announce the issue of warrants (if so elected) at the earliest
opportunity in each calendar quarter. This election will be made by
the Board with each Director taking into consideration the working
capital position of the Company. On this occasion warrants are
being issued for two calendar quarters given the likelihood that
the Company will be in a closed period at the start of Q2 2024.
The Company also announces the issue of 87,719,298 warrants, on
the same terms as the Warrants issued to Directors to Mr Duncan

2024.
