Armadale Capital Plc (‘Armadale’ or ‘the Company’)

Raises £420,000 to advance Mpokoto Gold Project

Armadale, the AIM quoted investment company focused on natural resources projects in Africa, is pleased to announce a conditional placing (‘Placing’) of 14,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company (‘Ordinary Shares’) (the ‘Placing Shares’) at a price of 3p pence per share (the ‘Placing Price’) to raise gross proceeds of £420,000 with institutional and other investors.

Proceeds of the Placing will support the next steps in the development of the Company’s Mpokoto Gold Project in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (‘Mpokoto’ or the ‘Project’), including completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (‘DFS’), continued ground works at the site, as well as providing general working capital. Mpokoto has a current resource of 678,000oz Au at 1.45 g/t gold (‘Au’), and is on track to commence production in 2016, targeting approximately 25,000oz Au per annum over a nine year life of mine. Metallurgical testwork recently completed at the Project as part of the DFS has confirmed the effectiveness of Armadale’s planned low cost two phase processing route, which, due to its module design, is expected to minimise upfront capital expenditure and reduce ongoing operating costs, supporting projected cash costs of US$647/oz.

Peter Marks, Chairman of Armadale, said, “We are pleased to have raised £420,000 as we approach the final phase of our DFS. Having recently completed additional metallurgical testwork, which has confirmed the value of our cost effective processing route, we are now focused on the completion of the DFS. As we look to finalise the DFS, we of course also approach the final hurdle to the conclusion of our financing agreement with A-MCS for up to US$20 million. With this in mind, 2016 should be a historic year for the Company and we look forward to delivering on the major development milestones ahead.”

Admission

The Placing is subject, inter alia, to admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM (‘Admission’), which is expected to occur at 8am on 24 December 2015. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for all of the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have 88,010,533 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company has no shares in treasury, therefore the figure of 88,010,533 should 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 of their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
