Divestment of Grundtrӓsk Exploration Licences

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company, focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore project and the Åtvidaberg Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") lead-zinc-copper-silver exploration licence in Sweden, and its graphite portfolio in Finland, is pleased to announce the divestment of its Grundtrӓsk gold exploration licences.

Highlights

• The Company has divested its Grundtrӓsk nr 6 and nr 7 gold exploration licences to Erris Resources Limited ("Erris",http://errisresources.com).
• Erris is a private exploration and development company, founded in 2013 by David Hall, Chairman of Horizonte Minerals plc and founder of Stratex International plc.
• The cash consideration paid by Erris is deferred.
• Beowulf will receive a first payment of US $200,000 on announcement by Erris of an independently audited JORC Code compliant indicated resource of 100,000 ounces of gold.
• In addition, a second payment of US $2 per ounce, on announcement by Erris of an independently audited JORC Code compliant indicated resource for Grundtrӓsk of at least one million ounces.
• And finally, a 1% net smelter royalty payment ("NSR") for gold produced from the licence areas being transferred to Erris. Erris has the right to buy back the NSR for US $2 million.
• The Company has applied to the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden for a transfer of the licences to Erris. The transfer of the licences is conditional on approval by the Mining Inspectorate.

Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:

"I am very pleased to announce the divestment of Grundtrӓsk to Erris.

"Beowulf rationalised its exploration portfolio in 2015, reducing the total area held and associated running costs, while maintaining the most interesting parts of Grundtrӓsk.

"Grundtrӓsk has remained a non-core asset to Beowulf, and, in Erris, we have found a company with the ambition and requisite expertise to advance our mutual interests and potentially realise value from these licences."
