Tower Resources plc
("Tower" or the "Company")
Issue of Warrants to Directors
Tower Resources plc (the "Company" or "Tower" (TRP.L, TRP LN)),
the AIM listed oil and gas company with its focus on Africa,
announces the following issue of warrants to Directors and a
consultant to the Company in lieu of fees.
Warrants are being issued in lieu of GBP30,000 (in aggregate) of
Directors fees to Paula Brancato and Mark Enfield (Non-Executive
Directors), and Jeremy Asher (as Chairman) in settlement of fees
due for the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2023, to conserve
the Company's working capital. The issue of warrants in lieu of
fees usually takes place at the beginning of each calendar quarter,
but at the end of March 2023 the usual issue was deferred due to a
MAR restricted period.
The warrants are exercisable at a strike price of 0.1425 pence
("Warrants"), which is a premium of 24% to the mid-point closing
share price on 28 April 2023. The exercise price of 0.1425 pence
was also the mid-point closing price on 31 March 2023. The Warrants
are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of issue and
those being issued are detailed below:

*Warrants are held at different prices.
As previously announced, the Directors will consider issuing
further warrants in lieu of fees for each calendar quarter based on
the closing price of the shares and the warrant valuation on the
last day of the previous quarter and will make an election and
announce the issue of warrants (if so elected) at the earliest
opportunity in each calendar quarter. This election will be made by
the Board with each Director taking into consideration the working
capital position of the Company.
The Company also announces the issue of 8,610,792 warrants, on
the same terms as the Warrants issued to Directors, to Mr Duncan
Rushworth, a consultant to the Company, in lieu of fees for his
work for the Company during the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June
2023.
Warrants in issue
Following the above issue of Warrants, and the retirement of
2,083,333 warrants which have expired since 30 March 2023, the
total number of Warrants in issue is 530,696,264 equating to 11.1%
of the Company's enlarged share capital assuming full exercise of
all warrants and share options.
