#AYM Anglesey Mining PLC – Placing and Subscription to raise approximately £680,000 and Appointment of AlbR Capital as Joint Corporate Broker
Anglesey Mining plc (AIM:AYM), the minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that AlbR Capital Limited has conditionally raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately £680,000, by means of a placing (the “ Placing ”) of 10,491,663 new ordinary shares of nominal value £0.01 (“ Ordinary Shares ”) each in the capital of the Company (the “ Placing Shares ”), to certain institutional and other investors raising gross proceeds of approximately £630,000, and a direct subscription of 833,333 new Ordinary Shares (the “ Subscription Shares ”), to raise approximately £50,000 (the “ Subscription ”) (together the “ Fundraising ”), in each case at a price of £0.06 (6 pence) per share (the “ Issue Price ”).
Participants in the Fundraising will receive 1 warrant for every new Ordinary Share subscribed for, exercisable at £0.07 (7 pence) per share for a period of 12 months from date of grant (the ” Warrants “). If exercised in full, the exercise of the Warrants would provide an additional £792,749.72 of gross proceeds to the Company.
The Subscription is being supported by the Company’s largest shareholder, Energold Minerals Inc. (“ Energold ”), which will invest £49,999.98 at the Issue Price. Upon completion of the Fundraising, Energold will be interested in 14,951,233 ordinary shares of nominal value £0.01 each (“ Ordinary Shares ”), representing approximately 23.1% of the enlarged issued share capital.
The Fundraising is being undertaken by AlbR Capital Limited (” AlbR “). The Company is also pleased to announce that AlbR has been formally appointed as joint Corporate Broker, with immediate effect.
The appointment of AlbR follows the £350,000 investment by Energold and the recent restructuring of the Company’s balance sheet, eliminating approximately £4 million in debt, as further described in the announcement of 5 December 2025.
Anglesey is now fully focused on advancing an exploration and development strategy for its 100%-owned Parys Mountain copper-zinc-lead-gold-silver project (see “ Use of Proceeds ” below).
Pursuant to the engagement of AlbR, 400,000 new Ordinary Shares will be issued to AlbR in respect of its annual retainer for the next 12 months (“ Retainer Shares ”). The Retainer Shares will be issued based on the closing mid-price on Friday, 6 March 2026 of £0.075 (7.5 pence) per Ordinary Share.
Anglesey Mining CEO, Rob Marsden, commented : “We are pleased to welcome AlbR, as we seek to expand the Company profile and broaden the Company’s shareholder base. AlbR has already been assisting the Company and we look forward to working with them as we continue to advance Parys Mountain.”
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds of the Fundraising are expected to be applied towards:
- £250,000: initiation of dewatering the existing shaft to facilitate exploration efforts, advance the pumped energy storage project and support eventual mine development.
- £50,000: analysis of existing core samples from previous drilling campaigns which have not, thus far, been incorporated into resource models.
- £100,000: for ongoing exploration to include aero-geophysics and ground follow up.
- £200,000: for G&A/Working Capital.
The actual use of proceeds may vary at the Company’s discretion based on the results of work undertaken or other factors.
Further Details of the Fundraising and Warrants
The Company has, conditional on Admission of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares, raised £679,499.76 (before expenses) through the Placing and Subscription with institutional and other investors for a total of, in aggregate, 11,324,996 new Placing Shares and Subscription Shares at 6 pence per share. The Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will be issued on a non-pre-emptive basis pursuant to the authorities granted to the Board at the Company’s annual general meeting held in February.
Jim Williams, non-executive director of the Company, is participating in the Placing for an aggregate subscription of £9,999.96 for 166,666 Placing Shares.
The Placing Shares, Subscription and Retainer Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue and therefore will rank equally for all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after the issue of the new Ordinary Shares.
The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 20 per cent to the closing middle market price of 7.5 pence per Ordinary Share on 6 March 2026, being the latest business day prior to the announcement of the Fundraising.
Participants in the Fundraising will be issued with one Warrant for each new Ordinary Share subscribed for, resulting in the issue of 11,324,996 Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable at a price of 7 pence for a period of 12 months from the date of issue. The Warrants will not be transferable and will not be traded on an exchange.
