Update on the Environmental clearance for Tschudi

Weatherly International Plc ("Weatherly" or "the Company" AIM:WTI) is pleased to announce the granting of the required environmental clearance for its Tschudi project.

Tschudi Copper Project

The Ministry for Environment and Tourism has reviewed the environmental amendments submitted by Weatherly in February and an external consultant, in conjunction with the Ministry, completed the required review. The full environmental clearance requested has now been granted by the Ministry of Tourism and Environment.

Rod Webster CEO of Weatherly commented:

"Weatherly is making significant progress towards becoming a mid-tier copper producing company and the Tschudi environmental clearance is another important milestone. I would like to commend the Ministry of Tourism and the Environment for the prompt and efficient way in which the submission has been processed which demonstrates the importance of the project to Namibia.
