("Red Rock" or the "Company")

Issue of Shares and Total Voting Rights

11 May 2023

Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource exploration and development company with interests in gold, copper, cobalt, lithium and other minerals, announces that the Company has raised GBP535,840 before expenses by placing 376,028,070 new ordinary shares of GBP0.0001 each in the Company ("Placing Shares"), at a price of 0.1425 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing"). The net proceeds of the Placing will be used for the Company's activities in Africa and Australia and for general working capital purposes, pending the anticipated receipt of funds from the DRC.

A fee of 7.5% of funds raised will be paid to Clear Capital Corporate Broking ("CCC") in respect of the Placing. CCC will be entitled to receive warrants exercisable for three years into GBP107,168 of Shares at the Placement Price.

Red Rock Chairman Andrew Bell comments : "In our three most key areas of operations in Africa, that is to say Kenya, the DRC, and Zimbabwe, we are at critical stages, with renewals, arbitration awards, and immediate pre-production activities under way. A great deal of administrative support and liaison with stakeholders including Government is required, as well as intensified activity on the ground. Meanwhile we have completed an exploration programme in our Australian JV and are planning future activities leading up to a listing.

In an ideal world, we would have received the first funds from the arbitration in DRC by now, and the listing of our investee company Elephant Oil would be further advanced. But we are not in such a world, and despite high gold prices our sector is affected by liquidity conditions in the market as central banks have begun to reverse the decade-long expansion of their balance sheets, inflation persists, and some regional banks in the US have failed.

In order to focus on driving forward our lithium production programme, and free management time for this, we need to hold position or advance conservatively elsewhere, while gradually strengthening our balance sheet. The major liquidity events to which we look over coming months may now include income from operations, and the current financing is a prudent response to current uncertain conditions that puts the company in a much stronger position."
