Starvest Plc ("Starvest" or the "Company")

Net Asset Value at 31 December 2022

Starvest Plc (LON:SVE), the London Stock Exchange AIM-listed specialist mining and resources investment company, announces a Net Asset Value ("NAV") update as at 31 December 2022.

Mark Badros, CEO, commented: "Despite a 9.7% increase in our portfolio value in the fourth quarter of 2022, Starvest's portfolio value, net asset value and share price declined in 2022 compared to a year ago, largely due to the share price decline of our largest investment position, Greatland Gold. Notwithstanding the difficult market that many investors faced across multiple asset classes globally, the continued positive exploration results, development progress and fundamentals for this key holding remain attractive in our opinion."

The NAV as at 31 December 2022 and certain prior periods were as follows:

 
                            31 Dec 2022   30 Sept 2022     31 Dec 2021
