PRODUCTION UNAFFECTED BY REGIONAL STORM

 

Adriatic Metals PLC ("Adriatic" or the "Company") would like to recognize the devastating impact of the recent storms and subsequent flooding on the central and southern regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina and offer our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy.

 

The severe storms, that occurred on 3 October, resulted in short-term water management issues at Rupice mine and the Vares Processing Plant but these were effectively managed, with production continuing as planned.

 

However, the railway line that connects Sarajevo to Ploce Port in Croatia has been damaged in the Jablanica region near Mostar - approx. 70km south of Sarajevo. Certain sections of the railway line have been flooded and covered with debris due to landslides. Due to this damage, concentrate product will instead be trucked to Ploce Port until the railway track is fully repaired and operating safely. The Company previously trucked concentrate to Ploce Port in Q2 and Q3 this year so Adriatic expects no impact on ongoing operations and is confident in utilising road logistics as a temporary solution. Adriatic and other key exporters are working closely with the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Railway to fast track and optimise the repair of the damaged line.

 

Additionally, the Adriatic team is working closely with the local civil protection authorities and the Red Cross to assist with affected local infrastructure in Vares including removing road obstructions that were impacting the community and rebuilding community buildings. Adriatic will be respecting the Day of Mourning on Tuesday 8 October, that has been declared in the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the recent floods and landslides.
