Use of Funds and Management Comment

Funds raised will be used to complete infill and extensional drilling at the Reung Kiet Lithium Project in anticipation of delivering a maiden Mineral Resource followed by a Scoping Study planned for delivery in the First Quarter, CY22; progress exploration applications at the Kata Thong Geothermal Li & Hard Rock Li Project and begin noninvasive exploration work as permitted under the Company’s current General Prospecting Licences; progress additional targeted geothermal lithium and hard rock lithium blocks to formal application; continue the Company’s battery and critical metal project generation program whereby we aim to secure projects which have the potential to be positioned at or near the bottom of the cost curve, have a low carbon footprint, present the Company the opportunity to value add and which are proximal to advanced industrial markets; and to meet general overheads.

The Kata Thong Lithium Project is one such project identified in PAM’s project generation program, a complementary initiative that will focus on the potential for geothermal hosted lithium and associated geothermal energy in southwest Thailand and which is also highly prospective for hard-rock lithium and tin deposits.

Both the geothermal and hard rock aspects of this initiative focus on the renewable energy sector and are commensurate with Thailand’s National and Provincial government policies.

Pan Asia Metals Managing Director Paul Lock said: “The success of the placement sends a strong message that we are on the right track. Our aim is to build a suite of low cost battery and critical metal projects which provide PAM an option to extend beyond the mine gate and value add; we believe the Reung Kiet and Kata Thong lithium projects will help us achieve this. We extend our thanks to Viriathus Capital - their input and management of the program was instrumental to its success – as well as to our Shareholders for their continued support.”

The relevant Appendix 3B has been lodged this morning with the ASX.

With this announcement the Company seeks the lifting of the trading halt.
