("AfriTin" or the "Company")

 Proposed fundraise of approximately US$17.5 million

AfriTin Mining Limited (AIM: ATM), an African tech-metals mining company with a portfolio of mining and exploration assets in Namibia, announces further to the announcement of the proposed funding package and production update earlier today, a proposed issuance of new Ordinary Shares ("New Ordinary Shares") at a price of 5p per New Ordinary Share (the "Placing Price") to raise gross proceeds of approximately US$17.5 million (approximately £15.0m), comprising (i) a US$7.5 million (approximately £6.4m) placing (the "Placing") of New Ordinary Shares to new and existing institutional investors (the "Placing Shares") and (ii) a US$10 million (approximately £8.5m) subscription for New Ordinary Shares by cornerstone investor The Orange Trust, an existing 5.78% shareholder, (the "Subscription Shares") (together "the Fundraising").

Summary

The Placing Shares are being offered by way of an accelerated bookbuild in the UK, US, Australia, South Africa and EEA (the "Bookbuild") which will be launched immediately following this announcement and will be made available to eligible institutional investors on the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement. The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 8.00 a.m. on 16 September 2022. However, the Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right to close the Bookbuild earlier or later, without further notice. The number of Placing Shares are at the discretion of the Company and allocations are at the discretion of the Company, Hannam & Partners Advisory Limited ("H&P") and Stifel Nicolaus Europe Ltd ("Stifel") (H&P and Stifel together, the "Joint Bookrunners"), and a further announcement confirming these details will be made in due course. None of the Placing Shares are being offered or sold in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 21 September 2022 (or such date as may be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners, being no later than 30 September 2022). Application will also be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Subscription Admission"). It is expected that the Subscription Admission will occur on or around 29 September 2022. The Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, execution of The Orange Trust subscription and Admission becoming effective. The Placing is also conditional on the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms prior to Admission. The Placing is not conditional upon the Orange Trust Subscription completing.  The Orange Trust Subscription is conditional on the Placing becoming unconditional (other than any condition relating to The Orange Trust subscription) and not being terminated. The Placing is not conditional upon the Orion Financing ("Orion Financing") or the DBN Debt Financing (both as defined in the announcement of the Proposed Funding Package and Production Update release immediately prior to this announcement ("Funding Package Announcement").

Placing and Subscription Highlights

·     The Company intends to raise approximately US$17.5m (approximately £15.0 million) before expenses through (i) the Placing arranged by the Joint Bookrunners and (ii) the issue of approximately 173,320,000 Subscription Shares.

·     Placing to be conducted via an accelerated bookbuild process launching immediately.

·     Anthony Viljoen, a director and CEO, and Michael Rawlinson, Non-Executive Director intend to participate in the Fundraising for, in aggregate, approximately £230,000 following the publication of this announcement.

·     The net proceeds of the Fundraising will be used:

o  To accelerate the work programme detailed in the announcement made immediately prior to this announcement (and that announcement should be read in full in connection with the use of proceeds);

o  To expedite the development of lithium and tantalum pilot plants - a significant step towards securing long-term lithium and tantalum off-takes;

o  To expedite the development of X-ray computer tomography ("XRT") ore sorting at Uis and to enhance the grade into the concentrating circuit; and

o  For general working capital purposes.

The Wider Proposed Funding Package

As announced earlier today, the net proceeds of the Fundraising, together with the Company's cash at hand, will be the funds the Company utilises to begin the initial work programme outlined in the Funding Package Announcement.  However, as set out in the Funding Package Announcement the Company has also entered into two indicative, non-binding term sheets for additional funds to support the wider work programme. If received, the funds advanced under these term sheets would take the total funds available to the Company to approximately US$48.3 million in a funding package encompassing equity, bank debt and development finance debt that, if all the funds are received, would fully finance the Company for the next stage of its development to Phase 2. This would include the addition of potentially transformative lithium and tantalum by-product revenue streams and financing substantial exploration drilling to unlock Uis as a globally significant lithium resource (the "Proposed Funding Package").

The Proposed Funding Package includes the potential proceeds from the previously announced DBN Debt Financing (as defined in the Funding Package Announcement); and, the potential proceeds from the Orion Financing (as defined in the Funding Package Announcement). At this stage both the Orion Financing and the DBN Debt Financing remain subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and approvals and agreeing definitive documentation and accordingly there can be no guarantee that either facility will be entered into, or that any money under these facilities will be drawn down; although the AfriTin Directors have every confidence that they will be.

The Placing

The Company intends to issue Placing Shares, to raise gross proceeds of approximately US$7.5 million (approximately £6.4m), to participants in the Placing. The Placing Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 21 September 2022.

In connection with the Placing, Anthony Viljoen Director and CEO of the Company and Michael Rawlinson, Non-Executive Director have indicated their intention to subscribe for Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The number of Placing Shares they subscribe for will be set out in the Result of Bookbuild Announcement.

The Joint Bookrunners are acting as bookrunners in connection with the Placing. The Placing Shares are being offered by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild"), which will be launched immediately following this announcement, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement.

