PROSPECTUS

The placing of 108,888,885 new ordinary shares raised gross £2.45m, while the subscription of 21,111,110 new ordinary shares with a strategic major shareholder raised £475,000.

Each fundraise share also has one warrant attached, exercisable at 4.5p per share.

The company said that the “heavily oversubscribed” fundraise is subject to the Financial Conduct Authority’s approval of a prospectus, which is in its final stages.

Net proceeds will fund continued resource definition drilling, ahead of an inaugural mineral resource estimate during Q3 2026, at its Agadir Melloul copper-silver project in central Morocco.

Critical Mineral also aims to assess new acquisitions in the country.
