Result of Placing

Launch of Retail Offer

 

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that following the accelerated bookbuild which was announced on 16
January 2025, the Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £1.2
million through the Placing of 4,336,999,996 new Ordinary Shares at a price of
0.0275 pence (the "Issue Price") per share.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement (this "Announcement") have the
meanings given to them in the launch announcement, unless the context provides
otherwise.

Retail Offer

As part of the Fundraising the Company is launching a separate retail offer to
raise the balance of the Fundraising not raised in the Placing to raise gross
proceeds of up to £2.3 million at the Issue Price (the "Retail Offer"). The
Board values its retail shareholder base, which have continued to support the
Company alongside various institutional investors. Given the strong support of
our retail shareholders, the Company believes that it is appropriate to
provide its retail shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Retail
Offer.

A separate announcement will be made in due course regarding the Retail Offer
and its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the
Placing. The results of the Retail Offer are expected to be announced on 21
January 2025.

The Placing is conditional on, inter alia, (i) the Placing Agreement becoming
unconditional in all respects in relation to the Placing and not having been
terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the Retail Offer and (iii)
Admission (as defined below).  The Retail Offer is conditional on the
Placing. Completion of each of the Placing and Retail Offer is
inter-conditional upon, inter alia, the gross proceeds of the Fundraising,
taken together with the value of liabilities that creditors agree to settle by
accepting new shares ("Settlement Shares"), on the same terms as to price as
the Placing, being not materially less than £3.5 million. Accordingly, should
the gross proceeds of the Fundraising, together the value of Settlement Shares
issued at the Issue Price, be materially less than £3.5 million, the Placing
and Retail Offer will not proceed.

Admission

Application will be made for the admission of the Placing Shares to trading on
the AIM market of London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). It is ‎expected
that such Admission will take place at or around 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 23
January 2025.
