Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM which is expected on 18 March 2015 ("Admission"). Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 374,426,515 ordinary shares in issue. The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares.

Kurt Budge, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:

"We are pleased to deliver a capital raising in a tough market for junior mining companies. The capital raise comes on top of the £150,000 injection announced earlier in the year. Furthermore it represents another milestone for the Beowulf leadership team and provides us with the working capital to focus on gaining an early and positive decision by the Swedish Government on the Kallak North Exploitation Concession, and to concurrently advance other value creating opportunities."
