Anglesey Mining Plc

("Anglesey Mining", the "Company" or the "Group") (AIM:AYM)

Proposed Placing and Subscription to raise approximately £865,000

Restructuring of Existing Juno Facility

Anglesey Mining Plc (AIM:AYM) is pleased to announce its intention to raise gross proceeds of approximately £865,000 by means of a proposed placing (the "Placing") of new ordinary shares of £0.01 ("Ordinary Shares") each in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") to certain institutional and other investors, as well as a proposed subscription by certain directors of the Company ("Subscription") for further new Ordinary Shares ("Subscription Shares"), each at a price of 3.4 pence per share (the "Issue Price").

The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 3.1 per cent. to the Closing Price of 3.51 pence per Ordinary Share on 13 May 2022, being the latest practicable business day prior to the publication of this Announcement.

The Placing is to be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild") process which will commence immediately following this Announcement and will be subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this Announcement.

The Placing and Subscription (together, the "Fundraising") is conditional only on admission of the Fundraising Shares to trading on AIM.

A further announcement confirming the closing of the Bookbuild and the number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and Subscription Shares pursuant to the Subscription is expected to be made in due course.

WH Ireland Limited ("WH Ireland") and Canaccord Genuity Limited ("Canaccord Genuity") are acting as joint bookrunners in relation to the Placing.

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this Announcement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms at the end of the Appendix to this Announcement, unless the context requires otherwise.

Fundraising Highlights

· Placing and Subscription to raise approximately £865,000 (before expenses) from certain existing shareholders and other institutional investors.

· Placing to be conducted via an accelerated bookbuild process launching today.

· Issue Price of 3.4 pence per share represents a discount of 3.1 per cent. to the closing mid-market price of the Company's existing ordinary shares on 13 May 2022, being the latest practicable business day prior to the publication of this Announcement.

· The net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription will be applied to advancing the Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au project through additional technical studies, restructuring the Company's working capital facility with Juno and for general working capital purposes.

Reasons for the Placing and Subscription, Use of Proceeds and Transaction Summary

The Company is undertaking the Fundraising to progress its corporate and operational strategy and the net proceeds will therefore be applied towards:

· Advancing Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au mine to an investment decision

· Partial cash repayment of debt to Juno, Anglesey's largest shareholder

· General working capital purposes

Juno debt restructure

· Partial repayment and restructure of previous working capital facility

o  Cash repayments will be made equivalent to up to 10 per cent. of funds received from Placing

o  Reduction of interest on the outstanding principal from 10 per cent. to 5 per cent.

· As a result of the announced Placing and Subscription, debt restructure, direct subscription and initial repayment, the debt due to Juno will be reduced from £4.0 million to £3.7 million

· Subsequent to completion of the Placing and Subscription and the Juno restructure, Juno's shareholding in Anglesey is expected to be c.22.95 per cent.

The Placing and Subscription

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED PLACING

Further details of the Placing and Subscription

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners, as agents for the Company, have conditionally agreed to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers at the Issue Price for the Placing Shares.

The Joint Bookrunners intend to conditionally place the Placing Shares with certain institutional and other investors at the Issue Price.

In addition to the Placing, John F Kearney and Jo Battershill, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, respectively, have also indicated their intention to participate in the Fundraising at the Issue Price.

The Company intends to raise gross proceeds of approximately £865,000 pursuant to the Placing and Subscription. The Placing Shares and Subscription Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 20 May 2022 (or such later date and / or time as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree, being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 24 June 2022).

Admission of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares is conditional, inter alia, upon the Placing Agreement not having been terminated and becoming unconditional in respect of such shares.

The Joint Bookrunners (acting in good faith) have the right to terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances prior to Admission, including (but not limited to): in the event that there is a breach of any of the warranties set out in the Placing Agreement or there is a Material Adverse Change in the opinion of the Joint Bookrunners (acting in good faith). The Joint Bookrunners may also terminate the Placing Agreement if there has been a change in certain international financial markets, a suspension of trading on certain stock exchanges or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance which, in the opinion of the Joint Bookrunners (acting in good faith), would materially prejudice the Placing or Admission or makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the Placing. If this termination right is exercised or if the conditionality in the Placing Agreement is not satisfied, the Placing will not proceed.

Neither the Placing nor Subscription is being underwritten. The Placing and Subscription are not conditional on a minimum amount being raised.

New Ordinary Shares

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares in issue, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

It is expected that Admission will take place on or around 8.00 a.m. on 20 May 2022 and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

The Joint Bookrunners are regulated by the FCA, are acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the matters referred to in this Announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to the customers of the Joint Bookrunners or for providing advice in relation to the matters described in this Announcement.

2. The number of Placing Shares to be issued at the Issue Price under the Placing will be agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company.

3. Participation in the Placing is only available to persons who are lawfully able to be, and have been, invited to participate by the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners are entitled to participate in the Placing as principal.

