Tethyan Resources PLC
Equity placing of GBP1 million
Tethyan Resources PLC ("Tethyan" or the "Company") (AIM:TETH) is
pleased to announce that it has successfully raised GBP1 million
before expenses from the issue of 22,222,223 new ordinary shares of
0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Placing Shares") at
a placing price of 4.5 pence per share ("the Placing").
The Placing was supported by both new and existing investors,
including Southern Arc Minerals Inc. ("Southern Arc") and a number
of the Directors and senior management at Tethyan, further details
of which are set out below.
The net proceeds of the Placing attributable to the Company
(being approximately GBP 950,000 after fees and expenses) will be
used for a 6,000 metre exploration drilling programme at the
Company's Suva Ruda project and general working capital
requirements.
Peter Mullens, CEO of the Company, commented: "We are very
pleased to complete this financing with SP Angel at this time in
the market. A number of existing shareholders and directors
participated in the placing, as did Southern Arc, our major
shareholder who took up their entire entitlement. This will allow
us to move forward with a major work program over the summer of
2017 to advance the Suva Ruda project in Serbia and to build a
pipeline of projects. Drilling will commence at Suva Ruda in late
April 2017."
Appointment of Broker
Tethyan is pleased to announce the appointment of SP Angel
Corporate Finance LLP ("SP Angel") as Broker to the Company with
immediate effect. SP Angel acted as a placing agent to the Company
in connection with the Placing.

following shareholders of the Company and persons discharging
managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), as defined in EU Regulation

Kantarcigil are related parties to Tethyan, as defined in the AIM
Rules for Companies and, due to their participation in the Placing,
the transaction is a related party transaction as specified in Rule
13 of the AIM Rules ("Related Party Transaction").
John Proust and Dr Mike Andrews, Directors of the Company, were
nominated to the Board of Tethyan by Southern Arc and are therefore

Rules. Accordingly, Peter Mullens, being the independent director
of Tethyan for the purposes of the Related Party Transaction
considers, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser,
Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, that the terms and conditions of the
Placing are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the
Company are concerned.
