Zulu Update

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company"), is pleased to provide an interim update on drilling progress at Premier's Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project ("Zulu").

Highlights:

·

Drilling at Zulu continues to demonstrate significant mineralised intersections in extensions to the existing resource location.

·

4,190 meters drilled to date (5 November 2021: 3,231).

·

24 holes completed (5 November 2021: 19).

·

11 complete bore hole sample sets (5 November: 5) and 499 samples now submitted for independent assay.

·

Samples submitted over known step out zone 1, of which strike extension is yet to be determined.

George Roach, CEO commented," Whilst we wait for assay results and modelling, it is most encouraging to note the pegmatite intersections encountered in a zone not previously included in any of our exploration target assessments or in the existing resource estimate. Together with preliminary results from exploration activities in the wider Exclusive Prospecting Area, this continues to support my view that Zulu is likely to emerge as one of the more substantial hard rock lithium rich regions in Zimbabwe, a country already hosting significant LCT pegmatites, and a deposit with world class potential.

As announced on 5 November 2021, I indicated that Premier was in discussion with interested parties regarding investment into Zulu. I can confirm that due diligence visits are underway, and indications are that Premier is dealing with strong and growing interest as we progress Zulu."

Drilling at Zulu:

 

In recent weeks, the Company has encountered significant intersections in a zone immediately south and east of the previously declared Inferred Resource Estimate (as declared on 6 June 2017). Details are set out below.

 

The Company has now completed 24 drill holes and 11 bore hole sample sets, equivalent to approximately 4,190 meters since the start of the DFS.

 

Recent intersections in this new zone include:
