RNS Number : 0249T  Arc Minerals Limited  19 June 2024

Arc Minerals Ltd

("Arc" or the "Company")

Update

Restoration of Trading on AIM

As announced on 17 June 2024, the Mining Cadastre in Zambia has published the
results of the 80(th) Mining Licence Committee Meeting. Two of the three large
mining licence applications submitted, in which the Company indirectly holds
an interest in Zambia, were rejected namely mining licence application
33404-HQ-LML from Handa Resources Limited ("Handa") and mining licence
application 33403-HQ-LML from Zaco Investments Limited ("Zaco") (the "Mining
Licence Applications").

In addition, Large Scale Exploration license 23004-HQ-LEL from Zaco
Investments Limited  was marked as deferred pending an information request.

As the applications were validly submitted and validated by the Zambian Mining
Cadastre, the Company has been advised that Handa and Zaco will be appealing
the decision of the Mining Licence Committee to reject the Mining Licence
Applications and are engaging with the Mining Cadastre to have the appeal
heard as soon as possible so that the applications can be reinstated and/or
considered positively in accordance with the law.

With the exception of the licence mentioned above, none of the Company's other
licences are affected by the recent Mining Licence Committee Meeting review.

Anglo American, the Company's joint venture partner in Zambia, under the
previously announced joint venture agreement, is currently mobilising for the
planned exploration activities.

Commenting, Executive Chairman, Nick von Schirnding said "I am pleased that we
have been able to provide some clarity to shareholders on steps to rectify the
LML applications. I am also very pleased that we have had confirmation that
our JV partner Anglo American has begun mobilising for the upcoming drilling
programme. I look forward to updating shareholders on an exciting period ahead
for activities in both Zambia and Botswana."

 

Further updates will be provided in due course.
