Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, Arkle will have 1,521,110,997 Ordinary Shares in issue which will also represent the total number of voting rights in the Company.

Grant of Share Options

Arkle also announces the grant of share options over 130,000,000 Ordinary Shares to certain key employees, advisers, consultants and directors, with an exercise price of 0.95 pence, approximately a 65% premium to the Company's closing share price on 1 April 2026, (the "Options"), to incentivise long-term growth reflected in the Company's valuation.

About Arkle Resources

Arkle Resources PLC (LSE:ARK) is a multi-commodity exploration company focused on metals which are essential for the generation and storage of clean energy - uranium, lithium and zinc. Its projects are in premier mining jurisdictions in Namibia, Botswana and Ireland, adjacent to world-class deposits.

Founded in 2004 by John Teeling and Jim Finn, the Company co-discovered the Stonepark zinc deposit in County Limerick - now Ireland's second largest undeveloped resource - in joint venture with Teck Ireland. Teck's interest was acquired by Group Eleven Resources (TSX-V: ZNG), who continue to advance the project alongside Arkle.

In January 2026, the Company announced a transformative deal to acquire Namibia Uranium, which has introduced four highly prospective uranium licences contiguous to major producing and development assets in what is a world-class uranium jurisdiction.

This acquisition, alongside the Company's existing licence portfolio and the introduction of new management, repositions Arkle to become a leading explorer in energy metals.
