Starvest Plc ("Starvest" or the "Company")

Net Asset Value at 31 December 2021

Starvest Plc (LON:SVE), the London Stock Exchange AIM-listed specialist mining and resources investment company, announces a Net Asset Value ("NAV") update as at 31 December 2021.

Callum Baxter, Chairman and CEO, commented: "Over the 12 months to 31 December 2021 we experienced declines in the Company's net asset value and our portfolio value of greater than 50% due to the impact of lower gold prices on the broad metals and mining sector and, in particular, our holdings in Greatland Gold and Ariana Resources. Over the two years from 31 Dec 2019 we have increased the Company's net asset value from GBP2.4m to GBP13.9m and reduced the discount to net asset value from 52% to 35%. Despite the anticipated increase in global interest rates to stem inflationary pressures, we believe that expansionary monetary policies, global uncertainty and continued fiscal stimulus support a favourable outlook for gold and precious metals in the longer term.

The NAV as at 31 December 2021 and certain prior periods were as follows:

 
                            31 Dec 2021   30 Sept 2021     31 Dec 2020
