Details of the Placing and proposed Board changes

Use of Placing proceeds

The net proceeds of the Placing, which are expected to amount to approximately £1.05 million (assuming a Placing of 80,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price and expenses of approximately £0.15 million), will enable the Company to advance the Ampasindava Project towards production by progressing a number of near-term and material milestones, as well as provide additional general working capital. This includes the completion of a feasibility study, environmental studies, conversion of the mining licence, early site works and the construction of an onsite laboratory.

Details of the Placing

It is expected that the Placing will result in the issue of up to 80,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price, to raise up to £1.2 million before expenses for the Company. The Placing will represent up to 16.20 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company after the Placing.

The Issue Price represents a premium of approximately 11.1 per cent. to the closing middle market price of 1.35 pence per Ordinary Share on 31 July 2025, being the latest closing price prior to this Announcement.

Pursuant to a placing agreement dated 31 July 2025 between Allenby Capital and the Company (the "Placing Agreement"), Allenby Capital has conditionally agreed, as agent on behalf of the Company, to use their reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares.

The Company also intends to issue warrants to subscribe for up to 40,000,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Fee Warrants") to Ivan Murphy and Paul Richards for their services in respect of the Placing. The Fee Warrants are exercisable at a price of 3 pence per Fee Warrant for a period of five years from the date of Admission (as defined below). In addition, the Company also intends to intend to issue warrants to subscribe for up to 40,000,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Performance Warrants") to Ivan Murphy and Paul Richards for their services to the Company. While Ivan and Paul will be non-executive directors, their extensive knowledge of the project and Madagascar and their relationships are expected to be instrumental in progressing the Ampasindava Project. The Performance Warrants are exercisable at a price of 5 pence per warrant for a period of five years from the date of Admission (as defined below) and will only vest in the event that the Company's Ampasindava Project licence has converted into a mining licence. The exercise of the Fee Warrants and the Performance Warrants will be conditional on the Company obtaining additional share authorities.

The Fee Warrants and Performance Warrants will not be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange Plc (the "London Stock Exchange") or any other stock exchange. The issue and exercise of the Fee Warrants and the Performance Warrants will be conditional on the Company obtaining the requisite authorities to issue new Ordinary Shares beyond the Placing Shares, including the passing of resolutions at the Company's next general meeting of shareholders.

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix I to this Announcement. The Bookrunner will commence the Bookbuild in respect of the Placing immediately following the release of this Announcement. The exact number of Placing Shares will be determined at the close of the Bookbuild and will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter.

The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild, the number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and allocations among subscribers are at the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner, in consultation with the Company.  A further announcement confirming the final details of the Placing will be made following the closing of the Bookbuild. The Bookrunner reserves the right to close the Bookbuild without further notice. The Placing is being undertaken on a reasonable endeavours basis and is not being underwritten. Furthermore, the proposed issue of the new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Placing will take place on a non-pre-emptive basis.

The new Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and with the existing Ordinary Shares including, without limitation, the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or after the date of issue.

The Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms and Admission (as described below) becoming effective. The Placing will be implemented using Company's existing shareholder authorities.

Proposed Board Changes

It is proposed that Ivan Murphy and Paul Richards will join the Board as Non-Executive Chairman and Non-Executive Director respectively, effective following completion of the Placing. Contemporaneously with their appointments becoming effective, it is also proposed that Cameron Pearce and Sam Quinn will step down from the Board as Non-Executive Directors.

Admission is expected to take place on or around on or around 8.00 a.m. on 6 August 2025 (or such later time or date as Allenby Capital may agree with the Company, being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 20 August 2025) and that dealings in the Placing Shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange will commence at that time.

Bookbuild

Allenby Capital will today commence the accelerated bookbuilding process to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees (the "Bookbuild"). 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.

Allenby Capital 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.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1.       Allenby Capital is acting as broker and sole bookrunner to the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Placing Agreement. Allenby Capital is an authorised and regulated entity in the United Kingdom by the FCA and is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the matters referred to in this Announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company in relation to the matters described in this Announcement.

