Facility Drawdown and Conversion

Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1) ("the Company"), the first listed UK company focused on creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals, announces that further to its announcement of 17 May 2024, it has given notice to Atlas Capital Markets LLC ("ACM") of a drawdown of £400,000 to be issued on 28 June 2024 ("Issue Date").

In addition, the Company received a Conversion Notice from Atlas Capital Markets LLC ("ACM") on 24 June 2024 for £90,000 of Convertible Bonds from the convertible bond facility announced on 21 March 2024. The Company will issue 27,328,958 Ordinary shares of £0.001 per share ("Ordinary Shares") at a conversion price of 0.329321 pence per Ordinary Share. ACM have agreed to abide by orderly market provisions in respect of the sale of shares.

Following completion of both this drawdown and the conversion, the total funds drawn under the £5.5 million facility with ACM will amount to £2.5 million, of which £0.51m will have been converted into Ordinary shares as previously announced. Use of the new funds drawn will include continued support of the scale up in operations at Recyclus' lithium-ion plant in Wolverhampton, ahead of the proposed acquisition of the Recyclus shares not held by the Company, as previously announced. In addition, the funds will facilitate the building of a discharge and dismantle unit that will allow the facility to dissemble EV batteries on site before processing. This capability enhances Recyclus' offering and enables the company to provide OEMs and major industry players with a complete solution without the need for third party processing.  Technology Minerals currently owns 48.35% of Recyclus Group Ltd.
