Primary Bid Offer
Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), a mining development and
exploration company with a focus on precious and base metals, is
pleased to announce a conditional retail offer for subscription via
PrimaryBid (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares of nominal
value GBP0.001 each in the capital of the Company (the "New
Ordinary Shares"). The price at which the New Ordinary Shares are
to be placed is 14.5p per New Ordinary Shares (the "Issue
Price").
The Company is also conducting a non-pre-emptive Placing (the
"Placing") and subscription by directors and officers (the
"Subscription") of New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price by way of
an accelerated bookbuild process as announced earlier today.
The Retail Offer, the Placing and Subscription (together the
"Fundraise") are conditional on, among other things, the New
Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on AIM, the market of
that name operated by London Stock Exchange plc. Admission is
expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 24 November 2021.
The Retail Offer will not complete unless the Placing and the
Subscription also completes.
The Company will use the net proceeds from the Fundraise to
-- fast track the development of the Company's flagship asset,
the Havieron gold-copper deposit ("Havieron"), in conjunction with
joint venture partner Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest");
-- execute the resource growth roadmap including growth drilling
at Havieron and to explore the wider Havieron breccia system;
-- accelerate exploration activities on the Company's 100%-owned
licenses to target new discoveries similar to Havieron in the
Paterson region; and
-- to pay certain costs associated with working capital and
general corporate purposes.
Retail Offer
The Company values its retail investor base and is therefore
pleased to provide private and other investors the opportunity to
participate in the Retail Offer by applying exclusively through the
PrimaryBid mobile app (available on the Apple App Store and Google
Play). PrimaryBid does not charge investors any commission for this
service.
The Retail Offer, via the PrimaryBid mobile app, is now open to
individual and institutional investors and will close at 9.00 p.m.
on 18 November 2021. The Retail Offer may close early if it is
oversubscribed.
The Company and the Joint Bookrunners reserves the right to
scale back any order at its discretion. The Company and PrimaryBid
reserve the right to reject any application for subscription under
the Retail Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.
No commission is charged to investors on applications to
participate in the Retail Offer made through PrimaryBid. It is
vital to note that once an application for New Ordinary Shares
under the Retail Offer (the "Retail Shares") has been made and
accepted via PrimaryBid, an application cannot be withdrawn.
For further information on PrimaryBid or the procedure for
applications under the Retail Offer, visit www.primarybid.com or
email PrimaryBid at enquiries@primarybid.com .
The New Ordinary Shares will be issued free of all liens,
charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank
pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary
shares, including, without limitation, the right to receive all
dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the
date of issue.
Details of the Retail Offer
Given the longstanding support of retail shareholders, the
Company believes that it is appropriate to provide retail and other
interested investors the opportunity to participate in the Retail

it would be unlawful to do so. In particular, the Retail Offer is
being made only to persons who are, and at the time the Retail
Shares are subscribed for, will be outside the United States and

defined in, and in accordance with, Regulation S ("Regulation S")
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). Persons who are resident or otherwise located in the United
States will not be eligible to register for participation in the
Retail Offer through PrimaryBid or subscribe for Retail Shares.

investment, taxation or legal advice.
