Placing to raise £600,000

26 November 2014 Sula Iron & Gold plc ("Sula" or the "Company") Placing to raise £600,000 Sula Iron and Gold plc, a multi-commodity exploration company focused on Sierra Leone, announces that it has raised £600,000, through a placing of 36,363,636 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 1.65p per Placing Share with a single institutional investor (the "Placing"). The net proceeds of the Placing will be used to accelerate Sula's exploration programmes, specifically its coltan programme. Conditional upon a positive outcome to the Company's on-going coltan exploration programme, Sula will consider commissioning a small pilot plant to process a number of bulk samples from the Ferensola Project. The potential benefits to Sula of putting in place this small processing plant are in delivering suitable size, quality and timely samples to a potential off-taker. In addition, the Company will gain a better understanding of the metallurgy of the ore body, production and processing costs which, if successful, may lead to a full mining licence. Sula CEO Nick Warrell said: "I am pleased to announce that we have raised these funds, in addition to those announced on 14 November 2014, and the continuing support from our investors. Discussions with a potential off-taker for our coltan are ongoing and these new monies will allow us to accelerate this programme to a point where, dependent on the outcome of the current phase of exploration, we will consider establishing a small pilot processing plant for the coltan and all the benefits that would result therefrom." The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading on AIM of the Placing Shares ("Admission"). Completion of the Placing is conditional on, inter alia, Admission. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 2 December 2014. Following the issue and allotment of the Placing Shares, the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital will comprise 356,848,594 Ordinary Shares (" Enlarged Share Capital"). The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. This figure of 356,848,594 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. **ENDS** For further information please visit www.sulaironandgold.com or contact the following: Sula Iron & Gold plc +44 (0) 20 7583 8304 Nick Warrell / Matt Wood Cairn Financial Advisers LLP (Nominated Adviser) +44 (0) 20 7148 7900 James Caithie / Avi Robinson VSA Capital Limited (Broker) +44 (0) 20 3617 5177 Bhavesh Patel / Richard Buckle Strand Hanson (Financial Adviser) +44 (0) 20 7409 3494 Simon Raggett / James Harris Yellow Jersey PR (Financial PR) +44 (0) 7768 537 739 Dominic Barretto / Kelsey Traynor Notes Sula Iron & Gold plc is a multi-commodity exploration company focused in West Africa.
