Total Voting Rights
Fulcrum Metals plc (AIM: FMET), a technology led company focused on the recovery of precious
metals from mine tailings in Canada,announces that certain members of the Board have
subscribed for a total of £140,000 of new Ordinary Shares (the "Director Subscription"). The
Director Subscriptionwill result in the issue and allotment of a total of 2,800,000 new Ordinary
Shares at the Issue Price of 5 pence (the "Director Subscription Shares").
The funds will be utilised by the Company as follows:
(i)
towards the development of the Company's tailings projects, Teck-Hughes and
Sylvanite;
(ii)
to support the development of the master licence agreement entered into with Extrakt
Process Solutions, details of which were announced by the Company on 22 May 2025,
including to provide funding for the initial annual licencing fee; and
(iii)
to provide additional working capital.
This funding, together with the previously announced monetisation of certain of the Company's
exploration assets - including the signing of a binding letter of intent with TSX Venture Exchange
listed Loyalist Exploration Limited for the sale of the Company's Tully Gold Project (announced on
9 April 2025)- and any future cash generated from the optioned-out Saskatchewan uranium
projects (announced on 3 July 2024) will contribute towards the wider funding requirements of
Fulcrum as a group over the coming 12 months.
Commenting on the Director Subscription Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, said:
"The subscription at a premium to the prevailing market price reflects the Directors' confidence in
Fulcrum's growth prospects. Significant progress has been made in transforming the Company - from
the monetisation of exploration assets and acquisition of tailings projects to successful technology
testing initiatives. Most notably, the recently announced exclusive Master Licence Agreement for
Extrakt's cyanide free technology marks a pivotal step forward, enabling Fulcrum to unlock the
substantial mineral potential of its Kirkland Lake tailings projects and assets across Canada's two most
prolific gold camps."
