Acquisition of Bitcoin and Strategic Partnership with Archax

 

Hamak Gold Limited (LSE: HAMA) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 20
Bitcoin as part of its broader capital allocation and treasury management
strategy. This move marks the Company's first foray into digital asset
investment and reflects a proactive approach to value creation and balance
sheet optimisation.

To facilitate this strategy, Hamak Gold has partnered with Archax, the first
FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, which will also
support the Company's Bitcoin Treasury Strategy.

Highlights

·    Number of Bitcoin Purchased: 20 Bitcoin

·    Average purchase price: £88,569 per Bitcoin

·    Total amount purchased: £1,771,380

·    Strategic partnership with Archax

The Company believes that holding both physical gold assets and digital assets
such as Bitcoin offers a strong differentiation in the junior resources
sector, providing a blend of traditionally defensive and digitally disruptive
exposure. This hybrid strategy is intended to deliver low correlation to
conventional equity market cycles while offering potential upside from
long-term structural trends.

The initiative forms part of a more comprehensive treasury framework designed
to incorporate strategic reserves, liquidity tools, and non-dilutive value
protection mechanisms for shareholders.

Nick Thurlow, Executive Chairman of Hamak Gold Ltd, commented:

"We are pleased to be delivering on the initial plan we announced to the
market just a few weeks ago.  We're excited to partner with Archax, the
premier UK-regulated crypto trading and custody firm. We will also continue to
strengthen our team through making further high-level appointments that will
bring the necessary expertise for us to execute our corporate strategy and
further enhance shareholder value."

Graham Rodford, CEO and Co-Founder of Archax, commented:

"We are pleased to be supporting Hamak Gold in their new strategic direction
and digital asset activities. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million units is
often cited as a distinguishing feature by market participants seeking
alternatives to inflation-prone fiat currencies-complementing gold's
long-standing role as a store of value. At Archax, we remain focused on
enabling institutional access to both traditional and digital asset markets
through regulated, infrastructure-grade solutions."
