Placing to raise GBP0.5 million

Kazera Global plc ("Kazera Global", "Kazera" or "the Company"), the AIM quoted investment company who, through its stake in African Tantalum (Pty) Limited ("Aftan"), has an interest in the Namibia Tantalite Investment Mine ("NTI" or the "Mine") in Namibia, is pleased to announce that is has raised GBP0.5 million before expenses through a placing of 29,411,765 new ordinary shares of 1p each at a price of 1.70p each.

Highlights:

-- Successful placing to raise gross proceeds of GBP0.5 million through the issue of 29,411,765 new ordinary shares of 1p each at a price of 1.70p each

-- The net proceeds of the Placing will put the Company on a stronger foot to cover its overheads and to continue to progress its drilling campaign of resource identification at Signaalberg and White City deposits, together with advancing discussions with funders for the Orange River Pipeline

Larry Johnson, CEO of Kazera Global, said:

"I am delighted with the continued support that Kazera has received from our shareholders. The proceeds of the placing will be used for working capital purposes and will enable Kazera to continue the drill programme at key targets, Signaalberg and White City, which follows the completion of drilling at Homestead and Purple Haze, where we await the results.

As announced last week, we are also conducting discussions with two international groups who have approached the Company with indicative offers for the funding of construction of the Orange River Pipeline to the Mine, as well as offtake proposals. This new funding will further enable this process."

Placing Summary

The Placing will raise, in aggregate, GBP0.5 million before expenses through the placing of, in aggregate, 29,411,765 new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 1.70p per share (the "Placing"). The Placing Shares to be issued will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares and, subject to shareholder approval, will represent approximately 10.1% of the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital, following admission of the Placing Shares.

Application will be made for the 29,411,765 Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading in the Placing Shares will commence at 8:00 a.m. on 28 March 2019.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 284,128,268 Ordinary Shares, with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and therefore this figure of 284,128,268 Ordinary Shares 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 in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
