Premier African Minerals Corporate Events
Premier African Minerals has raised about £500,000 via a subscription of new shares and settled £100,000 of supplier invoices in equity at 0.0185 pence per share, issuing a total of 3,243,243,244 new shares. The new capital and debt-for-equity swap are intended to support operating expenses and creditor management at its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project and to provide general working capital.
The funding will primarily back the ongoing installation and commissioning of the 15–20 tonne-per-hour Xinhai flotation plant at Zulu, which is aimed at delivering lithium products at commercially acceptable grades and recoveries. Following admission of the new shares to trading on AIM, expected around 17 March 2026, the company’s enlarged share capital will rise to 17,501,485,100 ordinary shares with voting rights, underscoring continued shareholder dilution as Premier prioritises stabilising operations and consistent production at Zulu.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:PREM) stock is a Sell with a £0.03 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Premier African Minerals stock, see the GB:PREM Stock Forecast page.
Premier African Minerals reported that all resolutions at its 2026 Annual General Meeting were passed by shareholders following a poll vote, confirming strong investor backing for the board’s agenda. The reappointment of director Godfrey Manhambara and the approval of resolutions to disapply pre-emptive rights, including for Canmax conversion rights, provide the company with greater flexibility to raise capital and manage strategic financing arrangements, reinforcing its operational and growth plans in Southern Africa.
The high level of support, with each key resolution receiving more than 97% of votes cast, underlines solid shareholder confidence in Premier’s governance and financing strategy. This endorsement is likely to ease future funding transactions linked to its Zimbabwean projects, potentially accelerating development timelines and strengthening its competitive position in the regional mining sector.

Premier African Minerals has confirmed that a new spodumene flotation plant for its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project has arrived on site in Zimbabwe, marking a key milestone for the operation. The plant, supplied with specialist installation support from Xinhai Technology Processing, will be installed on existing foundations and integrated into the current processing infrastructure at Zulu.
Management said installation has begun immediately, with cranes on site and the Zulu team preparing for assembly under the supervision of an on-site specialist engineer. The company continues to target commissioning of the new flotation circuit during the second quarter of 2026, a step expected to move Zulu toward producing saleable spodumene concentrate and to advance Premier’s position in the regional lithium supply chain.

Premier African Minerals has issued 46,922,389 new ordinary shares to Canmax Technologies after the Chinese partner elected to convert £9,384.48 of accrued interest under their restated offtake and prepayment agreement into equity at 0.02 pence per share. The new Canmax shares, which will rank pari passu with existing stock and are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM around 13 March 2026, increase Premier’s issued share capital to 14,258,241,856 shares and subtly reinforce the strategic relationship with Canmax while slightly diluting existing shareholders’ stakes.
The enlarged share capital figure provides a new baseline for investors assessing disclosure thresholds under UK transparency rules, and highlights ongoing reliance on structured funding tied to Premier’s Zimbabwe-focused lithium and tungsten projects. The move underscores continued financial support from an offtake partner rather than cash interest settlement, which may ease short-term liquidity pressures as the company advances its multi-commodity portfolio in Southern Africa.

Premier African Minerals has confirmed that a new 15–20 tonnes per hour spodumene flotation plant for its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe is due to arrive on site around 3 March 2026, with specialist engineers already mobilised and commissioning targeted for the second quarter of 2026. The upgraded circuit, which will replace the previous flotation unit and is supported by additional infrastructure purchases, is intended to enhance processing efficiency and underpin Zulu’s transition to sustained commercial production.
The company also addressed Zimbabwe’s newly announced suspension of lithium concentrate and raw mineral exports, stating it remains in active dialogue with the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development and aligned with the country’s beneficiation and value-add policy. Having already presented a long-term in-country processing and optimisation roadmap for Zulu, the board does not currently expect the export suspension, which it believes is aimed at specific issues, to derail Zulu’s future production strategy, though it will update stakeholders as regulatory details are clarified.

Premier African Minerals has confirmed that the new 15–20 tonne-per-hour spodumene flotation plant for its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe is scheduled to arrive on site around 3 March 2026, with foundation work complete and an installation engineer from Xinhai Technology Processing already en route. The company aims to commission and optimise the new flotation circuit in the second quarter of 2026, replacing the previous circuit while retaining the rest of the processing plant and sourcing ancillary materials such as walkways and electrical cabling during assembly.
In parallel, Premier is engaging with Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Mines and Mining Development following the sudden suspension of lithium concentrate and raw mineral exports, and it has reiterated its alignment with the country’s beneficiation and value-add policies. Having already presented a long-term in-country processing and optimisation roadmap for Zulu, the board does not currently expect the export suspension, which it understands is targeted at specific issues, to disrupt the project’s future commercial production strategy but will update stakeholders as regulatory clarity improves.

