The RetailBook Offer

Savannah Resources plc (AIM:SAV), the AIM-listed European lithium development company is pleased to announce a conditional retail offer of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") via RetailBook (the "RetailBook Offer") at an issue price of 3.5 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), being a discount of 5.4 per cent to the closing mid-price of the Company's existing Ordinary Shares on 25 June 2025. The Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares to institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Placing") as announced by the Company earlier today. For the avoidance of doubt, the RetailBook Offer is not part of the Placing.

The Company is also conducting a direct subscription with its four largest shareholders (including AMG Lithium B.V. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Euronext Amsterdam-listed AMG Critical Materials N.V), members of the Savannah Board and management team, and new and existing institutional and other investors (the "Subscription", together with the Placing and RetailBook Offer, the "Fundraise").

The RetailBook Offer is conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraise being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8:00 a.m. on 4 July 2025.

The RetailBook Offer will not be completed without the Placing also being completed.

The Company will use the net proceeds of the Fundraise to support Savannah's ongoing development of the Barroso Lithium Project (the "Project"), including the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study ('DFS'), preparation for post-DFS workstreams which will feed into the Project's Final Investment Decision next year and to provide additional financial headroom to further enable the Project's success and mitigate against any delays versus the planned work schedule.

Reason for the RetailBook Offer

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders as well as wider stakeholders, to provide retail and other interested investors the opportunity to participate in the RetailBook Offer.

The RetailBook Offer is open to eligible investors resident and physically located in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement. The RetailBook Offer is expected to close at 4:30 p.m. on 1 July 2025 and may close earlier at the discretion of the Company or if it is oversubscribed.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

It should be noted that a subscription for new Ordinary Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the new Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser.

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of your investment in the Company and any income from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. When you sell your investment, you may get back less than the amount originally invested.

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.
