and what the RNS said
Premier African Minerals Limited, the AIM-traded, multi-commodity mining and natural resource development company focused in Southern and Western Africa, announces that in the light of the ongoing delays in obtaining final sign-off from the Zimbabwean Government, the Board has decided to fully impair RHA Tungsten Mine ("RHA") at this time and these adjustments to the final draft accounts are subject now to final technical review and sign-off by the Company's auditors. This is expected early next week.
Premier believes that it has substantially agreed the basis for the proposed RHA equity restructuring with the Zimbabwean Government and is waiting for sign-off, following which this impairment can be reviewed as and when RHA returns to production.
