Premier African Minerals Limited announced a positive exploration update from its RHA Tungsten Project, located in the prospective Kamativi Tin Belt in north-west Zimbabwe. The company believes the Project has the potential to be developed into a low capital and operating cost tungsten mine in the near term. 1,302m five hole diamond drilling (DD) programme undertaken at RHA, sampling confirmed significant tungsten oxide (WO3) values ­ best results include: DD003: Weighted average 0.46% WO3 over 15m, DD004: Weighted average 0.65% WO3 over 6m, DD006: Weighted average 1.33% WO33 over 3m. Drilling has uncovered two, potentially three, previously unknown, well mineralised quartz veins lying in the hanging wall of the existing lode system. Further detailed examination and sampling of the DD drill core has been completed with 198 samples taken targeting individual samples and zones > 0.15% (WO3) ­ results due to first quarter of 2013. Initial detailed geological logging has revealed tungsten mineralisation in the form of very coarse wolframite crystals, hosted within narrow quartz veins between 5cm and 10cm. Further low-cost surface trenching and sampling will be undertaken in the first quarter 2013 to confirm the surface location and extent of the hanging wall lodes. SAMREC compliant resource on target for the first half of 2013. 3D Datamine modeling underway - completed model will be used as the basis for a concept mine technical and economic study targeted to commence end of first quarter of 2013.

Premier African Minerals Limited confirmed the two year renewal of the company's three exploration permits for the multi-commodity Southern Togo Project, covering 173.99 sq. km located east-north-east of the Société Nouvelle des Phosphates du Togo (`SNPT') phosphate open pit operations at SNPT's Dagbati mine.
