Name of the Project
Zulu lithium/tantalum project pilot plant.

Location
Fort Rixon, Zimbabwe.

Project Owner/s
Premier African Minerals.

Project Description
The proposed pilot plant at Premier’s Zulu project has a nameplate throughput of up to 190 t/h; however, it is planned to run at a more conservative 140 t/h at inception.

The pilot plant will use state-of-the-art, sensor-based ore-sorting technologies that will facilitate the separation of run-of-mine material into components and, in so doing, likely increase available capacity in the flotation recovery circuits, where lithium minerals are recovered.

Ultimate production and recoveries are a factor of many variables, and the pilot plant is likely to assist in dealing with these variables, owing to the inherent flexibility of using multiple ore sorters.

Stockpiles of tantalum-, petalite- and mica-/lepidolite-rich material will facilitate further testwork and flowsheet development to ensure that this material is truly inventory for later profitable recovery.

Latest Developments
Premier African Minerals says Canmax Technologies has received Chinese regulatory approval for its subscription under which Premier has raised a further £5-million before expenses for the ongoing Zulu lithium and tantalum project optimisation.

The subscription was arranged within the company’s existing share authorities and the 1.4-billion new ordinary shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares.

Application has been made for the subscription shares to be admitted to trading on Aim and admission is now expected to take place on or around September 15.

Following the issue of the subscription shares, the company’s issued share capital will comprise 25.4-billion ordinary shares, with voting rights.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
JR Goddard Contracting (mining contractor); and Stark International Projects (design, procurement, installation and commissioning contractor).
