Fundraising: Update and Closing

Cora Gold Limited, the West African focused gold company, announces an update to the announcements of 06 and 24 February 2023 regarding the closing of the fundraising, comprising both equity (the 'Equity Financing') and convertible loan notes (the 'Convertible Financing') (together the 'Fundraising'). Due to an administrative delay the Company is awaiting receipt of consideration from one counterparty in relation to the Convertible Financing. Once the outstanding consideration is received then the Company will proceed to close the Fundraising, which will include an application for admission to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange in respect of the new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company related to the Equity Financing. The Company will provide a further update on this in due course.

The Fundraising for aggregate investments of US$19,803,169.26 comprises:

-- 80,660,559 ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company ('Ordinary Shares') at a price of US$0.0487 per share for total gross proceeds of US$3,928,169.26 in respect of the Equity Financing; and

-- convertible loan notes convertible into Ordinary Shares for a total of US$15,875,000 in respect of the Convertible Financing.

The funds raised will be primarily used to commence development of the Company's flagship Sanankoro Gold Project in southern Mali following the reported Optimised Project Economics (announcement dated 21 November 2022), which highlighted strong economic fundamentals.
