Premier African Minerals Limited 


Issue of Equity and Corporate Update
 

Premier African Minerals Limited ("Premier" or the "Company") announces that the Company has today issued 1,666,666,667 new ordinary shares at an issue price of 0.012 pence per share in settlement of accrued but unpaid interest amounting to £200,000 due on the 2023 loan advance made by George Roach to the Company ("Settlement Shares"). The Settlement Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares. Application will be made for the Settlement Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 28 July 2025. The issue price of the Settlement Shares has been set at the same issue price as the last market-based subscription announced on 11 June 2025.

 

Following the issue of the Settlement Shares, which represent 2.1% of the current issued share capital, George Roach will be interested in aggregate in 2,913,180,874 Shares, representing 3.8% of the issued share capital. There have been no other issue of Shares or rights over Shares to George Roach in the prior 12-month period.

 

As set out in the published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, the advance made by George Roach to the Company in 2023 ("Loan"), which had a first repayment due from January 2024 ("Repayment Date") is still outstanding and due on demand. In accordance with the terms of the Loan (as previously amended), interest was waived unless there was an event of default and accordingly accrued interest is due which, as at 30 June 2025, amounted to £207,741.77. George Roach has agreed not to seek any repayment of the Loan until the earlier of either 21 June 2026, or an agreement from a reputable buyer acceptable to Canmax Technologies Co., Ltd ("Canmax") that they will settle and/or manage the outstanding prepayment amount plus interest owed to Canmax ("Extension"). This Extension is conditional on there being no further default under the Loan.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

Following the issue of the Settlement Shares, the Company's issued share capital consists of 77,674,775,980 Ordinary Shares, with voting rights.

 

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.
