("Alien Metals" or "the Company")

ISSUE OF EQUITY AND UPDATED DIRECTOR DISCLOSURE

ISSUE OF EQUITY

Alien Metals, a minerals exploration and development company, announces that it has issued 50,000,000 new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company at a deemed issue price of 0.11p per share ("New Ordinary Shares"). The New Ordinary Shares were issued under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement relating to the Hamersley Project between Windfield Metals Pty Limited ("Windfield") and the Company ("the JVA") announced on 20 September 2019. Under the terms of the JVA, the Company agreed to issue certain securities to Windfield (or its nominee) as additional consideration for the acquisition of a 51% interest in the Hamersley Project from Windfield, including the issuance of 100,000,000 performance shares to be issued at a Deemed Issue Price of 0.11p per share in two equal tranches convertible on a 1-for-1 basis into ordinary shares of the Company upon achievement of the following performance hurdles:

- 10,000,000 tonne JORC inferred resource at greater than 54% Fe ("Hurdle 1"); and

- 20,000,000 JORC inferred resource at greater than 54% Fe ("Hurdle 2").

As a result of Hurdle 1 being achieved in September 2021, the Company subsequently received a request from Windfield for the issue of the 50,000,000 Performance Shares to which it is entitled.

The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue and application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 50,000,000 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission of the New Ordinary Shares is expected to become effective at 08.00 on or around 25 February 2022.

Following Admission, the Company will have 4,157,456,402 ordinary shares of no par value in issue. The Company has no shares in treasury, therefore the figure of 4,157,456,402 should be used by shareholders for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

UPDATED DIRECTOR DISCLOSURE

Pursuant to Schedule 2 paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies, it is reported that Stirfire Limited, of which Dan Smith was a director at the time, went into administration on 1 July 2019 with a shortfall to creditors of A$0.5 million.

Notes to Editors 

Alien Metals Ltd is a mining exploration and development company listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE: UFO). The Company's focus is on precious and base metal commodities, with its operations located in proven mining jurisdictions and it has embarked upon an acquisition-led strategy headed by a high-quality geological team to build a strong portfolio of diversified assets. In 2019, the Company acquired 51% of the Brockman and Hancock Ranges high-grade (Direct Shipping Ore) iron ore projects and with a conditional agreement to increase its interest to 90% in May 2021 also being put in place.

In 2020 the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, which consists of the Elizabeth Hill Historic Silver Mine Mining Lease and the 150km2 exploration tenement around the mine. The Company also holds two silver projects, San Celso and Los Campos, located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, Mexico's largest silver producing state, which produced over 190m oz of silver in 2018 alone, accounting for 45% of the total silver production of Mexico for that year. The Company also holds a Copper Gold project in the same region, Donovan 2.

In November and December 2021, the Company entered into two Binding Heads of Agreement with ASX listed Platina Resources Ltd and Artemis Resources Limited to acquire 100% of the current joint venture interest in the Munni Munni Platinum Group Metals and Gold Project in the West Pilbara, Western Australia, one of Australia's major underexplored PGE and base metals projects. Munni Munni holds a historic deposit containing 2.2Moz 4E PGM: Palladium, Platinum, Gold, Rhodium.

The Company was also awarded an Exploration Licence in Greenland in late 2020, which surrounds the world class Citronen Zinc-Lead deposit.
