Notice of AGM

&

Directorate Change

East Star Resources Plc (LSE:EST), the Kazakhstan focused copper exploration and resource development company, has sent a notice to shareholders convening an Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company (the "Notice") to be held at the offices of Hill Dickinson LLP, 105 Jermyn Street, St James's, London, SW1Y 6EE on 26 June 2024 at 11.00 a.m. The Notice is available on the Company's website at www.eaststarplc.com.

David Minchin, a non-executive director of the Company, has decided not to stand for re-election at the AGM due to his other business commitments and accordingly will retire as a director of the Company with effect from the AGM. East Star wishes to thank Mr Minchin for his valuable contribution over the last two years as the Company has listed on the London Stock Exchange and has made significant progress as a copper explorer in Kazakhstan and we wish Mr Minchin all the best in his future endeavours.

Alex Walker, CEO, commented:

"David's input and guidance since before East Star listed on 10 January 2022 has been invaluable. He is a strategic thinker with a sensible approach to exploration and company management. Having added Chris van Wijk to the Board as Technical Director, we have the geological pedigree to support our copper exploration focus going forward and so the timing of moving back to a four-person Board is appropriate for East Star. I wish David luck with his other endeavours and am sure we'll maintain a regular dialogue as we move forward."
