Anglesey Mining Plc (AIM:AYM) is pleased to announce
that, further to its announcement of 7

28 June 2024, it has successfully
completed and closed the Placing and Subscription.
The
Placing and Subscription raised, in aggregate, gross proceeds of
£415,000. The Placing comprises the placing of 32,500,000 Ordinary
Shares (the “Placing
Shares”) with
certain institutional and other investors at a price of
1 pence per share (the
“Issue
Price”), and
the Subscription comprised a subscription of 9,000,000 Ordinary
Shares (“Subscription
Shares“) at a
price of 1 pence per
share.
The
Placing and Subscription is conditional on, amongst other matters,
Admission.
The net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription
will be applied to developmental
work at Parys Mountain, advancing development options at
Grängesberg Iron Ore Mine, debt repayment; and general working
capital purposes.
The
Company has been notified of the following participants in the
Subscription (conditional only on admission of the Subscription

Admission
and Total Voting Rights
Application
has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the

may be agreed between the Company and the Bookrunner, but no later
than 28 July 2024).
The
Placing Shares and the Subscription Shares will be issued fully
paid and will rank pari
passu in
all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary
Shares.
Following
Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of
the Company in issue will be 461,593,017 with voting rights. This

Company's share capital pursuant to (i) the Company's Articles,
(ii) the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules and/or (iii) the AIM Rules for Companies issued
by the London Stock Exchange plc as amended from time to
time.

jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Persons
into whose possession this Announcement comes are required by the
Company and the Bookrunner to inform themselves about, and to

solicitation of an offer to buy, acquire or subscribe for shares in
the capital of the Company in the United
States, Australia,
Canada, Japan, South
Africa, New Zealand or any
other state or jurisdiction. This Announcement has not been
approved by the London Stock Exchange. Any failure to comply with
these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities
laws of such jurisdictions.
The

Act”) or with
any securities regulatory authority of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States
and may not be offered, sold, pledged, taken up, exercised, resold,
renounced, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or
into the United States absent
registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance
with any applicable securities laws of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States.
The Placing Shares have not been approved, disapproved or
recommended by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any
state securities commission in the United
States or any other U.S. regulatory authority, nor have any
of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of
the offering of the Placing Shares. Subject to certain exceptions,
the securities referred to herein may not be offered or sold in
the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, South

No public
offering of the Placing Shares is being made in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere. All offers of the
Placing Shares will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/1129)
(“Prospectus
Regulation”) or the
Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic UK law pursuant
to the EUWA (“UK
Prospectus Regulation”) and
other enacting measures (as the case may be) from the requirement
to produce a prospectus. This Announcement is being distributed to
persons in the United Kingdom only
in circumstances in which section 21(1) of FSMA does not
apply.
No

contained in this Announcement and no such prospectus is required
(in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation or UK Prospectus
Regulation) to be published. This Announcement and the terms and
conditions set out herein are for information purposes only and are

in only with Relevant Persons.
This
Announcement includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be,
"forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including
the terms "believes", "estimates", "plans", "anticipates",
"targets", "aims", "continues", "expects", "intends", "hopes",
"may", "will", "would", "could" or "should" or, in each case, their
negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These
forward-looking statements include matters that are not facts. They
appear in a number of places throughout this Announcement and
include statements regarding the Directors' intentions, beliefs or
current expectations concerning, amongst other things, the Group's
results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects,
growth, strategies and the industries in which the Group operates.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and
uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances.
A number of factors could cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: ability
to find appropriate investments in which to invest and to realise
investments held by the Group; conditions in the public markets;
the market position of the Group; the earnings, financial position,
cash flows, return on capital and operating margins of the Group;
the anticipated investments and capital expenditures of the Group;
changing business or other market conditions; changes in political
or tax regimes, exchange rates and clients; and general economic
conditions. These and other factors could adversely affect the
outcome and financial effects of the plans and events described
herein. Forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement
based on past trends or activities should not be taken as a
representation that such trends or activities will continue in the
future. Subject to any requirement under the AIM Rules or other
applicable legislation or regulation, neither the Company nor the
Bookrunner undertake any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date of this Announcement.
No
statement in this Announcement or incorporated by reference into
this Announcement is intended to constitute a profit forecast or
profit estimate for any period, nor should any statement be
interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will
necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant
preceding financial periods for the Company.
This
Announcement contains information regarding the Company's business
and the markets in which it operates and competes, which the
Company has obtained from various third party sources. Where
information has been sourced from a third party it has been
accurately reproduced and, so far as the Company is aware and is
able to ascertain from the information published by that third
party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced
information inaccurate or misleading. Such information has not been
audited or independently verified.
Certain
data in this Announcement, including financial, statistical and
operating information, has been rounded.
This
Announcement is for information purposes only and shall not
constitute an offer to buy, sell, issue, or subscribe for, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, sell, issue, or subscribe for any
securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
This
Announcement has been issued by and is the sole responsibility of
the Company. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is
or will be made as to, or in relation to, and no responsibility or
liability is or will be accepted by the Bookrunner or by any of
their respective affiliates or agents as to, or in relation to, the
accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or any other written
or oral information made available to or publicly available to any

Information
to Distributors
Solely for
the purposes of the product governance requirements contained
within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial
instruments, as amended (“MiFID
II”); (b)
Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593
supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures
(together, the “MiFID
II Product Governance Requirements”), and
disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort,
contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes
of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have
with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a
product approval process, which has determined that such securities
are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors
and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)
eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are
permitted by MiFID II (the “Target
Market Assessment”).
Notwithstanding
the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the
price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose
all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no
guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in
the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not
need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone
or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser)
are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an
investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any
losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is
without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or
regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the
Placing.
Furthermore,
it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the
Bookrunner will only procure investors who meet the criteria of
professional clients and eligible counterparties.
For the
avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not
constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for
the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor
or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other
action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.
Each
distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