2.     Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Allenby Capital. Allenby Capital may itself agree to be a Placee in respect of all or some of the Placing Shares or may nominate any member of its group to do so.

3.     Following a successful completion of the Bookbuild, the Company will confirm the closing of the Placing via the Placing Results Announcement.

4.     To bid in the Bookbuild, prospective Placees should communicate their bid orally by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at Allenby Capital. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Issue Price. Bids may be scaled down by Allenby Capital on the basis referred to in paragraph 6 below.  Allenby Capital reserves the right not to accept bids or to accept bids in part rather than in whole. The acceptance of the bids shall be at Allenby Capital's absolute discretion, subject to agreement with the Company.

5.     The Bookbuild is expected to close on 31 July 2025 but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of Allenby Capital. Allenby Capital may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right (upon the prior agreement of Allenby Capital) to vary the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing, in its absolute discretion.

6.      Allocations of the Placing Shares will be determined by Allenby Capital after consultation with the Company (and in accordance with Allenby Capital's allocation policy as has been supplied by them to the Company in advance of such consultation). Allenby Capital's oral confirmation to such Placee constitutes an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee), in favour of Allenby Capital and the Company, to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay the Issue Price in respect of each such share on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company. 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 Allenby Capital's consent, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted.

7.     Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a trade confirmation issued to such Placee. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that trade confirmation.

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

9.     All obligations under the Bookbuild and the Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver 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 "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement".

10.   By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees 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.

11.   To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither Allenby Capital, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees or advisers shall have any responsibility or liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither Allenby Capital, the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees or advisers shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the conduct of the Placing or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as Allenby Capital and the Company may agree.

12.   The Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and conditions of this Appendix and each Placee's commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out in this Appendix will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or Allenby Capital' conduct of the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional, amongst others, upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms. Allenby Capital's obligations under the Placing Agreement are conditional on customary conditions, including (amongst others) (the "Conditions") Admission occurring no later than 8.00 a.m. on 6 August 2025 (or such later time or date as Allenby Capital may otherwise agree with the Company, being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 20 August 2025).

Allenby Capital may, at their discretion and upon such terms as they think fit, waive compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of its obligations in relation to the Conditions or extend the time or date provided for fulfilment of any such Conditions in respect of all or any part of the performance thereof, save in respect of Admission taking place. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Appendix.

If: (i) any of the Conditions are not fulfilled or (where permitted) waived by Allenby Capital by the relevant time or date specified (or such later time or date as Allenby Capital may agree with the Company, being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 20 August 2025); or (ii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances specified below under "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement", the Placing will not proceed.

Neither Allenby Capital, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees 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 they 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 they may make as to the satisfaction of any Condition 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 Allenby Capital.

Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement

Allenby Capital is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including (amongst other things):

1.     any of the warranties given by the Company under the Placing Agreement has ceased or is likely to cease to be true and accurate or has become or is likely to become misleading;

2.     a matter has arisen that is likely to give rise to a claim under any of the indemnities given by the Company to Allenby Capital under the Placing Agreement;

3.     the occurrence of certain material adverse changes or significant events; and/or

4.     the occurrence of certain events of force majeure,

which, in each case, Allenby Capital (acting in good faith) considers is or would likely be material and prejudicial to the Placing.

Upon termination, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the Placing Agreement in relation to the Placing Shares that has not been unconditionally issued at such time, subject to certain exceptions.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that (a) the exercise by Allenby Capital of any right of termination or of any other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Allenby Capital and that they need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that they shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure to so exercise, and (b) its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above under "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement" and "Conditions of the Placing", and its participation will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after oral confirmation by Allenby Capital of the allocation and commitments following the close of the Bookbuild.

