WEATHERLY INTERNATIONAL PLC - INVESTMENT UPDATE

KITUMBA PURCHASE UPDATE AND LONG-TERM RESTRUCTURING

Polo Resources Limited (AIM: POL), the multi-sector investment company with interests in oil, gold, coal, copper, phosphate, lithium, iron and vanadium, notes that its investee company, Weatherly International Plc ("Weatherly") (AIM: WTI) has announced that further to its announcements on 12 December 2017 and 2 February 2018, it has received a letter from Intrepid Mines Limited ("Intrepid") (ASX: IAU) requesting an extension of the backstop date (being the next working day after 31 March 2018) which was included in the binding agreement for the acquisition of the Kitumba Project in Zambia (the "Backstop Date"). Following the passing of the Backstop Date, Intrepid have requested an extension to 30 April 2018. Weatherly confirms that it will seek to positively engage with Intrepid regarding such extension and will provide an update in due course.

Polo has been closely following the Kitumba Project acquisition to ensure shareholders are fully informed and notes that Intrepid also made an ASX announcement on 4 April 2018 explaining that the "Backstop Date extension" was requested as they are still pursuing regulatory approval from the Ministry of Mines in Zambia. This approval appears to be the final step in the acquisition process.

Following the company's confirmation on 3 April 2018 that it had rescheduled debt repayments due on 31 March 2018, Weatherly confirms that it continues to be involved in negotiations with Orion Mine Finance (Master) Fund I LP ("Orion") to agree a long-term restructuring of Weatherly's secured debt facilities with Orion.
