Publication of a Circular and Notice of a General Meeting
MetalNRG (LON:MNRG), the natural resource investing and exploration company, announces that it has published a circular in connection with a General Meeting to seek shareholder approval to renew the general authority to allot shares in the capital of the Company and to disapply the statutory pre-emption rights on the issue of shares.
On 20 October 2020, the Company announced its proposed acquisition of Lake Victoria Gold Limited ("LVG") and that, in conjunction with the planned takeover offer of this company and to provide additional working capital for the enlarged MetalNRG Group, it intended to effect a share placing (the "Placing") to raise up to £4.5m in due course.

However, the Company currently has insufficient headroom to issue the required number of Ordinary Shares to complete the LVG Acquisition and deal with certain other allotments of shares, including the allotment of shares on the conversion of the Company's outstanding convertible loan notes.
