Serabi Gold plc
("Serabi" or the "Company")

Proposed Fundraising

Serabi Gold plc (AIM:SRB, TSX:SBI), the Brazil focussed gold producer and developer, is pleased to announce its intention to raise gross proceeds of approximately US$17.5 million (£12.5 million / C$22.0 million) by way of a placing of new Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") to both existing and new institutional investors (the "Placing").

Concurrently with the Placing, Serabi will also conduct a placing of Warrants to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (“Warrant Placing” and together with the Placing the “Placings”). The Warrant Placing is conditional, amongst other things, upon Shareholder approval and completion of the Placing. Only subscribers for Placing Shares will be eligible to participate in the Warrant Placing and may purchase one half of a warrant for each Placing Share subscribed for.

In relation to the Placings, Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") and Tamesis Partners LLP ("Tamesis") are acting as joint bookrunners (together the "Joint Bookrunners") and Beacon Securities Limited ("Beacon") is acting as Manager. The books for the Placings will open with immediate effect. In addition to the Placings, there will be an offer for subscription for new Ordinary Shares (the "PrimaryBid Offer Shares") for retail investors (the "PrimaryBid Offer" and together with the Placings, the "Fundraising") provided that the total number of Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Fundraising shall not exceed 20 million. A separate announcement will be made shortly regarding the PrimaryBid Offer and its terms. Neither of the Placings are conditional on the PrimaryBid Offer.

Highlights:

Intention to raise gross proceeds of approximately US$17.5 million in the Placing through the issue of Ordinary Shares in the Company at a price of £0.75 (C$1.32) per Placing Share (the "Placing Price");
Use of Placing proceeds to:
- Part fund the construction of the Coringa Gold Project which, when in full production, is expected to increase current annual production by approximately 100 per cent. to approximately 80 kozpa;
- Undertake further regional exploration, including up to c. 32,000m of drilling on priority targets during 2021 as part of the Company's longer term exploration objective of targeting a mineral resource above 3 million ounces of contained gold in aggregate across all of the Company's projects;
- Redeem the outstanding Convertible Loan Notes held by Greenstone Resources II LP (“Greenstone”), being US$2 million together with accrued interest of approximately US$200,000 and the arrangement fee and other expenses of approximately US$333,000 (together the “Interest and Fees”) both of which are due to be settled in cash at the same time that the Convertible Loan Notes are redeemed; and
- Repay the remainder of the Equinox debt which as of 31 December 2020 was approximately US$6.6 million including accrued interest.
Any funds raised in the Warrant Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer will also be used for these purposes and general working capital.
The Company and Greenstone have entered into an agreement (the "Redemption Agreement") pursuant to which they have agreed, conditional on Admission, to terminate the existing convertible loan note subscription deed between, amongst others, Greenstone and the Company originally dated 21 January 2020, (the “Subscription Deed” as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time) and to release the security granted by the Company in favour of Greenstone.
Greenstone has indicated its intention to subscribe in the Placing for a minimum of 2,417,055 Ordinary Shares and may subscribe for further Ordinary Shares up to a maximum number of Ordinary Shares that would result in Greenstone maintaining its current interest in the Company subsequent to the Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer (and which prior to the announcement of the Placing was 25.2% of the issued share capital). Greenstone has also indicated that it intends to subscribe for Warrants in the Warrant Placing.

The Placings are being conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild") and will both be launched immediately following the release of this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuilds and the allocations are at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager and the Company provided that only subscribers for Placing Shares will be eligible to participate in the Warrant Placing and such subscribers may only purchase one half of a warrant for each Placing Share subscribed for.

The results of the Placings will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the respective Bookbuilds.

Both of the Placings are subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement (which forms part of this announcement, such announcement and the Appendix together being this "Announcement").

The Warrant Placing is conditional, inter alia, on completion of the Placing and shareholder approval of the relevant authorities to issue the Warrants and the new Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held by the end of May 2021. The subscription price for the Warrants is £0.06 (C$0.11) per warrant (“Warrant Subscription Price”) and the exercise price for the Warrants will be £0.9375 (C$1.65) per new Ordinary Share, representing a premium of 25% to the Placing Price, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events (“Exercise Price”). The Warrants will be exercisable for two years from their date of issue. The Warrants will not be transferable and will not be listed on AIM, the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other exchange or market. Further details of the Warrants will be set out in the circular containing the notice of annual general meeting which is expected to be published by the end of April 2021.

