ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE MADE BY THE AIM APPLICANT PRIOR TO ADMISSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 2 OF THE AIM RULES FOR COMPANIES ("AIM RULES")

COMPANY NAME:

Richmond Hill Resources PLC ("Richmond Hill" or the "Company")

 

COMPANY REGISTERED OFFICE ADDRESS AND IF DIFFERENT, COMPANY TRADING ADDRESS (INCLUDING POSTCODES):

78 Pall Mall, St James's, London, SW1Y 5ES

COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:

The Company entered into an agreement with Ulvestone Limited ("Ulvestone") to acquire the entire issued share capital of Bulawayo CC Ventures Limited ("Bulawayo") for a consideration of £3,300,000 to be satisfied through the issue of 315,000,000 Ordinary Shares and £150,000 in cash.

 

Bulawayo is the owner of the Saint-Sophie project (the "Project") consisting of 145 map designated mineral exploration titles covering a total surface area of approximately 87 km2 located in the Centre-du-Québec region, approximately 165 km east of Montreal and 80 km southwest of Quebec City in Canada, within a region known for copper mineralisation.

 

On Admission, Richmond Hill (through Bulawayo) will hold 145 map designated mineral exploration titles covering the Centre-du-Québec region. The region lies within the Appalachian mountain belt, featuring Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary and volcanic rocks (Humber Zone) known to host copper mineralisation. The claims to the titles were acquired by several individuals and companies through map designation and are currently owned by Bulawayo. There is a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) on all mineral production from the Project owed to 1426706 BC Ltd.

 

From Admission, the Company's strategy is the development of the Project. The Company believes the Project area is anomalous in copper. The copper occurrences located on the Sainte-Sophie property have not yet been explored with modern technologies and work to date has been mostly limited to trenching and soil surveys. Drilling is sparse and has not reached beyond 61 metres in depth. The Sainte-Sophie property remains an interesting area for copper and other commodities such as silver and molybdenum. Furthermore, the Company may invest in and/or acquire further complementary mineral targets and resources.
