General Meeting Results
Bushveld Minerals Limited (AIM: BMN), the integrated primary vanadium producer, is pleased to announce that the resolution put to shareholders at the General Meeting held earlier today was duly passed.

All other terms of the subscription remain the same.
| No. | Ordinary Resolution | Votes | ||
| In Favour | Against | Withheld | ||
| 1 | To proceed with the sale of Vanchem | 989,959,661 | 52,500,899 | 1,323,588 |
The Vanchem Disposal remains conditional upon Orion consent to the SPR Arrangements and Competition Tribunal Approval, which is expected at the end July 2024/beginning of August 2024.
Craig Coltman, CEO of Bushveld Minerals Limited, commented:
"I would like to thank the shareholders for voting in favour of today's resolution. The sale of Vanchem will enable the Group to focus its management and financial capacity on Vametco, without incurring the additional working capital and capital expenditures demands at Vanchem which in the current market environment are unsustainable. The Company will now seek to complete outstanding conditions to enable it to drawdown on additional funding from SPR and to complete the Orion 2024 Financing Package as detailed in the Company's circular."
Defined terms used in this announcement carry the same meanings as those ascribed to them in the Company's circular.
