A further 6,800,000 warrants over Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of 0.35 pence per share have been exercised by other warrant holders ("Other Shares").

 

Application has been made for the Director Shares and the Other Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that this will take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 9 April 2026 ("Admission"). The Company has received the proceeds of the warrant exercises of GBP79,800.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

Following Admission, Arkle will have 1,521,110,997 Ordinary Shares in issue which will also represent the total number of voting rights in the Company. The above figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Grant of Share Options

 

Arkle also announces the grant of share options over 130,000,000 Ordinary Shares to certain key employees, advisers, consultants and directors, with an exercise price of 0.95 pence, approximately a 65% premium to the Company's closing share price on 1 April 2026, (the "Options"), to incentivise long-term growth reflected in the Company's valuation. The Options vest immediately and are valid for a period of five years. The vesting criteria requires the recipient to remain engaged by the Company at the time of exercise. These new Options replace all options previously held by directors and management which have been cancelled.

About Arkle Resources

Arkle Resources PLC (LSE:ARK) is a multi-commodity exploration company focused on metals which are essential for the generation and storage of clean energy - uranium, lithium and zinc. Its projects are in premier mining jurisdictions in Namibia, Botswana and Ireland, adjacent to world-class deposits.

Founded in 2004 by John Teeling and Jim Finn, the Company co-discovered the Stonepark zinc deposit in County Limerick - now Ireland's second largest undeveloped resource - in joint venture with Teck Ireland. Teck's interest was acquired by Group Eleven Resources (TSX-V: ZNG), who continue to advance the project alongside Arkle.

In January 2026, the Company announced a transformative deal to acquire Namibia Uranium, which has introduced four highly prospective uranium licences contiguous to major producing and development assets in what is a world-class uranium jurisdiction.

This acquisition, alongside the Company's existing licence portfolio and the introduction of new management, repositions Arkle to become a leading explorer in energy metals.
