Battery Metals Joint Venture Pre-emption - Funding Update

Corcel Plc (London AIM: CRCL), the extractive industries exploration and development company, with interests in battery metals including nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements, announces that it has been notified by Battery Metals Pty Ltd ("BMA"), its partner on Mambare, of its intention to exercise its pre-emption rights and therefore buy out Corcel's 41% interest in the Mambare nickel-cobalt project for an equivalent cash consideration to the battery metals joint venture announced 1^st March 2023.  This pre-emption right only covers the Mambare asset and remains subject to further legal documentation.  The Company is also currently following up on several details as relates to BMA's acceptance of the Mambare buy-out offer, and will make an additional announcement on the sale process, expected cash proceeds and the associated ramifications of the potential buy-out on the agreed Integrated Battery Metals joint venture that was announced on 1 March 2023 that it will discuss with the counterparty, when appropriate.            

The Company also confirms that, further to the fundraising announced on 28 March 2023, it has received proof of funds having been sent for the initial £300,000 subscription and is now just awaiting funds to be received in the UK, which is expected early next week.
