Notice of Status of Defeating Conditions under TGM Offer

Sydney, Feb 23, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Theta Gold Mines Limited (googlechartASX:TGM) (googlechart3LM:FRA) (googlechartTGMGF:OTCMKTS) refers to its replacement bidder's statement dated 4 January 2022 (as supplemented from time to time) (Replacement Bidder's Statement) and offers in relation to its off-market takeover bid for all of the shares in Focus Minerals Ltd (ACN 005 470 799) (Focus) as at the Register Date stated in the Replacement Bidder's Statement.

The Company advises that its Offer is wholly unconditional and has been since 3 February 2022, the date on which the Company announced that the Offer was free from all remaining defeating conditions.

In accordance with section 630(5)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a formal notice of the status of defeating conditions is attached.

TGM urges Focus Shareholders to ACCEPT unconditional Offer without delay TGM strongly encourages all Focus Shareholders (who hold shares to which the Offer relates) to ACCEPT TGM's wholly unconditional Offer as soon as possible.

As announced on 14 February 2022:

- TGM has improved its Offer Consideration and accepting Focus Shareholders will now receive 5 New TGM Shares for every 2 Focus Shares; and

- the improved Offer Consideration is now best and final and will not be increased (unless there is a competing proposal).

The Offer is scheduled to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday 2 March 2022 (unless further extended or withdrawn).

Focus Shareholders who require any assistance (including a replacement Acceptance Form) can contact the TGM Offer Information Line on 1300 737 760 (toll free within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9600 (normal charges apply) between 9.00am and 5.00pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday.

Chairman Bill Guy comments "The offer for Focus Minerals is drawing to a close. Under existing Focus management structure, the company's two key assets in the Western Australia Eastern Goldfield have unfortunately not been brought into production."

"I couldn't stress enough that the existing board and management structure of Focus with almost no shares in the company are not ideal in today's highly competitive mining environment. Post to this Offer close, Theta will formally communicate with controlling shareholder Shandong Gold to work out an optimum plan to progress production at these two assets."
