SECTION B – KEY INFORMATION ON THE ISSUER

Who is the issuer of the securities?

Domicile and legal form

The Company is a public company limited by shares, incorporated on 18 September 2017 in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") with an indefinite life and with company number 10966847 and LEI, 213800UXIHBIRK36GG11.

Principal activities

The Company is developing the Orom-Cross graphite project in Uganda ("Orom-Cross" or the "Project") in Uganda. The Company owns and operates 100 per cent. of the share capital of Consolidated African Resources (Uganda) Ltd ("Consolidated African (Uganda)"). The Company's principal activity through Consolidated African (Uganda) is to develop the Project to produce graphite concentrate. The Company is currently completing a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") prior to completing the project financing and commissioning of the Project.

The Company commenced the DFS in 2023 and on 27 April 2023 announced it had engaged with the US Government backed, Development Finance Corporation ("DFC"), a US Government agency that funds private sector projects to source critical metals, with the DFC to become a strategic funding partner for the Project.

The DFC proposal included providing a Technical Assistance Grant ("TAG") to co-fund certain work for the DFS and to have the right of first refusal to lead the project financing of the Project. On 22 September 2023 the Company announced that it had signed the TAG which provided funding of up to \$5,000,000 ("DFC Grant Agreement"). The Company has received a total of \$3,500,000 since the initial tranche was received in October 2023. Four tranches of this TAG have been received to date, for US\$3,500,000 and the Company anticipates receiving the balance of US\$1,500,000 with \$500,000 by the end of this year and the balance of \$1,000,000 prior to completion of the DFS.

On 6 February 2024 the Company announced a subscription by a specialist African investor to subscribe for 7,847,000 Ordinary Shares at 5 pence per Ordinary Share raising gross proceeds of £392,350. The new investor undertook substantial due diligence on the Project and this was viewed as an initial investment with further funding to follow as the relationship was built. As at the date of this Document, the investor holds 3.4% of the Existing Share Capital.

On 22 July 2024, the Company announced the completion of a placing and admission to trading of 9,191,520 new Ordinary Shares at 5 pence per Ordinary Share to raise gross proceeds of £459,639.

The Company also announced that it had reached agreement with various contractors, consultants, and industrial partners to the Project to issue 25,721,250 new Ordinary Shares ("Fee Shares") at the issue price of 5 pence in lieu of fees accrued and owing by the Company. The Company will issue 20,030,000 ordinary shares on Admission and 3,691,250 ordinary shares subject to Resolutions at the GM. The issue of the Fee Shares has saved the Company expending cash of £1,286,062 with regard to key aspects of the DFS programme whilst ensuring that are key partners are aligned with the shareholders of the Company.

On 6 November 2024 the Company announced a fundraise of £1,500,000 through the issue of 37,500,000 new Ordinary Shares at 4 pence per share ("Fundraise"). The Fundraise comprises a £1,000,000 placing of 25,000,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Firm Placing") arranged through its broker Tavira Financial ("Tavira") and a conditional £500,000 subscription for 12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares from senior management ("November Subscription"). The November Subscription is subject to the publication of this Document and Admission. The Firm Placing was admitted to trading on 12 November 2024.

What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer?

Brief description of the most material risk factors specific to the issuer contained in the prospectus.

Working Capital

The Company is of the opinion that, taking into account the existing cash resources of the Company and the Net Proceeds from the July Subscription and November Subscription, the working capital available to the Company is insufficient for its present requirements that is for at least 12 months from the date of this Document ("Working Capital Period").

The Company had originally budgeted \$10m to complete the DFS, however, following recent consultation with the DFC the Company will now pursue a larger mining operation thus requiring additional drilling to build further inventory of mineral resources ("Expanded DFS"). Therefore, as a result of additional drilling forming part of the Expanded DFS the budget for the Expanded DFS has increased to \$12m, an increase of \$2m (£1.5m) which had been budgeted to complete the DFS. The Company will complete the Expanded DFS for the increased budget of £1.5m in H1 2025. In addition, the Company has also budgeted a further £1m for general working capital. Therefore the Board estimates that the total amount of additional working capital required during the Working Capital Period is £2.5m.

The Company has carefully designed a budget of £2.5m to be financed from a combination of capital raised by the Company and drawing down the next 2 tranches of the TAG from the DFC. The Company will finance the Expanded DFS budget of £1.5m from existing cash resources and Net Proceeds of the July and November Subscription which is approximately £1.6m. The Company estimates that it will have a working capital shortfall of approximately £0.9m and expects to meet the shortfall by drawing down the tranches of TAG from the DFC which amount to \$1.5m (£1.1m). The Company expects to receive the next TAG tranche of \$0.5m from the DFC before 31 December 2024 and the balance tranche of \$1m in H1 2025, in accordance with the tranche milestones set by the DFC.

If the DFC TAG funds are not received, the Company would be required to raise further capital to meet its working capital shortfall of £0.9m. The Company has complete control on the timing of cash expenditures and has no contractual obligations to spend capital on the Expanded DFS. Therefore, if the DFC funds are delayed or are not received, the Company could delay the completion of the Expanded DFS. The DFC has to date provided \$3.5m of funding under the DFC Grant Agreement which provides for set tranches of funding to be made available on satisfaction of milestones to be achieved by the Company and the Company are in regular dialogue with the DFC regarding forthcoming grant proceeds and know of no reason why future tranches of the TAG payments will not occur.

Also, if the Company were required to raise further capital, the Board is confident it would receive the support of its shareholders as it has done in several recent fundraisings, so that any delay to the Expanded DFS as a result would be immaterial. In the event that the Company failed to raise further capital, it would be required to delay the completion of the Expanded DFS to preserve cash resources and general working capital which would consequently delay the ability of the Company to commence project finance discussions and ultimately production at Orom-Cross.

Title and Licence Risk – While the Group has investigated its title to, and rights and interests in, the Project Licences making up the Orom-Cross Project, and to the best of its knowledge, such title and interests are in good standing, this should not be construed as a guarantee of the same. Title to the Orom-Cross Project may be subject to undetected defects. If a defect does exist it is possible that the Group may lose all or part of its interest in the Orom-Cross Project. On 6 September 2023 Consolidated African (Uganda) submitted an application to the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines for the renewal of the Exploration Licences. Whilst Consolidated African (Uganda) has not received confirmation of the renewal of any or all of the Exploration Licences, all of the conditions required for the renewal of the Exploration Licences have been satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the Mining Act and the Directors know of no reason that would prevent any or all of the Exploration Licences being renewed. However, Consolidated African (Uganda) cannot state with any certainty when any or all of the Exploration Licences will be renewed. If the remainder of the Exploration Licences were not renewed, the Company may not be able to further expand the Orom-Cross Project.

DFS Risk – Only a portion of the Orom-Cross Project has been explored to date. The Group prepared a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the Orom-Cross Project which was published in October 2021 and which was the first full commercial study of the Orom-Cross Project. However, the PEA was an internally generated report and model that utilised the information, source data and experience within the Company to put together a full mining operation and the associated outcomes. The Company completed a more detailed Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") in July 2022, which outlined the commercial viability of the mining operation at Orom-Cross, and formed the basis for the final Definitive Feasibility Study in 2023. The Company commenced the DFS programme in 2023, which programme may change, be delayed and cost more than budgeted, which would delay the ability of the Company to progress to the project financing and ultimately the construction of the mine. Any unforeseen time or cost overruns may require the Company to raise further capital and dilute current shareholders.

Revenue Generation – The development and success of the Project will be primarily dependent on the future prices of graphite and the demand for graphite. The graphite prices are subject to significant fluctuation and are affected by a number of factors which are beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include, but are not limited to exchange rates, fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and political and economic conditions. The price of graphite and other commodities have fluctuated widely in recent years, and future price declines could cause any future development of and commercial production from the Group's property to be impracticable for the foreseeable future.

Financing – The Company is likely to remain cash flow negative for some time and, although the Directors have confidence in the future revenue earning potential of the Group from its interests in the Orom-Cross Project, there can be no certainty that the Group will achieve or sustain revenue, profitability or positive cash flow from its operating activities. The Expanded DFS programme is anticipated to cost approximately US\$12m and shall be funded by the Company and the DFC. The Company will need to raise further capital outside of the Working Capital Period until such time that it has commenced generating cash from mining operations.

Country Risk – the Project is located in Uganda and the Company's activities may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and governmental regulations. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes in Uganda or any other countries in which the Group may operate are beyond the control of the Group and may adversely affect its operations. The Company will be seeking to complete the project financing of the Project in the foreseeable future, therefore any adverse country risk may be detrimental to the ability of the Company to raise such funds and fully develop the mine.

Exploration and Development activities – Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk. Many licences which are explored ultimately fail to be developed into producing mines. Success in defining mineral resources and reserves is the result of a number of factors, including the level of geological and technical expertise, the quality of land available for exploration and other factors. Once mineralisation is discovered, it may take several years of drilling and development until production is possible during which time the economic feasibility of production may change.

Currency risk – While the sale of graphite is principally in US Dollars throughout the world, a portion of the Group's expenses incurred in connection with the Orom-Cross Project will be in the local currency of Uganda, the Ugandan shilling. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operation or cash flow of the Group.

Why is this prospectus being produced?

Reasons for the Subscription and Admission

The Company is conducting the Subscription to fund the DFS programme and for general working capital.

Use and estimated amount of Net Proceeds

The Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £659,000 from the July and November Subscription. After deducting Transaction Costs of approximately £80,000 the Company expects to receive Net Proceeds of approximately £579,000. The Company has cash resources of approximately £1,100,000 at LPD, therefore, after Admission, the Company will have cash resources of approximately £1,679,000.

The Company is of the opinion that, taking into account the Net Proceeds of the Subscription, the working capital available to the Company is insufficient for its present requirements that is for at least 12 months from the date of this Document ("Working Capital Period").

The Company intends to use its existing cash resources of approximately £1,100,000 as at the date of this Document and the estimated Net Proceeds of the Subscription of approximately £579,000 to fund the following:

	£000's
DFS	1,200,000
General working capital	479,000
Total Net Proceeds and existing cash resources	£1,679,000

The Company will issue, subject to Admission and subject to the passing of Resolutions at the GM, Fee Shares to the value of £1,286,062 which will be partially attributable to meeting future costs in the DFS.

Indication of whether the offer is subject to an underwriting agreement

The July and November Subscription is not being underwritten. The Company has procured irrevocable conditional commitments to subscribe for the full amount the Subscription Shares.

Indication of the most material conflicts of interests pertaining to the offer or admission to trading

There are no material conflicts of interest pertaining to the July and November Subscription, issue of the Fee Shares or Admission.

Art 7, 8(c)

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in the Ordinary Shares carries a significant degree of risk, including risks in relation to the Company's business strategy, potential conflicts of interest, risks relating to taxation and risks relating to the Ordinary Shares. The Company is focused on exploration and development of the Orom-Cross Project in the Republic of Uganda.

