Appointment of Joint Broker and placing

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a placing today to raise £400,000 before expenses at an issue price of 0.09 pence per new ordinary share.

Appointment of Joint Broker

Premier is also pleased to announce the appointment of SVS Securities plc as the Company's joint broker to work alongside its existing corporate broker, Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited, with immediate effect.

Placing

Premier has today issued by way of a placing ("Placing"), conditional on admission, 444,444,444 new ordinary shares of nil par value ("Placing Shares") at a Placing price of 0.09 pence per Placing Share. The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares. Application will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 7 March 2019. The Placing has been undertaken within the Company's existing share authorities. Premier intends to use the proceeds of the Placing to assist with the funding of the ongoing due diligence on the Honey Badger Resources Limited ("HBR") acquisition, deal costs for the HBR and KME Plant (Proprietary) Limited transaction as announced (see RNS dated 14 February 2019) and general working capital necessary for the Group.

George Roach, CEO of Premier, commented: "We have held off taking any placement to cover deal costs and some immediate working capital requirements until now. With renewed progress at RHA Tungsten, due diligence commencing on HBR and first benefits of the anticipated KME Plant Hire deal coming through with our "back -to-work" announcement yesterday in regard to the Zulu Lithium Project, I look forward to a period of refocus on value and the potential benefits of the anticipated acquisitions.

HBR in particular, with a compliant inferred mineral resource greater than 500,000 ounces, partial development including existing surface plant, upside resource potential and anticipated production toward the end of 2019, represents complementary potential early production in support of RHA. I do remind shareholders that we have reached general agreement on issues affecting the financing and return to production at RHA Tungsten with the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Enterprise Development and we will announce further details as soon as the agreements are signed."

Total Voting Rights

Following the issue of the Placing Shares, the Company's issued share capital consists of 8,038,506,729 Ordinary Shares, with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
