Update on DRC proceedings

Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource exploration and development company with interests in gold, base metals, battery metals, and hydrocarbons principally in Africa and Australia announces an update on the Company's arbitration proceedings in the DRC further to its announcement of 29 January 2025.

Despite the invasion of the east of the country by Rwandan-backed forces, and the demonstrations that followed but proved difficult to control, the Company has minimised the delay to its schedule and continues on the same course and with the same expectations.

The Company is pursuing the finalisation of this matter and looks forward to an early announcement in this regard.

Red Rock Chairman Andrew Bell comments: "Inevitably the invasion in the east of the country has been a distraction and caused delay, including days when offices were shut and flights cancelled. By maintaining constant high level pressure throughout the last month we have been able to continue the process. I myself have made three visits to Kinshasa in the last month and spend most of my time there, but we are also well served by our local partners who are working full-time on our behalf.

Sometimes process cannot be hurried, but equally process is finite in its scope and generally predictable in its outcomes. While it is understood that investors will have concerns, we reiterate the guidance previously given that a conclusion is expected imminently."