Ax3 (3.1) Ax12 (2.1)

Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to the Ordinary Shares, the Company and the sector in which it operates summarised in the section of this Document headed "Summary" are the risks that the Directors believe to be the most essential to an assessment by a prospective investor of whether to consider an investment in the Ordinary Shares. However, as the risks which the Company faces relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, prospective investors should consider not only the information on the key risks summarised in the section of this Document headed "Summary" but also, among other things, the risks and uncertainties described below.

The exploration for and development of natural resources are speculative activities that involve a high degree of financial risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider all the information in this Document including the risks described below. The risks referred to below are those risks the Directors consider to be the material risks at the date of this Document. However, there may be additional risks that the Directors do not currently consider to be material or of which the Directors are not currently aware, that may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Investors should review this Document carefully (and in its entirety) and consult with their professional advisers before acquiring any Ordinary Shares. If any of the risks referred to in this Document were to occur, the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company could be materially adversely affected. If that were to be the case, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares and/or the level of dividends or distributions (if any) received from the Ordinary Shares could decline significantly. Furthermore, investors could lose all or part of their investment.

1. RISKS RELATING TO WORKING CAPITAL

Working Capital

Also, if the Company were required to raise further capital, the Board is confident it would receive the support of its shareholders as it has done in several recent fundraisings, so that any delay to the Expanded DFS as a result would be immaterial. In the event that the Company failed to raise further capital, it would be required to delay the completion of the Expanded DFS to preserve cash resources and general working capital which would then impact the speed of developing the Project through project financing and ultimately into production.

2. RISKS RELATING TO THE OROM-CROSS PROJECT

2.1 Title and License risk

While the Group has investigated its title to, and rights and interests in, the Project Licences making up the Orom-Cross Project, and to the best of its knowledge, such title and interests are in good standing, this should not be construed as a guarantee of the same. Title to the Orom-Cross Project may be subject to undetected defects. If a defect does exist it is possible that the Group may lose all or part of its interest in the Orom-Cross Project.

On 6 September 2023 Consolidated African (Uganda) submitted an application to the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines for the renewal of the Exploration Licences and the Company has not been provided with a definitive timeline to complete the renewal of the Licences. Whilst Consolidated African (Uganda) has not received confirmation of the renewal of any or all of the Exploration Licences, all of the conditions required for the renewal of the Exploration Licences have been satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the Mining Act and the Directors know of no reason that would prevent any or all of the Exploration Licences being renewed. Consolidated African (Uganda) are in regular contact with GSMD with regards to the renewal of the Exploration Licenses but the Directors cannot state with any certainty when any or all of the Exploration Licences will be renewed. In accordance with the provisions of the Mining Act, Consolidated African (Uganda) have priority rights over the areas covered by the Exploration Licences due to having submitted the applications for renewal. In the event that Licence EL00076 is not renewed the Company would need to re-assess the scale and nature of the Orom-Cross Project and, if applicable, amend the DFS work programme accordingly. If the remainder of the Exploration Licences were not renewed, the Company may not be able to further expand the Orom-Cross Project in the event that the areas covered by those Exploration Licences were found to contain commercially viable mineralisations.

2.2 Mineral, metallurgical and geological risks

Only a portion of the Orom-Cross Project has been explored to date. The Group prepared a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") of the Orom-Cross Project which was published in October 2022 and which was the first full commercial study of the Orom-Cross Project. However, the PFS is a preliminary and internally generated report and model that utilised the information, source data and experience within the Company to put together a full mining operation and the associated outcomes. The Company commenced a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") programme in 2023 which aims to further refine the PFS and is expected to be completed by 1Q 2025. The DFS programme requires input from a number of consultants and external agencies. The DFS programme may be delayed and cost more than budgeted which would delay the ability of the Company to progress the project financing and ultimately the construction of the mine. Any unforeseen time or cost overruns may require the Company to raise further capital and dilute current shareholders.

In the DFS the Company is refining its economic and mining assumptions further and aiming to optimize the economic results of the Project. This study will be signed off by an experienced independent engineering firm. In the event the DFS results are not attractive the Company may find it difficult to source project financing to build the mine and result in further time and cost delays which may require the Company to raise further capital and dilute current shareholders.

2.3 Impact of environmental and social issues affecting the Orom-Cross Project

Although the Company has progressed the Orom-Cross Project and published the PFS and has contracted a third party to undertake the DFS, the development of the Project is still at an early stage and further consideration will need to be given to environmental and social issues affecting the Orom-Cross Project as full development is undertaken. Environmental and safety legislation (e.g. in relation to reclamation, disposal of waste products, protection of wildlife and otherwise relating to environmental protection) may change in a manner that may require stricter or additional standards than those now in effect, a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors and employees and more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations. There may also be unforeseen environmental liabilities resulting from both future and historic exploration or mining activities, which may be costly to remedy. Potential environmental liabilities as a result of unfulfilled environmental obligations by the previous owners may impact the Group. Risks may include on-site sources of environmental contamination such as oil and fuel from the mining equipment and rehabilitation of the site upon expiry of the Project Licenses. Under Ugandan law the Company is required to rehabilitate the area affected by the mining activities, accordingly there will be a potential cost associated with undertaking this obligation. It is currently unknown what this could be but the funding of this could have a material impact on the Group's financial position in the future.

If the Group is unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it may be required to stop or suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Group.

The Group has not purchased insurance for environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) as it is not generally available at a price which the Group regards as reasonable.

3. RISKS RELATING TO MINERAL, COMMODITIES AND EXPLORATION

3.1 Revenue generation and Graphite prices

The development and success of any project of the Group will be primarily dependent on the future prices of graphite. The graphite prices are subject to fluctuation and are affected by a number of factors which are beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include, but are not limited to exchange rates, fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and political and economic conditions. The price of graphite and other commodities have fluctuated in recent years, and future price declines could cause any future development of and commercial production from the Group's property to be impracticable. The Company does not expect to generate revenue in the medium term and will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future until the mine is built and produces graphite. Projected cash flow from planned mining operations is dependent upon the price of graphite and as such may not be sufficient for future operations and the Group could be forced to discontinue any further development and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some or all of its properties. Future production from the Orom-Cross Project is dependent on the production of graphite that is adequate to make the project economic.

3.2 Financing

The Group is likely to remain cash flow negative for some time and, although the Directors have confidence in the future revenue earning potential of the Group from its interests in the Orom-Cross Project, there can be no certainty that the Group will achieve or sustain revenue, profitability or positive cash flow from its operating activities. The Expanded DFS programme is anticipated to cost approximately US\$12m and shall be funded by the Company and the DFC.

With regards to future capital expenditure on the Orom-Cross Project, the Company will be require to raise additional capital beyond the Working Capital Period to continue funding the future development of the Orom-Cross Project. The quantum of any future capital raise relating to capital expenditure to build the mine will be dependent on the results of the DFS to be published in early 2025. The Company will be completing the project financing following the completion of the DFS and expects to fund the project through a combination of equity and debt.

Future mineral prices, revenues, taxes, capital expenditures and operating expenses and geological success will all be factors which will have an impact on the amount of additional capital required. Additionally, if the Group acquires further exploration assets or is granted additional permits and/or exploration licenses, this may increase its financial commitments in respect of the Group's exploration activities.

Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed, it could result in a delay or indefinite postponement of future exploration and development activities at the Group's license areas.

3.3 Exploration and development risks

Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk. Many licences which are explored ultimately fail to be developed into producing mines. Success in defining mineral resources and reserves is the result of a number of factors, including the level of geological and technical expertise, the quality of land available for exploration and other factors. Once mineralisation is discovered, it may take several years of drilling and development until production is possible during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. The economics of developing mineral properties are affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in the price of heavy minerals, fluctuations in exchange rates, costs of development, infrastructure and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. In addition, the grade of mineralisation ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material.

The Group will continue to rely upon consultants and others for exploration and development expertise, including in respect of undertaking the DFS. Substantial expenditures are required to establish further resources and reserves through drilling, to develop mineral processes to extract the product from the resource and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that the minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and/or quality to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The economics of developing mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of the resource mined, fluctuations in mineral markets, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that mineral exploration and development of the Group's properties will result in profitable commercial operations.

3.4 Operating risks

The activities of the Group will be subject to usual hazards and risks normally associated with exploring and developing natural resource projects. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labour disputes, encountering unusual or unexpected geologic formations or other geological or grade problems, unanticipated changes in metallurgical characteristics and mineral recovery, encountering unanticipated ground or water conditions, cave-ins, pit wall failures, flooding, rock bursts, periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and other acts of God or unfavourable operating conditions and losses. Should any of these risks and hazards affect the Group's exploration, development or mining activities, it may cause the cost of production to increase to a point where it would no longer be economic to produce mineral resources from the Group's properties, require the Company to write-down the carrying value of one or more mineral projects, cause delays or a stoppage of mining and processing, result in the destruction of mineral properties or processing facilities, cause death or personal injury and related legal liability; any and all of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability, result in increasing costs or the loss of assets and a decline in the value of the Company's securities.

3.5 Commodity and currency risk

As the Company's potential earnings will be largely derived from the sale of graphite, the Company's future revenues and cash flows will be impacted by changes in the prices and available market for this commodity. Any substantial decline in the price of graphite or in transport or distribution costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include current and expected future supply and demand, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major mineral producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates. Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars while the Company cost base will be in Pounds Sterling and Ugandan shilling. Consequently, changes in the Pound Sterling and Ugandan Shilling exchange rates will impact on the earnings of the Company. The exchange rates are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including international markets, interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

3.6 Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources

Even though a mineral resource has been discovered at the Orom-Cross Project and the PFS reported good results, estimates in respect of that resource are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally made may change appreciably when further information becomes available. Such resource estimates are by nature imprecise, depending on interpretations which may, with further exploration, prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, should the Group encounter ore bodies or formations which differ from those suggested by past sampling and analysis, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and any production plans altered accordingly which may adversely impact the Group's plans.

3.7 Environmental regulation

Environmental and safety legislation (e.g. in relation to reclamation, disposal of waste products, protection of wildlife and otherwise relating to environmental protection) may change in a manner that may require stricter or additional standards than those now in effect, a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors and employees and more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations. There may also be unforeseen environmental liabilities resulting from exploration or mining activities, which may be costly to remedy. If the Group is unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it may be required to stop or suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Group. The Group has not purchased insurance for environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) as it is not generally available at a price which the Group regards as reasonable.

3.8 Competition

The mining industry is competitive in all of its phases. The Group faces strong competition from other companies in connection with the acquisition of mineral properties producing, or capable of producing, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. Larger companies, in particular, may have access to greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than the Group which may give them a competitive advantage.

3.9 Dependence on key personnel

The Group has a small management team and the loss of a key individual could have an adverse effect on the future of the Group's business. The Group's future success will also depend in large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. There can be no assurance that the Group will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.

3.10 Inability to obtain mining licenses

Whilst the Group holds the Project Licenses, the Group's future exploration activities will continue to be dependent upon the grant of appropriate licenses, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents, which may not be granted or may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. There is no guarantee that, upon completion of any exploration programme, a mining or exploitation license will be granted with respect to the exploration territory. There can also be no assurance that any mining or exploitation license will be issued or renewed and if so, on what terms.

