Shares in Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) surged 17% to 0.021p after the company announced significant progress in the installation of a new flotation plant at its Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project in Zimbabwe.
The company reported that work on the Xinhai Flotation Plant, supplied by Chinese processing equipment specialist Xinhai Technology Processing, is gathering pace. According to the update, on-site fabrication of overflow launders, walkways, and interconnecting pipework between flotation cells is well underway.
Further details from the company highlight the assembly of large-diameter air supply piping, a critical component of the flotation circuit. The progress signals a key step in de-risking the project's development phase.
This advancement is crucial for Premier African Minerals as it brings the Zulu project closer to commencing production and generating revenue. The operational update suggests the company is on track to become a key player in the lithium supply chain, with the potential to attract further investor interest and a possible re-rating of the stock as it transitions from developer to producer.
