Harena Resources Plc (LSE: HREE), the rare earths company focused on the Ampasindava ionic clay rare earth project in Madagascar (the “Ampasindava Project“), is pleased to announce that the Company has raised further gross proceeds of approximately £0.18 million at the Issue Price through a oversubscribed Subscription of 12,100,000 new Ordinary Shares (the “Subscription Shares“) with certain institutional and professional investors, conditional on Admission (as defined below).
The Subscription has been undertaken at the Issue Price of 1.5 pence per new Ordinary Share and on the same terms as the Placing announced by the Company on 4 August 2025 (the “Fundraising Announcement“). In total the Placing and the Subscription has raised gross proceeds of approximately £1.23 million.
It is intended that the net proceeds of the Subscription will be deployed by the Company for the same purposes as that of the Placing as detailed in the Company’s announcement on 31 July 2025.
Admission
Applications have been made: (i) to the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) for the admission of the 12,100,000 Subscription Shares to trading on the equity shares (transition) category of the Official List of the FCA; and (ii) to trading on the London Stock Exchange for the admission of the 12,100,000 Subscription Shares to trading on its main market for listed securities (together, “Admission”). Admission is expected to take place on 8.00 a.m. on or around 18 August 2025.
Total voting rights
Immediately following Admission, the Company will have 495,984,352 ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in issue, each with one voting right. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company’s total number of ordinary shares in issue and voting rights will be 495,984,352 and this figure may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Warrants
In line with the Company’s announcement on 31 July 2025, the Company has conditionally agreed to issue a further 5,000,000 Fee Warrants to Ivan Murphy and Paul Richards for their services in respect of the Subscription. The Fee Warrants are exercisable at 3 pence for a period of five years from the date of Admission. The Fee Warrants are not subject to any vesting conditions. The Fee Warrants will not be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange. Consequently, a total of 40,000,000 Fee Warrants and 40,000,000 Performance Warrants have been issued to date.

#FCM First Class Metals PLC – Admission of Shares
First Class Metals PLC (“First Class Metals” “FCM” or the “Company”), the UK listed metals exploration company seeking economic metal discoveries across its extensive Canadian Schreiber-Hemlo, Sunbeam and Zigzag land holdings, announces that in respect of the 16,373,674 new ordinary shares (“Shares”) issued since the Company’s IPO on 29 July 2022, no applications were made for the Shares to be admitted to trading. This is a result of the Company and its Directors being given incorrect information by its former financial adviser.
In order to correct this position, the Company will now commence applications for the Shares to be admitted to trading on the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. To ensure compliance with the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the Shares will be admitted in four tranches as follows:
i) 13,134,411 Shares will be admitted to trading on or around 23 January 2024;
ii) 2,626,882 Shares will be admitted to trading on or around 26 January 2024;
iii) 525,376 Shares will be admitted to trading on or around 31 January 2024; and
iv) 87,005 Shares will be admitted to trading on or around 5 February 2024.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s issued share capital remains 82,045,729 ordinary shares of 0.1p each, with one vote per share (and no such shares are held in treasury). The total number of voting rights is therefore 82,045,729 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations to determine if they have a notifiable interest in the share capital of the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, or if such interest has changed.

First Class Metals PLC – Background
First Class Metals is focussed on exploration in Ontario, Canada which has a robust and thriving junior mineral exploration sector. Specifically, the Hemlo ‘camp’ is a proven world class address for gold /VMS exploration. This geological terrane has significant production, both base / precious metals and a prolific number of exploration projects and numerous prospector’s ‘showings’.
FCM currently holds 100% ownership of seven claim blocks covering over 180km² along a 150km strike of the Hemlo-Schreiber-Dayohessarah greenstone belt which also contains the >23M oz shear hosted Hemlo gold mine operated by Barrick Gold. Late last year FCM completed the option to purchase the historical high grade (gold) Sunbeam past producing mine.
The significant potential of the properties for precious, base and battery metals relate to: ‘nearology’ insomuch that all properties lie close to identified mineral anomalism, for example Palladium One’s RJ and Smoke Lake nickel projects are close to the FCM’s West Pickle Lake drill proven Ni-Cu project. This also demonstrates the second critical asset the properties hold: vector, anomalies, be they geological, geochemical, or geophysical that have demonstrated mineral potential extend on to FCM’s properties.
The inferred shear on the Esa property is being explored by neighbours both to the west and east where it crosses into their properties. Furthermore, the properties have not been extensively explored either historically or more contemporaneously. This is attributable to the overall lack of outcrop. However, modern exploration techniques are better able to ‘see through’ the ground cover and to identify anomalies.