Related Party Transaction
Energold has agreed to subscribe, in aggregate, for 833,333 Subscription Shares at the Issue Price and will receive 833,333 Warrants, on the same terms and conditions as other participating investors. Energold is a related party for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules by virtue of being a substantial shareholder in Anglesey, and its participation in the Fundraising constitutes a related party transaction (as defined by the AIM Rules).
The Directors of Anglesey, save for Brendan Cahill (a representative of Energold), consider, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, that the terms of Energold’s participation in the Fundraising are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
Admission to Trading
Application will be made for the 10,491,663 Placing Shares, 833,333 Subscription Shares and the 400,000 Retainer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (” Admission “). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 13 March 2026.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the Company’s enlarged issued share capital will comprise 64,814,303 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds no shares in treasury. This figure may be used by shareholders for the purposes of the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

#FCM First Class Metals PLC – Repayment of Loan and Share Placing
First Class Metals PLC (“First Class Metals” “FCM” or the “Company”) is a UK metals exploration company focused on the discovery of economic metal deposits across its extensive Canadian – northern Ontario land holding, is pleased to announce that it has completed the repayment of the shares loaned to the Company by James Knowles, a director of FCM.
Mr Knowles previously loaned the Company two tranches of shares totalling 5,912,059 ordinary shares of £0.001 par value (“Shares”), as announced on 17 July 2024, and consequently 5,912,059 new Shares (“Loan Shares”) have been issued to him today to settle this outstanding position.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Applications will be made to the FCA and the LSE for admission (“Admission”) of the 5,912,059 Loan Shares, which is expected to be on or around 7 August 2024. These shares rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.
Following Admission, the Company has 97,653,420 Shares in issue, each with one vote per share (and none of which are held in treasury). The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 97,653,420. This figure of 97,653,420 may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for calculations to determine if they have a notifiable interest in the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, or if such interest has changed.
Share Placing
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has completed a private placing of 9,500,000 Shares at a price of 2.7 pence per Share (the “Placing Price”), raising gross proceeds of £256,500 (the “Placing”). Axis Capital Markets, acted as the Company’s sole placing agent in respect of the Placing. The company are pleased to appoint Axis Capital Markets as its new broker following the completion of the fundraising.
The Placing Price represents a 16% discount to the mid-market closing price of the Company’s shares on 1 August 2024, the last trading date prior to the completion of the placing.
The proceeds from the Placing, are intended to be used to continue the Company’s activities across the portfolio aimed at enhancing value, including:
– Expansion and development of the company’s exploration activities on the Dead Otter Trend North, Hemlo.
– Work will include the expansion and potential addition of further stripping and channel sampling sites accelerating exploration further across the 3.7km long Dead Otter Trend.
– Exploration activities on FCM’s other core projects in Northern Ontario.
– For general working capital purposes.
James Knowles, Executive Chairman, Commented:
“In light of the recent announcements regarding the high priority status of the Dead Otter Trend, it was considered wise to take advantage of the crews and equipment already mobilised at the site to increase both the number and scope of stripping sites.
We believe that the Dead Otter project holds transformative potential for FCM’s future, and completing this capital raise promptly will allow significant additional work this summer, thus enhancing our understanding of the geology and the target’s true potential.
Marc Sale, our CEO, is currently onsite overseeing operations and will collaborate closely with the Emerald Geological Team to formulate an expanded operational plan.
I am also pleased to announce the appointment of Axis Capital Markets to be the Company’s new broker”
Director’s-Stock Lending Agreement(s)
The Company does not presently have sufficient headroom to enable the Shares subject to the Placing to be admitted to trading without the publication of an FCA approved prospectus. The Company is therefore proposing that following Admission, James Knowles, a director of the Company, loans 9,500,000 Shares to the Company by means of a share loan agreement (the “Share Lending Agreement”), to facilitate the Placing by the Company. This loan involves no consideration being paid or security granted to James Knowles or a chargeable fee.
The Placing is expected to be completed on or around 21 August 2024.
The Share Lending Agreements provide for the allotment of an aggregate of 9,500,000 new Shares in the Company to James Knowles by 30 December 2024 to replace the Shares loaned in terms of the Share Lending Agreement.
James Knowles has elected not to charge a fee for the loan of these shares.
Following the Share Lending Agreement, James Knowles will have a total of 9,500,000 Shares loaned to the Company.
Material Related Party Transaction
As James Knowles is a director of the Company, the Share Lending Agreement is a material related party transaction (“MRPT”) under the Disclosure Transparency & Guidance Rules.
