Manica Alluvial Gold & Corporate Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") announces the preliminary unaudited results for alluvial mining contractors for the Manica Concession for the three-month period ended 31 December 2020 (the "Period").

Highlights

· Total alluvial mining contractor gold production of 12.44 Kg for the quarter (equivalent to approximately 400 ounces)

· Total of 3.48 Kg (equivalent to approximately 112 ounces) attributable to Explorator

· Combined attributable revenue to Explorator from gold sales and other income for the Period amounted to US$201,310

· Operations were impacted by continuing COVID 19 restrictions and local storms

· Guy Fawkes preparatory development continued during the period and limited earthworks at Fairbride were progressed

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "The quarter ended 31 December 2020, proved to be a challenging period, impacted by local storms as well ongoing COVID 19 restrictions imposed on our contractors, reducing our operating capabilities. However, despite this our contractor was able to carry out limited production. Local weather conditions worsened during Q1 2021 again impacting operating capability and operations at Guy Fawkes and our second alluvial license are being progressed. The Company is expecting a drier season from Q2 2021 onwards with improved operating conditions."
