Rambler Voluntarily Delisting from TSX Venture Exchange

London, England - Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV: RAB, AIM: RMM) (Rambler or the Company), announces that it has applied for voluntary delisting of the ordinary shares of the Company (the Shares) from the TSX Venture Exchange (the TSXV). The Shares are currently listed for trading on the TSXV and AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange (AIM). The Shares will continue to trade on the AIM exchange where the vast majority of trading activity takes place.

The Directors of the Company believe that the minimal trading activity of the Company's Shares on the TSXV no longer justifies the expense and administrative requirements associated with maintaining this dual listing, and that the Company's continuing AIM listing will provide its shareholders with a sufficiently liquid market. The Company is incorporated and registered in England and Wales with registered number 5101822.

Subject to its application being accepted by the TSXV, it is expected that the Shares will be delisted from the TSXV at the close of trading on January 15, 2019, with the Shares continuing to trade on AIM under the symbol "RMM".

Implication of the delisting for shareholders on the Canadian register

Following delisting from the TSXV on January 15, 2019, the Company will also be closing its Canadian share register and merging it with the principal register in the United Kingdom (the UK) to be maintained by Computershare Investor Services plc (the UK Register).

The Company's Canadian share register will, however, remain open until April 15, 2019, in order to enable shareholders and Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS) participants currently on the Canadian register to request, if they wish, to have their Shares issued to a broker/nominee within CREST, the UK settlement system.

If CDS participants or shareholders on the Canadian register have not requested to have their Shares moved to a broker/nominee with CREST by April 15, 2019, their holding will be automatically moved to a certificated holding on the UK Register and they will be sent a new physical share certificate from the UK Register. Canadian share certificates previously issued will become null and void at such time. Shareholders whose holdings are already held within CREST, or who wish to receive new share certificates from the UK Register need not take any action.

CDS participants, or those with Shares held by a broker within CDS, who wish to have their Shares moved over to the UK Register and issued to a broker/nominee within CREST, should arrange for the CDS participant or broker to complete and submit either a "Computershare xSettle Electronic Instruction" or a "Register Removal Request - Canadian Certificate to UK Register" form to Computershare Investor Services Inc.

Registered shareholders with Canadian share certificates who wish to have their Shares held with a CREST broker/nominee will need to open an account with a CREST broker/nominee and complete a "Register Removal Request - Canadian Certificate to UK Register" form and submit it to Computershare Investor Services Inc. together with the original Canadian share certificate(s) and a Stock Transfer Form, duly medallion guaranteed. Alternatively, Canadian share certificates can be submitted to the CREST broker/nominee for them to arrange deposit of the shares into CREST.

The "Register Removal Request - Canadian Certificate to UK Register" form is available from :https://www-us.computershare.com/Investor/help/PrintableForms?cc=ca&lang=en.

Shareholders are encouraged to contact Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Company's Canadian transfer agent for more information about the register removal process from Canada to the UK by telephone at 1-866-277-2086 or globaltransactionteam@computershare.com.
