Scotgold Resources Limited ("Scotgold", the "Company" or the "Group")

Update on financing discussions

On 2 October 2023 the Company announced that the most advanced prospective investor had decided not to proceed with investment in the Company and had withdrawn from the discussions it was having with Scotgold.

Further to this, the Company is now in advanced discussions with a new strategic investor which, should final agreement be reached, is expected to provide sufficient funding for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Whilst financing discussions are at an advanced stage, in the event the Company cannot secure financing with the new strategic investor, this could result in the appointment of Administrators.

Further announcements will be made in due course.
