Chief Executive Statement
Dear Shareholders,
It is a pleasure to share with you the unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2021.
The first six months activity of 2021 (the ‘Period’) has been extensively reported as post financial year end events in our annual financial statements that were released just a few months ago and in various interim announcements.
I am happy to confirm as we publish these interim results, a few notable achievements including:
· The reversal of the impairment imposed on Zulu Lithium Private limited (‘Zulu’), which has been internally reviewed in consultation with our external auditor;
· International spodumene concentrate prices continue to increase and this is most encouraging for our prospects at Zulu;
· All sample preparation and site analysis equipment has been delivered to Zulu and has been commissioned;
· First provisional analysis results from drilling are imminent;
· Negotiations proceed regarding RHA Tungsten Private Limited (‘RHA’) and whilst ammonium para tungstate prices continue to hold above $300 per metric ton unit, there is a strong potential future for RHA, and
· We continue to engage directly with MN Holding Limited in our focus on cash generative assets.
Financial and Statutory Information
The Group had an operating profit of $3.943 million for the six months ending 30 June 2021. This is due to the reversal of the impairment of the evaluation and exploration assets of Zulu Lithium.
Premier received continued financial support from its shareholders throughout the period.
These interim statements to 30 June 2021 have not been reviewed by the auditors.
Mr. George Roach
Chief Executive Officer