3.11 Location

The successful development of the Orom-Cross Project depends on adequate infrastructure. The region of Uganda in which the Project Licences are located is sparsely populated and some parts of the properties may require additional infrastructure before the Orom-Cross Project can be fully developed. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supplies are important determinants which affect capital and operating costs and the Group's ability to maintain expected levels of progress with its exploration activities. Unusual weather or other natural phenomena, sabotage or government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could impact on the development of the Orom-Cross Project, increase exploration costs or delay the transportation of supplies, equipment or machinery to the Group's properties. Any such issues in respect of the infrastructure supporting or at the Orom-Cross Project could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

3.12 Transportation infrastructure

Central to the Group's ability to become a commercial mining operation is access to a transportation system through which it can transport future production to a port for onward export by sea. The Orom-Cross Project does not benefit from close proximity to the nearest port, which the Group has determined will be the optimal route for production to be transported from the Orom-Cross Project to global customers, although there is an existing road and railway network. Any proposed transportation system, including port facilities, will require obtaining necessary permits or authorisations. In addition, any delays in (i) obtaining the necessary permits and authorisations, (ii) the construction or commissioning of any new port facilities (if required), or (iii) raising finance to fund the infrastructure development, could prevent altogether or impede the Group's ability to export potential heavy mineral production. Any such issues in respect of a transportation system for the Group's product could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects

3.13 Utilities

The Company's ability to develop the Orom-Cross Project will be reliant on the availability of adequate utilities such as power and water. There can be no guarantee that such utilities will be available at an economically viable level.

4. RISKS RELATING TO UGANDA

4.1 Government regulation and political risk

The Orom-Cross Project is located in Uganda and the Company's activities may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and governmental regulations. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes in Uganda or any other countries in which the Group may operate are beyond the control of the Group and may adversely affect its operations.

The Company will be seeking to complete the project financing of the Project in the foreseeable future, therefore any adverse country risk may be detrimental to the ability of the Company to fully develop the mine. The Group's operating activities are subject to laws and regulations governing expropriation of property, health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine development, land and water use, prospecting, mineral production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health standards, toxic wastes, the protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. While the Group believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations affecting its activities, future changes in applicable laws, regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Group or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Group's current operations or planned exploration and development projects. Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licenses can be a complex, time consuming process and the Group cannot assure whether any necessary permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Group from proceeding with any future exploration or development of its properties. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or closure of exploration, development or mining operations or material fines, penalties or other liabilities.

4.2 Terrorism

Uganda has experienced and continues to experience terrorist attacks and occasional civil disorder but this primarily occurs in the south-west of the country, although the capital, Kampala has also been targeted. There can be no assurance that extremists or terrorist groups will not escalate or continue these violent activities in Uganda, or expand their operations to include more targets, and that domestic order and stability will be successfully secured. The effects of any such terrorist activities and security concerns could disrupt the Group's operations or negatively impact the market for the Group's services and could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects as well as investor confidence in investing in Uganda.

4.3 Legal systems

The Project Licenses are granted under and governed by the laws of Uganda and are granted subject to conditions, including minimum annual expenditure commitments and reporting commitments. Similar conditions may be applied to future mining permits acquired by the Company or its subsidiaries. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in forfeiture of the Project Licenses.

Furthermore, the Project Licenses (and any additional future mining permits held by the Group) are subject to periodic renewal. Whist there is no reason to believe that such renewals will not be granted, the Company cannot guarantee that this will occur. New conditions may also be imposed on the Orom-Cross Project Licenses (and any additional future mining permits held by the Group) under the renewal process which may adversely affect the Company.

Uganda may have a have less developed legal system than more established economies which could result in risks such as (i) effective legal redress in the courts, whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute, being more difficult to obtain; (ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities; (iii) the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations; (iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; (v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters and (vi) political interference or corruption in the administration of justice. In certain jurisdictions the commitment of local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to the Group's research permits and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licenses, license applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of government authorities or others and the effectiveness of and enforcement of such arrangements in these jurisdictions cannot be assured.

4.4 Litigation risks

Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the Group's business. There have been a number of cases where the rights and privileges of mining and exploration companies have been the subject of litigation. The Directors cannot preclude that litigation over the Group's rights and privileges may not be brought against the Company in the future from time to time or that it may not be subject to any other form of litigation.

4.5 Geopolitical and Economic Instability

Yoweri Museveni has been president since his forces toppled the previous regime in January 1986. Uganda has held elections every 5 years since 1996; however the first multiparty election was conducted in 2006. Museveni was declared the winning candidate with 59 percent of the votes, amid allegations of rigging and various election irregularities and illegalities. Uganda next held elections in February 2011. On 20 February 2011, the Uganda Electoral Commission declared the incumbent president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the winning candidate of the 2011 elections. The opposition, however, considered the election to be rigged. According to the official results, Museveni won with 68 percent of the votes. The European Union's Election Observation Mission reported on improvements and flaws of the Ugandan electoral process stating it was marred by avoidable administrative and logistical failures. Besigye challenged Museveni's victory in Supreme Court again, but his petition was dismissed and Museveni was confirmed the duly elected president of Uganda. The most recent elections were held in 2016 and Museveni won with approximately 61 percent of the votes. The opposition again challenged Museveni's victory in the Supreme Court, but the court confirmed Meseveni as the duly elected president of Uganda. The most recent presidential elections in Uganda were held on 14 January 2021. Again, Museveni was elected, but there were challenges. In 2021, the opposition politician Bobi Wine (also known as Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu), challenged the election results in the country's Supreme Court seeking to over-turn Museveni's victory. The elections was marred with violence, the European Parliament voiced outrage, condemnation and for sanctions against individuals and organisations responsible for human rights violations in Uganda. While threats to political and economic stability are not considered at this time to be material, there can be no guarantee that this will continue to be the case and any actual or perceived political, civil, religious or economic instability could materially and adversely impact the Group's operations, its financial condition and on the willingness of potential investors to invest in the Company.

5. RISKS RELATING TO THE ORDINARY SHARES

5.1 Dilution of Shareholders' interests

The Company will issue 37,711,260 New Ordinary Shares resulting in an Enlarged Share Capital of 292,076,620. The Existing Share Capital will represent 87% of the Enlarged Share Capital.

The Company may need to raise additional funds to meet expenditure obligations of the Group in relation to the Project Licences falling due after the Working Capital Period or to fund future acquisition or investments made by the Company. Furthermore, the Company may need to raise additional funds in the future to finance its development of the Orom-Cross Project, as well as future investments and/or acquisitions. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of new equity or equity-linked securities of the Company other than on a pro rata basis to existing Shareholders, the percentage ownership of the Shareholders may be reduced, Shareholders may experience subsequent dilution and/or such securities may, subject to Shareholder approval, have preferred rights, options and pre-emption rights senior to the Ordinary Shares. The Directors intend that the Company should be able to issue new Ordinary Shares as consideration for possible acquisitions and/or raise additional working capital for the Company as required. Insofar as such new Ordinary Shares are not offered first to existing Shareholders, then their interests in the Company will be diluted.

The pre-emption rights contained in the Act may be disapplied for Shareholders in certain circumstances and the Company may issue securities or incur substantial debt to raise capital or complete a further acquisition, which may dilute the interests of Shareholders or affect the Company's results of operations (due to increased interest expense) and liquidity.

The Company may in the future issue a substantial number of additional Ordinary Shares or incur substantial indebtedness to raise capital or complete further acquisitions.

If the Company decided to offer additional Ordinary Shares in the future, for example to raise additional funds, this could dilute the interests of investors and/or have an adverse effect on the market price of the Ordinary Shares.

The Company has issued a total of 145,991,805 securities that can be exercised following Admission.

The Company will, upon passing of the Resolutions, have granted, in aggregate, 105,500,555 warrants which can be exercised at a range of prices from 5 pence to 8 pence, and mature from December 2024 until July 2026. If all the warrants were exercised following Admission, the Existing Shareholders would be diluted by 29% and the Enlarged Shareholder on Admission would be diluted by 27%.

The Company will, upon passing of the Resolutions, have granted, in aggregate, 26,100,000 options to the Directors that are exercisable at 5 pence and 6 pence, and have a range of maturity dates from December 2025 until September 2029. If all the Options were exercised following Admission, the Existing Shareholders would be diluted by 9% and the Enlarged Shareholders on Admission would be diluted by 8%.

The Company may, upon passing of the Resolutions, issue up to 10,700,000 DFC Performance Shares that a exercisable at 0.5 pence. The DFC Performance Shares may be issued for a period of 5 years from Admission. If all the DFC Performance Shares were issued following Admission, the Existing Shareholders would be diluted by 4% and the Enlarged Shareholders on Admission would be diluted by 4%.

5.2 A market for the Ordinary Shares may not be maintained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of the Ordinary Shares

Admission to the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market should not be taken as implying that there will always be a liquid market in the Ordinary Shares. The price of the Ordinary Shares can vary due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and forecasts, the Company's general business condition, the release of its financial reports and the demand for the Ordinary Shares post-Admission. Although the Company's current intention is that its securities should continue to trade on the London Stock Exchange, there is no assurance that they will always do so. In addition, an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares may not be maintained. Investors may be unable to sell their Ordinary Shares unless an active market can be maintained, and if the Company subsequently obtains a listing on an exchange in addition to, or in lieu of, the London Stock Exchange, the level of liquidity of the Ordinary Shares may decline.

5.3 The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the short to medium term

The Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

5.4 Investors may not be able to realise returns on their investment in Ordinary Shares within a period that they would consider to be reasonable

Investments in Ordinary Shares may be relatively illiquid. There may be a limited number of Shareholders and this factor may contribute both to infrequent trading in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange and to volatile Ordinary Share price movements. Investors should not expect that they will necessarily be able to realise their investment in Ordinary Shares within a period that they would regard as reasonable. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not be suitable for short-term investment. Admission should not be taken as implying that there will be an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares. Even if an active trading market develops, the market price for the Ordinary Shares may fall below the issue price

5.5 The Equity Shares (transition) category

The Enlarged Issued Share Capital of the Company will be admitted to the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List. Companies whose shares are admitted to the Equity Shares (transition) category will continue to be subject to the same continuing obligations as applied to issuers in the Standard Segment prior to the implementation date of the Listing Rules. They can apply to transfer to the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category if they are ready and eligible to do so using a modified transfer process. The modified transfer process would include an eligibility assessment focused on the requirements additional to those applicable to issuers in the Standard Segment. A sponsor must be appointed to undertake a targeted sponsor service who will need to confirm that it has not identified any adverse information that would lead it to conclude the issuer would not be able to comply with its obligations under the UKLR and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Although the eligibility assessment will focus on additional obligations, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be eligible to transfer to one of the other listing categories and therefore the Company could remain in the Equity Shares (transition) category.

The FCA have stated that the Equity Shares (transition) category has no end date at the point of implementation and no deadline for issuers to transfer out of the category, but instead they would keep it under review. Whilst the FCA will consult if and when they consider removing this category and have confirmed that they would also provide sufficient time for any remaining issuers to consider their options, there is a risk that the Company could remain in the Equity Shares (transition) category because it is not eligible to transfer to another listing category, which is then ultimately wound down, in which case the Company may have no option but to de-list or seek admission to an alternative market.

