Energy Metals plc('Neo Energy' or 'the Company') UPDATE ON ACQUISITION OF THE NEW BEISA MINE (BEATRIX 4 SHAFT) Neo Energy Metals PLC ("Neo") provides a clarification update with respect to its acquisition of the New Beisa Mine (Beatrix 4 Shaft) and associated processing infrastructure from Sibanye-Stillwater Limited ("Sibanye") (the "Transaction").The Transaction was concluded on 6 December 2024 ("Signature Date") with completion to occur within 24 months. There remains one Condition Precedent ("CP") outstanding, being approval of the applications seeking approval under Section 11 and Section 102 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act. This requires Sibanye to obtain approval under Section 102 from the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy to transfer the Beatrix 4 Mining Right out of their existing portfolio of mining rights in order to effect the sale. This transfer is required to be completed within 18 months from the Signature Date of the Transaction, and this remains on track for completion within this defined timeline. Once this approval has been granted, Sibanye can then submit the Section 11 application in order to transfer the Mining Right to the Company's majority owned subsidiary, Neo Uranium Resources Beisa Mine (Pty) Limited.Remaining Process and Key MilestonesThe remaining steps to progress the Transaction are as follows:1. Sibanye to obtain Section 11 and Section 102 approvals to enable Sibanye to obtain the relevant Mining Rights before 6 June 2026; and 2. Upon conclusion of the above, Sibanye will continue with the Section 11 approval for the Transaction, which is contingent on a consolidation exercise and is expected to be completed within the 24 months period from Signature Date as per the agreement which was signed on the 6 December 2024. Impact on Implementation of the Beisa MineAs previously advised to shareholders, the Beisa Mine is planned be operational in the second half of 2027. This will be achieved in three phases over the next 18 to 24 months. The first phase, an implementation assessment, is to evaluate the entire mining operation in order to accurately determine the capital cost and to update the mining plan. This phase will take six (6) to nine (9) months to complete and is planned to commence during March 2026. The estimated approval of the Section 11 application in the later part of this year will have no impact on this phase. This phase will be completed by means of contractor agreements which management are in the process of finalising. The second phase is to finalise the optimal funding structure for the mine recommencement works over 12 months. This will production and costs profiles and cashflow projects calculated in Phase 1. The final Phase 3 will be to ready the site for production. Phase 3 is estimated to take between 6 to 12 months, a timeframe which remains the same a previously communicated.Working Capital PositionDe Wet Schutte, Chief Financial Officer of Neo, commented:"Following our recent fundraising activities, the Company has sufficient working capital to manage its expenses during this period while the remaining regulatory processes are concluded."
