("EEGC"), and 2,500,001 shares (representing 24.8%) from TXO Plc.

The consideration payable to EEGC is £346,095, which is to be satisfied by the issue of 13,843,800 new Alpha shares at 2.5p each and for TXO the payment of £ 192,275 is to be satisfied by the issue of 7,691,000 new Alpha shares.

EEGC's holding will be 13,843,800 shares and TXO's 7,691,000 shares, representing 4.5% and 2.5% of the issued share capital of Alpha, respectively.

Christopher Foster, CEO of Alpha Prospects Plc, commented: "Having acquired control of TOG, we look forward to working with the team in Tasmania, who have exceptional local knowledge, to drive the business forward.
