("Panther Metals" or the "Company")

(Incorporated and registered in the Isle of Man with company number 009753V)

Flow Through Share Fundraise of £2,220,000 at £2.26 per share to progress Critical Minerals Strategy

Panther Metals (LSE: PALM), the exploration company focused on mineral projects in Canada, is pleased to announce a private placement raising gross proceeds of GBP£2,220,000/CAD$4,158,064 by way of a Canadian flow-through share offering ("Flow-Through Placing"). The Flow-Through Placing is expected to close on or around 16 October 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the Company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.

Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Panther Metals is the first solely UK-listed company to look to execute a Canadian flow-through financing. This is a significant achievement for the Company and opens a new funding gateway where the subscription premium to market available through flow-through capital can benefit both our shareholders and our corporate funding strategy.

Importantly, on closing, this financing will fully fund all our planned exploration requirements for the next 12 months and will complete one of the final requirements on our path towards a CSE listing.

I am incredibly proud of the team for getting this to this stage. We have broken new ground for a UK-listed company and are looking to establish a funding route that we believe can continue to benefit Panther well into the future.

The Company is now in excellent shape to deliver across our asset base. We will have the funding, the projects and the strategy. Our focus now is simple: deliver."

Flow-Through Private Placement

The Company has entered into an agreement with PearTree Securities Inc. ("PearTree") to raise gross proceeds of CAD$4,158,064 (£2,220,000) through the issue of 980,398 units (the "FT Units") at an issue price of CAD$4.24 (£2.26) per FT Unit, to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors. Each FT Unit is comprised of one ordinary share (each an "FT Share") and one-half of one ordinary share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") of the Company, each of which will qualify as a "flow-through share", as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "ITA"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one new ordinary share in the capital of the Company at a price of £2.67 for a period of 36 months following the closing date.

The issue price represents a 24% premium to the last closing price of Panther ordinary shares on the LSE as of 7 October 2026. The Flow-Through Placing will be facilitated by PearTree. SI Capital Limited ("SI") is acting as UK placing agent for the Flow-Through Placing.

On completion of the Flow-Through Placing, pursuant to a block trade agreement between PearTree and SI, SI will facilitate the secondary sale of the FT Units to select UK and US institutional investors by way of a block trade ("UK Block Trade").

The FT Shares will be issued at a premium, as Canadian flow-through shares, and provide tax incentives to those investors for expenditures that qualify as Qualifying Expenses (as defined below).

Background to "flow-though" share placings

The term "flow-through share" is a defined term in the ITA and is not a distinct type of share under corporate law. Flow-through shares refer to the ordinary shares of no par value that will be issued by the Company to investors under an agreement with the investors whereby the Company agrees to incur certain qualifying expenses on its assets in Canada, and to renounce such qualifying expenses, which qualify for tax deductions, to the investors. If the Company and the investors comply with the rules of the ITA, the investors will be entitled to deduct their proportionate share of the amount renounced by the Company in computing their income for Canadian income tax purposes and Quebec income tax purposes, as the case may be, and, as a result, flow-through shares are issued at a higher price. The tax benefits associated with flow-through shares are available only to the initial subscribers thereof (who are Canadian residents) and not to any other person who acquires flow-through shares through the on-sale or transfer of those flow-through shares.

PearTree is a Canadian exempt market dealer and will not receive any fees or commission from the Company for its role with respect to the Flow-Through Placing.

Use of proceeds

The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units to incur exploration expenses that are eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the ITA, which will be eligible for a federal 30% investment tax credit for any eligible individual investors, and for any eligible individual subscriber participating in the Offering who is resident in Ontario or who is otherwise liable to pay tax in Ontario, such individual will be eligible for the 5% Ontario Focused Flow-Through Share Tax Credit under the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario) (the "Qualifying Expenses").

The Flow Through Placing will primarily support the continuation of the Phase 1 diamond drilling programme at the Wishbone VMS Prospect on the Obonga Project, northwest Ontario, Canada into 2027.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units are restricted to the permitted purpose set out above and the proceeds will not be used for working capital purposes.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made for the ordinary shares issued in connection with the Flow-Through Placing to be admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the ordinary shares issued in connection with the Flow-Through Placing will commence, at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 16 October 2026.

The FT Shares will, when issued rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Immediately following Admission, and in accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, the Company's total issued share capital will comprise 12,170,236 Ordinary Shares, each with one vote. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The person responsible for releasing this announcement pursuant to UK MAR is Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
