NEWS RELEASE | 27 December 2023

 

Permitting update

 

Berkeley Energia Limited ("Berkeley" or the "Company") advises that it has
received formal notifications from the High Court of Justice of Castilla y
León ("TSJ") which uphold the appeals submitted by the appellants to revoke
the first instance judgements related to the Authorization of Exceptional Use
of the Land ("AEUL") and the Urbanism Licence ("UL"), and annules both the
AEUL and UL.

The AEUL and the UL were granted to the Company in July 2017 and August 2020
by the Regional Commission of Environment and Urbanism, and the Municipality
of Retortillo respectively.

As previously disclosed, a non-governmental organisation, Plataforma Stop
Uranio, and the city council of Villavieja de Yeltes ("the appellants")
subsequently filed administrative appeals against the AEUL and the UL at the
first instance courts in Salamanca. The administrative appeals against the
AEUL and UL were dismissed in September 2022 and January 2023 respectively.
One of the appellants subsequently lodged appeals before the TSJ, and the TSJ
has now delivered judgements which revoke the first instance judgements and
declare the AEUL and the UL null.

The Company strongly disagrees with the fundamentals of the TSJ's judgements
and it will submit appeals against the TSJ judgements before the Supreme Court
under Spanish law to defend its position and take all necessary actions to
preserve its rights.

The Company will continue to update the market in relation to this matter as
required.
