(AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ), an independent mining company with a substantial land package of gold and strategic energy transition mineral assets in Southern Greenland, confirms, further to its announcement on 11 February 2024, its intention to conduct a placing and subscription of new common shares (“Common Shares”) to raise gross proceeds of approximately £30.0 million (equivalent to approximately C$51.0 million or ISK5.2 billion) (the “Fundraising”) at a price of 74 pence (C$1.25, ISK127) per new Common Share (the “Placing Price”), with the net proceeds being used to accelerate development and exploration activities. As announced on 11 February, the Company has already received indications of interest from investors in excess of £30.0 million at the Placing Price.

    • A proposed placing of new depositary receipts representing new Common Shares (the “Icelandic Placing Shares”) with new and existing investors (the “Icelandic Placing”), at the Placing Price; and

    • A proposed private placement of new Common Shares (the “Canadian Subscription Shares”, together with the UK Placing Shares and the Icelandic Placing Shares, the “Fundraising Shares”) by certain existing institutional investors and a director of the Company at the Placing Price (the “Canadian Subscription”).
