The full list of the Company's Botswana licences and their status is included below, as well as a map demonstrating their location.

CEO, Robin Birchall, commented:

"Licence compliance and renewal is a key part of operating as an exploration company and I would like to thank our team and the Department of Mines in Botswana for their hard work and cooperation in delivering these renewals. I am now proud to say that all the licences in our portfolio in Botswana have been renewed, demonstrating our team's commitment to operating in line with our regulatory commitments. Of particular note is that we have renewed priority licence PL 2474, which forms part of the Sweet Thorn Pan prospect alongside PL 0235 This licence has been shown from historical work to have the known mineralised contact that is being mined by the nearby MMG Khoemacau operations, and this renewal has ensured that we maintain all of the originally identified prospective areas."