Greenstone and Fratelli Investments Limited have undertaken to vote the Ordinary Shares that they hold at the time of the annual general meeting in favour of the resolutions to authorise the issue of the Warrants and the new Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on or around 9 March 2021.

The completion of the Placing is conditional upon Admission becoming effective and the Redemption Agreement not being terminated prior to Admission. The Placing is not conditional upon the PrimaryBid Offer or the Warrant Placing. The Warrant Placing is conditional amongst other things on completion of the Placing and upn Shareholder approval.

Trading update

Gold production from the Company's operations since the beginning of the year has been in line with management's expectations and consistent with the upper end of the Company's guidance for production of 33,000 to 36,000 ounces for 2021.

As advised in the Company's news release of 15 January 2021, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company produced 7,224 ounces of gold but because of the timing of delivery and therefore recognition of gold sales for accounting purposes, sales of 8,260 ounces were accounted for in the same period. During the fourth quarter of 2021, whilst gold production of 7,254 ounces was very similar, gold sales recognised for accounting purposes in the period were 6,511 ounces. As a result, income recognised in the fourth quarter is lower than that of the third quarter with a consequent impact on EBITDA and net profit before tax. This has also impacted on the levels of cash generated in the period.

As also reported in the Company's news release of 15 January 2021, the final gold sale of 2020 was recorded on 29 December 2020 when a shipment of copper/gold in concentrate left Brazil. The initial proceeds from this sale of US$1.5 million were received in the first days of January 2021. In the preceding quarters of 2020, both the recognition of revenue and the receipt of the initial payments have occurred within the same quarter for all gold sales. Including this delayed receipt, the cash position at the end of December on a like for like basis was US$8.1 million.

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company took actions that allowed mining operations to continue whilst at the same time seeking to minimise the health risk to its personnel presented by COVID-19. As part of its actions the numbers of personnel at site were significantly reduced and all work undertaken by third party contractors, including surface and underground drilling crews, was suspended. During the fourth quarter, staffing levels at site progressively returned to normal levels and contractors to undertake surface and underground drilling returned to site. During Q4, costs increased therefore, compared the Q2 and Q3, reflecting the restart of underground drilling. In addition, the maintenance department was very active catching up on the servicing and repair of machinery and other equipment that had been operating with limited maintenance capacity during the preceding two quarters.

At the end of 2019, the Company was owed approximately BrR$14 million (approximately US$2.6 million) in sales related taxes incurred on purchases of fixed assets, consumable goods and services by the State of Para. This debt has been reviewed and confirmed as being due to the Company and the Company has received legal advice confirming that it is entitled to recover this amount. The Company as an exporter does not charge sales tax on its revenues and therefore is unable to recover this debt by way of set-off and is currently reliant upon a cash settlement from the revenue authorities for the State of Para to recover this debt. In light of the financial position of the State of Para, it has been unwilling to make any cash settlement to date. From time to time it has been possible to sell, with the permission of the revenue authorities of the State of Para, these debts to third parties. The Company held at the end of 2019 a provision of 20% of the amount owed (BrR$2.8 million) representing its estimate of the market discount applicable to such a transaction. During 2020, the Company has been unable to progress a potential transaction with a third party and as of 31 December 2020 the value of the debt owed had increased to BrR$17.7 million (US$3.3 million). While the Company continues to seek a means of recovering this debt, it might be required to further provide against it. This would impact the Q4 2020 results. In its working capital forecasts, the Company has not anticipated the receipt of any settlement or payment in respect of this debt.

Updated Mineral Reserve and Resources

The following information relates to updated Mineral Reserve and Resources in respect of the Palito and Sao Chico deposits, which have been estimated by the Company and are effective as of 31 August 2020. The Mineral Reserve and Resources for Coringa have not been updated.

