Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the first listed UK company focused on creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals, is pleased to announce that it has raised a total of approximately £400,000 gross through the issue of 32,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Subscription Shares") to a new institutional shareholder at a subscription price of 1.25 pence per share, which will represent approximately 2.45% per cent of the Company's enlarged issued share capital on Admission.

Additionally, the Company has issued 1,100,000 ordinary shares in lieu of payment to a supplier at a subscription price of 1.89 pence per share , which will represent approximately 0.08% per cent of the Company's enlarged issued share capital on Admission.

The Company intends to use the proceeds primarily to fund the ramping up of the first phase of operations at the Tipton lead-acid battery recycling plant and prepare to commence industrial-scale processing through an automated plant following approval from the Environmental Agency.

Application will be made for the 33,100,000 new ordinary shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company, to be admitted to the Standard List segment of Official List and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange plc, which is expected to occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 9 November 2022 ("Admission"). Upon Admission, the total number of issued shares and the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 1,304,523,593.

Alex Stanbury, CEO of Technology Minerals, said:  "This subscription represents a vote of confidence in our twin-track strategy and the management team. The funds will enable us to scale our operations at the Tipton plant and commence generating meaningful cash flow. It will also help as we lay the groundwork to commence automated production, pending approval from the Environmental Agency ."