Admission of the Placing Shares is conditional, inter alia, upon the placing agreement dated 15 September 2022 between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (the "Placing Agreement") not having been terminated and becoming unconditional in respect of such shares.

The Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things:

•       Admission of the Placing Shares becoming effective by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 21 September 2022 (or such later time and / or date as the Company and the Joint Bookrunners shall agree, not being later than 30 September 2022);

•       the delivery by the Company to the Joint Bookrunners of certain documents required under the Placing Agreement;

•       the Company having fully performed its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent that such obligations fall to be performed prior to Admission of the Placing Shares; and

•       each of the DBN Debt Financing, the Orion Financing and the agreement for the Subscription Shares not having been rescinded, withdrawn, terminated or lapsed prior to Admission.

•       the Placing Agreement not having been terminated by the Joint Bookrunners in accordance with its terms.

The timing of the closure of the Bookbuild and the allocation of the Placing Shares to be issued at the Placing Price are to be determined at the discretion of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners.

The Placing is not being underwritten and the Placing is not conditional on a minimum amount being raised.

The Subscription

The Company is also proposing to raise approximately US$10 million (approximately £8.5m) at the Placing Price pursuant to a subscription by cornerstone investor The Orange Trust, an existing 5.78% shareholder.

Each Placee, by participating in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any information (other than the Publicly Available Information), representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners or the Company or any other person and none of the Joint Bookrunners, the Company nor any other person acting on such person's behalf nor any of their respective Affiliates has or shall have any liability for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement.  Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing.  No Placee should consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice.  Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

The Joint Bookrunners are acting as placement agents in connection with the Placing.  The Joint Bookrunners have entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Company under which, on the terms, and subject to, the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners, as agents for and on behalf of the Company, have severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agreed to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares at a price of 5 (five) pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). The number of Placing Shares in the Placing will be determined following completion of the Bookbuild and set out in the term sheet to be entered into between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company ("Placing Term Sheet"). The timing of the closing of the book and allocations will be at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company. Details of the number of Placing Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions in the Placing Agreement, the Placing is not underwritten by the Joint Bookrunners and in the event that subscribers are not obtained for all or any of the Placing Shares (being the "Unplaced Shares") or in the event of a default to make payment by any subscribers procured by the Joint Bookrunners, there will be no obligation on any Joint Bookrunner to subscribe for any Unplaced Shares or defaulted Placing Shares.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the articles of incorporation of the Company and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Applications for admission to listing and trading

The Company shall procure that WH Ireland Limited, its nominated adviser, shall make, on the Company's behalf, the Application to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") ("Admission"). 

It is expected that Admission will take place on or before 8.00 a.m. on 21 September 2022 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners).

Bookbuild process

Following the release of this Announcement, the Joint Bookrunners will commence a bookbuild process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. The book will open with immediate effect following release of this Announcement.

This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing.  No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

The Joint Bookrunners and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Principal terms of the Bookbuild and Placing

1.   Stifel and H&P are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing, severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, as agents of the Company.

2.   Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by the Joint Bookrunners to participate. The Joint Bookrunners and any of their respective Affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild.

3.   The number of the Placing Shares will be established in the Bookbuild and announced by the Company through a Regulatory Information Service (the "Placing Results Announcement") following the completion of the Bookbuild and the entry into the Placing Term Sheet by the Company and the Joint Bookrunners.  The Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right to increase the amount to be raised and the number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing in their absolute discretion. 

4.   The number of Placing Shares and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Placing will be agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild.

5.   To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone to their usual sales contact at the relevant Joint Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which a prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Placing Price. Bids may be scaled down by the Joint Bookrunners on the basis referred to in paragraph ‎10 below. 

6.   The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 8.00 a.m. on 16 September 2022 but may be closed earlier or later at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement of the Joint Bookrunners) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its discretion.

7.   The Joint Bookrunners and the Company, shall, acting in good faith, agree all allocation matters in respect of the Placing in accordance with the terms of the Placing Agreement and will be confirmed orally or in writing by the relevant Joint Bookrunner, acting as agent of the Company, to the Placees. The relevant Joint Bookrunner's oral or written confirmation of an allocation to such Placee will give rise to a legally binding commitment by such person (who will at that point become a Placee), in favour of the relevant Joint Bookrunner and the Company, under which such Placee agrees to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay the Placing Price for each such Placing Share on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's articles of incorporation.

8.   The Company will release the Placing Results Announcement following the close of the Bookbuild, detailing the aggregate number of the Placing Shares to be issued.

