LONDON, United Kingdom, 04 June, 2026 / Newsfile / Meridian Mining plc (LSE:MNO) (TSX: MNO), (OTCQX: MRRDF) (Frankfurt/Tradegate: N2E0) ("Meridian" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that due to its inclusion in the FTSE Index series, it will transition trading of the Company's shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange's SETSqx (Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service: Quotes and Crosses) to SETS (Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service), effective 05 June 2026 in preparation for the Company's inclusion in the FTSE Small Cap Index expected to take place from 22 June 2026. The move will provide investors with access to the Company's shares via SETS, providing liquidity via traditional order book trades, as well as from two-way quotes from market makers.

Meridian is a resource development and exploration company focused on gold-copper projects in Brazil and is headquartered in London, UK. The primary focus of the Company is the development of the advanced stage Cabaçal gold-copper project ("Cabaçal") located in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Within the wider Cabaçal Belt, the Company is also developing a hub and spoke strategy. The next stage of this hub and spoke strategy is resource definition at the Company's high-grade Santa Helena Central Gold-Copper-Silver & Zinc-Lead project, which is expected to be followed by regional scale exploration across the Cabaçal Belt, exploration at the Aguapei gold prospect and exploration in the Jauru & Araputanga Greenstone belts.

Gilbert Clark, CEO, comments: "The inclusion in the FTSE Index series is the first step in our Index inclusion strategy, and was a key rationale for our LSE Mainboard listing. We look forward to continuing to grow the Company and will target inclusion in other indices alongside the advancement of the Cabaçal Project towards Final Investment Decision and on to first production."