Qualified Persons and Quality Control

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release pertaining to the Palito and Sao Chcio gold deposits has been reviewed and approved by Michael Hodgson BSc, MSc FIMMM, who is a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and who has acted as the qualified person under the AIM Rules (“Qualified Person”):

The Qualified Person has verified the information disclosed herein, including the sampling, preparation, security and analytical procedures underlying the information or opinions contained in this announcement in accordance with standards appropriate to their qualifications.

Mineral Reserves and Resources

The Company estimates and discloses mineral reserves and resources using the definitions adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and in accordance with NI 43-101. Further details are available at www.cim.org. See the “Glossary of Geological and Mining Terms” for complete definitions of mineral reserves and mineral resources.

About Mineral Resources

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability, but do have reasonable prospect for economic extraction. They fall into three categories: measured, indicated, and inferred. The reported mineral resources are stated inclusive of mineral reserves. Measured and indicated mineral resources are sufficiently well-defined to allow geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed, and permit the application of technical and economic parameters in assessing the economic viability of the mineral resource. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them. There is no certainty that mineral resources of any category will be upgraded to mineral reserves.

Important Information about Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates

Whilst the Company takes all reasonable care in the preparation and verification of the mineral reserve and resource figures. the figures are estimates based in part on forward-looking information.

Estimates are based on management’s knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results, the quality of available data and management’s best judgment. They are, however, imprecise by nature, may change over time, and include many variables and assumptions including geological interpretation, commodity prices and currency exchange rates, recovery rates, and operating and capital costs.

There is no assurance that the indicated levels of metal will be produced, and the Company may have to re-estimate the mineral reserves based on actual production experience. Changes in the metal price, production costs or recovery rates could make it unprofitable to operate or develop a particular deposit for a period of time.

Details of the Placings

The Placings are each being conducted through an accelerated bookbuilding process to be undertaken by Peel Hunt and Tamesis acting as Joint Bookrunners and Beacon acting as Manager. The books for the Placings will open with immediate effect. The Placings are subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1 (which forms part of this Announcement). The timing of the closing of the Bookbuilds and allocations are at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company, provided that only subscribers for Placing Shares will be eligible to participate in the Warrant Placing and such subscribers may only purchase one half a warrant for each Placing Share subscribed for (rounded down to the nearest whole warrant). The Warrant Subscription Price for the Warrants is £0.06 (C$0.11) per Warrant and the Exercise Price for the Warrants will be £0.9375 (C$1.65) per new ordinary share, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events. The Warrants will be exercisable for two years from their date of issue. A further announcement will be made as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuilds.

Neither of the Placings is being underwritten and they are each subject to the conditions and termination rights set out in the placing agreement between the Company, the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager (the "Placing Agreement"). Further details of the Placing Agreement can be found in the terms and conditions of the Placing contained in Appendix 1 of this Announcement.

The completion of the Placing is conditional upon inter alia, Admission becoming effective and the Redemption Agreement not being terminated prior to Admission. The Placing is not conditional upon the PrimaryBid Offer. The completion of the Warrant Placing and subscription for the Warrants is conditional upon inter alia, the Placing becoming effective and shareholder approval and payment of the Warrant Subscription Price. Neither the Placing nor the Warrant Placing is conditional upon the PrimaryBid Offer.

The Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares will rank pari passu with the existing issued Ordinary Shares.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Recognising the obligations and requirements resulting from the listing of the shares of the Company in Canada, it is expected that Admission will take place at 8:00 a.m. on or around 9 March 2021 and in any event no later than 31 March 2021. Concurrently the Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares will be listed for trading on the TSX.

At the Company's AGM, the Shareholders approved a resolution providing the directors with the authority to allot up to 20 million shares in the Company. A further resolution was proposed and approved, with 85.5% of votes cast in favour, with the intention to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in respect of the allotment of up to 20 million shares for cash. Whilst this second resolution was passed, due to an administrative error, it is not effective for its purpose. Following consultation with its major Shareholders and its advisers, the Company has chosen a cashbox structure to implement the Placing to reflect the intention of the Company’s Shareholders to approve the disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights at the AGM. Notwithstanding this, the Company intends to respect the principles of pre-emption as far as practicable by extending the offer to participate to a significant majority of Shareholders and, as far as practicable, allocating to existing Shareholders at least up to what would be their pre-emptive entitlement. This will also apply to existing retail Shareholders, who will be entitled to participate through the PrimaryBid platform.

