Vast Resources plc, the AIM quoted mining company, is pleased to announce that
the Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of the Company will be held at Nettlestead
Place, Maidstone Road, Nettlestead, Kent ME18 5HA at 11:00am on Thursday 12
February 2026. A copy of the Notice of AGM, associated proxy form, and a
letter from the Chairman has been posted to shareholders today, and copies can
be found on the Company's website at www.vastplc.com.

 

The relevant text included in the letter from the Chairman is copied below.

 

Letter from the Chairman of the Company

 

Dear Shareholder

 

The purpose of this letter is to explain the delay in convening the AGM, and
to update you on progress generally.

 

On 22 December 2025, Vast Resources PLC (the "Company") announced the proposed
acquisition of Gulf International Minerals Limited ("Gulf") (the
"Acquisition"), which is a mining and development company focused on mining
deposits in Tajikistan and is party to a joint venture, the Joint
Tajik-Canadian Limited Liability Company, with the Ministry of Industry and
New Technologies in Tajikistan (the "Tajikistan Government") in respect of
four gold mining operations; Aprelevka, Burgunda, Ikkizelon and Kyzylcheku,
together with a central processing plant, located in Northern Tajikistan, and
two tailings facilities; the Kansai Tailings and the Soviet Tailings. The full
text of the announcement can be accessed via the link

(https://irtools.co.uk/99/story/pdf/0d946d1f-28ce-4098-b4e8-8c1a1f5b46c2)

 

Completion of the Acquisition will require approval by the independent
shareholders at a General Meeting of the Company ("GM") at which resolutions
will be proposed which, so far as authorities to issue new ordinary shares of
£0.001 each in the issued share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") is
concerned, will supersede those being proposed at the AGM, as well as
approving the Acquisition and granting a Rule 9 Waiver to the vendors of Gulf,
to waive the obligations of the concert party in relation to the transaction
to make a general offer to all shareholders pursuant to Rule 9 of the City
Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code") that would otherwise arise in
respect of the Acquisition. The notice of this GM will include an AIM
Admission Document and will be sent to the shareholders of the Company as soon
as possible.

 

It was hoped that the AGM and the GM could be held concurrently, but as the
notice periods for the AGM and the GM are not the same, it has been decided
that the AGM should be convened now, with the GM to be convened in due course.
Assuming publication of the AIM Admission Document during the AGM notice
period, the directors will consider adjourning the AGM in order that the
meetings can occur concurrently, which will allow for a more coherent
narrative to be presented.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Brian Moritz

Chairman

20 January 2026
