Notes:

   1.        Tradeable securities do not include shares that Cloudbreak holds in unlisted companies 
   2.        NSR = Net Smelter Royalty 

Cloudbreak disposed of certain non-core assets as part of the Settlement Agreements and has chosen to relinquish certain projects with no financial merit or financial impact, which have been provided for in the Company's accounts and details will be disclosed in full in the forthcoming interim report.

Following the Board and Management changes in 2023, Cloudbreak is in the process of refining its investment and acquisition strategy in the energy related minerals sector, with focus on:

   --      Near term revenue or project pivots 
   --      Transition finance 
   --      Project generation 

Cloudbreak will acquire or invest in either quoted or private companies, partnerships, joint ventures or direct interests in projects where it can support a strong management team as well as projects that are relevant to its investment thesis.

The Board will target investments that offer substantial shareholdings in investee companies to maximise the potential of returns to shareholders. However, investment opportunities will be considered on a case-by-case basis and minority interest investments will not be ruled out. Cloudbreak's Board and their supporting team have considerable experience across the mining and oil and gas sectors in a wide range of countries.

Andrew Male, Director, Interim CEO, states: "The combination of Cloudbreak tradeable securities, debentures and the projects enable the Company to position itself well going forward. We intend to create and build new revenue streams enabling the Company to successfully build a stronger underlying value proposition."

This announcement contains information which, prior to its disclosure, was inside information as stipulated under Regulation 11 of the Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019/310 (as amended).
