Oliver Friesen, CEO of Golden Metal, commented:

"Let me be the first to welcome Mrs. Turkmani to the Golden Metal team. She
brings a wealth of experience and connections within Washington D.C. and the
US Government which will be hugely valuable to Golden Metal as we rapidly push
forward the defense and critical metals strategy of our flagship Pilot
Mountain Project.

"Significant amounts of non-dilutive grant funding have recently been made
available by various US government departments including the Department of
Defense (DOD), Department of Commerce (DOC), Department of Energy (DOE) and
Department of Minerals (DOM) among others. With Mrs. Turkmani now engaged as a
Strategic United States Government Adviser to the Company, we look forward to
rapidly advancing this strategy and communicating to the market the steps
being taken in this regard."

Further Details

Mrs. Turkmani will be paid a fee equivalent to £34,250 per annum and she is
engaged for a 2 year period, with the possibility of extension.  The total
contract value over 2 years is therefore £68,500, to be satisfied through the
issue to Ms. Turkmani of 805,882 new Golden Metal ordinary shares of 1.0p
("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 8.5p per Ordinary Share ("Contract
Shares").

The issue price of the Contract Shares equates to Golden Metal's  share price
on its admission to AIM on 10 May 2023.

Following issue of the Contract Shares, Mrs. Turkmani's total interest in
Golden Metal, including those acquired during the IPO financing by The Mega
Company (which is beneficially owned by Mr Salah Turkmani, the husband of Mrs.
Turkmani), will amount to 3,747,058 representing to 4.41% of the Company's
issued share capital.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made for the 805,882 Contract Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM which is expected to occur on or around 9 June 2023
("Admission"). The Contract Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with
the existing Ordinary Shares currently traded on AIM.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise
85,000,255 Ordinary Shares. This number will represent the total voting
rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for
the calculation by which they can determine if they are required to notify
their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the
Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
