SUNRISE RESOURCES PLC
("Sunrise" or the "Company")
Placing to Raise £225,000
Director/PDMR Holdings
Issue of Equity and TVR
Sunrise Resources plc (AIM: SRES), wishes to announce that it has conditionally raised £225,000 before expenses ("the Placing") through the issue of 900,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of 0.001p each (the "Placing Shares") at the price of 0.025 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Price is equal to the market closing bid price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on 10 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement). The Placing was arranged through the Company's broker, AlbR Capital Limited ("AlbR").
The Board values its retail investor base and is also conscious of the need to provide existing shareholders with the opportunity to participate in any capital raise being undertaken by the Company, where practically and commercially feasible. With this in mind, should any existing shareholder wish to subscribe for new Ordinary shares on the same terms as the Placing, they should contact the Company before 2.00pm on Wednesday 15 April 2026 at Tel: 01625 838 884, or by email to: info@sunriseresourcesplc.com. If there is sufficient additional demand, the Company will consider, but is not obligated, to initiate a retail offer of new Ordinary Shares on the same terms as the Placing through a shareholder retail access platform.
The Placing
Mr Patrick Cheetham, Executive Chairman of the Company, and Mr Adam Hainsworth, a non-executive director of the Company, have each subscribed £50,000 for 200,000,000 Placing Shares as part of the Placing at the Placing Price. Mr Cheetham's and Mr Hainsworth's participation in the Placing constitute related party transactions under AIM Rule 13. The independent director of the Company (being Mr James Cole), having consulted with Beaumont Cornish Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, considers that the terms of their participation in the Placing are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Additional Shares
The Company also proposes to issue 468,860,760 new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price (the "Additional Shares") to settle a number of longer term creditors. This includes 96,256,760 new Ordinary Shares to be issued to past and present directors in settlement of a portion of fees owing for the periods November 2023 to March 2024 and April 2025 to December 2025. The issue of shares to settle Directors fees is proposed pursuant to terms first agreed on 20 August 2008, and in order for the Company to preserve cash for its project activities. It also includes 336,604,000 new Ordinary Shares being issued to Tertiary Minerals plc ("Tertiary") in partial settlement of invoices issued by Tertiary to the Company in respect of management fees. Tertiary provides management services to the Company at cost. Mr Cheetham is also Chairman of Tertiary Minerals plc. Following Admission, Tertiary will hold 358,558,787 Ordinary Shares or 3.91% of the enlarged issued share capital.
The following table shows the number of new Ordinary Shares issued to the current directors and their total beneficial holding in the Company following Admission of the Placing Shares and the Additional Shares.

Under the terms of its engagement dated 1 October 2025, AlbR will be issued with 25,000,000 warrants in connection with the Placing, each warrant entitling the holder to apply for one new Ordinary Share at the Placing Price at any time within 12 months from the date of Admission.
Use of Proceeds
The net funds raised will be applied to general working capital and to support the Company's plans for advancement of the Company's mineral projects.
Admission
The issue of the Placing Shares and the Additional Shares is conditional only on Admission. Application is being made for the Placing Shares and the Additional Shares, which will rank pari passu with all existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM and Admission is expected to occur on or around 17 April 2026.
Total Voting Rights
For the purposes of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Board of Sunrise hereby notifies the market that further to Admission of the Placing Shares, and the Additional Shares the Company's issued share capital will consist of 9,181,262,596 Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of 0.001p each, with voting rights ("Ordinary Shares"). The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 9,181,262,596. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as denominator for the calculations by which they may 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
