Extremadura Government Grant Received

W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES), the tungsten, tin and gold mining company with assets in Spain and Portugal, is pleased to announce it received notification on Friday 7 May 2021 that the Grant from the Junta de Extremadura Government, which was initially awarded in March 2018 for the sum of EUR5.3m has, subject to one amendment, been paid and total proceeds of EUR5.2m have now been received as settlement in full.

In February 2020, W received a EUR5m loan from Spanish bank, Banco Santander, S.A ("Santander") in order to monetise the Grant and this has now been repaid, reducing the Group's debt and further strengthening the balance sheet.

Michael Masterman said: "Receipt of the EUR5.2m grant proceeds is a long awaited and extremely timely outcome. It's a true credit to the team to have been awarded this grant and received the cash funds. We have immediately used the funds to reduce debt and strengthen our balance sheet. With tin prices up 100% in the last six months, strong tungsten prices and materially improved plant performance we expect a strong second half of 2021."

W also confirms that Michael Masterman, Pablo Neira and Paul Hailes will host an investor presentation and Q&A, at 12pm on Monday 17 May 2021. Investors are invited to register their interest and submit questions to wres@almapr.co.uk .
