Atalaya Mining plc

("Atalaya" or the "Company")

Proposed Placing to raise up to approximately £39 million (the "Placing")

Atalaya Mining plc (AIM:ATYM, TSX:AYM), the European mining and development company, today announces its intention to raise equity funding of up to approximately £39 million for the 15 Mtpa Expansion plan announced earlier this morning, through the issue of up to 23,335,910 new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 167 pence per share (the "Placing Price").

The Placing is conditional on raising not less than £25,580,612 and the Company has received binding commitments and/or firm indications from certain major shareholders (and its largest institutional UK shareholder) to participate in the Placing by acquiring 16,717,732 shares at the Placing Price which represent 72 per cent. of the Placing Shares. These commitments and/or firm indications will be sufficient to meet the minimum funding required.

The balance of the Placing Shares will be offered to existing and new institutional investors who wish to participate in the Placing. The Placing is currently expected to conclude on or before 5:00 p.m. GMT on 8 December 2017, with admission of the Placing shares to trading on AIM becoming effective on or before 12 December 2017. A further announcement will be made following completion of the Placing.

The Placing will open with immediate effect following this Announcement. The number of Placing Shares, and allocations are at the discretion of the Bookrunners and a further announcement confirming these details will be made in due course. Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Placing and none of the Placing Shares are being offered or sold in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so.

Atalaya has entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with BMO Capital Markets Limited ("BMO") and Canaccord Genuity Limited ("Canaccord") who are acting as joint bookrunners in relation to the Placing (the "Bookrunners"). Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, each of BMO and Canaccord has agreed, in accordance with its terms, to use reasonable endeavours to place the Placing Shares with certain new and existing institutional and other investors. The Placing is not underwritten.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions declared, made or paid by reference to a record date falling after their issue. If all the Placing Shares are placed, it would represent an increase of approximately 20 per cent. of the current issued ordinary share capital of the Company. The issue of the Placing Shares is pursuant to the authorities granted at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 13 July 2017.

The Company will apply for the Placing Shares to be issued on closing and to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that settlement of these shares will take place and that trading will commence at 8:00 a.m. GMT on 12 December 2017. Application will also be made for approval to list the Placing Shares for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange pursuant to Section 602.1 - Exemptions for Eligible Interlisted Issuers.

The Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement between the Company and the Bookrunners becoming unconditional and not being terminated. Further details of the Placing Agreement can be found in the terms and conditions of the Placing contained in the Appendix to this Announcement (which forms part of this Announcement).

By choosing to participate in the Placing and by making a verbal offer to acquire Placing Shares, investors will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement (including the Appendix) in its entirety and to be making such offer on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Announcement, and to be providing the representations, warranties and acknowledgements contained in the Appendix.

Your attention is drawn to the detailed terms and conditions of the Placing set out in the Appendix to this Announcement.

Rationale for the Placing and Use of Proceeds

· As separately announced today, the Board of Atalaya has approved the 15 Mtpa Expansion Project at Proyecto Riotinto ("15 Mtpa Expansion") which will require an investment of €80.4 million.

· The 15 Mtpa Expansion comprises a modernisation of the processing plant with the installation of a new primary crushing system, a new SAG mill, additional flotation cells and concentrate handling installations as well as other site infrastructure.

· The 15Mtpa Expansion is designed to upgrade processing facilities with the ultimate goal of increasing copper production to approximately 50,000 - 55,000 tonnes per year, while also improving operational efficiencies, reducing maintenance requirements and lowering operating cash costs.

· Proceeds from the Placing will be utilised to fund initial capital expenditures related to the expansion project. It is anticipated that ground construction works will start during the first quarter of 2018.

· The balance of the capex required will be funded from other financing sources currently under discussion.

· This Placing should enable the Company to continue its growth strategy as it continues to build on the success of the commercial restart of Proyecto Riotinto in February 2016.

Current trading

On 16 November 2017, the Company released its Q3 Financial Statements which confirmed record production and significant revenue generation from the Company's main operation, Proyecto Riotinto in Spain, as well as a strong balance sheet including increases in cash and copper concentrate inventories.

