RHA Direct Finance Update

Premier African Minerals Limited, the AIM-traded, multi-commodity mining and resource development company focused on Southern and Western Africa, is pleased to advise that direct finance to RHA Tungsten Mine ("RHA"), in respect of which the Company is the operator and holds a 49% interest, has been offered by a local Zimbabwe based banking institution.

As part of the continuing preparations in respect of underground ore processing, RHA has increased its working capital facilities with a US$200,000 general credit facility from a local bank, which may be utilised for payment of direct operating expenses associated with the production of wolframite concentrates. The facility bears interest at the bank's costs of funds plus a margin of 8.75% and is guaranteed by Premier. The on-demand facility is for an initial term until 31 October 2016.

Commenting, George Roach, CEO and Chairman, said: "It is most encouraging that a local banking institution has a level of confidence in RHA such that they are prepared to extend a facility for normal working capital requirements linked to shipment of concentrates. Historically, Premier has met 100% of all expenses incurred by RHA."