6. RISKS RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS

6.1 The Directors' affiliations and financial interests

Each of the Directors has, is currently, or may in the future become affiliated with or have financial interests in entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted or intended to be conducted by the Company and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and business opportunities.

6.2 The Directors may enter into related party transactions with the Company, which may give rise to conflicts of interest between the Company and the Directors

The Directors and one or more of their affiliates may enter into other agreements with the Company that are not currently under contemplation. While the Company will not enter into any related party transaction without the approval of the majority of the Board, it is possible that the entering into of such an agreement might raise conflicts of interest between the Company and the Directors.

7. RISKS RELATING TO TAXATION

7.1 Taxation of returns from assets located outside of the UK may reduce any net return to Shareholders

It is possible that any return the Company receives from the Project might be reduced by irrecoverable foreign withholding or other local taxes and this may reduce any net return derived by Shareholders from an investment in the Company.

Ax12 (4.5)

7.2 Changes in tax law may reduce any net returns for Shareholders

The tax treatment of Shareholders of Ordinary Shares issued by the Company are all subject to changes in tax laws or practices in the UK or any other relevant jurisdiction. For instance, on 21 November 2022, HMRC announced that the tax-free allowance for dividend income was being reduced from £2,000 to £1,000 from 6 April 2023 and then to £500 from 6 April 2024 for individuals who receive dividend income and that the Capital Gains Tax annual exempt amount was being reduced for the tax year 2023 to 2024 to £6,000 for UK resident individuals and personal representatives, and £3,000 for most trustees. For the tax year 2024 to 2025 and subsequent tax years the annual exempt amount will be permanently fixed at £3,000 for UK resident individuals and personal representatives, and £1,500 for most trustees. These and any further changes may reduce any net return derived by Shareholders from an investment in the Company.

7.3 There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make returns for Shareholders in a tax-efficient manner

The Company has made certain assumptions regarding taxation. However, if these assumptions are not borne out in practice, taxes may be imposed with respect to any of the Company's assets, or the Company may be subject to tax on its income, profits, gains or distributions in a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions in excess of taxes that were anticipated. This could alter the post-tax returns for Shareholders (or Shareholders in certain jurisdictions). The level of return for Shareholders may also be adversely affected. Any change in laws or tax authority practices could also adversely affect any post-tax returns of capital to Shareholders or payments of dividends (if any, which the Company does not envisage the payment of, at least in the foreseeable future until mining activities have commenced). In addition, the Company may incur costs in taking steps to mitigate any such adverse effect on the post-tax returns for Shareholders.

The risks noted above do not necessarily comprise all those faced by the Group. There may be special risks if an investor holds Shares in certain jurisdictions. At this time, the Company does not intend to make accommodations regarding its financial information to assist any holders with their tax obligations.

An investment in Shares is speculative and may not be suitable for all recipients of this Document. Potential UK investors are accordingly advised to consult a person authorised under the FSMA who specialises in advising in investments of this kind before making any investment decisions. Non-UK investors are advised to consult another appropriately authorised independent adviser who specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities. A prospective investor should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable in the light of personal circumstances and the financial resources available to them.

CONSEQUENCES OF A LISTING IN THE EQUITY SHARES (TRANSITION) CATEGORY

Application will be made for the Enlarged Issued Share Capital to be admitted to the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List pursuant to Chapter 22 of the UKLR, which sets out the requirements for companies listed on the Equity Shares (transition) category, and for such Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities. The Listing Principles 1 and 2 set out in Chapter 2 of the UKLR also apply to the Company.

Ax12 (6.2) LR 2.2.3

However, while the Company has a listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category, it is not required to comply with the provisions of, among other things:

^l Chapter 4 of the UKLR regarding the appointment of a sponsor to guide the Company in understanding and meeting its responsibilities under the UKLR in connection with certain matters. The Company has not and does not intend to appoint a sponsor in connection with the Admission. Companies listed on the Equity Shares (transition) category will not be required to appoint a sponsor unless they wish to transfer their listing to a category which requires the appointment of a sponsor including the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category;
^l Chapter 6 of the UKLR relating to the continuing obligations for companies admitted to the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category, which therefore does not apply to the Company;
^l Chapter 7 of the UKLR relating to significant transactions;
^l Chapter 8 of the UKLR regarding related party transactions;
^l Chapter 9 of the UKLR regarding further issues of shares and dealing in own securities by companies admitted to the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category. However, any dealings in the Company's securities are subject to other general restrictions, including those set out in the Market Abuse Regulation;
^l Chapter 10 of the UKLR regarding the form and content of circulars to be sent to shareholders of companies admitted to the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category; and
^l the UK Corporate Governance Code.

Companies with a listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category are not eligible for inclusion in the UK series of FTSE indices.

There are, however, a number of continuing obligations set out in Chapter 22 of the UKLR that are applicable to the Company. These include requirements as to:

^l the forwarding of circulars and other documentation to the FCA for publication through the document viewing facility and related notification to a Regulatory Information Service;
^l the provision of contact details of appropriate persons nominated to act as a first point of contact with the FCA in relation to compliance with the UKLR and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules;
^l the form and content of temporary and definitive documents of title;
^l the appointment of a registrar;
^l the making of Regulatory Information Service notifications in relation to a range of debt and equity capital issues; and
^l at least 10 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares being held in public hands.

In addition, as a company whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, the Company is required to comply with the Market Abuse Regulation and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Company notes that in case of an acquisition, the reverse takeover provisions set out in UKLR 22.3 may be triggered and the Company will comply with those provisions. If the Company undertakes a Reverse takeover, the Company's listing in the Equity Shares (transition) category will be cancelled and the Company will need to apply for a listing in a different category of the Official List or a listing on another appropriate securities market or stock exchange. The Company may have its listing suspended in the event of a Reverse takeover.

It should be noted that the FCA will not have the authority to (and will not) monitor the Company's compliance with any of the UKLA which the Company has indicated herein that it intends to comply with on a voluntary basis, nor to impose sanctions in respect of any failure by the Company so to comply. However, the FCA would be able to impose sanctions for non-compliance where the statements regarding compliance in this Document are themselves misleading, false or deceptive.

For the purposes of this section, an investor is deemed to include the legal or natural person making the investment in the Company and any beneficial owner.

1. The Company is the controller of any personal data that may be supplied by investors, and its contact details can be found on page 27 of this Document.
1. Investors will be asked to provide information to the Company, including personal data, as part of their applications the Subscription Shares. If an investor does not provide all of the information requested, the Company will not be able to process the application and the investor will not receive any Subscription Shares.
1. The personal data provided by investors will be processed for the following purposes:

7. 3.6 disclosing personal data to other functionaries of, or advisers to, the Company to operate and/or administer the Company.
1. The legal basis on which such personal data is provided is:

Ax3 (4.2) LR 2.2.1(1)

On 28 April 2020, the Company undertook a Reverse takeover (as it was defined in Listing Rule 5.6.4 at the time of the Reverse takeover) of the entire issued share capital of Consolidated African (Uganda), the holder of the Orom-Cross Project following the Company, Consolidated Africa and New Energy entering into an agreement for the Company to acquire 100 per cent. of Consolidated African (Uganda), the holder of the Orom-Cross Project, to form the Group and at the time completing a placing to raise £2m.

2. THE OROM-CROSS PROJECT

2.1 Location

The Orom-Cross Project lies within the Orom District, of northern Uganda. The Project tenements encompass an area of approximately 520 000 hectares stretching from Latitude 3°18'40' to 3°30'40' N and from Longitude 33°31'50' to 33°45'40' E.

The Project is located approximately 6 km east (in a straight line) of the town of Orom and 75 km northeast of the town of Kitgum in northern Uganda (Figure 5-1). The Project can be accessed from the southwest via 104km of tarred road from Gulu to Kitgum (Orom-Koputh road) and thereafter by 87km of good quality gravel roads. The nearest large settlement to the Project is the village of Orom, located in Chua East Country. Aside from road access other available key infrastructure at or near to site includes water (bores), energy (hydro-power off national grid) and cellphone coverage (communications).

2.4 The Original Pre-Feasibility Study July 2022

The Company reported their PFS results for the Orom-Cross Project on 19 July 2022. The PFS was compiled by the Company with the assistance of numerous consultants and was signed off by an external graphite expert engineering company, Battery Limits of Perth Australia.

The PFS demonstrated robust project economics and the decision was taken to progress the Project to a DFS.

The DFS studies commenced in 2023 will comprehensively update the assumptions, budgets, costs and scale of the Project. Therefore, the Company notes that the PFS is by its nature "preliminary" and was produced in 2022 with a range of different assumptions, costs and budgets that are now being studied in the DFS.

Key PFS Results

Initial Life of Mine (LOM)	14 years
Capital CostUS\$62 million
Average annual Production of concentrate over LOM (96-97% LOI concentrate)	101,000 tpa
Operating Cost: Annual average (over LOM)	US\$499/t
Weighted Average Selling price; all products (over LOM)	US\$1,307/t
EBITDA: Annual average over LOM	US\$100 million
Free Cash delivered (after tax) over LOM	US\$1.1 billion
IRR	49%
Net Present Value8	US\$482 million

Mining and Processing

Orom-Cross has an existing JORC Standard Resource of 24.5Mt at 6.0% presenting from surface, which provides for a shallow, low cost, open pit mining operation. All mining within this first 14 years will be done from 0-25m depth. As set out in the PFS strategy, 600,000 tonnes of ore will be mined per annum from commissioning date and this will increase to 2.4Mtpa by the time the project is fully ramped up in year 10. The existing JORC Resource provides an initial mine life of 14 years and further resources, higher production volumes and an extended mine life may all be obtained at any stage via drilling additional ready-targets.

Mining will be free-dig with no drill and blast requirement. Initial ore will come from saprolite (clay) but is expected to move into fresh around 15-20m depth on average. Both of the deposits identified in the drilling programmes (Northern Syncline and Camp Lode) will be mined and a composite blend of both will be input into the processing plant that will be constructed on-site.

As set out in the PFS strategy, an initial 36,000tpa of end-product as concentrates will be delivered from the plant which increments in two additional stages to 147,000tpa once the mine is fully ramped up. Considerable metallurgical test work has been done on the end-products to determine their chemistry and characteristics and this shows that Orom-Cross can deliver a high quality >96% LOI concentrate that is unique in several key aspects, as highlighted in the June 2022 announcement on final met test results. Circa 50% of these end-products will be smaller fine flakes and ~50% will be in the +100 to +50 mesh higher value categories. The smaller flake products can be sold into the fast-emerging battery market, which is forecast to grow considerably over the long term thus providing a channel for incremental growth and sales.

Capital Requirement

Blencowe is targeting to commence operations at an initial output of 36,000tpa end-product.

It is likely that various different products will be sold into all of the key graphite markets, including engineered products, thermal management and energy storage.

Pre-qualification of all end-products has commenced via a bulk sample pilot testing programme in China. The bulk sampling of graphite and its conversion into concentrate is now largely completed. On 10 June 2024, the Company entered its first offtake MOU with Jilin for 15,000 tonnes of large flake graphite.

