Notice of General Meeting

 

Rome Resources plc (AIM: RMR), the DRC-focused tin and copper explorer, announces that a circular (the "Circular") containing a notice convening the General Meeting of the Company (the "GM") will be posted to shareholders later today.

 

The GM will be held at the offices of Fasken Martineau LLP, 6th Floor, 100 Liverpool Street, London EC2M 2AT at 11.00 am on 2 April 2026.

 

A copy of the Notice of GM and Form of Proxy will shortly be available from the Company's website www.romeresources.com.

 

Proposed resolutions:

 

The Company is seeking the requisite authorities to issue new Ordinary Shares under Resolutions 1 and 2 at the GM.

 

The share allotment authorities being sought pursuant to the Resolutions (the "Share Allotment Authorities") are in relation to a number of proposed or potential transactions which would involve, in whole or in part, the issue of new Ordinary Shares, a number of examples of which, without limitation, are as outlined below. 

 

·    On 10 March 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into an option agreement (the "Option") to acquire working interests in early-stage exploration licences across 109 km2 of mining claims in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick, close to the Mount Pleasant deposit, hosting the Three Lakes and Schoullar Mountain Projects (the "Projects").  The exercise of the Option will be conditional on, inter alia, Rome Resources paying a total consideration of CAD$300,000, comprising a total of CAD$250,000 in new Ordinary Shares and CAD$50,000 in cash, to be paid over the four years following the entering into of the Option, although the consideration for the exercise of the Option may be satisfied earlier at Rome's discretion. A part of the Share Allotment Authorities are intended allow the Company to allot the new Ordinary Shares in order to satisfy the equity component of the consideration to exercise the Option.

 

·    As originally outlined in the Company's announcement on 30 October 2025, the Board remains in early-stage discussions regarding potential acquisitions to increase its ownership interests in exploration permit PR15130 and mineral exploration permit PR13274. These remain subject to the execution of legally binding agreements, and there can be no certainty that final binding terms will be agreed or as to timing. However, as part of any potential acquisitions to increase its ownership interests, the Company may potentially use a part of the Share Allotment Authorities to issue new Ordinary Shares to third parties who respectively hold interests in exploration permit PR15130 and mineral exploration permit PR13274, as appropriate, as consideration for the Company acquiring these interests. 

 

·    The Company intends to use a part of the Share Allotment Authorities to allow for the exercise of certain warrants over new Ordinary Shares that were granted by the Company in November 2025.

 

The Directors may also use the Share Allotment Authorities to execute further funding transactions and/or acquisitions that the Directors decide adds value to the Projects or the Company, more generally.  

 

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement bear the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular.
