ACQUISITION OF OSPREY

Future Metals NL ("Future Metals" or the "Company", ASX | AIM: FME) is pleased
to announce, further to its announcements of 5 October and 6 November 2023,
that it has exercised its option to acquire 100% of Osprey Minerals Pty Ltd
("Osprey").

Osprey shareholders will receive the upfront consideration of, in aggregate,
18,382,352 new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") (the "Consideration Shares") within the next 5 business
days. The Consideration Shares are subject to a 6-month escrow period.

The Company shall pay to Osprey shareholders deferred consideration of
A$325,000 in new Ordinary Shares or cash (at the Company's sole election) six
months from the date of exercise. Once the Company drills 2,000m or more on
the Osprey tenements, an additional A$325,000 in new Ordinary Shares or cash
(at the Company's sole election) will be payable to Osprey shareholders. In
the event the Company elects to pay the deferred consideration in new Ordinary
Shares, it will be priced at the 5-day VWAP at the time of the milestone being
met.

Future Metals' Managing Director, Jardee Kininmonth, commented:

"We are pleased to have closed out this transaction with Osprey and welcome
our new Future Metals' shareholders. The tenements acquired as part of the
transaction are incredibly complementary to our activities at Panton and in
the East Kimberley. The Eileen Bore prospect is an exciting, advanced
exploration target amongst a portfolio of compelling targets throughout the
acquired tenement package, and we look forward to updating the market shortly
on our forward plans for the projects."

 

Admission to trading on AIM and total voting rights

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc for the admission to
trading on AIM of the Consideration Shares, which is expected to take effect
and dealings commence at 8.00 a.m. (GMT) on or around 22 November 2023
("Admission").

The number of Ordinary Shares in issue, and the total voting rights in the
Company, on Admission, will be 440,253,055. This figure may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine
whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of their
interest in, the Company under the provisions of the Company's constitution.

 

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Future Metals
NL.
