Assuming that these Options are exercised in full at the earliest opportunity (all Options have vested) and no other new Ordinary Shares are issued, the maximum interest, in aggregate, of the Concert Party would be 91,539,170 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 44.60 per cent. of the then enlarged voting rights of the Company.

AIM Rule 17

Pursuant to AIM Rule 17, the following are the changes in shareholdings of significant shareholders upon Admission, in so far as the Company is aware:

· Bacanora Lithium plc's shareholding in the Company will be 90,619,170 Ordinary Shares, which will represent 44.3% of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital

· Henry Maxey's shareholding in the Company will be 30,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which will represent 14.7% of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital

· David Hall's shareholding in the Company will remain at 6,827,000 Ordinary Shares but will represent 3.3% of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital 

· Osisko Gold Royalties' shareholding in the Company will remain at 5,876,000 Ordinary Shares but will represent 2.9% of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital

Admission to AIM and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made for the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital of 204,455,957 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 29 October 2020.

Following Admission, the Company will have 204,455,957 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights will be 204,455,957. This figure may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The same definitions apply throughout this announcement, unless the context requires otherwise, as applied in the Admission Document, published on 8 October 2020, and which is available on the Company's website, www.errisresources.com.
