Tertiary Minerals plc (AIM: TYM),
the London listed explorer focussed on copper and precious metals
in Zambia and Nevada, USA, wishes to announce that it has raised
£880,000, before expenses, through a placing of 1,100,000,000 new
ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") in the Company at a price of
0.08 pence per share (the "Placing Price"), being a 11.1% discount
to the closing market bid price on Tuesday, 27 August 2024 (the

The Placing was arranged through the
Company's joint broker, Peterhouse Capital Limited
("Peterhouse").
Broker Engagement Warrants
Under the terms of its engagement,
Peterhouse will be issued with 55,000,000 warrants ("Broker
Engagement Warrants") to subscribe for further new ordinary shares
at the Placing Price at any time before one year from the date of
Admission.
The Placing Share and the Broker
Engagement Warrants are being issued under the Company's existing
share issue authorities. The Broker Engagement Warrants will not be
admitted to trading on any exchange.
Use
of Proceeds
The net funds raised will be applied
to exploration activities at the Company's projects in Zambia and
Nevada and working capital. This will include drilling for copper
at the Company's Mushima North & Jacks projects in Zambia and
drilling for copper and gold at Brunton Pass in Nevada. These
programmes are additional to the drilling already in progress at
the Konkola West Copper Project, which is being funded by KoBold
Metals, and the planned drilling on the Company's Mukai Copper
Project which will be funded by First Quantum Minerals.
Admission
The Placing Shares will rank pari
passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

Shares the Company's enlarged issued share capital will be
