CLN CONVERSION

Katoro Gold plc (AIM: KAT), the AIM listed gold and nickel exploration and development company, announces that, further to its announcements of 30 January 2020, 19 May 2020 and 8 June 2020, it has received further notices from certain clients of SI Capital, the Company's broker, who participated in the January 2020 Convertible Loan Note ('CLN') to convert , in aggregate, GBP 10,000 principal value of the CLN at a conversion price of 1.4 pence per share. As a result, the Company will issue the relevant CLN holders with 714,285 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') ('Conversion Shares') and following the conversion the CLN will have a principal outstanding balance remaining amounting to GBP77,000. The CLN accrues interest at 20% per annum on a daily basis and the total accrued interest relating to the foregoing conversions amounts to GBP1,210.96, which will be settled in cash.

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made for 714,285 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 22 September 2020 ('Admission'). Following Admission, the share capital of the Company will comprise 324,412,595 Ordinary Shares.

Each Ordinary Share has one voting right and no Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights will be 324,412,595 and this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in Katoro under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
