Cononish Gold & Silver Mine ("Cononish") Update

 

The Company is pleased to note that the Cononish processing plant has continued to operate throughout April. As previously announced, reaching the point of commercial production has taken longer than planned, however the Company is on track to make its first shipment of concentrate product expected to be made in the second week of May 2021.

 

Proposed Director Loan

 

As previously announced by the Company on 27 April 2021, the recent delays to the production ramp-up have had and are expected to have a negative impact on the Company's cash position.

 

To ensure the Company has adequate funds available for working capital through this production ramp up period certain directors of the Company, being Nathaniel le Roux,  William "Bill" Styslinger, Peter Hetherington and Ian Proctor,  together with an unrelated third party, have undertaken to provide a short term loan of up to £2m (the "Director Loan"). The Director Loan has not yet been formally executed however, it is expected that this will be executed by end May 2021 at which point a further announcement will be made by the Company.

 

The Company is continuing to review the mine plan for Cononish, the results of which will be announced as soon as it has been completed, which will in turn provide greater certainty about any potential working capital requirement beyond that provided by the Director Loan.