In the event that Shareholder approval for the issue of the Warrants and any new Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is not received at the annual general meeting, the Warrants will not be issued and the Company will receive no proceeds from the Warrant Placing.

Appendix 1 sets out further information relating to the Bookbuilds and the terms and conditions of the Placings.

Background to and reasons for the Placings

Following receipt of the Licencia Previa for the Coringa Project as announced on 28^th September 2020, the Company wishes to pursue a placing to raise funds that will allow the Company to commence underground development of the mine ahead of receipt of an installation licence ("LI") which is expected before the end of 2021. Once in full production, the Coringa Project is expected to add approximately 38,000 oz per annum of production, moving the Company towards its targeted production of 100,000 oz of gold per annum.

The Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared by Global Resource Engineering, the Company's independent engineering consultant and published in September 2019, estimated an initial capital requirement of US$24.7 million prior to sustained positive cash-flow being reached. The Company expects to use some of the proceeds of the Placing to fund initial mine development including establishing the mine portal. Construction of the process plant will be commenced following the issue of the LI which the Company expects to receive before the end of 2021. The Company anticipates that it will be able to finance the balance of the capital requirements for the full development of Coringa using a combination of debt and the cash flow being generated from its existing operations.

Assuming the LI is granted within the expected time frame and debt terms agreed, the Company expects that first gold production from the Coringa Project can be realised during 2023.

Use of proceeds

The directors intend to use the proceeds from the Placing (exclusive of costs and commissions which will be met from existing resources) as follows:

Use of the Placing proceeds
Repayment of remaining Equinox debt (including interest)	US$6.6m
Regional exploration programme	US$5.0m
Initial Coringa Project development capex	US$3.4m
Redemption of the outstanding Convertible Loan Notes together with Interest and Fees	US$2.5m
Gross proceeds	US$17.5m

The Company is intending to repay the remaining portion of the deferred consideration owed to Equinox for the purchase of the Coringa Project. With the redemption of the Convertible Loan Notes, this will eliminate the debt obligations of the Company and release all security interests held by Equinox and Greenstone, allowing the Company to secure debt terms for the remaining capital required to develop the Coringa Project. In the near term, the proceeds of the Placing will allow the Company to undertake some initial underground mine development at the Coringa Project which management anticipate will provide enhanced understanding of the geometry of the mineralisation at the Coringa Project which should further de-risk the project for lenders.

The Company is also seeking to fund further regional exploration focussed on its existing exploration and mining tenements in the Tapajos region of Para, Brazil. The Company's exploration programmes during the next 12 months cover:

Increasing the mineral resource in the immediate vicinity of its existing Palito and Sao Chico mining operations;
Drilling and evaluation of the strike extensions of the gold mineralisation at both Palito and Sao Chico including the Cinderella zone to the south east of Sao Chico;
Further drilling and evaluation of the Sao Domingo's tenement areas acquired by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2020;
Initial drilling of the Calico prospect, located five kilometres to the south of Palito;
Further evaluation of the Mata Cobra area which is a large east to west trending magnetic feature extending for over 14 kilometres. A regional geochemical sampling campaign in and around this Mata Cobra belt, has enhanced the prospectivity by the identification of an eight kilometre by two kilometre copper anomaly with analytical results over 100ppm, coincidental with the geophysical anomaly identified by the airborne EM. The Calico prospect lies within the contours of this 100ppm copper anomaly.

Any funds raised in the Warrant Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer will also be used for these purposes and general working capital.

Information to Distributors on the Placing

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, as respectively defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners and Beacon will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the value of the Warrants and the new Ordinary Shares into which they may convert may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Warrants offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Warrants is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Warrant Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners and Beacon will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Warrants.