Restriction on Further Issue of Shares

Under the terms of the Placing Agreement, the Company has undertaken to Allenby Capital that it will not, until the date falling 90 days from the date of Admission, offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, issue options, convertibles or derivatives in respect of or otherwise dispose of (including any sale or transfer or any disposition whatsoever, including an agreement to effect any of the foregoing or the creation of any option or charge which could lead to any of the foregoing) any Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company or any other member of its group (or any interest therein or in respect thereof) or any other securities exchangeable for, or convertible into, or substantially similar to, Ordinary Shares or any share in any other member of the Company's group, or enter into any transaction having substantially the same effect or agree to do any of the foregoing, other than with the prior written consent of Allenby Capital.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Allenby Capital of any power to grant consent to the undertaking by the Company of a transaction which would otherwise be subject to the restrictive provisions on further issuance under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Allenby Capital and that they need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that they shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise of the power to grant consent.

Registration and Settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00BMGRFP88) following Admission will take place within the computerised settlement system to facilitate transfer of the title to an interest in securities in uncertificated form operated by Euroclear UK & International Limited ("CREST"), subject to certain exceptions. Allenby Capital reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or any part thereof) to Placees by such other means that they may deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee to be allocated Placing Shares will be sent a trade confirmation stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to them at the Issue Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Allenby Capital for the Placing Shares allocated and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions in respect of the Placing Shares that it has in place with Allenby Capital.

The Company will deliver (or will procure the delivery of) the Placing Shares to a CREST account operated by Allenby Capital as agent for the Company and Allenby Capital will enter its delivery instruction into the CREST system. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.

It is expected that settlement in respect of the Placing Shares will take place on 6 August 2025 on a delivery versus payment basis.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Allenby Capital may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Allenby Capital's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by that Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and will be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax ("SDRT") or other taxes or duties (together with any interest or penalties) imposed in any jurisdiction which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are issued 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 UK stamp duty or SDRT. If there are any circumstances in which any stamp duty or SDRT or other similar taxes or duties (including any interest and penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue, sale, transfer or delivery of the Placing Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt, if any stamp duty or SDRT is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), neither Allenby Capital or the Company shall be responsible for payment thereof.

Representations, warranties, undertakings and acknowledgements

By participating in the Placing each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) irrevocably acknowledges, confirms, undertakes, represents, warrants and agrees (as the case may be) with Allenby Capital (in its capacity as sole bookrunner and placing agent of the Company in respect of the Placing) and the Company, in each case as a fundamental term of their application for Placing Shares, the following:

47.   the allocation, allotment, issue and delivery to it, or the person specified by it for registration as holder, of Placing Shares will not give rise to a stamp duty or SDRT liability under (or at a rate determined under) any of sections 67, 70, 93 or 96 of the Finance Act 1986 (depositary receipts and clearance services) and that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer Placing Shares into a clearance service;

48.   it (and any person acting on its behalf) has the funds available to pay for the Placing Shares for which it has agreed to subscribe and acknowledges and agrees that it will make payment in respect of the Placing Shares allocated to it in accordance with this Appendix on the due time and date set out in this Announcement, failing which the relevant Placing Shares may be placed with other subscribers or sold as Allenby Capital may in its sole discretion determine and without liability to such Placee, who will remain liable for any amount by which the net proceeds of such sale falls short of the product of the relevant Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and will be required to bear any stamp duty, SDRT or other taxes or duties (together with any interest, fines or penalties) imposed in any jurisdiction which may arise upon the sale of such Placee's Placing Shares;

49.   any money held in an account with Allenby Capital on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting 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 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 Allenby Capital's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee;

50.   its allocation (if any) of Placing Shares will represent a maximum number of Placing Shares which it will be entitled, and required, to subscribe for, and that Allenby Capital or the Company may call upon it to subscribe for a lower number of Placing Shares (if any), but in no event in aggregate more than the aforementioned maximum;

51.   neither Allenby Capital nor any of their respective affiliates, nor any person acting on behalf of them, is making any recommendations to it, advising it regarding the suitability of any transactions it may enter into in connection with the Placing and Allenby Capital is not acting for it or its clients, and that Allenby Capital will not be responsible for providing the protections afforded to clients or customers of Allenby Capital or for providing advice in respect of the transactions described in this Announcement;

