Issue of Shares to L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund and Total Voting Rights

PYX Resources Ltd ("PYX" or the "Company") (NSX: PYX | LSE: PYX), the second largest publicly listed zircon producing mining company globally by zircon resources, advises that an Application for Quotation of Additional Securities has been issued on the NSX.

In March 2022, PYX received an initial investment of US$4.5 million from a US Institutional Investor, L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund ("Investor"), for US$5 million worth of PYX shares ("Subscription Amount") via a share placement ("Share Placement"), as announced on 11 March 2022.

Since the initial investment PYX has received two Subscription Notices from the Investor in accordance with the Share Placement. The first subscription notice, received in July 2022, was for US$550,000. For details of the subscription notice and the associated share issue, see the Company's announcement dated 7 July 2022.

PYX has now received a second subscription notice from the Investor totalling US$500k in shares. As such, the Company has issued and allotted 1,061,693 ordinary shares of no par value. The price of the shares in connection with the second subscription notice has been calculated at 95% of the average of 3 daily VWAPs over the 15 trading days prior to the share issuance date, as per the Share Subscription Agreement.

Following the second subscription notice, there is US$3.95 million of available Subscription Amount remaining.

The funds enable PYX to accelerate its previously announced plans to grow its production volume at its Mandiri deposit and to start planning operations at the Tisma deposit. Funds will be used for capital expenditure and working capital purposes.

A full PDF version of the Application for Quotation of Additional Securities is available from the NSX website ( https://pyxresources.com/investors-nsx-announcements/ )

Application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, and admission is expected to occur at 8:00 a.m. on or around 12 October 2022. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 438,618,177 Ordinary Shares, no Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 438,618,177.

The above figure of 438,618,177 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
