Share Issue Update Following Warrant Conversions

The Directors of Sirius Minerals Plc (AIM: SXX, OTCQX: SRUXY) ("Sirius" or the "Company") hereby provide an update in respect of the warrants issued to investors on 14 March 2014, in connection with the placing by the Company on 6 March 2014.

As per the announcement of 28 May 2015, a block listing application was made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission to trading on AIM of up to 179,351,029 ordinary shares in the Company (the "Block Listing Shares"). The Block Listing Shares are the total number of shares that could be issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued.

Since the last announcement on 29 June 2015 and during the month of July, pursuant to the valid exercise of warrants by individual warrant holders, 45,072,351 Block Listing Shares have been issued and credited as fully paid, meaning a total of 51,251,083 Block Listing Shares have been issued to date, providing the Company with warrant exercise proceeds of approximately GBP9.225m and equating to approximately 28 per cent of the total warrants. These shares rank pari passu in all respects with all existing ordinary shares of the Company.

Accordingly, the Company's enlarged issued share capital now comprises 2,216,118,264 ordinary shares with voting rights. This figure of 2,216,118,264 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The remaining 128,099,946 Block Listing Shares will continue to be issued from time to time pursuant to the exercise of warrants by individual warrant holders during the relevant exercise period. The Company will continue to update the total shares on issue on its website on a regular basis.
