Issue of Equity

Pathfinder announces that it has received demand from a private investor to subscribe for 3,003,003 ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 0.8325p per share (the "Subscription"). The proceeds of the Subscription, totalling £25,000, in addition to the proceeds received from the subscriptions announced in March 2016, will further aid the Company in pursuing the recovery of its mining licences.  

The Company has applied for the admission of the Subscription shares to trading on AIM which is expected to take place on or around 15 August 2016 ("Admission"). Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 139,834,659 Ordinary Shares with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, the above figure of 139,834,659 may be used by shareholders 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, Pathfinder under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
