RNS Number : 2248J  Red Rock Resources plc  23 October 2024

Red Rock Resources PLC

("Red Rock" or the "Company")

Issue of Shares

 

23 October 2024

 

Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource exploration and development
company with interests in gold, base metals, battery metals, and hydrocarbons
principally in Africa and Australia, announces that it has placed
597,014,925 new ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") by a placing at 0.0335
pence per share raising a total of £200,000 before expenses ("Placing"). CMC
Markets UK Plc, trading as CMC CapX, acted as the Company's placing agent in
respect of the Placing.

 

The Placing proceeds will be applied to year-end accounting costs, acquisition
and transport of gold mining equipment, commencement of gold operations in
West Africa, Australian and Kenyan operational and professional costs, and
other working capital purposes.

 

Red Rock CEO Andrew Bell comments "We continue to focus on final settlement
arrangements in relation to our claims in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
and expect a number of developments, which may favourably impact our financial
prospects.

 

Meanwhile, there is continuing intensive activity as we prepare to start
alluvial gold pre-production and testwork in Burkina Faso, and our Australian
team has to continue its important work as we discuss with potential partners
how to accelerate development there. These strategic activities present
alternative value-generative paths forward, while the outcome in the DRC is
yet to be reached, and upon a successful outcome in the DRC will retain value
as diversifications of risk.

 

This is a high cost time of year with management extremely busy as we focus on
accounting and audit across our asset portfolio. We are grateful for the
support by placees which we believe  enables us to reach some key
announcement milestones."

 

Admission to Trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights

 

Application is being made for 597,014,925 new ordinary shares to be admitted
to trading on AIM, the admission of which it is expected on or around 29
October 2024.

 

In accordance with the provision of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Company confirms that, following
the issue of the Placing Shares, its issued ordinary share capital will
comprise 5,655,797,411 ordinary shares.

 

All of the ordinary shares have equal voting rights and none of the ordinary
shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company
will therefore be 5,655,797,411. The above figure may be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations to determine if they are required to
notify their interests in, or change to their interest in, the Company.
