Horizonte Minerals PLC Announces Notice of AGM

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND POSTING OF ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS

Horizonte Minerals Plc, (AIM:HZM, TSX:HZM) ('Horizonte' or 'the Company') the nickel company focused on Brazil, announces that its annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis as at 31 December 2020 and Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular have been posted to shareholders and are available to download on the Company's website at www.horizonteminerals.com and on Sedar at www.sedar.com

The Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 2.30pm on 17 May 2021 at Horizonte's offices located at Rex House, 4-12 Regent Street, London, SW1Y 4RG.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic we expect that government restrictions will prohibit or limit the number of attendees at indoor public gatherings. The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 temporarily suspended shareholders' rights to attend company meetings. It is not clear whether this suspension will be extended so that it is in place at the time of the AGM, however regardless of the status of this Act, the Company will be unable to admit shareholders to the AGM in person if to do so would put the shareholders and/or the Company in breach of any government restrictions. Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to exercise their votes by submitting their proxy forms either electronically or by post, and urged not to turn up in person.
