Fundraising and Restoration of Trading

Director/PDMR Holdings

Further to its announcement of 9 September 2026, when the Company entered a Capital Access Window trading halt, Sunrise Resources plc (AIM: SRES), wishes to announce that it has conditionally raised £320,000 before expenses (“the Placing”) through the issue of 2,133,333,330 new Ordinary Shares of 0.001p each (the "Placing Shares”) at the price of 0.015 pence per Placing Share (the “Placing Price”).

The issue of the Placing Shares is conditional only on their admission to trading on AIM (“Admission”).

The Placing was arranged through the Company’s broker, AlbR Capital Limited (“AlbR”).

Each Placing Share will be issued with one warrant (the “Placing Warrants”) which will entitle the holder to apply for one new Ordinary Share in the capital of the Company at a price of 0.0175 pence per share at any time within 12 months from the date of issue. Should the average closing mid-market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM be equal to or greater than 0.0225 pence for five consecutive trading days from the date of issue of the Placing Warrants, the Company has the option to serve notice on the warrant holders to exercise the Placing Warrants and any Placing Warrants remaining unexercised after seven calendar days following the issue of such notice will be cancelled.

The issue of the Placing Shares is subject to Shareholder approval and a Shareholder Circular and a Notice of General Meeting will be issued in due course.

Following this announcement, the Capital Access Window has now closed and trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM will resume at 7:30 a.m. on 17 September 2026.

This includes geophysical exploration at the Reese Ridge and Lake projects in Nevada, USA.
