Premier African Minerals Limited (“Premier” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the plant status at the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project (“Zulu”) following the announcement on 25 July 2025.
The second phase of the plant test run is now expected to commence on Monday, 4 August 2025, with all necessary OEM’s present. Operating parameters will be finalised and agreed with the Zulu team and OEM suppliers, to meet the required spodumene concentrate specifications. By operating within these parameters and optimizing the remaining areas in the plant with guidance from the relevant OEM’s, the plant should reach a sustained steady-state of operation. This would also enable Zulu to target the overall plant availability of 22 days per month as was originally projected as the required availability to meet target production levels.
George Roach, CEO, commented, “At present the OEM and Zulu personnel are conducting inspections, normal maintenance, and a minor change to flow control in the spodumene float section in advance of this second test run.
Some operating parameter changes and the possible reintroduction of an additional reagent successfully used in 2024, to the extent necessary, round out the preparations. Our expectation remains that this will see another major step forward in the optimisation process.”
The person who arranged the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company was George Roach.
