Update on Funding Discussions

 

Ironveld PLC, the owner of a High Purity Iron, Vanadium, and Titanium project
located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in Limpopo Province,
South Africa, provides an update regarding discussions with the South
Africa-based external funding partner on a direct institutional funding
transaction, originally expected to close in H1 2024.

 

The Company has received a communication which suggests that the finance
package potentially available may be substantially reduced from that original
envisaged and that the formal offer of funding remains subject to further due
diligence. In addition, following the recent South African elections, it is
anticipated all strategic investments will await new policy decisions from
decision makers yet to be appointed. Accordingly, the timeframe for securing
the funding could be extended by up to four months.

 

In light of these developments, the Company and its management are evaluating
the impacts and are assessing options to address the situation.