The Board remains confident that at current trading levels, the Company will deliver on the guidance provided and that it is on track to achieve market expectations.

Related Party Transaction

The four largest existing shareholders ("Key Shareholders") have already committed to participate in the Placing, in accordance with their pre-existing contractual entitlement rights (as contained in the Subscription Agreement) as follows:

· Trafigura Beheer B.V. ("Trafigura") has agreed to acquire 5,136,869 Placing Shares in accordance with its current pro-rata shareholding of approximately 22.0 per cent.;

· Yanggu Xiangguang Copper Co. Ltd ("XGC") has agreed to acquire 5,117,705 Placing Shares in accordance with its current pro-rata shareholding of approximately 21.9 per cent.;

· Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC ("LMM") has agreed to acquire 3,263,158 Placing Shares in accordance with its current pro-rata holding of approximately 13.98 per cent; and

· Orion Mine Finance (Master) Fund I LP ("Orion") has agreed to acquire 1,800,000 Placing Shares, being part of its pro-rata entitlement.

The participation of the Key Shareholders in the Placing, is considered to be a related party transaction pursuant to AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. The independent directors consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the Key Shareholders' participation in the Placing are fair and reasonable in so far as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Alberto Lavandeira, CEO of Atalaya said:

"I am very pleased to announce Atalaya's Placing today. This will enable the ongoing development and expansion of our primary asset, Proyecto Riotinto, and allow us to increase the processing capacity to 15 Mtpa as we announced separately today. This has the potential for an increase in copper production to 50,000 - 55,000 tonnes per year. The strong interest indicated by our largest shareholders in participating in the Placing is testament to the strong project economics for the expansion, the incremental value that can be generated for our shareholders and the exciting future plans we have for the business"

The Placing Shares will be issued free of any encumbrance, lien or other security interest.

Application for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission to trading of the Placing Shares on AIM ("Admission").

The Company will apply for conditional approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") pursuant to Section 602.1 - Exemptions for Eligible Interlisted Issuers, with respect to the listing of the Placing Shares, subject only to the satisfaction by the Company of customary post-closing conditions imposed by the TSX in similar circumstances.

Bookbuild

Commencing today, the Bookrunners will be conducting an bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

The Bookrunners shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may determine.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Bookbuild

The Bookrunners are arranging the Placing severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, as joint bookrunners and agents for the Company. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by either of the Bookrunners. Each of the Bookrunners and their respective Affiliates is entitled to participate as a Placee in the Bookbuild.

The Bookbuild will, if successful, establish the number of Placing Shares to be placed at the Placing Price to Placees whose bids are successful. The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between the Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild.

The Bookbuild will commence with immediate effect. The Bookbuild is expected to close before 5:00 p.m.GMT on 8 December 2017, but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of the Bookrunners. A further announcement will be made following the close of the Bookbuild detailing the number of Placing Shares which are being placed at the Placing Price (the "Closing Announcement"). The Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.

A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and conditions in this Announcement (including this Appendix) and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made, and except with the consent of the Bookrunners and the Company will not be capable of variation or revocation after the close of the Bookbuild.

A person who wishes to participate in the Bookbuild should communicate its bid by telephone to its usual sales contact at BMO or Canaccord. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Placing Price.

If successful, the relevant Bookrunner will re-contact and confirm orally to prospective Placees following the close of the Bookbuild the size of their respective allocations and a trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The relevant Bookrunner's oral confirmation of the size of allocations and each prospective Placee's oral commitments to accept the same will constitute an irrevocable legally binding agreement in favour of the Company and the relevant Bookrunner pursuant to which each such Placee will be required to accept the number of Placing Shares allocated to the Placee at the Placing Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's articles of association. Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a trade confirmation issued to such Placee by the relevant Bookrunner. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that trade confirmation. Each such Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant Bookrunner, to pay it or (as it may direct) one of its Affiliates in cleared funds in pounds sterling an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to such Placee on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

Placees in certain jurisdictions, including but not limited to Canada and the US, will also be required to execute representation letters and/or other confirmations required by the Bookrunners and/or the Company ("Investor Confirmations") in the form provided to them by the Bookrunners and to return those executed Investor Confirmations to the Bookrunners by no later than 5:00 pm GMT on 8 December 2017 failing which their allocation may be cancelled.

