Notice of change of Significant Shareholder

Base Resources Limited (ASX & AIM: BSE) (Base Resources) advises that it has received notification from UBS Group AG and its related bodies corporate (UBS) that, on 5 May 2020, UBS reduced their voting power in Base Resources by 25,536,738 ordinary shares.
