Minto Copper Sale Price Secured

London, United Kingdom - Pembridge Resources plc (LSE: PERE) ("Pembridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce news of a secured sale price for the existing copper production of Minto Explorations Ltd. ("Minto")

As at 1 March 2021, Minto had in stock 7,927 dry MT of concentrate produced since the last shipment to Sumitomo with a copper content of 2,780 MT.  In view of the current copper price, Minto has taken the opportunity to lock in a sale price of $4.07 per pound on 2,501 metric tonnes of copper, representing 90% of the current copper quantities in stock.  The remaining 10% of the stock will be priced after delivery to Sumitomo in accordance with the pricing terms set out in the Offtake Agreement between Minto and Sumitomo.

Gati Al-Jebouri, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Pembridge said:

"The copper price has performed well recently and, although it may continue to rise further, Minto has taken the decision to fix 90% of the revenue from the produced to 1 March copper.  This will ensure that we limit the cash flow risks of the business and also benefit from receiving the funds arising from the copper price increase now instead of in Q3 2021 at the 3MAMA fixing date."
