Herencia Resources plc

("Herencia" or the "Company"

US$300,000 loan facility and Company Update

Herencia Resources Plc (AIM: HER), the multi-commodity resources company with a primary focus on developing its high-quality copper and gold exploration projects in Chile, announces your Company has entered into a US$300,000 senior secured loan facility with Australian Special Opportunity Fund ("Lind Partners") and Oriental Darius Co. Ltd ("Oriental") as well as providing an update on the Company's progress.

As announced on Tuesday 30(th) July, WH Ireland Limited has resigned as Nominated Adviser (Nomad) and Joint Broker to the Company with immediate effect.

Ongoing Financial Support

The Company has received a financial loan facility from its major shareholders of US$300,000, reflecting the ongoing financial support of its two major shareholders for over two years. Such financial assistance is not unusual and has been the only capital support.

The facility will be provided to the Company by the Shareholders by way of a secured convertible facility with a face value of $360,000 ("Face Value"), the agreed amount to be repaid by the Company over the 12-month term of the agreement. It is also intended that the convertible security will have the same conditions as announced on 5th April 2016. Herencia (AIM: HER) announces that Lind Partners and Oriental may each exercise its right to convert;

US$150,000 of convertible loan notes with a face value of US$180,000 into shares at an exercise price of "The Next Placement Price" ("Conversion"). Pursuant to the Conversion at a later date, new ordinary shares of "The Next Placement Price" each ("Ordinary Shares"), will be admitted to trading on AIM. Shares from the current Term Sheets of US$300,000 and past Term Sheets with the same conditions will not be issued until the Company is out of suspension.

The company entered into this loan facility in order to immediately settle a "Windup Order" from its former Nomad, WH Ireland for GBP83,447.42, which was settled in full on 11 July 2019.

The delay in release of the RNS for the loan facility is due to the company not been able to reach an agreement with our former Nomad on the language of the RNS and the WH Ireland Limited resignation.
