Offer pursuant to the Capital Raising announced on 15 June
2022.
The Company has received valid acceptances from Qualifying
Shareholders in respect of 39,652,160 Open Offer Units,
representing a take-up of over 69 per cent. of the 57,310,264
available Open Offer Units. Accordingly, the Open Offer has raised
total gross proceeds of approximately US$3.4 million (GBP2.8
million).
Each Open Offer Unit subscribed for comprises one Open Offer
Share and, for every two Open Offer Shares subscribed for, one
Warrant. Accordingly, 39,652,160 Open Offer Shares and 19,825,849
Open Offer Warrants will be issued pursuant to the Open Offer.
As a result, the Company has raised in aggregate gross proceeds
of approximately US$10.4 million (GBP8.5 million) pursuant to the

IMPORTANT NOTICES
The information contained within this announcement is deemed by
the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under
Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (as
amended) as it forms part of the domestic law of the United Kingdom
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended).
Upon the publication of this announcement via the Regulatory
Information Service, this inside information is now considered to
be in the public domain.
This announcement contains (or may contain) certain
forward-looking statements with respect to certain of the Company's
plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future
financial condition and performance and which involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions readers that no
forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and
that actual results could differ materially from those contained in
the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to
historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes
use words such as "aim", "anticipate", "target", "expect",
"estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", or other words of
similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking statements
involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events
and circumstances, including, but not limited to, economic and
business conditions, the effects of continued volatility in credit
markets, market-related risks such as changes in the price of
commodities or changes in interest rates and foreign exchange
rates, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory
authorities, changes in legislation, the further development of
standards and interpretations under International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to past, current and future
periods, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and
application of standards under IFRS, the outcome of pending and
future litigation or regulatory investigations, the success of
future explorations, acquisitions and other strategic transactions
and the impact of competition. A number of these factors are beyond
the Company's control. As a result, the Company's actual future
results may differ materially from the plans, goals, and
expectations set forth in the Company's forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statements made in this announcement by or on
behalf of the Company speak only as of the date they are made.
Except as required by the FCA, the London Stock Exchange or
applicable law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained in this announcement to
reflect any changes in the Company's expectations with regard
thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on
which any such statement is based.
This Announcement is for information purposes only and shall not
constitute an offer to buy, sell, issue, or subscribe for, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, sell, issue, or subscribe for any

sale would be unauthorised or unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a
violation of the securities law of any such jurisdiction.
