## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc: Result of Placing**

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA OR JAPAN.

FURTHER, THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT AN OFFER OF SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION.

ST HELIER, Jersey, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("**Caledonia**" or the "**Company**") (NYSE AMERICAN: CMCL; AIM: CMCL; VFEX: CMCL) is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made at 7.05 a.m. today regarding the Fundraise (the "**Launch Announcement**"), it has raised, subject to certain conditions, approximately £8.7 million (approximately US$10.6 million) before expenses under the Placing. The Placing received strong support from new and existing institutional investors. As announced in the Launch Announcement, it is expected that the Zimbabwe Placing will remain open until 12.00 p.m. on 31 March 2023 and a further announcement will be made in respect thereof in due course.

A total of **781,749** Placing Shares have been placed with domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investors, conditional on Admission, at the Placing Price. Cenkos, Liberum, and Standard Bank acted as joint bookrunners in relation to the Placing.

The net proceeds of the Fundraise, together with the Company's existing cash reserves and the future cash to be generated from its ownership of the producing and cash generative Blanket Mine and from the Bilboes oxide operation, will strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide the Company with working capital flexibility to accelerate planned work at the three new gold projects it is currently undertaking in Zimbabwe.

**Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc, Chief Executive Officer, Mark Learmonth, commented:**

*"This modest fund raise allows us to accelerate progress on our very attractive package of exploration and development assets in Zimbabwe. In addition, I am pleased to see a range of institutional investors who support Caledonia's long-term vision join the share register."*

**Director / PDMR Dealing**

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, and Toziyana Resources Limited ("**Toziyana Resources**"), a company affiliated with Victor Gapare, executive Director of the Company, have conditionally subscribed for 3,587 Placing Shares and 11,000 Placing Shares respectively, both at the Placing Price. The resultant interests in shares of Mark Learmonth and Victor Gapare are as follows:
