14

PREMIER African Minerals (Premier) says it sees promising developments in the tantalum market and aims to strategically position itself to benefit from them.
“Our primary objective remains producing high-grade spodumene for premium pricing,” Premier chief executive George Roach explains.
“However, the tantalum reserves present a lucrative opportunity we cannot ignore.”
The mining and natural resource development company’s Zulu project boasts significant reserves, with 170 000 tonnes of lithium and over 1 000 tonnes of tantalum, underscoring the standalone potential of the Zulu project and its lithium sulphate plant.
