Premier African Minerals Limited

("Premier" or the "Company")

Director's Subscription

Further to the announcement earlier today relating to the placing to raise £1,020,000 (the "Placing"), Premier is pleased to announce that Coc'Roach Trust, a trust directly associated with George Roach, Director, Chairman and CEO, has now subscribed for a total of 105,263,158 new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 0.19 pence per share (the "Director Shares") being on the same terms as the Placing, for a further sum of £200,000.

Application will be made for the 536,842,105 new ordinary shares of 0.19 pence issued under the Placing, together with the 105,263,158 Director Shares, in aggregate amounting to 642,105,263 new ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Such shares will rank pari passu with all existing ordinary shares in the Company, and Admission is expected to take place on or around 3 February 2017.

George Roach's interest following the subscription by Coc'Roach Trust is described below:

As George Roach is a director of the Company and Substantial Shareholder, the subscription by Coc'Roach Trust ("Director Subscription") is a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules. The Board of Premier, other than George Roach, who are independent under the AIM Rules for the purposes of considering the Director Subscription, consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the Director Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Total voting rights

At Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 2,963,291,883 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 0.1 pence each, with voting rights ("Ordinary Shares"). 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. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
