Issue of Equity

Premier African Minerals Limited, the AIM-traded, multi-commodity mining and resource development company focused on Southern and Western Africa, is pleased to announce that it has received a direct subscription for £112,500 from a single subscriber of new shares. The funds will be utilised to assist in the ongoing underground mining development and working capital requirements at the RHA Tungsten Project ("RHA") in Zimbabwe, of which Premier is the operator and holds a 49% interest, and for general working capital.

The Company has today issued, conditional on admission, 30,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Subscription Shares") at a subscription price of 0.375 pence per Subscription Share (the "Subscription"). The Subscription Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares. Application will be made for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 16 December 2015. 

Securities now in issue   

Following the issue of these Subscription Shares, the Company's issued share capital consists of 1,026,574,863 ordinary shares, with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
