Arc Minerals Ltd

('Arc Minerals' or the 'Company')

Settlement Agreement Reached with Avanti Gold Corporation and Regency Mining
Ltd

Arc Minerals Ltd is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding
settlement agreement with Avanti Gold Corporation ("Avanti") and Regency
Mining Ltd ("Regency") in relation to USD 1,250,000 owed to Arc (the
"Outstanding Receivable").

 

Background

As set out in the Company's announcement of 29 April 2022, the Outstanding
Receivable arose pursuant to Regency's acquisition of Casa Mining Ltd which
holds a 73.5% interest in the Misisi gold project ("Misisi") in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. The Outstanding Receivable had been due to be settled
through the issuance of shares in Avanti Gold but to date it had not been
satisfied. As previously disclosed, Arc, Avanti and Regency have continually
engaged constructively to resolve the Outstanding Receivable and have now
entered into a new, binding settlement agreement whereby the Outstanding
Receivable will be settled in cash (the "New Settlement Agreement").

Settlement Terms

Under the New Settlement Agreement, Avanti and Regency have jointly and
severally undertaken to settle the total Outstanding Receivable of
US$1,250,000, as follows:

-      Through a cash payment, in full settlement of the Outstanding
Receivable, of a reduced Settlement Sum of:

o  US$562,500 (45%), if paid by 31 August 2025; or

o  US$625,000 (50%), if paid by 31 October 2025; or

o  US$750,000 (60%), if paid by 31 December 2025.

-      If payment hasn't been made by 31 December 2025, the full
Outstanding Amount becomes immediately due and payable in full on 1 January
2026; and

-      From 1 January 2026, any unpaid amounts will accrue compound
interest at a rate of 2% per month, until settled in full.

 

Funds received pursuant to the New Settlement Agreement will be used for
working capital purposes.

 

Cash Position & Outlook

The Company's existing cash resources and future contractual cash place the
Company in a positive cash position into 2026. In addition, Management have
been carefully managing the Company's cash resources since the start of the
year, including cutting fee payments by up to 50% for board and management,
which are expected to remain in place into 2026.

 

Nick von Schirnding, Executive Chairman of Arc Minerals, commented:

 

"I am pleased that we have reached a binding agreement with Avanti and Regency
after a lengthy period of constructive negotiations. Funds from the settlement
will, in addition to existing and future contractual cash, further support the
Company's cash position into 2026, in line with previous guidance."
