Result of Placing

The Company is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of £1.8 million as result of the fundraising announced on 24 March 2021(the "Announcement") (the "Fundraising").

A total of 27,692,303 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") have been placed by WH Ireland Limited with new and existing investors (the "Placing") at a price of 6.5 pence per share (the "Issue Price").

As set out in the Announcement, the Company intends that the net proceeds of the Placing will be used for working capital; to fund extra deep drilling at the Company's projects of Cheyeza and Muswema; for a potential Zamsort stake increase, subject to negotiations; and to fund data acquisition and drilling in Botswana if the acquisition set out in the Announcement completes.

As also previously announced, application has been made to London Stock Exchange plc for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will be effective, and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 30 March 2021.

For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("DTRs"), the issued ordinary share capital of the Company following Admission will consist of 1,076,857,239 Ordinary Shares with voting rights attached (one vote per Ordinary Share). There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the DTRs.
