Aim-listed Premier Africa Minerals has advised that first production at the Zulu lithium and tantalum project, in Zimbabwe, is behind schedule; however, the company is confident that the issues causing delays will be resolved in coming days.

The first issue relates to an outstanding final approval from a Zimbabwean authority, which is working closely with the project’s team to provide approval as soon as possible.

The second issue causing a delay relates to delivery of one outstanding reagent.

The reagent was short-ordered owing to an error on the part of the plant supplier. While the reagent is freely available, it is hard to come by in Africa and complications related to airfreight of a chemical substance have resulted in a delay.

Premier explains it needs the reagent to improve the grade of spodumene concentrate produced.
