An application has been made for the 4,558,258 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (“Admission”) with admission expected to become effective on or around 21 October 2025.
Holdings in the Company and PCA Dealing
Of those who have exercised Warrants, Mr Philip Hannigan (a substantial shareholder in Conroy as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies) will be issued 1,000,000 new Ordinary Shares and, as a consequence, is expected to hold 10,058,445 Ordinary Shares representing 13.07% of the enlarged share capital of the Company on Admission.
Furthermore, the Estate of Professor Richard Conroy (the “Estate”) has also exercised warrants over 779,763 Ordinary Shares and as a consequence is expected to hold 5,026,431 Ordinary Shares representing 6.53% of the enlarged share capital of the Company on Admission. In tandem with the exercise of these warrants, an amount of £74,078 is being repaid to the Estate in respect of an outstanding shareholder loan, thereby clearing remaining amounts owing to the Estate not already covered by the arrangements announced by the Company on 28 August 2025 in relation to accrued Directors fees and remuneration.
The exercise of Warrants by the Estate is deemed to be a PCA dealing and the table below provides further details in accordance with the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
Total Voting Rights
On Admission, and for the purposes of the FCA Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company's total issued voting share capital will consist of 76,949,433 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per ordinary share. The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
About the ‘Discs of Gold’ project
Conroy’s ‘Discs of Gold’ project in Ireland is defined by two parallel district scale gold trends, extending over c.90km, which are 100 per cent. held under license by the Company, anchored by the Clontibret gold deposit. The Clontibret target area contains a currently defined 517Koz gold resource @ 2.0 g/t Au (320Koz Au Indicated and 197Koz Au Inferred (2017)) which remains open in multiple directions. The Company has identified a further seven gold targets in its license area with the Clay Lake and Creenkill gold targets being of particular interest. Gold occurs in multiple styles in the Company’s license area, including free gold, refractory gold in arsenopyrite and gold associated with pyrite and antimony (stibnite), suggesting multiple hydrothermal events seeded the deposit. There are clear geological analogies between the “Discs of Gold” targets and large gold deposits in Southeastern Australia and Atlantic Canada.