4. The Placing will be effected by way of an accelerated bookbuild to institutional investors which will be launched immediately following this Announcement ("Bookbuild"). The final number of Placing Shares to be placed at the Issue Price will be agreed by Canaccord Genuity, WH Ireland and the Company. The Issue Price is payable to Canaccord Genuity or WH Ireland, as applicable, by all Placees (each as agent of the Company). Each Placee's allocation has been or will be confirmed to Placees orally, or in writing (which can include email), by the Joint Bookrunners and a trade confirmation or contract note has been or will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The Joint Bookrunners oral or written confirmation will give rise to an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by that person (who at that point becomes a Placee), in favour of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire by subscription the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue 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. Except with the Joint Bookrunners' consent, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation.

5. As noted above, each Placee's allocation will, unless otherwise agreed between the Placee and the Joint Bookrunners, be evidenced by a trade confirmation or contract note issued to each such Placee by the Joint Bookrunners. The terms and conditions of this Announcement (including this Appendix) will be deemed to be incorporated in that trade confirmation, contract note or such other confirmation and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with the Joint Bookrunners consent will not be capable of variation or revocation from the time at which it is issued.

6. Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Joint Bookrunners (as agent for the Company), to pay to the Joint Bookrunners (or as the Joint Bookrunners may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

7. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by the Joint Bookrunners or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

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

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

10. By participating in the Placing, 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.

11. To the fullest extent permissible by law and the applicable rules of the FCA, neither the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their Affiliates shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise whether or not a recipient of these terms and conditions) in respect of the Placing. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Company is responsible for the allotment of the Placing Shares to the Placees and the Joint Bookrunners and their Affiliates shall have no liability to the Placees for the failure of the Company to fulfil those obligations. In particular, neither the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their Affiliates shall have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners conduct of the Placing.

Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement or its Appendix.

Neither the Joint Bookrunners, the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

Right to terminate the Placing Agreement

The Joint Bookrunners are entitled to terminate the Placing Agreement at any time prior to Admission by giving notice to the Company in certain circumstances, including, inter alia:

1. the Company, in the opinion of either Bank, has failed to comply with any of its material obligations under the Placing Agreement or it has materially breached the Placing Agreement;

2. any of the warranties contained in the Placing Agreement was, when given, untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any respect or if any of them has ceased to be true, accurate and not misleading;

If the Placing Agreement is terminated prior to Admission then the Placing will not occur.

The rights and obligations of the Placees will not be subject to termination by the Placees or any prospective Placees at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Joint Bookrunners of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners and that the Joint Bookrunners need not make any reference to Placees in this regard and that neither the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

No Admission Document Prospectus

The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only and have not been nor will be offered in such a way as to require the publication of a prospectus in the United Kingdom or any equivalent document in any other jurisdiction. No offering document, admission document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA or the London Stock Exchange in relation to the Placing or the Placing Shares, and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement (including this Appendix) and the business and financial information that the Company is required to publish in accordance with the AIM Rules (the "Exchange Information") or which it has otherwise announced by means of a Regulatory Information Service ("Publicly Available Information"). Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information (other than the Exchange Information/Publicly Available Information), representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company or the Joint Bookrunners or any other person and neither the Joint Bookrunners, the Company nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received and, if given or made, such information, representation, warranty or statement must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Joint Bookrunners, the Company or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners are making any undertaking or warranty to any Placee regarding the legality of an investment in the Placing Shares by such Placee under any legal, investment or similar laws or regulations. Each Placee should not consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Each Placee should consult its own solicitor, tax adviser and financial adviser for independent legal, tax and financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and Settlement

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a form of confirmation or electronic confirmation by Canaccord Genuity or WH Ireland, as appliable, as soon as reasonably possible after the closing of the Bookbuild which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them, the Issue Price, the aggregate amount owed by them to Canaccord Genuity or WH Ireland (each as agent of the Company) and the relevant settlement instructions.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares will, unless otherwise agreed, take place on a delivery versus payment basis within CREST. Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by the Joint Bookrunners in accordance with the standing CREST settlement instructions which they have in place with the Joint Bookrunners.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB0000320472) following Admission will take place within the system administered by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ("CREST") provided that, subject to certain exceptions, the Joint Bookrunners reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

It is expected that settlement of the Placing Shares will be on 20 May 2022 unless otherwise notified by the Joint Bookrunners and Admission is expected to occur by 20 May 2022 or such later time as may be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners, not being later than the Long Stop Date.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Joint Bookrunners account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable and shall indemnify the Joint Bookrunners on demand for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on the Joint Bookrunners such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the Joint Bookrunners lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale. Legal and/or beneficial title in and to any Placing Shares shall not pass to the relevant Placee until it has fully complied with its obligations hereunder.

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

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax. Neither the Joint Bookrunners nor the Company will be liable in any circumstances for the payment of stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax in connection with any of the Placing Shares. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

The Company, the Joint Bookrunners and their respective Affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of each of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings which are given to the Joint Bookrunners for themselves and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

The provisions of this Appendix may be waived, varied or modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by the Joint Bookrunners.

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of 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 for 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 transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company or the Joint Bookrunners will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and the Joint Bookrunners in the event that any of the Company and/or the Joint Bookrunners have incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify the Joint Bookrunners accordingly.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares.

This Announcement has been issued by, and is the sole responsibility, of the Company. No representation or warranty express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by the Joint Bookrunners or by any of their respective Affiliates or agents as to or in relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or any other written or oral information made available to or publicly available to any interested party or its advisers, and any liability therefore is expressly disclaimed.
