Caracal Gold Plc

('Caracal' or the 'Company')

Subscription to raise £780,000

Caracal Gold PLC, the expanding East African gold producer with over
1,300,000oz JORC compliant gold resources is pleased to announce the following
funding update.

Subscription:

The Company has raised £780,000 by way of a Subscription ("Subscription"),
through the issue of 260,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of £0.001 in the Company
("Subscription Shares") at a price of £0.003 per Subscription Share.

The funds of the subscription will be paid in five equal instalments of
£156,000 and the Company will issue 260,000,000 new Ordinary Shares upon
completion of the final instalment.

 Instalments        Amount        Date of instalment
 First instalment   £156,000.00   25 March 2024
 Second instalment  £156,000.00   28 March 2024
 Third instalment   £156,000.00   5 April 2024
 Fourth instalment  £156,000.00   9 April 2024
 Fifth instalment   £156,000.00   12 April 2024

 

The subscribers from the Subscription will be issued with one warrant
("Warrants") for every new Subscription Share subscribed for, with an exercise
price of £0.0042 per Warrant. The Warrants will expire in three years from
Admission of the Subscription Shares to trading.

The funds will be used for working capital by the Company and its
subsidiaries.

The admission of the Subscription Shares to trading is conditional upon
approval of a prospectus by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA").  Caracal
continues to progress the prospectus through the FCA. To finalize the
prospectus will require the publication of the audited accounts of the Company
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and the unaudited interim results for the six
months ended 31 December 2023.  Good progress is being made on the audit
which, when complete, will enable the Company to finalize the interim results.

Related Party Transaction:

The investor was introduced by Mr. Stefan Muller who is a Non-Executive
Director of the Company. Mr. Muller's company Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Wertpapieranalyse GmbH ("DGWA") will be paid a commission of 6% of the gross
proceeds of the Subscription (the "Commission"). The Board of Directors of the
Company which were not involved in the Subscription considered the terms of
the Commission fair and reasonable in so far as the shareholders are
concerned.

Status of the Subscription Shares and Total Voting Rights:

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

Following issuance of the Subscription Shares the total number of ordinary
shares with voting rights in issue in the Company will be 2,483,245,258.

The above 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 under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Notes:

Caracal Gold plc is an expanding East African focused gold producer with a
clear path to grow production and resources both organically and through
strategic acquisitions. Its aim is to rapidly increase production to
+50,000ozs p.a. and build a JORC compliant resource base of +3Moz. The Company
is progressing a well-defined mine optimisation strategy at its 100% owned
Kilimapesa Gold Mine in Kenya, where there is significant mid-term expansion
potential and the ability to increase gold production to 24,000oz p.a. and the
resource to +2Moz (current JORC compliant resources of approx. 706,000oz).
Alongside this, Caracal is undertaking a targeted exploration programme at the
Nyakafuru Project in Tanzania, which has an established high-grade shallow
gold resource of 658,751oz at 2.08g/t contained within four deposits over 280
km2 and appears amenable to development as a large scale conventional open pit
operation.

Caracal's experienced team has a proven track record in successfully
developing and operating mining projects throughout Africa.

The Company is a responsible mining and exploration company and supports the
positive social and economic change that it contributes to the communities in
the regions that it operates. It is a proudly East African-focused company: it
buys locally, employs locally, and protects the environment and its employees
and their families' health, safety, and wellbeing.
