Grant of options

The Company announces that it has agreed to grant 150 million share options to Donald Strang and 150 million share options Hamish Harris ("New Options").

Each New Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for new ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the Company ("Shares") at an exercise price of 0.05 pence per Share and are exercisable at any time until 30 June 2022, which represents a premium of circa 11 per cent over the closing mid-price on 4 August 2017.

The table below sets out the directors' interest in the Company following this grant of options:-

	Donald Strang	Hamish Harris
Interest over shares	57,058,823 (1.7%)	48,725,490 (1.0%)
Interest over options	150,000,000 (3.1%)	150,000,000 (3.1%)
Fully diluted holding	4.2%	4.0%

The issued share capital of the Company comprises 4,882,924,490 ordinary shares.

A total of 32,650,840 options and nil warrants are outstanding at the date of this notification.

Existing options over 10,000,000 ordinary shares issued to each of Donald Strang and Hamish Harris which vested on 2 April 2015 with an exercise price of 0.22 pence have been cancelled following the award of options noted above.

The grant of the New Options is considered to be a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies.  David Ormerod, non-executive director of the Company who is not interested with the transaction, having consulted with Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, considers that the terms of the New Options are fair and reasonable as far as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
