As previously announced, the Placing and Subscription will be undertaken in two tranches. A total of 133,817,678 First Tranche New Shares (comprising: 34,722,222 First Tranche VBR Subscription Shares; 97,742,899 First Tranche Placing Shares; and 1,352,557 First Tranche Director Participation Shares) will be issued on First Admission (which, subject to TSXV Conditional Approval) is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 6 February 2025 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners).

All Retail Offer Shares and NWF Subscription Shares will be issued in the second tranche of the Fundraising. Consequently a total of 583,325,689 Second Tranche New Shares (comprising: 17,143,367 Retail Offer Shares; 356,911,283 NWF Subscription Shares; 191,320,934 Second Tranche VBR Subscription Shares; 17,705,101 Second Tranche Placing Shares; and 245,004 Director Participation Shares) are expected to be issued on Second Admission (which, subject to TSXV Conditional Approval and the passing of the shareholder resolutions referred to below) is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 24 March 2025 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners). The aggregate value of the NWF Subscription Shares to be issued to NWF on Second Admission will be £28,552,903 (equivalent to C$51,032,603, using an exchange rate of £1:C$1.7873, based on the Bank of Canada closing exchange rate on 24 January 2025).

Completion of the Retail Offer (and the issue of the other Second Tranche New Shares) is conditional, inter alia, upon approval of the Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held on or about 18 March 2025, the Placing becoming unconditional, the NWF Subscription becoming unconditional, the VBR Subscription becoming unconditional and on Admission of the Second Tranche New Shares.

The New Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Common Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

The total number of Common Shares of the Company in issue on First Admission will be 669,088,390. The total number of voting rights in the Company as at First Admission will therefore be 669,088,390 ("Total Voting Rights"). The Total Voting Rights 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 and Transparency Rules. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

On Second Admission, it is expected that Vision Blue Resources Limited will hold 29.14% of the Total Voting Rights and the National Wealth Fund Limited will hold 28.50% of the Total Voting Rights.

The Company's LEI is 8945007GJ5APA9YDN221.
