1.         Purchase of Partnership Shares / Award of Matching Shares under the Company's 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP")

Capricorn announces that, on 6 May 2022, the trustee (the "Trustee") of the Company's HMRC approved all-employee SIP purchased ordinary shares of 21/13 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in the market at a price of £2.076 per Ordinary Share on behalf of participants in the "Partnership Share" element of the SIP using deductions made from their gross salary.

Capricorn also announces that, on 6 May 2022, awards of further Ordinary Shares were made to the participants under the "Matching Share" element of the SIP on the basis of two free Matching Shares for every one Partnership Share purchased. The Ordinary Shares used to satisfy these awards were existing shares previously purchased in the market.

Details of the Executive Directors and PDMRs who participated in the purchase / award are as follows:

Eric Hathon, Director of Exploration	867	1734	2601
