AfriTin Mining Limited
("AfriTin" or the "Company")
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Distribution of Audited Financial Results
AfriTin Mining Limited (AIM: ATM), an African tin mining company with its flagship asset, the Uis Tin Mine ("Uis") in Namibia, would like to notify shareholders that the full Annual Report along with a Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be distributed to shareholders today and is now available on the Company's website (www.afritinmining.com).
The AGM will be held at Oak House, Hirzel Street, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 3RH on 25 August 2021 at 11:00 am BST.
Arrangements for the annual general meeting in light of COVID-19:
The Company is carefully monitoring the COVID-19 situation, including the guidance issued by the States of Guernsey, and will continue to do so in the lead up to the Meeting.
At the date of this announcement, restrictions on movement within Guernsey have been lifted but persons arriving into the Bailiwick of Guernsey are presently required to self-isolate for periods of up to 14 days depending on the country from and/or through which they have travelled (and subject to one or more negative COVID-19 tests). With effect from 1 July 2021, persons who are fully vaccinated and who in the previous 14 days have only been within the Common Travel Area of the UK, Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man will be able to travel to Guernsey without having to self-isolate or undergo a COVID-19 test. However, this concession may change prior to the date of the Meeting.
It is expected that shareholders in Guernsey, or those who wish to travel to Guernsey for the Meeting subject to quarantine measures, will be able to attend the Meeting as normal. However, the Board recognises that this may not be possible for the majority of shareholders and has put in place the following precautions (the "COVID-19 Precautions"):
1. The Company urges shareholders to vote by proxy and to appoint the chairman of the Meeting as their proxy for that purpose. If a shareholder appoints someone other than the chairman of the Meeting as their proxy, that proxy, if not present in Guernsey, may not be able physically to attend the Meeting or cast the shareholder's vote. All votes on the resolutions contained in this Notice will be held by poll, so that all voting rights exercised by shareholders who are entitled to do so at the Meeting will be counted.
2. The Board encourages all shareholders to exercise their votes by proxy, and to submit any questions in respect of the Meeting in advance. This should ensure that your votes are registered in the event that attendance at the Meeting is not possible. Shareholders are encouraged to use the online voting facilities detailed in the Notice of Annual General Meeting where possible rather than submitting a paper proxy card to the Company Secretary, the Oak Trust.
3. Shareholders who do choose to attend the Meeting in person are asked to comply with the States of Guernsey's guidance on respecting personal space and practising good hand hygiene, and with any distancing requirements requested by the chairman of the meeting.
The security arrangements proposed by the Board are subject to constant review, and should they be subject to change in line with changing guidance from the States of Guernsey, or in the event that the situation surrounding COVID-19 should affect the plans to hold the Meeting at the proposed date and time or at the proposed address, the Company will update shareholders through a market announcement and will provide further details on the Company's website. The Board reserves the right, should it become necessary, to restrict attendance at the Meeting as part of security arrangements pursuant to Article 46 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles").