The Placing Shares and the Warrants are being sold in Canada in reliance on an exemption or exemptions from the requirements to provide the relevant Placees with a prospectus and, as a consequence of acquiring securities pursuant to this exemption or exemptions, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by the applicable Canadian securities laws will not be available to the relevant Placee.

The Placee is solely responsible (and Company not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable securities laws in the resale of any Placing Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

This Announcement has been issued by, and is the sole responsibility of, the Company. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by either of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their or their respective Affiliates' directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers as to or in relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or any other written or oral information made available to or publicly available to any party or its advisers, and any liability therefore is expressly disclaimed.

The Joint Bookrunners and the Manager are acting exclusively for the Company and no-one else in connection with the Placings and are not, and will not be, responsible to anyone (including the Placees) other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their clients nor for providing advice in relation to the Placings and/or any other matter referred to in this Announcement.

None of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager nor their respective Affiliates, nor any of their, or their respective Affiliates', directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers, makes any representation or warranty, express or implied to any Placees regarding any investment in the securities referred to in this Announcement under the laws applicable to such Placees. Each Placee should consult its own advisers as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of an investment in the Placing Shares and/or Warrants.

By participating in the Placing or the Placing and the Warrant Placing, Placees (including individuals, funds or otherwise) by whom or on whose behalf a commitment to acquire Placing Shares or Placing Shares and Warrants has been given will (i) be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement, in its entirety; and (ii) be making such offer on the terms and conditions contained in this Appendix, including being deemed to be providing (and shall only be permitted to participate in the Placing on the basis that they have provided) the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgements and undertakings set out herein.

(c) if it is a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 2(d) of the Prospectus Regulation or the UK Prospectus Regulation, as applicable, that it understands the resale and transfer restrictions set out in this Appendix and that any Placing Shares acquired by it in the Placing and any Warrants acquired by it in the Warrant Placing will not be acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor will they be acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of securities to the public other than an offer or resale in a member state of the EEA to EEA Qualified Investors or in the United Kingdom to Relevant Persons, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the Joint Bookrunners has been given to each such proposed offer or resale.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLACEES ONLY REGARDING THE PLACINGS

Defined terms used in this Appendix 1 are set out in Appendix 2.

Bookbuild

Following the release of this Announcement, the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager will commence an accelerated bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing and in respect of the Warrant Placing (the "Bookbuilds" and each a Bookbuild) to determine demand for participation in the Placings by Placees. The books will open with immediate effect following release of this Announcement. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares or Warrants. Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Placing or the Warrant Placing. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placings.

The Joint Bookrunners, the Manager and the Company shall be entitled to effect each of the Placings by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their absolute discretion, determine. To the extent that the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager do not procure subscribers for Placing Shares or Warrants, the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager will not be required itself to subscribe for such shares or warrants.

Details of the Placing Agreement, the Placing Shares and the Warrants

The Joint Bookrunners and the Manager are acting as placement agents in connection with the Placings. The Joint Bookrunners and the Manager have entered into an agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the conditions set out therein, the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager have agreed, as agents for the Company, severally to use reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for Placing Shares at a price of £0.75 (C$1.32) per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") and for warrants on the Warrant Subscription Date at a subscription price of £0.06 (C$0.11) per warrant (“Warrant Subscription Price”) such warrants having an exercise price of £0.9375 (C$1.65) per new ordinary share, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events (“Exercise Price”) and an exercise period of two years from their date of issue (“Warrants”) . The number of Placing Shares in the Placing and the number of Warrants in the Warrant Placing will be determined following completion of the Bookbuilds and set out in a term sheet to be entered into between Joint Bookrunners and the Company (the "Term Sheet"). The final number of Placing Shares and Warrants and their respective allocations will be decided at the close of the Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the books will be at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. Details of the number of Placing Shares and Warrants will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuilds.

The Placing Shares have been or will be duly authorised and will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares (as defined below), including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Ordinary Shares after their date of issue. The Placing Shares will be issued free of any encumbrances, liens or other security interests.