52.     it acknowledges that its commitment to acquire Placing Shares on the terms set out in this Announcement and in the trade confirmation, contract note or other (oral or written) confirmation will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or Allenby Capital's conduct of the Placing;

53.   if it has received any 'inside information' (for the purposes of MAR and section 56 of the Criminal Justice Act 1993) in relation to the Company and its securities in advance of the Placing, it confirms that it has received such information within the market soundings regime provided for in article 11 of MAR and associated delegated regulations and it has not:

(a)    used that inside information to acquire or dispose of securities of the Company or financial instruments related thereto or cancel or amend an order concerning the Company's securities or any such financial instruments;

(b)    used that inside information to encourage, require, recommend or induce another person to deal in the securities of the Company or financial instruments related thereto or to cancel or amend an order concerning the Company's securities or such financial instruments; or

(c)    disclosed such information to any person, prior to the information being made publicly available;

54.   the rights and remedies of the Company and Allenby Capital under the terms and conditions in this Appendix are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others; and

55.   these terms and conditions of the Placing and any agreements entered into by it pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing, and all non-contractual or other obligations arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and it submits (on behalf of itself and on behalf of any person on whose behalf it is acting) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract (including any dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of such contract or relating to any non- contractual or other obligation arising out of or in connection with such contract), except that enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by either the Company or Allenby Capital in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a recognised stock exchange.

The foregoing representations, warranties, confirmations, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings are given for the benefit of the Company as well as Allenby Capital and are irrevocable. Allenby Capital and the Company and their respective affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, confirmations, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings.

Each prospective Placee, and any person acting on behalf of such Placee, irrevocably authorises the Company and Allenby Capital to produce this Announcement, pursuant to, in connection with, or as may be required by any applicable law or regulation, administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters set forth in this Announcement.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify on an after tax basis and hold the Company, Allenby Capital and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in this Appendix or incurred by Allenby Capital, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of that Placees' obligations as set out in this Announcement, and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after completion of the Placing.

No statement in the Placing Documents is intended to be a profit forecast or estimate, and no statement in the Placing Documents should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of the Company for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of the Company. Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

The Placing Shares will not be admitted to trading on any stock exchange other than the London Stock Exchange.

Allenby Capital Limited is authorised and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom and is acting as financial adviser and sole bookrunner exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Placing and will not be responsible to anyone (including any Placees) other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Placing or any other matters referred to in this Announcement.

Taxation

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 UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax. Neither Allenby nor the Company will be liable in any circumstances for the payment of stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax in connection with any of the Placing Shares. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such statements assume that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or SDRT or other similar taxes or duties may be payable, for which neither the Company nor Allenby Capital will be responsible and the Placees shall indemnify the Company and Allenby Capital on an after-tax basis for any stamp duty or SDRT or other similar taxes or duties (together with interest, fines and penalties) in any jurisdiction paid by the Company or Allenby Capital in respect of any such arrangements or dealings. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Allenby Capital accordingly. Placees are advised to consult with their own advisers regarding the tax aspects of the subscription for Placing Shares.

The Company and Allenby Capital are not liable to bear any taxes that arise on a sale of Placing Shares subsequent to their acquisition by Placees, including any taxes arising otherwise than under the laws of any country in the EEA. Each prospective Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such tax liability arises and notify Allenby Capital and the Company accordingly. Furthermore, each prospective Placee agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold Allenby Capital and/or the Company and their respective affiliates harmless from any and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to stamp duty, SDRT and all other similar duties or taxes in any jurisdiction to the extent that such interest, fines or penalties arise from the unreasonable default or delay of that Placee or its agent.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable, whether inside or outside the UK, by them or any other person on the subscription, acquisition, transfer or sale by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for, acquire, transfer or sell any Placing Shares.
