Operational Update

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to report on the progress of operations at Premier's Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project ("Zulu").

Graham Hill, Managing Director, commented, "Subsequent to our update of 26 May 2026, I am delighted to confirm that ore from the ROM pad is now being fed through the newly installed flotation plant.

Initial observations are positive and the flotation plant is operating as expected. As the plant has only recently commenced processing ROM material, it remains early in the optimisation process, and it would therefore be premature to comment regarding recovery characteristics or overall plant performance.

Ongoing analysis and optimisation work are being undertaken, and further updates will be provided in due course.

This is a very positive step in the re-start of Zulu and congratulations to the Zulu team who have managed to complete this significant addition to the plant."