The Placing will be effected by way of a placing of new Ordinary Shares in the Company for non-cash consideration. Peel Hunt will subscribe for ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares in Project Angus (Jersey) Limited ("JerseyCo"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for an amount approximately equal to the gross proceeds of the Placing. The Company will allot and issue the Placing Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis to Placees in consideration for the transfer to the Company by Peel Hunt of the ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares in JerseyCo that will be issued to Peel Hunt. Following such transfer (and any equivalent transfer in respect of the PrimaryBid Offer), the Company will own all of the issued ordinary and redeemable preference shares of JerseyCo, whose only asset will be its cash reserves, which will represent an amount approximately equal to the gross proceeds of the Placing (less any costs deducted by Peel Hunt, or amounts set-off by Peel Hunt in respect of defaulting placees) (and the gross proceeds of the PrimaryBid Offer).

In addition to the Placings, the Company intends to make an offer on the Primary Bid platform of new Ordinary Shares, the PrimaryBid Offer Shares at the Placing Price. The PrimaryBid Offer is conditional on the Placing but the Placing is not conditional on the PrimaryBid Offer. The Joint Bookrunners and the Manager are acting as placement agents only in connection with the Placing and are not acting for any person, including the Company in respect of the PrimaryBid Offer.

The Placing is not conditional upon the PrimaryBid Offer or the Warrant Placing. The Warrant Placing is conditional amongst other things on the Placing and upon Shareholder approval.

Application for Admission to Trading on AIM and Listing on the TSX

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange plc ("LSE") for the Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the LSE ("AIM") ("Admission"). Application has also been made to list the Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Offer Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 am on 9 March 2021 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners, provided that such date is no later than the Long Stop Date). The listing of the Placing Shares on the TSX is expected to occur prior to the commencement of trading on the date of Admission.

The Warrants will not be transferable and will not be listed on AIM, the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other exchange or market.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placings

The Joint Bookrunners and the Manager are arranging the Placings severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, as agents of the Company. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by either of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager. Participation in the Warrant Placing will only be available to persons who are invited to participate in the Placing and such persons may purchase one half a warrant for each Placing Share subscribed for (rounded down to the nearest whole warrant). Each of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager and their respective Affiliates are entitled to enter bids as principal in the Bookbuilds.
The Bookbuilds, if successful, will establish the number of Placing Shares and Warrants which will be included in the Placings. The number of Placing Shares and Warrants and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Placings will be agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the Bookbuilds.
To bid in a Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at one of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to acquire and whether and if so the number of Warrants which the prospective Placee wishes to acquire which shall not be greater than half of the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to acquire. Bids in either or both Bookbuilds may be scaled down by the Joint Bookrunners on the basis referred to in paragraph 6 below.
The Bookbuilds are expected to close no later than 12:00 noon (London time) on 2 March 2021, being the first Business Day after date of this Announcement, 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 relevant Bookbuild has closed.
Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees either orally or by email by the relevant Joint Bookrunner or the Manager following the close of the Bookbuild, and a contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. Subject to paragraph 7 below, the relevant Joint Bookrunner's or the Manager’s oral confirmation to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of such Joint Bookrunner or the Manager and the Company, under which such Placee agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares and Warrants allocated to it and to pay the Placing Price and the Warrant Subscription Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix.
Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Joint Bookrunners will, in effecting the Placings, agree with the Company the identity of the Placees and the basis of allocation of the Placing Shares and Warrants and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine. The Joint Bookrunners may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 2 and 3 above and subject to the prior consent of the Company, (i) allocate Placing Shares and/or Warrants after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time and (ii) allocate Placing Shares and/or Warrants after the relevant Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.
A bid in a 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 Joint Bookrunners’ and the Company'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 or the Manager, to pay it (or its assignee or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to acquire and amount equal to the product of the Warrant Subscription Price and the number of warrants that such Placee has agreed to acquire. Such Placees' obligations will be owed to the relevant Joint Bookrunner or the Manager.
Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by any of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager 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.
Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing(s) is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares and where applicable Warrants to be acquired pursuant to the Placings will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and settlement".
All obligations under the Bookbuilds and the Placings will be subject to satisfaction, fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and “Conditions of the Warrant Placing” and to the Placing not being terminated and in the case of the Warrants, the Warrant Placing not being terminated, in each case on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing Agreement".
By participating in a Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placings or the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee after confirmation (oral or otherwise) by one of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager.
To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability 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 Manager, nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners' or the Manager’s conduct of the Bookbuilds (or either of them) or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing or Warrant Placing as the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager, their respective Affiliates and the Company may agree or determine.

Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

Neither of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective Affiliates' directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers 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 it or another person 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 and/or the Warrant Placing nor for any decision it may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of a Placing generally and by participating in a Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

Termination of the Placing Agreement

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

the occurrence of a market disruption or force majeure events, each as specified in the Placing Agreement.

The Joint Bookrunners are entitled at any time following Admission but before the issue of the Warrants, to terminate the Placing Agreement in respect of the Warrant Placing in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including, inter alia, if:

the occurrence of a market disruption or force majeure events, each as specified in the Placing Agreement.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Joint Bookrunners of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners or for agreement between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners need make any reference to, or undertake any consultation with, Placees and that neither they nor any of their respective Affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

No prospectus

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by the FCA (or any other authority) in relation to the Placing or the Warrant Placing, and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of publicly available information taken together with the information contained in this Announcement and any Exchange Information (as defined below) previously published by or on behalf of the Company simultaneously with or prior to the date of this Announcement and subject to the further terms set forth in the contract note (referred to in paragraph 5 above under "Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placings") to be provided to individual prospective Placees.

Each Placee, by participating in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement and the publicly available information released by or on behalf of the Company is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms to the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager and the Company that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company (other than publicly available information) or the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager or their respective Affiliates or any other person and none of the Joint Bookrunners nor the Manager nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placings (or either of them) based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). By participating in the Placing or the Placing and the Warrant Placing, each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in making an offer to participate in the Placing or the Placing and the Warrant Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Lock-up

The Company has undertaken to the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager that, between the date of the Placing Agreement and 90 calendar days after Admission, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager, enter into certain transactions involving or relating to the Ordinary Shares, other than pursuant to the Placing and the Warrant Placing, subject to certain customary carve-outs agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company.

By participating in the Placing or the Placing and the Warrant Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager of any power to grant consent to waive the undertaking by the Company of a transaction which would otherwise be subject to the lock-up under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager 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: GB00BG5NDX91) following Admission will take place within the relevant system administered by Euroclear ("CREST"), using the delivery versus payment mechanism, subject to certain exceptions. Subject to certain exceptions, the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager and the Company reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not practicable in CREST within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Following the close of the Bookbuild for the Placing, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing and, where applicable Warrants in the Warrant Placing will be sent a contract note stating the number of Placing Shares to be allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager and settlement instructions. Placees should settle against CREST ID: 871 in respect of the Placing Shares. Where a Placee is allocated Warrants, the contract note will state the number of Warrants to be allocated to it at the Warrant Subscription Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager and settlement instructions. It is expected that such contract note will be despatched on or around 2 March 2021 and that this will also be the trade date.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment for any Placing Shares is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the relevant Joint Bookrunner or the Manager. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment in respect of any Warrants allocated to it will completed in the manner notified to it by the relevant Joint Bookrunner or the Manager.

The Company will deliver the Placing Shares to a CREST account operated by Peel Hunt as agent for the Company and Peel Hunt will enter its delivery (DEL) instruction into the CREST system. Peel Hunt will hold any Placing Shares delivered to this account as nominee for the Placees. 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 of the Placing Shares will be on 9 March 2021 on a T+5 basis in accordance with the instructions given by the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager.

Settlement of the Warrants will, subject amongst other things on the passing of the Shareholder Resolutions take place on the date of the issue of the Warrants which is expected to be 2 Business Days after the passing of the Shareholder Resolutions. Settlement of the Warrants will be in certificated form unless otherwise agreed with the relevant Joint Bookrunner or Manager.

