Funding
Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has today completed a subscription to raise approximately £550,000 before expenses through the issue of 4,000,000,000 new ordinary shares of nil par value in the capital of the Company at an issue price of 0.01375 pence per new ordinary share (the "Issue Price").
Following the Company's recent update regarding the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project ("Zulu"), the Board remains focused on maintaining operational continuity across both Premier and Zulu while constructive discussions continue with Canmax Technologies Co., Ltd ("Canmax") regarding an extension of the Long Stop Date.
Graham Hill, Managing Director, commented: "This funding provides important working capital to contribute towards ongoing operational requirements at Zulu, including the continuation of mining and stockpiling activities, while the Company progresses its constructive discussions with Canmax regarding an extension of the Long Stop Date.
The Board remains firmly focused on advancing Zulu towards sustained production and commercial operation and believes the Subscription will support continued progress and preparations for the next production and optimisation campaign once a revised operating timetable has been confirmed.
The Company will provide shareholders with a further update once discussions with Canmax have concluded or upon any material development".
