Notes to Editors

Strategic Minerals plc is an AIM-quoted, profitable operating minerals company
actively developing projects tailored to materials expected to benefit from
strong demand in the future. It has an operation in the United States of
America along with development projects in the UK and Australia. The Company
is focused on utilising its operating cash flows, along with capital raisings,
to develop high quality projects aimed at supplying the metals and minerals
likely to be highly demanded in the future.

In September 2011, Strategic Minerals acquired the distribution rights to the
Cobre magnetite tailings dam project in New Mexico, USA, a cash-generating
asset, which it brought into production in 2012 and which continues to
provide a revenue stream for the Company. This operating revenue stream is
utilised to cover company overheads and invest in development projects aimed
at supplying the metals and minerals likely to be highly demanded in the
future.

In May 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with New Age Exploration
Limited and, in February 2017, acquired 50% of the Redmoor Tin/Tungsten
project in Cornwall, UK. The bulk of the funds from the Company's investment
were utilised to complete a drilling programme that year. The drilling
programme resulted in a significant upgrade of the resource. This was followed
in 2018 with a 12-hole drilling programme and the resource update that
resulted was announced in February 2019. In March 2019, the Company entered
into arrangements to acquire the balance of the Redmoor Tin/Tungsten project
which was settled on 24 July 2019 by way of a vendor loan which was fully
repaid on 26 June 2020.

In March 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of the Leigh Creek Copper
Mine situated in the copper rich belt of South Austra lia and brought the
project temporarily into production in April 2019. The project has been
granted a conditional approval by the South Australian Government for
a Program for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) in relation
to mining of its Paltridge North deposit and processing at the Mountain of
Light installation.
