(AIM Ticker: LND.L)
£600,000 PLACING AND APPOINTMENT OF JOINT BROKER
London, United Kingdom - 29 June 2023 - Landore Resources Limited (AIM: LND) ("Landore
Resources" or the "Company") announces that it has raised £600,000 before expenses by way of a
placing of 6,666,667 new ordinary shares of nil par value each in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 9 pence per share (the "Placing").
The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Novum Securities Limited
("Novum") as Joint Broker with immediate effect.
The Placing Shares will represent approximately 5.46 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued
share capital. The Placing price represents a discount of approximately 13.25 per cent. to the
mid-market closing price on AIM of 10.375 pence per Ordinary Share on 28 June 2023, being the
latest practicable business day prior to the publication of this announcement.
Every Placing Share has one warrant attached, resulting in the issue of 6,666,667 warrants, with
each warrant having the right to acquire one new Ordinary Share at an exercise price of 18 pence
on or before the second anniversary of Admission of the Placing Shares (the "Investor Warrants").
If the Investor Warrants were to be exercised in full in due course, this would result in the issue of
6,666,667 new Ordinary Shares raising a further £1,200,000 for the development of the
Company's business'.
The Placing was arranged by Novum. Accordingly, in connection with the Placing, the Company
has also agreed to issue 400,000 'broker' warrants to Novum, giving them the right to acquire
such number of new Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 9 pence for a period of two years
from the date of Admission of the Placing Shares.
Novum has entered into an agreement with Landore (the "Placing Agreement") under which,
subject to the conditions set out therein, Novum has been instructed by Landore to assume the
duties of placing agent to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares. The Placing Agreement
includes customary provisions including that the Placing Agreement can be terminated, inter alia,
if (i) there is a breach of any material warranty, or any of the other obligations on the Company
which is material in the context of the Placing, and (ii) in the reasonable opinion of Novum there
has occurred a material adverse change in the business of or the financial or trading position of
the Company, or (iii) the name or reputation of Novum is likely to be prejudiced if it continues to
act as placing agent.
Background to the Placing
The Placing has been undertaken to assist with the intended dual listing of the Company on the
TSX Venture Exchange in Q3 2023, as announced earlier today.

The following directors of the Company are participating in the Placing for an investment, in

Related Party Transactions
William Humphries and Glenn Featherby have subscribed for, in aggregate, 611,111 new
Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Placing as set out above and will receive, in aggregate, 611,111
Investor Warrants. The participation in the Placing by William Humphries and Glenn Featherby,
both Directors of the Company, is deemed to constitute a related party transaction under the AIM
Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the independent directors, being Huw Salter, Charles Wilkinson
and Helen Green, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, Strand Hanson
Limited, consider the terms of such participation to be fair and reasonable insofar as the
Company's shareholders are concerned.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to
trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary
Shares and it is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings commence at 8.00
a.m. on or around 20 July 2023.
On Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 122,013,058 Ordinary Shares
with voting rights. Landore Resources does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. This figure
of 122,013,058 may therefore be used by shareholders in the Company following Admission 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 share capital of the Company under the UK
Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