Marc Sale, Marc Bamber and Andrew Williamson, being the independent directors for the purpose of this MRPT, have approved the MRPT as being fair and reasonable from the perspective of FCM and its shareholders.

#BRES Blencowe Resources PLC – Subscription & Conditional Subscription – Replace
New Investor
The Company is pleased to report it has raised US$500,000 (£392,350) at 5 pence per share with a specialist African-based investor (“African Investor”) through the issue of 7,847,000 new ordinary shares. The investor has undertaken extensive due diligence over the last four months and the current investment is viewed as an initial entry into the project ahead of anticipated further investment as required. The shares have been issued to the African Investor under the Company’s existing headroom.
Additional Investor and the Issue of a Prospectus
In addition, the Company has conditionally raised a further £2,500,000 at 5 pence resulting in the issue of 50,000,000 new ordinary shares to an additional strategic investor (“Strategic Investor”). The Company is required to publish a prospectus on the basis that it will be issuing more than 20% of its issued share capital in a 12-month period. The Company and its advisers are in advanced stages of finalising the prospectus. The Company anticipates publishing the prospectus this month and will update shareholders prior to its publication.
Conditional Subscription
The Strategic Investor has received investment committee approval and made a firm commitment to subscribe. The subscription by the Strategic Investor is subject to the Company issuing the prospectus, a general meeting by the Company to approve certain resolutions relating to the issue of new ordinary shares, settlement of the investment and the issue and allotment of the new ordinary shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, the subscription by the African Investor is firm and not contingent on any investment by the Strategic Investor. The subscription funds have been received from the African Investor and the Company shall apply for the new ordinary shares to commence trading.
Admission
An application has been made for 7,847,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the official list and the London Stock Exchange from 8.00 a.m. on Monday 12 February 2024 (“Admission”).
In accordance with the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company confirms that following Admission, the Company’s enlarged issued ordinary share capital will comprise 217,226,950 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, following Admission, the above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations to 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.
Mike Ralston, CEO of Blencowe Resources, commented:
‘I am pleased to provide this positive update with respect to our fundraising initiatives. As previously reported, we have already received US$2,000,000 in grant funding from the US International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”) out of their approved US$5,000,000 grant. A further US$1,000,000 is expected from the DFC in the near term as the next milestones have been met.
We now welcome a new specialist African investor to the register following the fundraise of US$500,000 at 5 pence, which represents a healthy premium to the current market price and underlines their decision to invest for the long term after an extensive due diligence exercise. We reasonably believe that they will look to invest further as our relationship is built.
Moreover, we are now in the closing stages of a further subscription of £2.5m at 5 pence from another Strategic Investor and we are busily working with our advisers to finalise and issue the prospectus.
Both these investments at 5p underline the value proposition offered by Blencowe and will provide us with a good runway to complete the DFS this year. We are making rapid progress in de-risking the Orom-Cross project, especially following the recent letter of interest received from the DFC to provide a funding solution for the build and development of Orom-Cross. We will continue to work closely with the DFC as we complete the DFS to ensure construction can commence at Orom-Cross in a timely fashion.
I believe it is testament of the quality of the Orom-Cross project that we have been able secure funding partners like this at a time when the junior mining sector continues to face significant difficulties with respect to sourcing capital. We are hoping to deliver an NPV in the DFS significantly higher than the post-tax NPV of US$482M achieved in the Pre-Feasibility Study and will keep shareholders updated on our progress.’

Background
Orom-Cross Graphite Project
Orom-Cross is a potential world class graphite project both by size and end-product quality, with a high component of more valuable larger coarse flakes within the deposit.
A 21-year Mining Licence for the project was issued by the Ugandan Government in 2019 following extensive historical work on the deposit. Blencowe completed a successful Pre-Feasibility Study on the Project in July 2022 and is now within the Definitive Feasibility Study phase as it drives towards first production.
Orom-Cross presents as a large, shallow open-pitable deposit, with an initial JORC Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource of 24.5Mt @ 6.0% TGC (Total Graphite Content). This Resource has been defined from only ~2% of the total tenement area which presents considerable upside potential ahead. Development of the resource is expected to benefit from a low strip ratio and free dig operations together with abundant inexpensive hydro-electric power off the national grid, thereby ensuring low operating costs. With all major infrastructure available at or near to site the capital costs will also be relatively low in comparison to most graphite peers.
