Details

Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc (AIM: CGNR), the gold exploration and development company focused on Ireland and Finland, announces that it is undertaking a non-brokered private placement (the "Proposed Fundraise") to raise gross proceeds of, in aggregate, up to £0.8m from the issue of the Company’s ordinary shares of €0.001 (“Ordinary Shares”) at a price of £0.08 (the “Issue Price”) per Ordinary Share.

For every two new Ordinary Shares subscribed for (each a “Fundraise Share”), an investor will receive one warrant to purchase a further new Ordinary Share (the “Warrant”). The Issue Price is equal to the mid-market closing price of 8 pence per ordinary share on 28 July 2026.

Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one new Ordinary Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of £0.15 per Ordinary Share at any time on or before that date which is 2 years after the closing date of the Proposed Fundraise.

Eligible investors located in the United Kingdom or Ireland who wish to participate in the Proposed Fundraise should contact the Company's UK broker, Hybridan LLP, on the contact details set out below. Eligible UK investors will be those who are (a) persons having professional experience in matters relating to investments and as described in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Financial Promotion Order") and/or (b) high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, partnerships or trusts or their respective directors, officers or employees as described in Article 49(2) of the Financial Promotion Order and/or (c) existing members of the Company as described in Article 43(2) of the Financial Promotion Order.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the “United States” or to “U.S. persons” (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

The Fundraise Shares to be issued directly pursuant to the Proposed Fundraise or indirectly as a result of Warrant exercise will be subject to a restricted or 'locked-in' period ending four months after the issue of the Fundraise Shares.

The Proposed Fundraise is scheduled to close on or around 7th August 2026 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and admission of the Fundraise Shares to trading on AIM. A further announcement on the Proposed Fundraise will be released in due course.

Further Background

The Company has decided to raise these funds via a non-brokered private placement from existing and new investors that the Company believes could contribute to the success of Conroy and its “Discs of Gold” project.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Proposed Fundraise to advance the Phase 2 drilling programme now underway, to progress the Company’s proposed dual listing on the TSX-Venture Exchange in Canada; to continue its activities in securing material asset-level investment; and for general working capital purposes.

Mr. John Sherman, the Company's Chairman, commented:

"The Board is pleased to announce the proposed fundraise which reflects the Board’s  confidence in the “Discs of Gold” project following the successful completion of our Phase 1 drilling programme at Clontibret, across which we intersected the deepest gold mineralisation recorded at the deposit to date, identified a substantial Buddingtonite alteration system that may help vector us towards further mineralisation, and demonstrated increasing continuity of the mineralised system northwards towards the Corcaskea target.  Our Phase 2 drilling programme involves testing the Orlock Bridge Fault Zone between the Clay Lake target and Clontibret, together with further targeted drilling at Clontibret. In addition to progressing the Phase 2 programme, the fundraise will also support the Company’s continued progress towards a proposed dual listing on the TSX-Venture Exchange in Canada, broadening the Company’s access to the long-term value investors in North America, strategic joint-venture partners and other asset-level investors who have supported the project.”

About the ‘Discs of Gold’ project

Conroy Gold’s ‘Discs of Gold’ project inIrelandis defined by two parallel district scale gold trends, extending over c.95km, which are 100 per cent. held under license by the Company, and anchored by the Clontibret gold deposit. The Clontibret target area contains a currently defined 517Koz gold resource @ 2.0 g/t Au (320Koz Au Indicated and 197Koz Au Inferred (2017)) which remains open in multiple directions. The Company has identified a further seven gold targets in its license area with the Clay Lake and Creenkill gold targets being of particular interest.Gold occurs in multiple styles in the Company’s license area, including free gold, refractory gold in arsenopyrite and gold associated with pyrite and antimony (stibnite), suggesting multiple hydrothermal events seeded the deposit. There are clear geological analogies between the “Discs of Gold” targets and large gold deposits inSoutheastern AustraliaandAtlantic Canada.
