PUBLICATION OF PROSPECTUS

Pan African is pleased to announce the publication of a prospectus (" Prospectus ") in relation to the proposed admission of its ordinary shares (" Ordinary Shares ") to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) (“ ESCC ”) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (“ FCA ") and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc’s main market for listed securities (" Main Market ") (together, " Admission ").

It is expected that: (i) the Ordinary Shares will be admitted to the ESCC category of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market at 8:00am on 24 October 2025; and (ii) trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM will be cancelled by 8:00am on 24 October 2025. The last day of trading of the Ordinary Shares on AIM is therefore expected to be 23 October 2025.

The Company is not offering any new Ordinary Shares nor any other securities in connection with the proposed Admission. Following Admission, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be registered with their existing ISIN of: GB0004300496 and the Company's ticker symbol will continue to be PAF on the Main Market. For the avoidance of doubt, the Admission will have no impact on the Company’s listing on the JSE. Accordingly, following Admission, the Company will be dual primary listed on the Main Market and the main board of the JSE.

The Company's shareholders should consult their own professional advisors regarding the consequences of Admission on their personal tax position.

The Prospectus has been approved by the FCA and will shortly be available to view on Pan African’s website at https://www.panafricanresources.com/investors/main-market-listing-lse/ . A copy of the Prospectus will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