9.   Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note or electronic confirmation issued to such Placee by the relevant Joint Bookrunner. A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms, and subject to, the conditions in this Appendix and the terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated into the contract note, the form of which will be dispatched to each Placee as soon as possible after its allocation of Placing Shares has been confirmed orally or in writing to it by the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

10.  Subject to paragraphs ‎6, ‎7 and ‎8 above, each of the Joint Bookrunners may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at their discretion and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine or be directed.  The Joint Bookrunners may also, notwithstanding paragraphs ‎6, ‎7 and ‎8 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company, allocate Placing Shares after the:

(a)  time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and

(b)  Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time,

and the acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity, the Joint Bookrunners have not received such satisfactory evidence, the Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion, terminate the Placee's Placing participation in which event all funds delivered by the Placee to the Joint Bookrunners will be returned without interest to the account of the drawee bank or CREST account from which they were originally debited.

11.  A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms, and subject to, the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with the relevant Joint Bookrunner's consent will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant Joint Bookrunner and the Company, to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee. The Company shall allot such Placing Shares to each Placee following each Placee's payment to the relevant Joint Bookrunner of such amount.

12.  The Placing Shares are being offered and sold by the Company: (a) outside the United States in offshore transactions as defined in, and pursuant to, Regulation S under the US Securities Act, or (b) in the United States to persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in transactions not involving any "public offering" within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the US Securities Act, and/or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. The Placee and the prospective beneficial owner of the Placing Shares is, and at the time the Placing Shares are subscribed for will be: (a) outside the United States and subscribing for the Placing Shares in an "offshore transaction" as defined in, and pursuant to, Regulation S under the US Securities Act; or (b) (i) a QIB, and (ii) subscribing for the Placing Shares pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the US Securities Act.

13.  Each potential Placee located or resident in Australia must qualify as either a "sophisticated investor" meeting the criteria in section 708(8) of the Corporations Act or an "experienced investor" meeting the criteria in section 708(10) of the Corporations Act or a "professional investor" meeting the criteria in section 708(11) of the Corporations Act that has either executed and delivered, or will execute and deliver, an Australian investor letter and satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth therein.

14.  Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by the Joint Bookrunners or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

15.  Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement of the Placing Shares".

16.  All obligations under the Bookbuild and Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the Conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing".

17.  By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

18.  To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of:

(a)  the Joint Bookrunners;

(b)  any of their respective Affiliates, agents, directors, officers, consultants or employees; nor

(c)  to the extent not contained within ‎(a) or ‎(b) above, any person connected with the Joint Bookrunners as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together Affiliates and individually an Affiliate of the Joint Bookrunners),

shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise.  In particular, none of the Joint Bookrunners, nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of its or their agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners'' conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree or determine.

Registration and settlement of the Placing Shares

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a contract note or electronic trade confirmation which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them at the Placing Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GG00BD95V148) placed by the Joint Bookrunners following Admission will take place within CREST, subject to certain exceptions.  Settlement of the Placing Shares through CREST will be on a T+2 basis unless otherwise notified by any Joint Bookrunner and is expected to occur on 21 September 2022 in accordance with the contract note or electronic trade confirmation.

Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis. However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form.  Each of the Joint Bookrunners reserves the right to require settlement for the Placing Shares, and to deliver the Placing Shares to Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction.

General

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, the relevant Joint Bookrunner may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Company's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due.  The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the Placing Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its Placing Shares on its behalf. 

By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, such Placee confers on the Joint Bookrunners all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the Joint Bookrunners lawfully take in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing is, conditional upon, inter alia:

2.   the delivery by the Company to the Joint Bookrunners of certain documents required under the Placing Agreement;

3.   the Company having fully performed its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent that such obligations fall to be performed prior to Admission of the Placing Shares; and;

By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

The Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion (acting jointly) and upon such terms as each of them thinks fit, waive fulfilment of all or any of the Conditions in the Placing Agreement in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more Conditions, save that certain Conditions (including the condition relating to Admission) may not be waived.  Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Appendix. The Joint Bookrunners may each terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

None of the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees nor the Company shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any Condition to the Placing nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any Condition, the number of Placing Shares to be placed or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of each Joint Bookrunner.

Termination of the Placing

The Joint Bookrunners are entitled to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including, inter alia, if at any time before Admission a Joint Bookrunner becomes aware that:

On the occurrence of any one or more of the above-mentioned circumstances, the Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Company (or by orally communicating the same to the Company), terminate the Placing Agreement with immediate effect.

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in this Announcement shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof.

Any termination by one Joint Bookrunner of its rights under the Placing Agreement shall be without prejudice to the obligations and rights of the other Joint Bookrunners and the Placing Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

The Joint Bookrunners and the Company will not be responsible for any liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax resulting from a failure to observe this requirement.  Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of such Placee agrees to acquire Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing and agrees to indemnify the Company and the Joint Bookrunners in respect of the same on the basis that the Placing Shares will be allotted to a CREST stock account of a Joint Bookrunner or transferred to a CREST stock account of a Joint Bookrunner who will hold them as nominee on behalf of the Placee until settlement in accordance with its standing settlement instructions with it.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements, confirmations and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to each Joint Bookrunner for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that each Joint Bookrunner may (at its absolute discretion) satisfy its obligations to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do so.

When a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the Joint Bookrunners, any money held in an account with the relevant Joint Bookrunner on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA.  Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules: as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Joint Bookrunner's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.
