Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a subscription today to raise £1 million before expenses at an issue price of 0.03 pence per new ordinary share ("Issue Price") for the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project ("Zulu").

In addition, the Company has settled £0.140 million of supplier's invoices and certain accrued but unpaid salaries of former directors through the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company, also at the Issue Price.

Premier's principal priority and the basis of this funding is firstly, to complete the purchase of the 15-20 TPH flotation cell plant manufactured by Xinhai Technology Processing EPC ("Xinhai Flotation Plant") with the objective of enabling Zulu to produce product at commercially acceptable levels of grade and recovery. Secondly, to part fund certain operating expenses at Zulu as part of the installation of the Xinhai Flotation Plant and ongoing creditor management.

Graham Hill, Managing Director, commented, "I am delighted that we have been able to progress with this subscription to enable us to advance the project to install the new flotation plant. I am confident this will provide Zulu with the opportunity to progress to commercial production in the shortest possible time. I would like to thank the whole team for staying focussed on the needs of the Company and the future of Zulu".
