Decent yearly report, goal post moved3 Jul 2024 10:23
It may just be me, but i actually thought the yearly report was quite decent. I wish all RNS released from PREM were that detailed and professionally written. My favourite parts were:
"It is important to acknowledge the support that has been provided by our offtake and prepayment partner. Our communication remains open and frank and the Company remains committed to meeting the long-term interests of our offtake partner that is focussed on the supply of SC6 into the future. At the same time, our offtake and prepayment partner is aware of the challenges that the production delays have caused, in particular in relation to cash flows and has expressed agreement to the Company seeking other finance opportunities provided the long-term interests of our offtake partner are not impinged." Glad to hear relationship is solid.
"Application has been made for renewal of the EPO but in the event that this is not forthcoming, the company has registered extensive new mining claims over prospective areas within the EPO." I knew this was wasn't going to be an easy fix like SK and Dead Brain Beaky were alluding to. Their words back in March: "George told me it is a non issue." 🤦
"Premier had acquired operational control and 50% of this gold exploration project in Southeast Zimbabwe. However, at this time, the focus of Premier will be that of Zulu. Premier will explore other alternative opportunities to releasing the potential value and opportunity of the Turwi Gold Project." Not useful yet but could come in hamdy next year. Glad GR admitted nothing outside of Zulu has been achieved....good, keep your focus on Zulu George!
"At this time, we expect an additional conditioning cell to be installed during the week commencing 10 July 2024 and thereafter it is expected that the plant will operate at design throughput and with adequate recovery to meet the production targets originally agreed." Only 9 more days until we receive info.
All in all, not bad. Sure we will need further funds very soon, i assume a call for shares will be done by end of July, and we need mining and export licences confirmation, but i remain positive. First shipment and production by end of October? 🤔