This PFS start-up position has resulted in a reduced initial capital requirement of US\$62M.

Capital Item	\$M
Processing Plant	27.3
EPCM	5.3
Other Indirect Costs	3.1
Plant Infrastructure, including Tailings Storage Facility (TSF)	8.1
Camp and Facilities	8.4
Mining Capital	2.6
Owners Costs	2.4
Contingency	4.8
Total	62.0

Infrastructure

Orom-Cross benefits by considerable key infrastructure already in place, which in turn lowers the capital costs required to commission the mine. There are existing tarred roads from the regional centre Kitgum (90kms from site) all the way through to Mombasa port in neighbouring Kenya, and the road from Kitgum to nearby Orom (10kms from site) will likely be tarred by 2025; the Ugandan government work on that is already underway. Blencowe will establish local roads required around the mine site.

Power will be connected to the national grid which is currently nearby at Orom and will provide lower cost, energy-efficient hydro-power. Wireless communications will be connected on site giving all range of phone and internet options. There is plentiful water on and around the site and bores will be sunk for clean water.

The camp will be constructed together with the processing plant, storage, admin offices and a larger tailings facility, prior to the main start-up.

Operating Costs

Orom-Cross benefits from several key attributes that combine to deliver one of the lowest operating cost graphite projects worldwide. The following operating costs were established in the PFS in 2022 and the current DFS study will update all costings.

Cost	\$/t
Mining	90
Processing	180
Fuel	3
Project Personnel	48
Project Services	35
Depreciation	17
Transport & Logistics	110
Sales & Marketing	16
	499/t FOB Port

Mining will be owner-operated using equipment assumed as leased. Training will be given to locals to fill positions wherever possible and Blencowe intends to build a strong base of experienced in-country personnel for all positions over life of mine.

Ore will be mined from both the Northern Syncline and Camp Lode deposits and stockpiled for processing through the plant, which will be located on-site and near to the mining operations. As provided in the PFS strategy an initial 500,000tpa of ore will be throughput but this will expand to 2.4mtpa over a series of ramp ups during the first ten years' life of mine. This will result in 36,000tpa of end-products delivered as concentrates from year 1 that will expand to 147,000tpa by year 10. Operating costs per tonne will reduce over the life of mine as the production tonnage ramps up.

The processing flowsheet consists of a flash and rougher flotation stage followed by a primary cleaning circuit with a polishing mill, followed by three stages of cleaner flotation. The intermediate concentrate is classified and then further upgraded in secondary cleaning circuits with stirred media mills (SMM) followed by cleaner flotation.

Orom-Cross will deliver 3 – 4 different end-products, characterised by different mesh size fractions; namely +50 mesh, + 80 mesh, +100 mesh, +150 mesh and -100 mesh. These products will all have different markets and will be branded and packaged at site. Blencowe intends to apply for a Ugandan Free Trade Zone License (FTZL) in 2H 2023 which will allow for all goods for export to be custom-cleared at the mine site before being transported to Mombasa port by truck for shipment to end-users.

Initially the transport to port will be done via road but it is expected that by 2025 main plant start-up there may be a rail option available nearby which would lower logistics costs further. Orom-Cross will initially be able to utilise cheaper backfill options for road transport as both Uganda and South Sudan are land-locked countries and therefore require substantial volumes of imported goods delivered by trucks, which often return to Mombasa port empty. This is a key advantage.

Weighted Average Selling Price

The table shows a wide range of price differentiation between coarse and fine flake sizes for 96-97% LOI (loss on ignition) concentrates, and both current prices as well as forecast prices for 2025 expected start-up date. Orom-Cross benefits from having ~45% of its end-products as jumbo or large flake sizes (+80 mesh) as these products sell into markets at a considerable premium to the smaller flake/mesh sizes. The concentrates also benefit from having very low impurities.

Strong anticipated future demand for smaller flake product that can be upgraded to 99.95% SPG (spheronised, purified graphite) product and used within batteries for EVs presents significant growth potential for further demand ahead, with this forecast to potentially positively impact prices over the next decade and beyond.

Flake Size	Mesh Size	96-97% LOI \$/t	% End Product	WAvg \$/t

Small	-100/-200	982/752	11.9/26.0	117/196
			Weighted Average	1,307

Sales and Marketing

Blencowe has been working closely with experienced graphite marketing consultants Lone Star Tech Minerals LLC (USA) and Oriental Jinyuan to identify products and markets to sell its graphite products into ahead. Lone Star have over 30 years' direct experience in graphite sales worldwide and their expertise has been valuable in all facets, including metallurgical test work, identifying product specifications, branding, packaging, customer identification, interaction and liaison. Oriental Jinyaun are a specialist in Asian sales and marketing for graphite and will play a key role in product qualification and Asian offtake contracts. Blencowe will continue to work with both parties as Orom-Cross moves towards first production.

Blencowe revised the end-product pre-qualification strategy post-PFS and has recently completed the bulk sample pilot testing programme to concentrates at an established and experienced graphite facility in China. This entailed putting 600 tonnes of raw material from Orom-Cross through a processing plant to deliver ~30 tonnes of 96% concentrate, some of which will then be used to upgrade to a 99.95% SPG product. Once completed this SPG product will be delivered to end user OEMs to test in their facilities so that the OEMs can discuss offtake contracts.

Blencowe intends to seek key ISO certifications for its plant and products through this pre-qualification period to ensure highest possible standards which will then be reflected in higher demand for its products, and potentially higher prices.

Cash Flow

The PFS strategy reflects the high net operating margin generating substantial cash flow from Orom-Cross, particularly from when the mine has fully ramped up to 147,000tpa capacity by year 10. This in turn generates free cash net of all taxes of US\$1.073 billion from the Project over the initial 14 years' life of mine. As only a small percentage of the full Orom-Cross graphite deposit will have been mined out by then it is likely that further drilling will result in a considerable extension to the life of mine well beyond the initial 14 years, and with that significant additional net cash flow.

Royalties of 5% have been added and a 10-year exemption from corporate tax is also included in the PFS model. Thereafter a standard rate of 30% corporate tax is used. Whilst Blencowe will not apply for any tax exemption until the Definitive Feasibility Study is completed the Company has been made aware the investment quantum for Orom-Cross and the nature of the exported end-products, plus certain other features, will allow for such an exemption to likely be granted; as such it has been included within the modelling.

Provision has been made for payments to the local community as dictated by the existing Local Community Agreement already in place, and for other means for Blencowe to assist such as water bores, health and educational support and various minor infrastructure.

Management & Staffing

Blencowe will ensure operational delivery of end-product via experienced management at Orom-Cross, specifically in key areas such as mining operations and at the processing plant. However the Company will focus on training local staff wherever possible to transfer skills and to ensure participation. Ultimately the full operation will have >400 persons employed, operating in shifts to ensure constant mining and processing all year round. Mining will be owner-operated using dry hire equipment, as opposed to contract mining.

ESG

Blencowe is taking a firm stance from the outset on life cycle sustainability at Orom-Cross with every effort made to ensure the project operates using renewable energy sources wherever possible, and any non-renewable options are only considered as emergency or backup where no other alternative is possible.

Orom-Cross benefits from the ability to utilise hydro-electric power sourced from the Ugandan national grid and various solar options are under consideration and will be examined further within the Definitive Feasibility Study stage.

Social programmes are already in place to ensure the local community benefits from a successful mining operation, and Blencowe will continue to work closely with the local community ahead to ensure its continued support. Strong governance and risk management are critical to the success of the Project and Blencowe will monitor these aspects at all times to international standards.

2.5 DFS Work Programme

The Company engaged graphite specialist engineering firm CPC Engineering to lead, deliver and sign off on the DFS for the Orom-Cross Graphite Project.

CPC Engineering has extensive experience in other leading graphite projects in East Africa, having completed the DFS for the Maniry Graphite Project (Black Earth Minerals, ASX: BEM) in Madagascar, as well as both the Mahenge (Black Rock Mining Ltd, ASX: BKT) and Chilalo Graphite (Evolution Energy Minerals, ASX: EV1) Projects in Tanzania and the scoping study for the Ancuabe Graphite Project (Triton Minerals, ASX: TON) in Mozambique. CPC Engineering also completed the detailed engineering, procurement, construction support and commissioning services for the Syrah Resources (ASX: SYR) Balama Graphite Project in Mozambique.

The Company is also assembling a strong management advisory team to assist with all key aspects of the study, including plant design, engineering, infrastructure, mining, operations, sales and marketing (offtake), environmental and social aspects, and all project funding. This team will comprise of resource executives who have considerable experience delivering projects through to production in Africa, as well as specific graphite experience. They will assist the existing Company management team at all levels to deliver a successful DFS.

In April 2023, the Company entered into negotiations with the US government backed DFC, with regard to the TAG pursuant to which DFC will commit to meeting approximately 50% of the DFS costs. The strategic support by the DFC is part of the US Government's strategic drive for further access to critical minerals and metals, within its wider renewables strategy.

On 22 September 2023, the Company and DFC entered into the DFC Grant Agreement pursuant to which the DFC will provide a phased grant of up to US\$5,000,000 ("DFC Grant") to substantially assist with DFS costs as set out in the DFC Grant Agreement. The Company has received at total of \$3,500,000 from the DFC grant and anticipates receiving the balance as other milestones within the DFS are completed.

The DFC Grant Agreement also gives DFC a mandate as lead manager to deliver a funding solution for Orom-Cross assuming a successful DFS.

The Company commenced the DFS in early 2023 by reviewing the current parameters and assumptions as set out in the PFS published in July 2022. The scope of the current DFS programme was budgeted to cost approximately \$10m. Following the DFC Grant Agreement, the Company and the DFC are reviewing and expanded DFS notably to include a larger mining operation and the development of processing in-country. The expanded DFS is budgeted to cost \$12m due to the additional resource drilling required to expand and upgrade the mineral resources for a larger mining operation than envisaged in the original scope of the DFS in 2023.

Subject to further funding, the Company expects to finalise the DFS in H1 2025 then undertake to complete the project financing prior to building and commissioning the mine in 2026.

3. OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

At the date of this Document the beneficial ownership of the Project is as follows:

4. PROJECT LICENCES

4.1 Project Licenses

The Licenses are held through Consolidated African (Uganda). Consolidated African (Uganda), upon application and fulfilment of the terms and conditions prescribed in the Mining Act, was granted Exploration Licenses for a duration of 3 years for graphite, gold, zinc and mica. An application made by Consolidated African (Uganda) to renew EL 00076 (formally EL 1025) was granted and renewed for a period of 3 years effective 17 September 2020. The Exploration Licence was renewed with the same terms and conditions as relating to the area and size.

Mining Lease 1959 was awarded to Consolidated African (Uganda) on 20th June 2019 for a period of 21 years, to develop and mine graphite.

