Central Asia Metals plc (AIM: CAML) announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 and Notice of its 2022 Annual General Meeting is available for download from the Company's website at www.centralasiametals.com.

These two documents, together with a Form of Proxy, have been mailed to those shareholders who have elected to receive paper copies.

Annual General Meeting ("AGM") 2022

The Company's AGM is to be held at The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BG at 12:00 noon on 26 May 2022.

Current public health guidance and legislation issued by the UK Government in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic permits public gatherings and travel at the date of the AGM. However, due to the continued unpredictability and potential health risks from public gatherings because of the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders are encouraged to cast their votes in advance of the meeting by appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy and to give instructions on how they wish the Chairman of the Meeting to vote on the resolutions on their behalf. If you wish to attend the AGM physically or appoint a person as your proxy other than the Chairman of the Meeting, you are asked to register your intention to attend by email to [email protected] on reasonable notice, to allow the Company, if practical, to make appropriate arrangements. If you do not register your intention to attend in this way, this could result in either you or your proxy (if a person other than the Chairman of the Meeting) not being permitted entry to the AGM.

The Board will continue to closely monitor the ongoing impact of COVID-19, and if it becomes necessary or appropriate to change  the arrangements for the AGM, the Company will notify shareholders before the AGM via its website at www.centralasiametals.com and, where appropriate, through the release of an announcement to a Regulatory Information Service.

The Board recognises that the AGM is an important event for shareholders in the corporate calendar and is committed to ensuring that shareholders can exercise their right to vote and ask questions in connection with this meeting. Relevant questions from shareholders regarding the formal business of the AGM can be raised in advance of the AGM by email to [email protected] and in so far as relevant to the business of the AGM will be responded to by email and taken into account as appropriate at the AGM itself. Voting at the AGM will be carried out by way of a poll so that the votes cast in advance and the votes of all shareholders appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy can be taken into account.

In addition, the proceedings of this year's AGM will be broadcast via the Investor Meet Company platform. Shareholders wishing to watch the proceedings of the AGM may register to do so at:

www.investormeetcompany.com/central-asia-metals-plc/register-investor.

Please note the broadcast of the AGM will not be interactive and shareholders watching the meeting on this will not be able to participate in the proceedings of the meeting (please also see below regarding the subsequent management presentation). Accordingly, shareholders intending to view the AGM via the Investor Meet Company platform are strongly advised to submit proxy votes, and to submit any questions in connection with the AGM itself (by email to [email protected]), in advance of the meeting as set out above.

Immediately following the formal proceedings of the AGM, a management presentation on the Group and its business will also be broadcast via the Investor Meet Company Platform. Questions which shareholders and others would like considered in connection with this presentation can be submitted through the Investor Meet Company platform either before or during the presentation.

Investors who already follow Central Asia Metals plc on the Investor Meet Company platform should automatically receive an invitation via the platform.

As usual, the results of the AGM will be announced as soon as practical after it has taken place. Shareholders are also welcome to contact our Director of Corporate Relations, Louise Wrathall, who will endeavour to answer general questions not related to the AGM, by email at [email protected] or by telephone +44 (0) 207 898 9001.

Shareholders wishing to vote on any of the matters of business at the AGM are therefore strongly encouraged to:

1.      Submit their votes as soon as possible in advance of the meeting and, in any case, by 12 noon on 24 May 2022 through the proxy and electronic voting facilities and to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy for this purpose. See the notice of meeting for full details.

2.      Submit any questions in connection with the business of the meeting in advance to [email protected].
