Equity Placing and TVR

14 December 2022

Corcel, the natural resource exploration and development company with interests in nickel, cobalt and other battery metals announces it has raised proceeds of GBP466,000 at a 95% premium to the current share price from AUSPECT Investment PTY Ltd, a private Australian investment company introduced by the proposed incoming Director Mr Zhao.

Chief Executive Officer, Scott Kaintz commented: "Following on from the NPC investment announced in October, we welcome this additional capital, priced at a healthy premium, confirming the Board's view of a current valuation discrepancy in the market. This new investor, when combined with our new NPC cornerstone points to an exciting future for Corcel and its interests and sets the foundation for our operations and direction in 2023."

Equity Raise:

The fundraising has raised gross proceeds of GBP466,000 from the issue of 116,500,000 new ordinary shares of GBP0.0001 (Ordinary Shares) at GBP0.004 (the "Placing Price") per share ("Placing Shares") to AUSPECT Investment PTY Ltd. The Placing Price represents a 95% premium to the closing share price as of 13 December 2022. Settlement is expected on or before 23 December 2022.

The Company has also issued the equity investor with one warrant for every one share exerciseable at GBP0.005 per new warrant share at any time over the next three years ("Warrants"). A portion of the Warrants are to be issued following the Company's Annual General Meeting, currently scheduled for 22 December 2022. AUSPECT Investment PTY Ltd has informed the Company that it ultimately intends to distribute the shares to a Hong Kong registered company with the same name, once that company is set up.

The Company intends to use a portion of the funds from this fundraising to complete the retirement of the corporate debt due in March 2023 as well as for the development of additional opportunities in the battery metals space. The Company is currently active on various potentially transformational battery metal transactions in South America.
