("Technology Minerals" or the "Company") 

Fundraise of £700,000

Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the first listed UK company focused on creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals, is pleased to announce that it has raised £700,000 from a long-term shareholder through the issue of convertible loan notes (the "Convertible Loan Notes" or "CLNs"). Costs associated with this funding are being settled by the issue of CLNs for £35,000 on the same terms.

The Convertible Loan Notes carry a coupon of 12% for a term of twelve months from issue and are convertible into Ordinary Shares at 1.4 pence per Ordinary Share.

The Company's 48.25% owned battery recycling group, Recyclus Group Limited, is carrying out commissioning at its first lithium-ion ("Li-ion") recycling plant in Wolverhampton and the CLNs will provide further support as the plant moves towards the commencement of commercial production which is targeted to be by the end of September 2023. In addition, Recyclus' first lead acid battery recycling plant at Tipton is expected to obtain permitting from the Environmental Agency shortly to enable production to commence at industrial scale. The Company continues its twin-track growth strategy to create a circular economy for battery metals with continued development of its battery metals exploration assets.

In connection with the Fundraise, the Company has issued 70,000,000 warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares at an exercise price of 2 pence per share with an exercise period of two calendar years from the date of this agreement. A further 3.5 million warrants in respect of funding costs are being issued on the same terms.

Alex Stanbury, CEO of Technology Minerals, said: "We are pleased to have secured further funding from a long-term shareholder, that puts us in good stead to build upon the excellent progress we have made in establishing our twin-track strategy. The funding will support the Company as it continues to advance its exploration assets up the value curve and Recyclus progresses through the commissioning phase at its Li-ion battery recycling plant and moves closer to commercial production."
