Total Voting Rights

 

Wishbone Gold Plc (AIM: WSBN, AQSE: WSBN), is pleased to announce that
following the recent and continued drill success at our Red Setter gold/copper
project in WA and at Halo in QLD Australia, we plan to expand these programs.

Accordingly, we have raised additional funding to cover this expansion, which
will be delineated in subsequent announcements.

Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's Chairman, commented, "We are gaining a much
greater understanding of the mineralised formations at Red Setter with each
hole we drill there. Drawing on knowledge from other proximate drilling
campaigns in the Patterson Ranges, we are now expanding our exploration
efforts in the coming weeks and this funding is to cover this. We also have
had very encouraging results at Halo in Queensland. This placing significantly
boosts the Company's balance sheet and allows us to bring in expanded drill
programmes at Red Setter and funds a soon to commence drilling programme at
our Cottesloe project to the south of Red Setter."

Equity Raise:

 

Wishbone is issuing a total of 22,946,860 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence
each (the "Ordinary Shares") at a price of 10.35 pence per share through a
private placement brokered by Clear Capital Markets Ltd ("the Placing") to
raise a total of £2.375m gross. The net proceeds will provide additional
working capital for the Company for its expanded exploration program.

Pursuant to the Placing, the Company will also grant Investors a warrant to
subscribe 1 New Ordinary Share in the capital of the Company for every two
shares subscribed in the placing exercisable for a period of two (2) years
from Admission of the Placing shares at a price of 20 pence per ordinary
share.

The warrants have an accelerator clause whereby in the event that the ordinary
shares of the Company close above 20 pence per share for 5 trading days during
any ten day trading period then the Company has the right to require warrant
holders to exercise all warrants held by them within 7 days. Any warrants not
exercised when so required by the Company will automatically expire at the end
of the 7 day period.

The Company has also issued broker warrants to Clear Capital Markets Ltd for
1,147,343 shares at a price of 10.35p per share exercisable for a period of
two (2) years from Admission of the Placing shares.

Application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari
passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on
AIM and the AQSE Growth Market ("Admission"). Dealings are expected to
commence on or about 12 September 2022 and the issue is subject only to
Admission.

The Company's total issued and voting share capital upon admission of the new
Ordinary Shares will consist of 196,742,073 Ordinary Shares. This figure may
be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
to their interest in, securities of the Company.
