Result of Annual General Meeting and Update on Grosvenor Transaction

Ironveld announces that all the proposed resolutions tabled at the Company's Annual General Meeting held earlier today were duly passed.

Further to the announcement dated 21 December 2021, Ironveld is pleased to confirm that the agreement for the Luge transaction with Grosvenor Resources Pty Limited ("Grosvenor") has now been finalised and signed.  The key terms are unchanged:

· Ironveld's 100% owned subsidiary company, Ironveld Mining Pty Limited ("Ironveld Mining"), will sell 51% of the issued share capital of Luge to Grosvenor for a consideration of ZAR 50 million (approximately £2.4 millio n).

· Ironveld's residual interest, held via Ironveld Mining, in Luge will be 23%, with BBBEE and community interests holding the remaining 26%.

There was no value ascribed to Luge according to the Company's last published balance sheet and Luge generated no revenue or profit in the last financial year.

Including the previously signed equity subscription agreement for £5.6 million, Grosvenor's total investment in Ironveld will be approximately £8.0 million.  Grosvenor has been keeping the Ironveld Board closely updated on the progress of its separate funding arrangements and both parties expect closing of the two transactions in the short term.
