BookBuild Retail Offer

The Board of Blencowe Resources PLC is pleased to announce a retail offer via BookBuild (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of ORD 0.5P each in the capital of the Company (the "Retail Offer Shares") up to the value of £195,000 at an issue price of 4 pence per New Ordinary Share (as defined below) (the "Issue Price").

This Retail Offer follows a recent successful fundraise of £1.5 million, as announced separately. The proceeds from the Retail Offer and the earlier fundraise will support the completion of a 6,000m drilling programme and the advancement of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Orom-Cross Graphite Project in Uganda, as well as provide general working capital. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.

Executive Chairman, Cameron Pearce, commented:

"We are pleased to offer retail investors the opportunity to participate in Blencowe's growth journey at an attractive 4p entry price, aligned with the discount to recent trading levels from our recently announced fundraise. This Retail Offer, combined with the successful £1.5 million fundraise, July Fee Shares and Subscription Shares, and the remaining DFC Grant, will enable us to close the remaining financing gap and be well-capitalised to complete the Orom-Cross DFS."

"We believe this support and overdue clarity on DFS financing will lead to a significant uplift in project value as we move through the final stages of the study. Orom-Cross is strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for graphite in the energy transition, and completing the DFS will put Blencowe in an excellent position to deliver substantial long-term value for our shareholders."

Retail Offer Overview

In addition to the Retail Offer, the Company is also conducting a placing of new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares" and together with the Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") at the Issue Price (the "Placing" and together with the Retail Offer, the "Issue"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.

The Retail Offer is conditional on the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer being listed on the Equity Shares (Transition) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). Admission of the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Retail Offer is expected to take place at 8.00am on 12/11/2024. Completion of the Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the Placing.
