"Spokesperson of Premier African Minerals Mr Fuad Sillem told our Harare Bureau last week from his London base that the firm is lining up a $64 million investment for its Matabeleland North venture.
�We completed a scoping study on the Zulu Lithium Project at the end of last year. The study demonstrates a technically feasible and economically robust lithium project. We are looking to secure the funding as soon as possible. We are currently in discussions with a number of strategic groups with regards to the financing of the feasibility study of the project.
�We have invested a significant amount of capital on exploration drilling, resource estimations, metallurgical test work and other engineering studies. The project will cost around $64 million to build, with peak funding requirements of only $38 million. The project will generate 452 direct jobs and make a significant contribution to the local economy,� he said."

So NOT $64m but more like �4.5m (�2.5m drilling to DFS - �2m on top for operating expenditure)