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 LIBOR as determined by the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due or, in the case of the Warrant Subscription Price, refuse to issue or cancel the relevant warrant. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and shall be required to bear any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other stamp, securities, transfer, registration, execution, documentary or other similar impost, duty or tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. If a Placee fails to make payment for Placing Shares allocated to that Placee, the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager may assign their rights and powers under this Appendix against such defaulting Placee to JerseyCo without notice to the relevant Placee. The foregoing is without prejudice to any cause of action the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager may have against a defaulting Placee.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the 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 to as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (and/or any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or for the avoidance of doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), neither of the Joint Bookrunners nor the Manager nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof.

if required by applicable Canadian securities laws (including any rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange), it will execute, deliver and file or assist the Company in filing such reports, undertakings and other documents relating to the purchase of the Placing Shares or Warrants as may be required; and
that each of the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager and their respective Affiliates may have engaged in transactions with, and provided various commercial banking, investment banking, financial advisory transactions and services in the ordinary course of their business with the Company and/or its Affiliates for which they would have received customary fees and commissions and that each of the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager and their respective Affiliates may provide such services to the Company and/or its Affiliates in the future.

The foregoing acknowledgements, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties and confirmations are given for the benefit of the Company as well as each of the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager (for their own benefit and, where relevant, the benefit of their respective Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf) and are irrevocable. Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of a Placee, acknowledges that neither of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager or the Company owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

Please also note that the agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as nominee or agent) free of UK stamp duty and UK stamp duty reserve tax relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents or nominees, direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. None of the Company or the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager will be responsible for any UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest and penalties relating thereto) arising in relation to the Placing Shares in any other circumstances.

Such agreement is subject to the representations, warranties and further terms above and also assumes, and is based on a warranty from each Placee, that the Placing Shares and Warrants are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares or Warrants into a clearance service. Neither of the Joint Bookrunners nor the Manager nor the Company are liable to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or any other similar duties or taxes ("transfer taxes") that arise (i) if there are any such arrangements (or if any such arrangements arise subsequent to the acquisition by Placees of Placing Shares or Warrants) or (ii) on a sale of Placing Shares, or (iii) for transfer taxes arising otherwise than under the laws of the United Kingdom. Each Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares or Warrants has given rise to such transfer taxes undertakes to pay such transfer taxes forthwith, and agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager, the Company, their respective Affiliates and any person acting on any of their respective behalf harmless from any such transfer taxes, and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to such transfer taxes. Each Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such transfer tax liability arises.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and agrees that either of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager or any of their respective Affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or Warrants. Each Placee acknowledges and is aware that the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager are receiving a fee in connection with their role in respect of the Placings as detailed in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager, any money held in an account with either of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager 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 rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The 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 Joint Bookrunners' or the Manager’s money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the Joint Bookrunners and the Manager in the course of its own business, and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. Either of the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

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 rights and remedies of the Joint Bookrunners, the Manager and the Company under these Terms and Conditions 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.

If a Placee is a discretionary fund manager, the Placee may be asked to disclose in writing or orally to the Joint Bookrunners or the Manager the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.

Glossary of Technical Terms

The following is a glossary of technical terms:

Note: Mineral resources and reserves were estimated in conformity with the widely accepted CIM Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves Best Practices Guidelines (the "Guidelines") and are reported in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101" and the definitions applicable to individual categories of reserves and resources are set out in the Guidelines. The Glossary below includes only a summary of these definitions and readers can access the full definitions at http://web.cim.org/standards/menupage.cfm?sections=177&menu=178

"Au" means gold.

"CIM" means Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.

"development" - excavations used to establish access to the mineralised rock and other workings.

"grade" is the concentration of mineral within the host rock typically quoted as grams per tonne (g/t), parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb).

"g/t" means grams per tonne.

"Indicated Mineral Resource‟ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.

"Inferred Mineral Resource‟ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

"Measured Mineral Resource‟ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.

"Mineral Resource" is a concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.

"Mineral Reserve" is the economically mineable part of a Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This Study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A Mineral Reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined.

"Probable Mineral Reserve" is the economically mineable part of an Indicated and, in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. This Study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.

"Proven Mineral Reserve" is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors.

"t" means tonnes

"Vein" is a generic term to describe an occurrence of mineralised rock within an area of non-mineralised rock.