The Bookrunners reserve the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed for by any Placee. The Bookrunners also reserve the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. The acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of each of the Bookrunners and the Company. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with the Bookrunners) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of BMO, Canaccord, any holding company thereof, any subsidiary thereof, any subsidiary of any such holding company, any branch, affiliate or associated undertaking of any such company nor any of their respective directors, officers and employees (each an "Affiliate") nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any responsibility or liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, none of the Bookrunners, any of their respective Affiliates or any person acting on their behalf shall have any liability (including, to the extent legally permissible, any fiduciary duties), in respect of its conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Bookrunners and the Company may determine.

Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and to the Bookrunners. Following the oral confirmation referred to above, each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Company and the relevant Bookrunner as agent of the Company, to pay to the relevant Bookrunner (or as such Bookrunner may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to subscribe for on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the relevant time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

All obligations of the Bookrunners under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below in the section entitled "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement".

By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

The Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and conditions of this Appendix and each Placee's commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out herein will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or the Bookrunners' conduct of the Placing.

Upon such notice being given, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the Placing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Bookrunners that the exercise by a Bookrunner of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of that Bookrunner and that neither of the Bookrunners need make any reference to the Placees in this regard and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither of the Bookrunners shall have any liability whatsoever to the Placees in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

No prospectus

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be prepared in relation to the Placing and no such prospectus or admission document is required to be published and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of their own assessment of the Company, the Placing Shares and the Placing based on the information contained in this Announcement (including this Appendix) and the Exchange Information. Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement (including this Appendix) is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms to the Bookrunners and the Company that it has neither received nor relied on any information, representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Company, the Bookrunners (other than the amount of the relevant Placing participation in the oral confirmation given to Placees and the trade confirmation referred to below), any of their respective Affiliates, any persons acting on their behalf or the Company and none of the Bookrunners, any of their respective Affiliates, any persons acting on their behalf, or the Company will be liable for the decision of any Placee to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placee may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons).

By participating in the Placing, each Placee acknowledges to and agrees with the Bookrunners for themselves and as agent for the Company that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in deciding to participate in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation by that person.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: CY0106002112) following Admission will take place within the CREST system administered by Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited ("CREST"), on a delivery versus payment basis with Placing Shares allocated to Placees being allotted and issued to Computershare Investor Services PLC (the "Depositary") and the Company procuring that dematerialised depositary interests ("Depositary Interests") representing those shares are so delivered, subject to certain exceptions.

The Bookrunners reserve the right to require settlement for and delivery of the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation in accordance with the standing arrangements in place with the relevant Bookrunner stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it, the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the relevant Bookrunner and settlement instructions.

Settlement of transactions in CREST will take place by the crediting of Depositary Interests to CREST accounts operated by the respective Bookrunner for the Company and the Bookrunners will enter their respective delivery instructions into the CREST system. The input to CREST by each Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Depositary Interests to that Placee against payment of the Placing Price.

Placees procured by BMO should settle against CREST ID: BIMAY, Placees procured by Canaccord should settle against CREST ID: 805. It is expected that such trade confirmation will be dispatched by 5.00 p.m. on 8 December 2017 and that this will also be the trade date. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which it has in place with the relevant Bookrunner.

It is expected that settlement will be on 12 December 2017 on a delivery versus payment basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation unless otherwise notified by the Bookrunners.