Premier African Minerals has issued 303,768,117 new ordinary shares to J R Goddard Contracting in lieu of a US$77,765 portion of outstanding invoices, priced at 0.02 pence per share, in line with a prior settlement agreement. The shares will be admitted to trading on AIM around 3 March 2026, increasing the company’s issued share capital to 14,211,319,467 ordinary shares and slightly diluting existing shareholders while settling trade payables through equity rather than cash.
The enlarged share capital provides an updated base for calculating voting rights and regulatory disclosure thresholds under UK rules. Handling the settlement via equity issuance may support Premier’s cash preservation as it advances its Zimbabwe-focused mining projects, but it also continues the company’s pattern of using share issuance as a financing and settlement tool, with implications for shareholder dilution and market perception.

Premier African Minerals has called its 2026 annual general meeting for 4 March in South Africa and is circulating its notice, proxy materials and explanatory notes to shareholders, who are encouraged to vote either in person or via proxy, with remote access provided through a webinar. The AGM will ask investors to reappoint director Godfrey T. Manhambara and approve disapplication of pre-emption rights over up to 35 billion new shares, a move tied to funding needs as the company pushes to stabilise operations and restore value at its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project.
Operationally, Premier is prioritising installation and commissioning of a new Xinhai-designed spodumene flotation circuit at Zulu to deliver consistent, saleable concentrate and meet conditions of an amended offtake and prepayment deal with Canmax Technologies. The company has contracted Thriving Engineering for the flotation plant, targets commissioning and production in the second quarter of 2026, and has outlined near-term funding needs of about US$13.4 million to cover plant completion, suppliers, staff and legacy payables, stating that any new share issuance will be used carefully while alternative, less dilutive financing options are considered.

Premier African Minerals has signed a contract with Xinhai subsidiary Thriving Engineering to supply, install and commission a spodumene flotation plant at its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe, targeting a 15–20 tonnes per hour flotation circuit. The deal is structured with performance guarantees and staged payments tied to concentrate grade, recoveries and throughput, aligning contractor incentives with Premier’s drive to stabilise and optimise processing performance, with commissioning and optimisation expected in the second quarter of 2026.
All civil works and concrete foundations needed for the flotation upgrade have been completed, enabling rapid installation once equipment is delivered within the agreed 15-day window. By embedding performance-related provisions and aiming to complete the project within the previously announced long stop date, Premier is seeking to strengthen operational reliability at Zulu and enhance its position in the lithium value chain, which is critical for stakeholders exposed to the project’s ramp-up and production profile.

Canmax Technologies has converted £177,329 of accrued interest under its offtake and prepayment agreement into 591,096,745 Premier shares at 0.03 pence, boosting Premier’s issued capital to 13.9 billion shares with admission to AIM expected on 11 February 2026. The stock-for-interest move strengthens Premier’s balance sheet and underscores the strategic alignment with its key offtake partner, potentially enhancing project funding certainty while diluting existing shareholders’ stakes.

Premier African Minerals has raised £1 million via a direct share subscription at 0.03 pence per share to fund its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe, alongside issuing a further £0.14 million in shares to settle supplier invoices and accrued but unpaid salaries of former directors and consultants. The capital will be used primarily to complete the purchase and installation of a 15–20 tonnes-per-hour flotation plant from Xinhai to improve Zulu’s grades and recoveries, support operating expenses and creditor management at the project, and bolster general working capital, with the 3.83 billion new shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and bringing the company’s issued share capital to approximately 13.3 billion shares, highlighting both the company’s reliance on equity funding and its push to move Zulu towards commercial production.

Premier African Minerals has reached a mutual release and settlement agreement with contractor J R Goddard Contracting over a US$2.4 million claim tied to its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe, averting immediate enforcement action against the company’s movable property. The liability will be settled via an initial US$400,000 payment by 30 January 2026 and subsequent monthly instalments through November 2026, with JRG suspending enforcement as long as Premier complies with the schedule, a move the board says gives greater certainty for ongoing funding and operational plans at Zulu. In parallel, the company is prioritising the strengthening of its board and is seeking technically focused directors with relevant market experience to support the next phase of development at the lithium project, signalling a push to enhance governance and technical oversight as it advances its key asset.

Premier African Minerals has agreed with its offtake partner Canmax Technologies to extend the long stop date on their existing offtake and prepayment agreement for the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project, pushing it from 31 December 2025 to the earlier of 30 June 2026 or the date a new reputable buyer acceptable to Canmax signs a binding deal to settle or manage Canmax’s prepayment exposure. While the economic terms of the agreement remain unchanged, Premier has accepted tighter conditions, including a requirement to maintain current office bearers at both group and project level without Canmax’s prior written consent and to keep an existing security package fully in force, with Canmax retaining the right to enforce all its contractual powers if conditions are breached, underscoring both Canmax’s continued support and the heightened operational and governance discipline now imposed on Premier around the Zulu project.
