Marechale Completes Fundraise for Weardale Lithium
Publication of Final Results
Marechale Capital Plc (AIM: MAC), an established City of London based corporate
finance house with a long-term track record and a strong reputation for
advising and financing high growth consumer brands, leisure, clean energy,
mineral extraction and technology companies, is pleased to announce that it has
completed a first close fundraise of equity for the lithium exploration and
development company, Weardale Lithium Ltd ("Weardale"), at a significantly
higher valuation to the successful fund raising last year. Post close,
Marechale owns an 8.5% interest in Weardale.
Weardale is a lithium exploration and development business based in the
Weardale Valley, County Durham in the north of England. Lithium is globally
acknowledged as a critical mineral which is integral to the green transition.
The mineral is a key component in batteries which can be used in electric
vehicles and energy storage. As the UK government implements its climate
strategy, Weardale presents an opportunity to develop a domestic supply of a
critical raw material.
Patrick Booth-Clibborn, CEO of Marechale Capital, commented: "We are delighted
with the result of the fundraise and the response from shareholders and new
investors, which included experienced mining and private equity fund managers.
"In the current climate, and as we look towards the future, there is a clear
appetite for companies which are integral to the green transition, and we are
pleased to have assisted Weardale as it advances its lithium brine projects in
the North East of England.
"The successful fundraise follows Weardale's North East Future Resource
Conference which Marechale co-sponsored. We look forward to continuing to work
closely with Weardale and remain confident in the potential uplift value for
Marechale shareholders in Weardale Lithium, as well as our other clean energy,
technology and hospitality investments."

The Company can confirm that its final results for the year ended 30 April 2022
will be announced towards the end of August 2022. A copy of the results will be
