The information contained within this announcement is deemed to constitute inside information as stipulated under the retained EU law version of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (the "UK MAR") which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The information is disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of the UK MAR. Upon the publication of this announcement, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.

Replacement: The following amendments have been made to the 'Holdings in the Company and Director/PDMR Shareholding' announcement released on 7 November 2023 at 15:23 under RNS No 6846S. Following an administrative error having been identified, the Company clarifies the aggregate interest of Century Cobalt Limited ("CCL") in the Ordinary shares (including voting rights) of the Company as at 1 November 2023 had been understated in the announcement on 7 November 2023 by 27,500,000 Ordinary shares, was as follows:

 
                        Direct      Indirect         Total       % 
 Century Cobalt 
  Limited          195,340,318   226,405,895   421,746,213   27.86 
                  ------------  ------------  ------------  ------ 
 

The TR-1 below has been corrected accordingly. The TR-1 notification announced on 5 October 2023, was triggered by the transaction on 19 September 2023 (as previously disclosed), which caused CCL's percentage interest in the Ordinary shares of the Company to cross the 28% threshold. As previously disclosed on 5 October 2023, two further disposals totalling 1,500,000 Ordinary shares were made on 27 and 28 September 2023. As these transactions did not cause a further percentage threshold to be crossed, they were disclosed as a change in PDMR interests only, and not reflected in the form TR-1 dated 5 October 2023.

The full amended text is shown below.

Technology Minerals Plc

("Technology Minerals" or the "Company")

Holdings in the Company and Director/PDMR Shareholding

Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the first listed UK company focused on creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals, announces it has been notified of a Margin Loan Facility agreement from CLG Capital LLC ("CLG") to Century Cobalt Limited ("CCL") for up to GBP1.0 million ("the Facility"). Recyclus Group Ltd ("Recyclus"), Technology Minerals' 48.35% owned battery recycling business, will borrow funds from CCL from time to time to meet Recyclus' working capital requirements.

Loan amounts drawn from CCL by Recyclus under the Facility, which are repayable to CLG after 12 months and which bear interest at the Bank of England base rate plus 10%, are reimbursable to CCL by Recyclus under similar terms. The security on the loan is provided in the form of a charge over shares held by CCL in Technology Minerals. Therefore, 181,405,895 ordinary shares (representing 11.98% of the total issued share capital of the Company) have been transferred from CCL to CLG.

As a result, the aggregate interest of CCL in the Ordinary shares (including voting rights) of the Company as at 1 November 2023, was as follows:

 
                        Direct      Indirect         Total       % 
 Century Cobalt 
  Limited          195,340,318   226,405,895   421,746,213   27.86 
                  ------------  ------------  ------------  ------ 
 

CCL retains voting rights over the 181,405,895 Ordinary shares used as security (which is included in the total amount stated above) which will be returned to CCL on repayment of the Facility by CCL.

CCL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century Cobalt Corp ("CCC"). Alexander Stanbury, a Director of the Company, holds 23.47% of the common stock of CCC and Lester Kemp, a Director of the Company, holds 0.77% of the common stock of CCC.

CLG Capital specialises in structured transactions to high growth companies providing patient capital for the companies it invests in.
