Lionsgold Limited

("Lionsgold", "LION" or the "Company")

100% Ownership Of Goldbloc Achieved and Director/PDMR Shareholdings

Lionsgold (LON: LION), the AIM quoted company focused on the exploration, production and retail application of physical gold, including the development of the digital currency Goldbloc, is pleased to report that its share-for-share offer to the other shareholders of TRAC Technology Ltd ("TRAC") has been concluded with 100% acceptance and Lionsgold is now the 100% owner of TRAC and Goldbloc.

Highlights:

-- All TRAC shareholders accepted Lionsgold's offer and have been issued with New Ordinary Shares in Lionsgold in exchange for their TRAC shares (the "New Ordinary Shares").

-- TRAC is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Lionsgold and LION shall assign to TRAC its three-year exclusive right to utilise the Railsbank Technology Ltd ("Railsbank") banking and compliance platform for physical gold and gold derivatives to be transacted in customer bank accounts.

-- The New Ordinary Shares issued to TRAC CEO Ralph Hazell and his wife Nicola Hazell (who owned 25.63% of TRAC), as well as New Ordinary Shares issued to Liongold's CEO Cameron Parry (5% of TRAC), are subject to a six month hard lock-in period.

-- Lionsgold's 100% ownership of TRAC together with its 12.5% ownership of Railsbank, sees the Company achieve its targeted equity positions in the lead up to the release of Goldbloc -scheduled for this quarter.

Lionsgold Non-Executive Chairman, David Price, commented: "We are delighted to report that Lionsgold is now the 100% owner of TRAC and Goldbloc, and we welcome those TRAC shareholders who have become Lionsgold shareholders. Together with Lionsgold's 12.5% ownership of Railsbank and the recent appointment of LION CEO Cameron Parry to the Railsbank board, we believe Lionsgold's position is optimised for the rollout of Goldbloc and maximised for the benefit of all LION shareholders."

Details of the Issue of LION shares for TRAC shares

All TRAC Shareholders accepted the Offer prior to the Offer close at 5.00 p.m. on Friday 20 April 2018.

Lionsgold has therefore allotted a total of 57,995,304 New Ordinary Shares in Lionsgold to the shareholders of TRAC who held the remaining 1,032 (45%) TRAC shares not already owned by Lionsgold. 39,506,491 of the New Ordinary Shares will be subject to a six month hard lock-in. Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to take place on 27 April 2018. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with existing ordinary shares.

TRAC CEO Ralph Hazell together with his wife Nicola Hazell, as well as LION CEO Cameron Parry have agreed to enter into a six month hard lock-in period from the date of admission to trading of their New Ordinary Shares in Lionsgold issued in exchange for their 25.63%, 3.18% and 5.0% TRAC shareholdings respectively.
