NEWS RELEASE I 24 MARCH 2025

 

RESPONSE TO MEDIA SPECULATION

 

Sovereign Metals Limited (ASX:SVM; AIM:SVML; OTCQX: SVMLF) (Sovereign or the
Company) notes today's media speculation including an article in the
Australian Financial Review on Monday 24 March 2025 in respect of a potential
capital raising by the Company.

The Company confirms that it has engaged Petra Capital as Lead Manager and
Sole Bookrunner to raise A$40m via a placement at A$0.85 per share
(Fundraise). Funds raised will be applied to the Kasiya Rutile Graphite
Project's development costs including permitting, studies and other costs and
working capital and offer costs. There can be no certainty that the Fundraise
will complete, nor as to the final structure or terms of any such Fundraise.

The Company's shares on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) will continue
to be in a voluntary trading halt until the earlier of an announcement to the
market regarding the results of the capital raising or the opening of trade on
ASX on Wednesday, 26 March 2025.

Trading in the Company's ordinary securities will continue to trade as normal
on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, during this period.
Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
