Premier African Minerals Limited (LON:PREM) has identified a wide and well mineralised central zone within its Zulu lithium deposit in Zinbabwe
Exploration efforts will now be focused on building data on this zone into a maiden resource statement.
Recent assay results from a third hole at the site, ZDD-13, included Li2O grades of up to 2.76% over 1.38 metre widths and more than 1% over a continuous 34.93m from a depth of 107.52m.
Premier added that it has received expression of interest in participation and/or acquisition in the project and talks on moving this forward are also a priority.
George Roach, Premier's chief executive, said: "We are expecting results from the metallurgical test-work undertaken by international process specialists, Dorfner
Anzaplan, while also focusing on the maiden resource statement and how best to understand the true scale of this world class deposit.
“At same time, we will continue to consider monetization of all or part of this important asset."
