| ABSTRACT: | Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its drilling programme at the RHA Tungsten Mine ("RHA") in Zimbabwe in which Premier has a 49% interest and is the operator. As announced on 14 September the Company is drilling up to 2,750 metres to expand as well as to increase the Resources at RHA with the view to resume mining activities. The preliminary analytical results set out in this announcement from underground drilling at RHA have been returned from the Company's own on-site analysis and samples are being submitted to SGS South Africa and the results of this analysis will be released in due course. George Roach, Premier's CEO, commented: "The preliminary internal assay results from RHADD34 indicate multiple mineralised load structures with wolframite at commercial grades and visible copper mineralisation in the form of chalcopyrite co-existent in the same ore bodies as the wolframite. Wolframite concentrates previously produced at RHA have always contained copper, but no attempt was made to separately recover any copper, and whilst the production of any potential by- product is speculative at this time, the visibly pervasive presence needs a fuller investigation, and independent assay. This is likely to include floatation tests to understand what recoveries could be expected from these copper co-existent intersections. Whilst it is still too early to take a decision on whether to extend the underground operations at RHA through a new decline shaft or deepening of the current vertical shaft, projected mineralisation at depth is confirmed. Whilst drilling in the open pit has not been completed, the results obtained so far from the western end of the pit do not support a continuation of mining with the current plant configuration. The results did however indicate that mineralisation is increasing in an easterly direction and it is likely that the pit may be extended at a time in the future if a decline shaft is constructed. Any significant extension to the open pit in an easterly direction will interfere with the existing vertical shaft." | |
