MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) announces an issue of equity to its
Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Godfrey Gomwe, as part of his
remuneration package and a number of other senior employees, under the terms of the
Company’s shareholder approved Performance Rights Scheme.

Managing Director & CEO Shares
The Company has issued 4,000,000 new ordinary shares of no par value in the Company’s
capital (Ordinary Shares) to the CEO (the CEO Shares), following the vesting of the first
tranche of the Engagement Share Options, awarded as part of his remuneration package. The
issue of the Engagement Share Options was approved by shareholders at the Company’s
annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022. The issue of the CEO Shares does not
require further MC Mining shareholder approval or any other consents.

Performance Rights Shares
The Company also announces the issue of 4,225,542 new Ordinary Shares following
satisfaction of the vesting conditions for issued performance rights to certain members of the
Company’s management team (the Management Shares). The performance rights were
granted to certain members of the Company’s management team in November 2020 and July
2022. The issue of 1,164,240 (of the 4,225,542) Management Shares is subject to South
African Reserve Bank approval, which is anticipated to be received during November 2023.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made for the 4,000,000 CEO Shares and the 3,061,302 Management
Shares (which are not subject to South African Reserve Bank approval) to be admitted to
trading on the ASX, AIM and JSE markets (Admission). Admission on AIM is expected to
become effective at 8.00 a.m. on or around 3 November 2023, and the shares will rank pari
passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

On Admission, MC Mining’s issued share capital shall comprise 406,726,504 Ordinary Shares.
This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a
change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the ASX Listing Rules and
the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

A further announcement will be made in due course for the application for admission to
