Petrel Resources plc
("Petrel" or "the Company")
 
Placing to raise £400,000
 
The Directors of Petrel (AIM: PET) are pleased to announce that the Company has raised £400,000 (before expenses) via the placing of 21,621,622 ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") with new investors at a price of 1.85p per Placing Share (the "Placing").  The Placing Shares represent approximately 20.68% of the Company's issued share capital, as enlarged by the Placing.
 
The net proceeds of the Placing will fund any costs associated with the ongoing negotiations regarding the Company's Ghanaian assets and will also provide the Company with additional working capital, as the Company's board continues to assess new projects.
 
The Placing shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares of €0.125 each (the "Ordinary Shares").  Application will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that such Admission will become effective on or around 11th October 2018.
 
Following the Admission of the Placing Shares, there will be a total of 104,557,246 Ordinary Shares in issue with each share carrying the right of one vote.  The above 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 change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
 
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014.
