Kabwe Mine – receipt of funding for Kabwe transaction

Shuka Minerals Plc (AIM/AltX: SKA), an African focused mine operator and developer, provides
an update on the Company's proposed acquisition ("Acquisition") of the Zambian mining and
exploration company, Leopard Exploration and Mining Limited ("LEM") and the Kabwe Zinc
Mine ("Kabwe Mine") located in central Zambia.

Further to its announcement earlier today, the Company has received payment of £815,000
from African focused investment banking and corporate finance group Gathoni Muchai
Investments Limited ("GMI") pursuant to the increased loan ("GMI Loan") entered into on 30
June 2025. This brings the total funds drawn under the GMI Loan to £1.115m, with a further
£385,000 remaining undrawn. The GMI Loan is unsecured, non-convertible and carries an
interest rate of 5% per annum. A 3% establishment fee, as announced on 1 July 2025, will be
settled in due course through the issuance of Shuka shares to GMI at a price of 8 pence per
share.

The Company is arranging payment to the LEM vendors of the balance of the Acquisition cash
consideration, being $1.05m, and issue of balance of the 22,275,588 Consideration Shares (as
defined in the Company's announcement on 1 July 2025) and 1,555,556 Consideration
warrants. The Consideration Shares are being issued at an effective price of 7.817 pence per
share and are subject to a 1 year lock-in restriction.

A further announcement will be made on completion of the Acquisition, following which Shuka
will own 100% of LEM and the world class Kabwe Mine.
