Director Loan

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") announces that the Company has entered into a Loan Facility Agreement with George Roach ("Lender"), for up to GBP1.7 million.

Terms of the Loan

The Company has entered into an unsecured GBP1.7 million Loan Facility Agreement with George Roach on 20 July 2023 ("Loan"). Premier can request a draw down of the Loan in two separate requests with the first being for GBP1 million and the second request being the remaining balance of the Loan (collectively the "Utilisation Request"). Each Utilisation Request will be repayable on the date falling 6 calendar months after the Utilisation Request ("Repayment Date").

Upon receipt of a Utilisation Request, the Lender will sell such number of their holding of Premier ordinary shares ("Shares") under orderly market conditions until such time as the amount of the Utilisation Request has been realised ("Sale Shares"). The Lender will inform the Company of the average selling price of Sale Shares sold by the Lender to fund the Utilisation Request, including all related broker fees incurred during the selling of the Sale Shares ("Floor Price").

The Loan is repayable in new Shares. Premier shall repay each Utilisation Request under the Loan in full on the Repayment Date applicable to such Utilisation Request by issuing to the Lender such number of new Shares ("Settlement Shares") as is equal to the amount of the Loan due on the Repayment Date divided by the Floor Price applicable to the Sale Shares which were sold by the Lender to fund the Utilisation Request.

If Premier is unable for any reason to issue the Settlement Shares by whatever means, repayment of the Loan may be made in cash in an amount which is equal to amount of the Loan plus compounded accrued interest at 8% per annum from the date of the Utilisation Request. No arrangement or other fees are payable under the Loan.

The Loan will be used for general working capital purposes including funding ongoing operational expenses at Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project.
