Result of Placing and Subscription

Appointment of Joint Broker

Anglesey Mining Plc (AIM:AYM) is pleased to announce that, further to its
announcement of 5.15 p.m. (London time) on 16 May 2022, it has successfully
completed and closed the Placing and Subscription.

 

The Placing and Subscription has raised, in aggregate, gross proceeds of
£864,416. The Placing comprises the placing of 22,829,705 Ordinary Shares
(the "Placing Shares") with certain institutional and other investors at a
price of 3.4 pence per share (the "Issue Price"), thereby raising £776,210
gross proceeds. Concurrent with the Placing, certain Directors of the Company
have agreed to subscribe for an additional 2,594,284 New Ordinary Shares
("Subscription Shares") at the Issue Price, thereby raising further gross
proceeds of £88,206.

 

In aggregate, therefore, 25,423,989 New Ordinary Shares will be issued
pursuant to the Fundraising and a further 6,681,000 New Ordinary Shares (the
Capitalisation Shares") will be issued to Juno Limited pursuant to the Juno
Debt Restructuring.

 

The Fundraising is conditional only on Admission.

 

The net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription will be applied to advancing
the Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au project through additional technical
activities, restructuring the Company's working capital facility with Juno
Limited and for general working capital purposes.

 

Appointment of Joint Broker

The Company also confirms today that it has appointed WH Ireland Limited as
its joint broker with immediate effect.

Each of John Kearney and Jo Battershill participated on the same terms as all

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the
New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will
become effective and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares commence on AIM at
8.00 a.m. on 20 May 2022 (or such later date as may be agreed between the
Company and the Bookrunners, but no later than 24 June 2022).

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued fully paid and will rank pari
passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the
Company in issue will be 280,175,721 with voting rights (assuming issue of the
Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares and, the Capitalisation Shares). This
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's share capital pursuant to (i) the
Company's Articles, (ii) the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules and/or (iii) the AIM Rules for Companies issued by the
London Stock Exchange plc as amended from time to time.

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Company's announcement made at
5.15 p.m. on 16 May 2022, unless the context requires otherwise.

Jo Battershill, CEO, comments: "The completion of the placement and
renegotiation of the Juno working capital facility is an important milestone
for of Anglesey Mining. We are very pleased to welcome new investors onto the
register and see the strong demand as recognition of the potential quality of
the asset base. The placing will provide funds to generate strong news flow
and potentially substantial value creation for Anglesey's shareholders.

 

"The additional funding for Parys Mountain will enable management to commence
important infill drilling of the Northern Copper Zone - an area of significant
interest and potential resource upside - confirmatory metallurgical testwork,
tailings storage design work and the environmental and permitting activities.

 

"We are also very pleased to have renegotiated the working capital facility
with our largest shareholder, Juno. The partial conversion of debt for equity
by way of direct subscription alongside the Placing demonstrates the ongoing
support for which are very thankful."

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained
within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as
amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive
(EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures
(together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming
all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have
been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such
securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors
and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible
counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II
(the "Target Market Assessment").  Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may
decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing
Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment
in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction
with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be
able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market
Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal
or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing.  Furthermore,
it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint
Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional
clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute:
(a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID
II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest
in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the
Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
