Neo Energy Metals plc, the near term, low-cost uranium developer, is pleased to announce that, in accordance with its Prospectus dated 29 September 2023, it has received the second tranche of funding of £1,050,000 from Q Global Commodities Limited ("Q Global"), and issued subject only to admission, 140,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of £0.0001 par each in the Company (the "Subscription (Second) Shares").  

The Subscription (Second) Shares represent the second of six tranches subscribed for by Q Global's affiliate, AUO Commercial Brokerage LLC ("AUO"), bringing the total amount received to date from AUO to £1.5 million.  Under the subscription agreement as set out in the Prospectus, a further 266,666,666 will be issued to AUO over the coming months, raising an additional £2 million. 

The proceeds received in respect of the Subscription (Second) Shares are in addition to the subscription proceeds described in the Company's announcement dated 9 November 2023, concerning which the Company has issued 40,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of £0.0001 par each.

Funds raised will be used to complete an updated feasibility study and target an increase in Mineral Resources at the Company's Henkries Uranium Project ('Henkries' or 'the Project') in the Northern Cape of the Republic of South Africa.