Any certificates representing the Placing Shares or any ownership statement issued under a direct registration system, as the case may be, will bear a legend in substantially the following form and with the necessary information inserted:

"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE 13 April, 2018"

Such legend is in addition to any legend that may be required for certificated Placing Shares pursuant to the US Investor Letter. Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations: (i) the Company may release itself (if it decides in its absolute discretion to do so) and will be released from all obligations it may have to issue any such Placing Shares to such Placee or at its direction which are then unissued; (ii) the Company may exercise all rights of lien, forfeiture and set-off over and in respect of any such Placing Shares to the fullest extent permitted under its articles of association or otherwise by law and to the extent that such Placee then has any interest in or rights in respect of any such Placing Shares; (iii) the Company or the Bookrunners may sell (and each of them is irrevocably authorised by such Placee to do so) all or any of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf and then retain from the proceeds, for the account and benefit of the Company or, where applicable, the Bookrunners (a) any amount up to the total amount due to it as, or in respect of, subscription monies, or as interest on such monies, for any Placing Shares; (b) any amount required to cover any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) arising on the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf; and (c) any amount required to cover dealing costs and/or commissions necessarily or reasonably incurred by it in respect of such sale; and (iv) such Placee shall remain liable to the Company and to the Bookrunners (as applicable) for the full amount of any losses and of any costs which any of them may suffer or incur as a result of it (a) not receiving payment in full for such Placing Shares by the required time; and/or (b) the sale of any such Placing Shares to any other person at whatever price and on whatever terms are actually obtained for such sale by or for it.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, the Placee should ensure that the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in the Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom the Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares will, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest and penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or for the avoidance of doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), neither the Bookrunners nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Placees (or any nominee or other agent acting on behalf of a Placee) will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

35 it (and any person acting on its behalf) will pay for the Placing Shares allocated to it in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Announcement (including this Appendix) on the due time and date set out herein against delivery of such Placing Shares to it, failing which the relevant Placing Shares may be placed with other Placees or sold as either Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion, determine and it will remain liable for any amount by which the net proceeds of such sale falls short of the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties due pursuant to the terms set out or referred to in this Announcement) which may arise upon the sale of such Placee's Placing Shares on its behalf;

38 these terms and conditions and any agreements entered into by it pursuant to these terms and conditions (including any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with such agreements), other than the US Investor Letter and the Canadian Investor Letter, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and it irrevocably submits (on behalf of itself and on behalf of any person on whose behalf it is acting) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales as regards any claim, dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except that enforcement proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the Placing Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by the Bookrunners in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a recognised stock exchange;

39 it irrevocably appoints any director of the relevant Bookrunner as its agent for the purposes of executing and delivering to the Company and/or its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares agreed to be taken up by it under the Placing;

41 any person who confirms to either Bookrunner on behalf of a Placee an agreement to subscribe for Placing Shares and/or who authorises either Bookrunner to notify the Placee's name to the Company's registrar, has authority to do so on behalf of the Placee;

42 the agreement to settle each Placee's subscription for Placing Shares (and/or the subscription by a person for whom it is contracting as agent) free of UK stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company of the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there were any such arrangements, or the settlement related to other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company nor either of the Bookrunners will be responsible. If this is the case, the Placee should take its own advice and notify the Bookrunners accordingly and agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and the Bookrunners in the event that any of the Company and/or either of the Bookrunners has incurred any such liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax;

44 when a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the relevant Bookrunner, any money held in an account with the relevant Bookrunner on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Bookrunners' money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the relevant Bookrunner in the course of its business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of the relevant Bookrunner (as the case may be);

45 in order to ensure compliance with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, the Bookrunners (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars may, in their absolute discretion, require verification of its identity. Pending the provision to the Bookrunners or the Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at the Bookrunners absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery of the Placing Shares to it in uncertificated form may be delayed at the Bookrunners' or the Company's registrars', as the case may be, absolute discretion. If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity the Bookrunners (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars have not received evidence satisfactory to them, the Bookrunners (or either of them) and/or the Company may, at their absolute discretion, terminate its commitment in respect of the Placing, in which event the monies payable on acceptance of allotment will, if already paid, be returned without interest to the account of the drawee's bank from which they were originally debited;

46 the basis of allocation will be determined by the Bookrunners and the Company at their absolute discretion. The right is reserved to reject in whole or in part and/or scale back any participation in the Placing;
