Premier African Minerals Limited provided this update on progress at Premier's Zulu Lithium and Tantalum (Zulu) project in Zimbabwe. Highlights: Preliminary drilling of first step out zones one and two now completed. Three rigs now operating. Geotechnical training of local technical staff completed. Geotechnical core logging and inspections have commenced, using industry standard operating procedures. Resource estimate update commenced. 19 bore holes now completed, and 3,231 meters drilled. Complete sample set from first 5 drill holes submitted to external laboratories for assay. On the one hand, this is frustratingly slow, but on the other, it is indicative of widely dispersed pegmatite and wide intersections of potentially mineralised material at Zulu. It should also be noted that Premier only drills core and whilst this is considerably slower and more expensive than other drilling methods such as reverse circulation, the benefits include the ability to better define the ore body, better identify mineralisation and minerology, deal with geo-technical requirements needed to support mine and pit design, and generally allow other aspects of the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") to proceed simultaneously with the drilling programme. At the same time, exploration activities in the wider Exclusive Prospecting Area ("EPO") area continue and preliminary results of spectral mapping and interpretation are generating anomalous areas of further potential interest for ground follow up. Premier is not restricted to any specific mineral within this EPO area, that is known to include historic gold workings. Upward price pressure on chemical grade spodumene for lithium hydroxide production is pervasive and strongly supports efforts to optimise timelines to completion of DFS, scheduled for third quarter of 2022. Premier is in negotiations with interested parties that have indicated an intention to consider a direct investment such that the complete DFS program may be fully funded in return for acquisition of a minority interest in the Zulu project. Premier continues to consider all alternatives and options that may add value and accelerate development of the project including further direct funding. No agreement has been reached at this time in regard to future funding for the balance of the DFS programme. The company has now completed 19 drill holes, equivalent to approximately 3,231 meters since the start of the DFS programme. All bar one has intersected visible mineralisation. The current drilling programme is focussed on expanding as well as upgrading the resources in the main zone, and, to delineate further the Lithium mineralisation in the step out zone.
