and renegotiation of the Juno working capital facility is an
important milestone for of Anglesey Mining. We are very pleased to
welcome new investors onto the register and see the strong demand
as recognition of the potential quality of the asset base. The
placing will provide funds to generate strong news flow and
potentially substantial value creation for Anglesey's
shareholders.

management to commence important infill drilling of the Northern
Copper Zone - an area of significant interest and potential
resource upside - confirmatory metallurgical testwork, tailings
storage design work and the environmental and permitting
activities.

capital facility with our largest shareholder, Juno. The partial
conversion of debt for equity by way of direct subscription
alongside the Placing demonstrates the ongoing support for which
are very thankful."

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 Joint Bookrunners 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.
