Result of Open Offer and Total Voting Rights

Horizonte (AIM: HZM, TSX: HZM), announces that it has conditionally raised
total gross proceeds of approximately US$0.22 million (approximately £0.16
million) through the Open Offer which was announced on 23 November 2021.

Result of Open Offer

The Company is pleased to announce that it has received valid acceptances from
Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 2,300,735 Open Offer Shares at a price
of 7.0 pence per share.

The Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange plc for Admission to AIM
and to the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") to list 2,102,209,850 new
Ordinary Shares ("Admission"). The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu
with the existing Ordinary Shares. It is expected that admission to AIM of the
new Ordinary Shares will occur at 8:00 am on or around 22 December 2021 and
admission to the TSX on or around 22 December 2021. The listing on the TSX
will be subject to approval of the TSX (as applicable) and fulfilling all the
requirements of the TSX.

The Equity Fundraise, Strategic Investments and Open Offer remain conditional,
inter alia, upon (i) the resolutions having been passed by shareholders at the
General Meeting to be held today 20 December 2021; (ii) the placing agreement
and agency agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms; and
(iii) Admission having become effective by no later than 22 December 2021. The
Company will announce the results of the General Meeting as soon as
practicable after the meeting concludes.

Total Voting Rights

In accordance with the provision of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules of the FCA ("DTRs"), the Company confirms that, following Admission, its
issued share capital will comprise 3,802,365,590 Ordinary Shares, each of
which carries the right to vote, with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury.
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 under the DTRs.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement
shall have the same meanings as defined in the announcement of the Equity
Fundraising made by the Company on 23 November 2021.
