Further to the announcement made by Arc Minerals on 18 March 2020 to sell Arc's entire 99.43% interest in Casa Mining Limited ("Casa") to Golden Square Equity Partners Limited ("Golden Square") for a consideration of up to $50m, Arc wishes to inform shareholders that it has been informed by Golden Square that Golden Square has been approached by a third party interested buyer. Any such transaction requires the consent of Arc Minerals. Arc Minerals is reviewing the proposed transaction, which potentially looks attractive, and will update the market in due course.

The Company also announces that the US$5m consideration due to Arc Minerals in the form of a loan note resulting from the sale of its interest in Casa, which had been due to mature on 19 March 2021, has been extended for a further 120 days to 16 July 2021.
