Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D relates to the ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Metals Acquisition Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (the “Issuer”) and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on June 22, 2023 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to update the aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares owned by the Reporting Persons due to dilution caused by the Issuer’s issuance of additional Ordinary Shares, and not in connection with the purchase or disposition of any Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Persons.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Mr. Mohit Rungta, an employee of the Glencore group, currently serves as the Glencore Operations Australia Pty Limited nominee on the Issuer Board (Mr. Rungta replaced Mr. Matt Rowlinson and Mr. John Burton, whom were the previous Glencore Operations Australia Pty Limited nominees).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) - (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) - (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D, as of October 28, 2024, are incorporated herein by reference.

As of October 28, 2024, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 12.1% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. This percentage was calculated based on 82,438,431 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of October 15, 2024, based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the Schedule I Persons, has effected any transaction during the past 60 days in any Ordinary Shares.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
