Oversubscribed Placing, Issue of Equity & TVR

 

 

Galileo Resources Plc is pleased to announce an oversubscribed fundraising for
£1,700,000 at a price of 0.80 pence per Ordinary Share (The "Fundraising
Price") for the advancement of its copper projects and for general working
capital requirements.

 

In a show of support to Galileo, certain consultants have decided to be
settled in shares and the Company will be issuing new ordinary shares to
certain consultants to settle accrued fees to them ("Consultant Shares") at
the Fundraising Price.

 

Colin Bird Chairman & CEO said:

"The board undertook the fundraising in order to maintain the momentum on its
broad copper portfolio based in Southern Africa and the USA. The fundamentals
for copper are becoming stronger as I have predicted for a number of years,
driven by increased demand and the absence of new supply. Southern Africa and
in particular Zambia is a fertile exploration domain and the Company has
significant positions in a number of areas including Zambia and Botswana,
notwithstanding the potential of the Ferber Project in Nevada, USA. The market
appears to support this prognosis based on the strong support for this
placing. The industry is showing significant interest in the various projects
in our portfolio and we will keep the market advised."

 

 

Fundraising:

 

The Company has raised £1,700,000 before expenses (the "Fundraising") at the
Fundraising Price through the issue of 212,500,000 new Ordinary Shares (the
"Fundraising Shares") conditional only upon admission of the Fundraising
Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Fundraising comprises a placing of
187,500,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") for £1,500,000 at the
Fundraising Price (the "Placing"), via Shard Capital Partners LLP and share
subscriptions for 25,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Fundraising Price to
raise £200,000 (the "Subscription Shares").

 

Use of Proceeds

 

The net proceeds from the Placing will be principally utilised by the Company
to advance its copper projects in Southern Africa and the Ferber Project in
the USA (as further detailed in the Appendix below) and to provide the Company
with additional working capital for ongoing corporate costs and to assess new
business opportunities as they arise.

 

 

 

Further Details on the Fundraising:

 

Pursuant to the Fundraising, in aggregate, 212,500,000 Fundraising Shares will
be issued at the Fundraising Price to certain existing shareholders and new
investors conditional upon Admission.  The Fundraising Price represents a
discount of 18.75 per cent. to the closing middle market price of an Ordinary
Share of 0.95 pence on 16 September 2025, being the latest practicable date
prior to this announcement.  Each participant in the Fundraising will also
receive one (1) warrant exercisable at 1.60 pence per ordinary share for two
years from Admission for each Fundraising Share issued. The Company is also
issuing a warrant to Shard Capital Partners LLP to subscribe for a total of
9,375,000 new Ordinary Shares exercisable at the Fundraising Price for a
period of two years from Admission ("Broker Warrants").

 

The Fundraising Shares represent, in aggregate, approximately 15.38 per cent.
of the Company's enlarged issued share capital. The Fundraising Shares will be
fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing
Ordinary Shares.

 

Consultant Shares

 

The Board have agreed that the Consultant Shares will comprise 6,000,000 new
Ordinary Shares that will be issued to settle £48,000 of fees due to
consultants to be issued at the Fundraising Price.

 

Application to trading on AIM:

 

The Fundraising is conditional only on Admission.  Application will be made
to the London Stock Exchange for the 212,500,000 Fundraising Shares and
6,000,000 Consultant Shares (the "New Shares") to be admitted to trading on
AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in
the Placing Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on  24 September 2025.

 

Total Voting Rights after Fundraising:

 

Following the issue of the New Shares the Company's total issued share capital
will consist of 1,381,688,453 Ordinary Shares with voting rights.  The
Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and accordingly there
are no voting rights in respect of any treasury shares.

 

On Admission, the abovementioned figure of 1,381,688,453 Ordinary Shares may
be used by shareholders in the Company 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, Galileo under the Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
