Arkle Resources PLC (AIM:ARK), the Irish Gold and Zinc resources discovery company, is pleased to announce that it has raised £215,000 (before expenses) through a placing of 61,428,571 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.35p per share (the "Placing Shares") (the "Placing"). Each Placing Share has one warrant attached with the right to subscribe for one new ordinary share at 0.35p for a period of two years.

USE OF FUNDS

The net funds received from the Placing will be used for the recently announced Lithium exploration programme as well as for general corporate activities.

John Teeling and James Finn, both directors of the Company, have participated in the Placing on the same terms as described above as follows:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The participation of John Teeling and James Finn in the Placing is a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The Director independent of the Placing (being David Cockbill) considers, having consulted with SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the participation in the Placing by Mr Teeling and Mr Finn is fair and reasonable in so far as Arkle's shareholders are concerned.
