Further to the approval of Resolution 2 at the AGM, the Company is proceeding
with the issue of the Second Fundraising Shares pursuant to the terms of the
Fundraising, full details of which were announced on 26 October 2021.
Accordingly, application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for
admission of the 5,434,676 Second Fundraising Shares to trading on AIM

It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the
Second Fundraising Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2021.
Following Admission, the Company's total issued ordinary share capital will
comprise 79,130,649 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. 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 the Company's
Constitution.
Further to the approval of Resolution 3 at the AGM, the Company will shortly
proceed to issue 1,500,000 adviser options to Bennelong Corporate Limited on
