Nyota intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing for general working capital purposes and to provide additional funds for the exploration programme by the Company of its nickel and associated base and precious metals in the Piemonte Region of Italy ('the Ivrea Project'). Specifically to establish the proof of concept for the brownfield exploration by undertaking an airborne electro-magnetic geophysical survey to trace any extensions to the mineralisation previously mined and to identify conductors that may be due to new areas of sulphide mineralisation.

The Placing is conditional on, inter alia, the passing of certain resolutions by the Company's shareholders at a general meeting to be held on or about 9 July 2015. A circular convening a general meeting of the Company will be posted to Nyota shareholders in due course and placed on the Company's website at www.nyotaminerals.com.

The Placing Shares will represent approximately 36.3% of Nyota's issued share capital as enlarged by the issue of the Placing Shares. Following the Placing, the number of Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights will be 1,502,603,672.

On obtaining the requisite shareholder approvals, the Company will apply to ASX for the Placing Shares to be quoted on ASX and to the London Stock Exchange for Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (together 'Admission'). Admission is expected to become effective and dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 15 July 2015; or such later time as Smaller Company Capital and the Company may agree, being not later than 31 July 2015.
