Zulu Lithium Update

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company"), is pleased to report on the progress of the installation and commissioning of the RHA Ball Mill ("Mill") at Premier's Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project ("Zulu").

George Roach, CEO, commented, "Subsequent to our update of 23 August 2023, I am pleased to confirm the completion of the installation of the Mill including all necessary feeds and discharge components, pumps, control circuitry and grinding media requirements that is expected to support planned production of up to 1,000 tons per month of spodumene from November 2023 at Zulu.

The commissioning phase is now planned to commence from today with first material expected to be fed through the Mill on Monday, 25 September 2023.

Open pit mining operations at Zulu are expected to resume next week and while there is already substantial material on the run-of-mine pad, it remains critical that the plant has sufficient ore for current processing.

Further updates will follow in Premier's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023 which will be published on 29 September 2023."
