 Vast Resources plc 
 ("Vast" or the "Company") 
 
 Exercise of Warrants and Issue of Equity 
 
 VAST Resources plc, the AIM-listed mining company with operations in Romania
and Zimbabwe, announces that, pursuant to the subscription agreements entered
into with certain directors, senior executives or consultants of the Company
(the "Managers") on 5 January 2016 (the "Managers' Subscription Agreements"),
WES Capital (Pte) Limited, a company owned by a trust of which Pierre Joubert,
Chief Financial Officer, is a beneficiary, has elected to convert 11,356,077
warrants issued under the initial subscription ("Warrants").  Notice of
exercise of the Warrants was received by VAST on 18 March 2016. 
 
 Under the terms of the financing announced on 6 January 2016, the Managers
may exercise the Warrants by exchanging them for new ordinary shares of 0.1p
each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). The number of new Ordinary Shares to
be issued to the Managers is calculated by dividing the aggregate
Black-Scholes Value of the Warrants (as described below) by the closing bid
price of Ordinary Shares on the trading day two days prior to the date on
which the Warrant exercise notice is received by the Company, being 0.42p.
Accordingly, the Company has today issued 18,518,516 new Ordinary Shares to
the WES Capital (Pte) Ltd. 
 
 No net cash is due to the Company as a result of the exercise of the
Warrants. 
 
 Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc for 18,518,516 new
Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market with admission
expected to occur on or around 30 March 2016 ("Admission"). 
 
 The new Ordinary Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing
Ordinary Shares. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. 2,079,908,596
represents the total number of voting rights in the Company and may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations 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.

 "Black-Scholes Value" means the value of a Warrant calculated using the
Black-Scholes model as developed in 1973 by Fischer Black, Robert Merton and
Myron Scholes, using the Economic Research Institute's Black-Scholes
calculator, where the Volatility shall be 135 per cent., the term of the
Warrants shall be deemed to be 60 months (regardless of the then actual
remaining term of the Warrants), the stock price shall be the subscription
price, which was 0.8 pence, and the option price shall be 130 per cent of the
subscription price.
