Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to provide this update on the plant status and flotation plant test run at Zulu Lithium and Tantalum ("Zulu") following the installation of spodumene float section inserts. As previously announced, the purpose of the installation and commissioning of the inserts is to reduce the retention time of concentrates in the cleaner section of the original float plant and in so doing, improve grade and recovery (full details of which were announced on 17 October 2024).
Highlights
| Ø | Installation of spodumene float section inserts complete. |
| Ø | Plant restarted on 6 July 2025. |
George Roach, CEO, commented; "Thanks to the outstanding support we have received from each of the OEM suppliers associated with all the plant components from the mill to final floatation, we have been able to restart the plant late afternoon on 6 July 2025.
The plant has run with limited feed to allow for checks on the operation of each of the plant components and process integration up to the spodumene cleaner cell inserts that will be brought into the process today once sealants have hardened.
All being well, ore from the ROM pad will be fed from today and commissioning and optimisation of the Primary Spodumene Floatation Plant will follow.
Preliminary results and progress updates at Zulu will follow once they become available and have been properly validated."
