("Tertiary" or "the Company")
Placing to raise £375,000
Tertiary Minerals plc (AIM: TYM), the London listed explorer focussed on copper and precious metals in Zambia and Nevada, USA, wishes to announce that it has raised £375,000, before expenses, through a placing of 468,750,000 new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") in the Company at a price of 0.08 pence per share (the "Placing Price"), being a 15.8% discount to the closing market bid price on Friday 9 February 2024 (the "Placing").
The Placing was arranged through the Company's joint broker, Peterhouse Capital Limited ("Peterhouse").
Mr Patrick Cheetham, Executive Chairman of the Company, has subscribed £20,000 for 25,000,000 Placing Shares as part of the Placing. Mr Cheetham's subscription constitutes a related party transaction in accordance with AIM Rule 13. The independent directors of the Company (being Mr Donald McAlister and Dr Mike Armitage), having consulted with SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the terms of Mr Cheetham's participation in the Placing are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Following the issue of the Placing Shares, Mr. Cheetham will be beneficially interested in 46,465,000 Ordinary Shares (including 2,843,625 Ordinary Shares held by his wife, Karen Cheetham), representing approximately 1.80% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.
Broker Engagement Warrants
Under the terms of its engagement, and subject to the passing of resolutions 4 and 5 at the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 14 February 2024, Peterhouse will be issued with 23,437,500 warrants ("Broker Engagement Warrants") to subscribe for further new ordinary shares at the Placing Price at any time before one year from the date of Admission. The Broker Engagement Warrants will not be admitted to trading on any exchange.
The Placing Shares are being issued under the Company's existing share issue authorities.
Use of Proceeds
The net funds raised will be applied to exploration activities at the Company's projects in Zambia and Nevada and working capital.
Admission
The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares.
An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00a.m. on or around Friday 16 February 2024.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission of the Placing Shares the Company's enlarged issued share capital will be 2,574,835,049 ordinary shares.