Exploration Licence 1612 expired on 14 November 2019, however Consolidated African (Uganda) submitted a reapplication for a 2-year extension to the licence which was granted. Exploration Licence 1612 was renewed on the provision of relinquishment of 50 per cent. of the area. The Company has relinquished the northern 50 per cent. of the original licence area due to potential for mineralized extensions on trend from the existing zones in ML1959. Exploration Licence 1612 covers an area that is not currently being exploited and it does not form any part of the area for the studies proposed to be undertaken in the near or medium term.

A summary of the Project Licenses is shown in the Table below:

Table: Tenement Schedule Licence Type Number	Licence	Area km2	Registered Holder	Granted	Expiry	District	Comment
EL	00076	325.56	CARL	17 Sept 2020	10 Sept 2023	Kitgum, Kaabong	Originally EL1025 part converted to ML1959.
EL	1173	96.54	CARL	8 Jul 2020	7 Jul 2023	Kitgum,	Current, Kaabong renewed on 8 Aug 2020
EL	1612	51.4			CARL 14 Nov 2020 13 Nov 2022	Kitgum, Kotido,	Converted from Kaabong TN2390; 50% relinquished in 2020 as per DGSM guidelines

On 6 September 2023 Consolidated African (Uganda) submitted an application to the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines ("GSMD") for the renewal of Licence EL 1173, which as noted above expired on 7 July 2023.

On 6 September 2023 Consolidated African (Uganda) submitted an application to the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines for the renewal of Licence EL 00076, which as noted above expired on 10 September 2023.

On 7 November 2022 Consolidated African (Uganda) submitted an application to the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines for the renewal of Licence EL 1612, which as noted above expired on 13 November 2022.

Whilst Consolidated African (Uganda) has not received confirmation of the renewal of any or all of the Exploration Licences, all of the conditions required for the renewal of the Exploration Licences have been satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the Mining Act and the Directors know of no reason that would prevent any or all of the Exploration Licences being renewed. Consolidated African (Uganda) are in regular contact with GSMD with regards to the renewal of the Exploration Licenses but the Directors cannot state with any certainty when any or all of the Exploration Licences will be renewed. In accordance with the provisions of the Mining Act, Consolidated African (Uganda) have priority rights over the areas covered by the Exploration Licences due to having submitted the applications for renewal.

4.2 Ugandan Legal and environmental requirements

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral development, GSMD, is responsible for issuing exploration and mining licenses and administering the Mining Act (2003). GSMD is an integral part of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development responsible for regulating mining activities in Uganda and is based in Entebbe.

Ownership of all mineral resources is vested in the State to be held in trust for the people of Uganda and their use and exploitation is regulated by the Mining Act and the regulations made thereunder. Accordingly, the right to prospect, mine or explore mineral resources is granted by the State subject to terms and conditions in the Mining Act.

Under the Mining Act, a Retention License or Exploration License can become a Mining Lease, and are issued where mining is justified, through a full feasibility study with environmental impact assessment submitted to the government. There is no maximum or minimum size, though the licence must be rectangular. The Orom-Cross Mining License gives the holder the exclusive right to mine, refine, process and/or sell stated minerals within the area granted, and the right to establish a camp, plant and dumps within the license. The Orom-Cross Mining License was granted in 2019 and it has an initial term of up to 21 years, renewable for no more than 15 years.

5. THE STRATEGY

The Company's strategy is to develop the Orom-Cross Project into production and thereafter ramp up to a substantial production volume, assuming binding offtake contracts are in place and funding is available. The expectation is that the graphite market will continue to grow over the next decade in response to an accelerating demand for batteries used in electric vehicles and energy storage for all renewable energy sources.

The Company has commenced the DFS work programme and following the completion of the July and November Subscription will utilise the Net Proceeds and the DFC Grant the Company to finalise the DFS in H1 2025. Following the review of the DFS results, the Company and the DFC will negotiate a project financing package to commence building and commissioning the mine in 2026 and commence sales of graphite concentrate from 2026.

6. THE GRAPHITE MARKET

Graphite Application

Graphite is used in many different applications and there will be a different demand profile ahead for each based on prevailing circumstances, and as these products are in different sectors of the market they do not necessarily impact one another. Blencowe will be looking to sell end-products into each of these market segments below:

i) Engineered Products

Electronics, agriculture, automotive, lubricants, ceramics, government defence, carbon brush and foils products that use natural flake graphite products. Other example applications that use graphite powder additives include friction, powder metallurgy, ceramics, foils, fire retardants, pencil, lubricants, dispersions, and carbon brush.

ii) Thermal Management

Applications that require graphite powder in various mesh or micron sizes as a thermal insulator or conductor in a wide range of applications including traditional and advanced graphite products for high end refractories, standard refractories, HMF (Hot Metal Forging), HMT (Hot Metal Toppings), crucibles, foundry and geothermal.

iii) Energy Storage

The energy sector continues to require new producers of consistent and high quality advanced carbon and graphite products to meet the needs of the global population for consumer goods, grid stabilisation, transportation, communications, aerospace and medical device advances. Applications and markets within the energy storage group will experience increased demand for innovative high tech graphite solutions.

The applications that are receiving the least attention requiring significant volumes of high purity micronised carbon powders are secondary battery (cathode) and primary battery (alkaline); both of which use high purity (99.9% LOI MIN) micronised carbon or graphite powder as a conductive additive without the need for any additional morphology modification.

There is significant discussion on the current and future needs of advanced battery technologies for critical raw material supply; specifically lithium, carbon and graphite products. Advances in battery and raw material technologies require increasing higher quality in advanced carbon or graphite products. These advances need to meet not only energy density requirements, but power density and energy requirements as industrial and consumer electronics become more sophisticated. Blencowe is making strategic steps to meet those future challenges. Electrochemistry applications that use carbon or graphite powders as a conductive additive include batteries, fuel cells, & super-capacitors.

Price points for each market group are not the same for every application and can vary significantly from one to another. A traditional or advanced graphite powder production facility must possess the capability to produce multiple products created from a single source or feedstock with processes and packaging to meet specific customer requirements. This will encompass serving multiple product families with various combinations resulting in large number of unique permutations. Specific target applications have the potential to deliver significant incremental revenue and profits creating long term sustainability and future growth for the Company.

An advanced carbon powder manufacturing program will include certifications to include ISO: 9001 (QA/QC) and ISO: 14001 (EMS) in line with industry, application and customer requirements. Blencowe Resource's Orom-Cross graphite project is set to be part of the next generation of traditional and innovative advanced carbon powder products for the global market. It is prudent in any graphite business strategy to diversify product offerings and target market focus to provide for progressive revenue streams to weather a variety of market dynamics that could potentially affect one market or another.

Due to graphite's metallurgical rarity, its unique physical and chemical properties, and its growing importance in high technology applications and green energy initiatives, natural graphite has been declared a strategic mineral by both the USA and European Union (EU). Natural Graphite is positioned as one of 24 critical raw materials out of 54 candidate materials.

The critical success factor for Blencowe Resources will be the Company's manufacturing focus on delivering higher quality, consistent flake graphite products and not focusing solely on selling bulk tonnes of lower quality flake graphite at lower prices; a strategic position of quality over quantity.

Supply and Demand

Currently markets are in equilibrium as regards demand for and supply of flake graphite. Whilst there are markers pointing to growing demand, and in particular for use in lithium ion batteries (graphite makes up a significant portion of the anode within the Li-ion battery), the abundance of synthetic graphite in the market is able to cover this and will likely continue do so ahead in the near term.

However as one looks into the 3-5 year horizon and beyond there are a number of factors coming into play that could significantly change this dynamic. Firstly, most synthetic graphite production is within China, and any geo-political moves to shift reliance away from China in this critical mineral means reducing access to Chinese synthetic. Secondly, synthetic production has environmental issues due to high energy requirement for production, hence pressure may also come from this ESG angle at the same time, including within China that has a dual-carbon development strategy. A combination of environmental and political factors could de-couple graphite away from synthetic production, or at least reduce the percentage mix in the market which could give natural flake graphite a substantial boost in terms of demand.

This would affect price as upward shift in the supply of natural flakes graphite is always going to be limited, due to a combination of (current) lower prices commercially limiting new entrants and also the complex pre-qualification process that ensures any new entrant has to go through a long vetting programme to get their end product suitability confirmed by OEMs.

One development seems set to continue and that is the demand for graphite rising to meet requirements for batteries used in energy storage. This covers a wider range of markets including storage of renewable energy in all forms (solar, wind, etc) as well as the accelerating electric vehicle market which is gathering momentum, and is forecast to continue growing fast and demanding significant graphite ahead as more and more battery megafactories come online.

7. USE OF NET PROCEEDS

The Net Proceeds of the July and November Subscription, being approximately £579,000, being the gross proceeds of £659,000 raised through the July and November Subscription less Transaction Costs of £80,000, will be used to fund the DFS programme and for general working capital.

Details of the Subscription are set out in Part III of this Document. The only condition to completion of the July and November Subscription is Admission. All funds in relation to the July and November Subscription have been raised by the Company will be received in conjunction with Admission.

DFS Programme 1,200,000 General Working Capital 479,000 Net Proceeds and current cash resources 1,679,000

Ax12 (6.1)

Ax12 (6.2)

Following Admission, net of Transaction Costs (set out above), the Group will have funds of approximately £1.6m available including existing cash of approximately £1.1m. The Company is of the opinion that, taking into account the Net Proceeds, the working capital available to the Company is insufficient for its present requirements for the Working Capital Period. Please refer to paragraph 9 in Part VII of this Document.

8. ADMISSION TO TRADING

Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category of Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 2 December 2024. If the Subscription is not completed, no application for the July and November Subscription Shares will be made.

There is currently no other market for the Ordinary Shares and the Company does not intend to seek admission to trading of the Ordinary Shares on any market other than the Main Market.

Copies of this Document and other documents the Company is required to make available for inspection will be available to the public, free of charge, from the Company's registered office for a period of 12 months from the date of dealings. Such documents will also be made available on the Company's website at www.blencoweresources.com from the date of publication of this Document.

DFC Performance Shares

Subject to the passing of certain Resolutions at the GM, the Company will grant the Directors and Key Management the right, for a period of up to 5 years, to subscribe for 10,700,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of the par value in recognition of obtaining the DFC grant of \$5m ("DFC Performance Shares") which has materially reduced the amount of equity capital required to fund the DFS, therefore, reducing the dilution to existing shareholders and ultimately creating shareholder value. For example, had the Company raised \$5m (£3.8m) through equity capital at 5 pence per share this would have resulted in the issue of 76,000,000 ordinary shares resulting in material dilution to existing shareholders.

The remuneration committee shall not allow the DFC Performance Shares to be allotted and issued until the fifth drawn down of funds from the DFC and all shares issued will be locked up for a period of 12 months from the date of admission or until completion of the DFS, whichever is sooner.

Strategy & Business Model

The Company's strategy is to fully develop the Orom-Cross Project.

The Company has structured a lean organisation that is focused on maximising the potential returns to shareholders through carefully targeted acquisition(s), and future development with the aim of accelerated exploration and evaluation. The Company, as appropriate, uses a combination of in-house expertise and external consultants to manage operations.

The Company seeks to keep general and administrative overhead costs to a minimum, whilst balancing the need to hire and retain the most suitable personnel, advisors and contractors. Given the small size of the Company, corporate and operating costs are closely monitored by management to ensure appropriate levels of spending.

