How might the next RNS read:
Premier African Minerals is pleased to announce that following the announcement on 8th August 2025, the companybhas decided to go ahead with the purchase of the Secondary Floatation Plant. As previously announced, following extensive works by the OEM contractors, and testing of Zulu ore at other sites with a similar floatation operation, the OEM contractors believe that the installation of this second unit will be the final final final final fix and we are reasonably confident that with this unit, the plant will be capable of producing a saleable grade of product.
As previously announced over a year ago, the issues identified with the sorters require replacement of the units. The original contractor is unwilling to agree to finance the replacement and therefore it is now incumbent on Premier to determine what specific type of sorting method will be sufficient for the ore body at Zulu and as such has commissioned a study to determine which specific types of sorters to purchase. Test work will be required and we expect to have the results of the study within 2 months, at which point the company can source, purchase, install and test new sorters.
In light of this, Premier is pleased to announce that is has raised £700,000 before costs by way of a placing of 7000 million shares. This fundraise has been done in line with the company's existing share authorities.
Additionally, Premier today announces that its issued share capital will be consolidated, in line with the authority granted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
One new share in the company will be issued for every 10 shares currently in issue. Shareholders should note that any shareholding not divisible exactly by 10 will result in the loss of any part shares. For example a shareholding of 180263997 will be consolidated to 18026399 the remaining shares will be lost. Any shareholder holding less than 10 shares in Premier will not receive any new shares in the company and will forfeit their holdings.
Premier is also pleased to announce that following the recent second test run that all pipes have now been unblocked, however the plant is still unable to produce sufficient quantity of product continuously to satisfy the terms of the Letter of Intent issued by the FTSE listed company.
Premier believes that with the new plant and sorters that the Zulu plant will be able to meet the requirements, however finance is an issue and as such Premier also announces it's intention to call an EGM to be held in London, to request authority to issue up to 15 billion additional new Shares in the company further details will be released in a separate announcemnet.