The Board of Directors participate in regular formal board meetings.

Shareholder Information

The Group's progress on achieving its key targets are regularly communicated to investors through stock exchange announcements, i.e. Regulatory News Service ("RNS"). These can also be found under the "Investors, Media" section of the Company's website.

4. BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board is currently comprised of one executive director and two non-executive Directors. This composition is considered to be an appropriate balance given the Company's current size. The Board is responsible to the shareholders for the proper management of the Company. It meets regularly to set and monitor strategy, examine commercial opportunities, identify and consider key risks, consider capital expenditure projects and other significant financing matters and report to shareholders.

Biographical details of the directors can be found on the Company's website and in this Part II above.

The Board has a number of committees as explained below.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee comprises of Cameron Pearce, chairman of the committee, and Alex Passmore and meets at least twice a year and is responsible for ensuring that the Group's financial performance is properly monitored, controlled and reported. The Audit Committee is responsible for the scope and effectiveness of the external audit and compliance by the Group with statutory and other regulatory requirements.

The Audit Committee monitors in discussion with the auditors the integrity of the financial statements of the Group, any formal announcements relating to the Group's financial performance and review significant financial reporting judgments contained in them and reviews the Group's internal financial controls and review the Group's internal control and risk management systems and reviews and monitors the external auditor's independence and objectivity and the effectiveness of the audit process, taking into consideration relevant UK professional and regulatory requirements.

Remuneration and Nominations Committee

The Remuneration Committee comprises Sam Quinn, chairman of the committee, and Alex Passmore, and meets at least annually and is responsible for setting the remuneration policy for all executive directors and the Company's chairman, including pension rights and any compensation payments and recommends and monitors the level and structure of remuneration for senior management.

Evaluating Board Performance

Given the Company's current size, the Board has not considered it necessary to undertake a formal assessment of the Board performance and effectiveness. However, any deficiencies in Board performance and effectiveness would be identified on an ad hoc basis.

Communicating with Shareholders and other Relevant Stakeholders

Page 3 of the Financial Statements presents the section 172 statement which discusses how the Company considers the interests of shareholders and other relevant stakeholders in the decision making process.

In addition, the Company publishes historical annual reports, notices of meetings and other publications, including regular operational updates. These can be found on its website.

The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having dialogue with private and institutional shareholders, as well as analysts.

Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

The EU Market Abuse Regulation came into effect in the UK on 3 July 2019 and the Company has implemented relevant policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the requirements of the regime. The Company administers compliance in-house, consulting with the company secretary and legal counsel regularly.

5. GROUP POLICIES

Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy

It is the Company's policy, as set out in the Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy, to conduct all of its business in an honest and ethical manner and to take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. The Company is committed:

(a) to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all of its business dealings and relationships wherever it operates; and
(b) to implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery and corruption, including the adoption of this Policy.

The purpose of the Policy is to set out the Company's responsibilities, and the responsibilities of those working for the Group, in observing and upholding its position on anti-bribery and anti-corruption and to provide information and guidance to those working for the Group on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.

Share Dealing Policy

The Company has adopted a share dealing policy regulating dealing in securities of the Company by the Board and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities (and their persons closely associated) which contains provisions appropriate for a company whose shares are admitted to trading on the LSE and subject to MAR. The Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure compliance by the Board and any relevant employees with the terms of that share dealing policy. The Directors consider that this share dealing policy is appropriate for a company whose shares are admitted to trading on the LSE.

Conflicts of Interest

Potential areas for conflicts of interest for the Directors in relation to the Group include:

each of the Directors has, is currently, or may in the future become affiliated with or have financial interests in entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted or intended to be conducted by the Company and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and business opportunities. Therefore, the Directors may have a limited amount of time to dedicate to the business of the Group and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time to the Group and each aspect of the Group's business;
the Directors and one or more of their affiliates may enter into other agreements with the Company that are not currently under contemplation. While the Company will not enter into any related party transaction without the approval of the majority of the Board, it is possible that the entering into of such an agreement might raise conflicts of interest between the Company and the Directors;
in the course of their other business activities, the Directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to the Group as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated (that are of a similar nature to the Company) and the Directors may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular opportunity should be presented to; and
the Directors have, or may come to have, other fiduciary obligations, including to other companies on whose board of directors they presently sit or to other companies whose board of directors they may join in the future. To the extent that they identify business opportunities that may be suitable for the Group or other companies on whose board of directors they may sit, the Directors will honour any pre-existing fiduciary obligations ahead of their obligations to the Group. Accordingly, they may refrain from presenting certain opportunities to the Group that come to their attention in the performance of their duties as directors of such other entities unless the other companies have declined to accept such opportunities or clearly lack the resources to take advantage of such opportunities.

The Articles contain provisions whereby a director shall not vote on or be counted in the quorum of any Board meeting in respect of, any matter in which he has, directly or indirectly, any material interest.

TAXATION

TAXATION IN THE UK

The following information is based on UK tax law and HMRC practice currently in force in the UK. Such law and practice (including, without limitation, rates of tax) is in principle subject to change at any time. The information that follows is for guidance purposes only. Any person who is in any doubt about his or her position should contact their professional advisor immediately.

Ax12 (4.5)

1. Tax treatment of UK investors

The following information, which relates only to UK taxation, is applicable to persons who are resident in the UK and who beneficially own Ordinary Shares as investments and not as securities to be realised in the course of a trade. It is based on the law and practice currently in force in the UK. The information is not exhaustive and does not apply to potential investors:

who intend to acquire, or may acquire (either on their own or together with persons with whom they are connected or associated for tax purposes), more than 10 per cent., of any of the classes of shares in the Company; or
who intend to acquire Ordinary Shares as part of tax avoidance arrangements; or
who are in any doubt as to their taxation position.

Such Shareholders should consult their professional advisers without delay. Shareholders should note that tax law and interpretation can change and that, in particular, the levels, basis of and reliefs from taxation may change. Such changes may alter the benefits of investment in the Company.

Shareholders who are neither resident nor temporarily non-resident in the UK and who do not carry on a trade, profession or vocation through a branch, agency or permanent establishment in the UK with which the Ordinary Shares are connected, will not normally be liable to UK taxation on dividends paid by the Company or on capital gains arising on the sale or other disposal of Ordinary Shares. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning their tax liabilities.

1.1. Dividends

Where the Company pays dividends, no UK withholding taxes are deducted at source. Shareholders who are resident in the UK for tax purposes will, depending on their circumstances, be liable to UK income tax or corporation tax on those dividends.

UK resident individual Shareholders who are domiciled in the UK, and who hold their Ordinary Shares as investments, will be subject to UK income tax on the amount of dividends received from the Company.

Dividend income received by UK tax resident individuals will have a £1,000 per annum dividend tax allowance. Dividend receipts in excess of £1,000 will be taxed at 8.75% for basic rate taxpayers, 33.75% for higher rate taxpayers, and 39.35% for additional rate taxpayers. The dividend allowance is expected to be reduced to £500 from 6 April 2024.

Shareholders who are subject to UK corporation tax should generally, and subject to certain anti-avoidance provisions, be able to claim exemption from UK corporation tax in respect of any dividend received but will not be entitled to claim relief in respect of any underlying tax.

1.2. Disposals of Ordinary Shares

Any gain arising on the sale, redemption or other disposal of Ordinary Shares will be taxed at the time of such sale, redemption or disposal as a capital gain.

The rate of capital gains tax on disposal of Ordinary shares by basic rate taxpayers is 10 per cent., and 20 per cent. for upper rate and additional rate taxpayers.

Subject to certain exemptions, the corporation tax rate applicable to taxable profits is currently 25 per cent.

1.3. Further information for Shareholders subject to UK income tax and capital gains tax "Transactions in securities"

The attention of Shareholders (whether corporates or individuals) within the scope of UK taxation is drawn to the provisions set out in, respectively, Part 15 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and Chapter 1 of Part 13 of the Income Tax Act 2007, which (in each case) give powers to HMRC to raise tax assessments so as to cancel "tax advantages" derived from certain prescribed "transactions in securities".

2. Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax

No UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax will be payable on the allotment and issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the July and November Subscription.

Most Investors will purchase existing Ordinary Shares using the CREST paperless clearance system and these acquisitions will be subject to stamp duty reserve tax at 0.5 per cent. where Ordinary Shares are acquired using paper (i.e. non-electronic settlement). Stamp duty will become payable at 0.5 per cent. if the purchase consideration exceeds £1,000.

The above comments are intended as a guide to the general stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax position and may not relate to persons such as charities, market makers, brokers, dealers, intermediaries and persons connected with depositary arrangements or clearance services to whom special rules apply.

THIS SUMMARY OF UK TAXATION ISSUES CAN ONLY PROVIDE A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THESE AREAS AND IT IS NOT A DESCRIPTION OF ALL THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A DECISION TO INVEST IN THE COMPANY. THE SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UK TAX ISSUES IS BASED ON THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN FORCE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS DOCUMENT AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO ANY CHANGES IN UK LAWS OCCURRING AFTER SUCH DATE. LEGAL ADVICE SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH REGARD TO INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. ANY PERSON WHO IS IN ANY DOUBT AS TO HIS TAX POSITION OR WHERE HE IS RESIDENT, OR OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO TAXATION, IN A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE UK, SHOULD CONSULT HIS PROFESSIONAL ADVISER.

6. OBJECTS OF THE COMPANY

The provisions contained in the Company's Memorandum of Association determining its objects state that the Company's main activity is that of a general commercial company.

7. ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

7.1 Set out below is a summary of the provisions of the Articles of the Company. A copy of the Articles is available for inspection at the address specified for the Company on page 32 of this Document.
7.2 The Articles of the Company, contain, inter alia, the following provisions relating to the rights attaching to Ordinary Shares:
- 7.2.1 There are no rights of pre-emption in respect of transfers of issued Ordinary Shares. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's Shareholders may have statutory pre-emption rights under the Act in respect of the allotment of new shares in the Company. These statutory pre-emption rights would require the Company to place new shares for allotment of existing Shareholders on a pro-rata basis before allotting them to other persons. In such circumstances, the procedure for the exercise of such statutory pre-emption rights would be set out in the documentation by which such shares are offered to the Company's Shareholders;
- 7.2.2 In order to transfer Ordinary Shares, the instrument of transfer of any such shares must be in any usual or common form or in such other form as may be approved by the Board and must be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and, if the shares are not fully paid, by or on behalf of the transferee;
- 7.2.3 Each Ordinary Share confers the rights to receive notice of and attend all meetings of Shareholders. Each holder of Ordinary Shares present at a general meeting in person or by proxy has one vote on a show of hands, and, on a poll, one vote for each Ordinary Share of which he is the holder;
- 7.2.4 On a winding up, a liquidator may, with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution of the Company, divide amongst the holders of the Company's shares (in specie or in kind) the whole or any part of the assets of the Company, and may, with the like sanction, determine how such diversion is to be carried out;
- 7.2.5 The Ordinary Shares confer upon their holders the right to participate in any profits which the Company may from time to time determine to distribute in respect of any financial period;
7.2.6 Subject to the provisions of the Act and if the profits of the Company justify such payments, the Board may declare and pay interim dividends on shares of any class of such amounts as and when they think fit. All dividends are apportioned and paid pro-rata according to the amounts paid on the shares. No dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a share will bear interest as against the Company. The Directors may retain any dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a share on which the Company has a lien, and may apply them towards the satisfaction of the debts, liability or engagements in respect of a lien. A dividend may be retained if a shareholder has failed to comply with the statutory disclosure requirements of the Act. Any dividend unclaimed for twelve years will be forfeited and revert to the Company;
7.2.7 Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company may purchase any of its own shares, provided that the terms of any contract under which the Company will or may become entitled or obliged to purchase its own shares be authorised by a special resolution of the Company in a general meeting before the Company enters into such a contract;
7.2.8 All or any of the rights or privileges attached to any class of shares in the Company may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of that class; and
7.2.9 The Company may make arrangements for any class of its shares to be issued in uncertificated form and in accordance with and subject as provided for in the CREST Regulations and transfer of title of those shares shall be effected by means of relevant system in the manner provided for and subject as provided for in the CREST Regulations.

7.3 Voting

The Shareholders have the right to receive notice of, and to vote at, general meetings of the Company. Each Shareholder who is present in person (or, being a corporation, by representative) at a general meeting on a show of hands has one vote and, on a poll, every such holder who is present in person (or, being a corporation, by representative) or by proxy has one vote in respect of every share held by him.

7.4 Dividends and other distributions

The Company may, subject to the provisions of the Act and the Articles, by ordinary resolution from time to time declare dividends to be paid to members not exceeding the amount recommended by the Board. Any such dividends shall be paid subject to the provisions of the Act in so far as, in the Board's opinion, the Company's profits justify such payments. The right of a Shareholder to the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company on its liquidation, is to a share in proportion to the amount to which, at the commencement of the winding, the shares held by it are paid up. Under the Articles, on a voluntary winding up of the Company the liquidator may, on obtaining any sanction required by law, divide among the members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company, whether or not the assets consist of property of one kind or of different lands; and vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the members as he, with the like sanction, shall determine.

7.5 Variation of rights

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into shares of different classes any of the rights for the time being attached to any share or class of shares in the Company may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) be varied or abrogated in such manner (if any) as may be provided by such rights or, in the absence of any such provision, either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three quarters of the issued shares of the class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of the class duly convened and held as provided in the Articles. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply also to the variation or abrogation of the special rights attached to some only of the shares of any class as if each group of shares of the class differently treated formed a separate class the separate rights of which are to be varied.

7.6 Transfer of Ordinary Shares

7.6.1 Each member may transfer all or any of his shares which are in certificated or uncertificated form (subject to the CREST Regulations) by means of an instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any other form which the Board may approve.
7.6.2 The Board may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to register a transfer of certificated shares unless:

- 7.6.2.3 it is only for one class of share;
- 7.6.2.4 it is in favour of a single transferee or no more than four joint transferees;

7.6.3 The Board may refuse to register a transfer of uncertificated shares in any circumstances that are allowed or required by the CREST Regulations and the relevant system.

7.7 Allotment of shares and pre-emption rights

7.7.1 Subject to the Act and the Articles and in accordance with section 551 of the Act, the Board shall be generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise for each prescribed period, all the powers of the Company to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to the amount stated in the relevant resolution passed pursuant to section 551 of the Act, authorised such allotment.
7.7.2 Under and within the terms of the said authority or otherwise in accordance with section 570 of the Act, the Board shall be empowered during each prescribed period to allot equity securities (as defined in the Act), wholly for cash:
- 7.7.2.1 in accordance with a rights issue (as defined in the Articles); and

Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the General Meeting of the Company next following such appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election but shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at that meeting. If not re-appointed at such General Meeting, he shall vacate office at the conclusion thereof.
7.8.4 Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Board, which may exercise all the powers of the Company, may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. A director may, and the secretary at the request of a director shall, call a meeting of the directors.

The Board shall also be entitled to be paid all reasonable expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Shareholders or class meetings, board or committee meetings or otherwise in connection with the exercise of their powers and the discharge of their responsibilities in relation to the Company.

7.9 General meetings

7.9.1 The Company must convene and hold annual general meetings in accordance with the Act.
7.9.2 The Directors may call a general meeting whenever they think fit. At any meeting so convened (or any meeting requisitioned pursuant to section 303 of the Companies Act) no business shall be transacted except that proposed by the Board or stated by the requisition.

Subject to the Act, the Board may permit title to shares of any class to be issued or held otherwise than by a certificate and to be transferred by means of a relevant system without a certificate.

7.13 Squeeze-out and Sell-out

7.13.1 Squeeze-out

Under the Act, if a person who has made a general offer to acquire shares were to acquire 90% of the shares to which the offer relates and 90% of the voting rights carried by those shares before the expiry of three months from the last day on which the offer can be accepted, it could then compulsorily acquire the remaining 10%. It would do so by sending a notice to outstanding Shareholders telling them that it will compulsorily acquire their shares and then, six weeks later, executing a transfer of the outstanding shares in its favour and paying the consideration to the Company, which would be held on trust for outstanding Shareholders. The consideration offered to the Shareholders whose shares are compulsorily acquired under the Act must, in general, be the same as the consideration that was available under the takeover offer.

7.13.2 Sell-out

The Act gives minority Shareholders in the Company a right to be bought out in certain circumstances by a person who has made a general offer as described in paragraph 7.13.1 above. If, at any time before the end of the period within which the offer can be accepted, the offeror holds or has agreed to acquire not less than 90% of the shares in the Company and 90% of the voting rights in the Company, any holder of shares who has not accepted the offer can, by a written communication to the offeror, require it to acquire those shares.

The offeror is required to give such Shareholder notice of his right to be bought out within one month of that right arising. The offeror may impose a time limit on the rights of minority Shareholders to be bought out, but that period cannot end less than three months after the end of the acceptance period.

If a Shareholder exercises his rights, the offeror is entitled and bound to acquire those shares on the terms of the offer or on such other terms as may be agreed.

9. WORKING CAPITAL

Also, if the Company were required to raise further capital, the Board is confident it would receive the support of its shareholders as it has done in several recent fundraisings, so that any delay to the Expanded DFS as a result would be immaterial. In the event that the Company failed to raise further capital, it would be required to delay the completion of the Expanded DFS to preserve cash resources and general working capital which would then impact the speed of developing the Project through project financing and ultimately into production.

Following the implementation of the Directive by the Takeovers Directive (Interim Implementation) Regulations 2006 and subsequently by Part 28 of the Act, the rules in the City Code which are derived from the Directive now have a statutory basis.
20.3 The City Code applies to all takeovers and merger transactions, however effected, where, inter alia, the offeree company is a public company which has its registered office in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, if the company has its securities admitted to trading on a regulated market in the United Kingdom or on any stock exchange in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. The City Code will therefore apply to the Company and its Shareholders will be entitled to the protection afforded by the City Code.
20.4 Under Rule 9 of the City Code, where: (i) any person acquires, whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, an interest in shares which (taken together with shares in which he is already interested and in which persons acting in concert with him are interested) carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company subject to the City Code; or

(ii) any person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, is interested in shares which in the aggregate carry not less than 30% but does not hold more than 50% of the voting rights of such a company, if such person, or any person acting in concert with him, acquires an interest in any other shares which increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which he is interested, then, except with the consent of the Takeover Panel, he must make a general offer to the holders of any class of equity share capital, whether voting or non-voting, and also to the holders of any other class of transferable securities carrying voting rights to acquire the balance of the shares not held by him and his concert party.

20.5 Save where the Takeover Panel permits otherwise, an offer under Rule 9 of the City Code must be in cash and at the highest price paid within the 12 months prior to the announcement of the offer for any shares in the company by the person required to make the offer or any person acting in concert with him. Offers for different classes of equity share capital must be comparable; the Takeover Panel should be consulted in advance in such cases.
20.6 The Act provides that if an offer is made in respect of the issued share capital of the Company, the offeror is entitled to acquire compulsorily any remaining shares if it has received acceptances amounting to 90% in value of the shares to which the offer relates, subject to the rights of any Shareholders who have not accepted the offer to apply to the court for relief. Certain time limits apply.

TECHNICAL GLOSSARY

Aeromagnetic	An aeromagnetic survey is a common type of geophysical survey carried out using a magnetometer aboard or towed behind an aircraft. the magnetometer measures and records the total intensity of the magnetic field at the sensor, which is a combination of the desired magnetic field generated in the Earth as well as tiny variations due to the temporal effects of the constantly varying solar wind and the magnetic field of the survey aircraft. By subtracting the solar, regional, and aircraft effects, the resulting aeromagnetic map shows the spatial distribution and relative abundance of magnetic minerals (most commonly the iron oxide mineral magnetite) in the upper levels of the Earth's crust. Because different rock types differ in their content of magnetic minerals, the magnetic map allows a visualization of the geological structure of the upper crust in the subsurface, particularly the spatial geometry of bodies of rock and the presence of faults and folds.
amorphous graphite	A natural mineral. Contrary to the name, amorphous graphite is not truly amorphous, but is a microcrystalline form of natural graphite. It is granular except in extremely fine grinds, which have a flakey structure.
banded granulite and charnockite	Granulite and charnockite laid down in separate horizontal layers.
basic pyroxene granulite and pyroxene gneiss	Granulites and Gneiss metamorphic rocks containing rock-forming silicate minerals.
Charnockite	Any orthopyroxene-bearing quartz-feldspar rock, formed at high temperature and pressure.
crystalline graphite	A crystalline form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure. It occurs naturally in this form and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions.
felsic graphic granulite	Granulites that are relatively rich in elements that form feldspar, quartz and graphite.
granulite or retro granulite facies	Granulites are a class of high-grade metamorphic rocks of the granulite facies that have experienced high-temperature and moderate-pressure metamorphism. They are medium to coarse– grained and mainly composed of feldspars sometimes associated with quartz and anhydrous ferromagnesian minerals.
lithologies	The lithology of a rock unit is a description of its physical characteristics visible at outcrop, in hand or core samples, or with low magnification microscopy. Physical characteristics include colour, texture, grain size, and composition. Lithology may refer to either a detailed description of these characteristics, or a summary of the gross physical character of a rock. Lithology is the basis of subdividing rock sequences into individual lithostratigraphic units for the purposes of mapping and correlation between areas.
Mafic-Granulite	A granulite with >30 per cent. mafic minerals. (Mafic is an adjective describing a silicate mineral or igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron) (Granulites are a class of high-grade metamorphic rocks of the granulite facies that have experienced high-temperature and moderate-pressure metamorphism.)

(iii) an allotment in connection with the valid exercise of any warrants over Ordinary Shares granted by the Company, including the Existing Warrants;
(iv) otherwise, Ordinary Shares up to a maximum of 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares

The powers granted by this resolution will expire on the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting (unless renewed, varied or revoked by the Company prior to or on such date) save that the Company may, before such expiry make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power conferred by this resolution has expired.
