The mine also has an exploration target of 30 million tonnes (Mt) to 50Mt grading 23%-27% of manganese.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Premier’s interest in MNH will increase to 12%.

By GlobalDataPremier African Minerals chief executive George Roach said: “This is another small step on the way to becoming independently cash generative, which will assist in our plans for the restarting of production at RHA Tungsten and in due course, the long-awaited exploration and development of Zulu Lithium.
“MNH is one of very few manganese producers able to lay claim to remain cash positive and profitable through the recent fall in manganese prices, and with the recent reversal and more positive outlook for manganese, our association with MNH bodes well for the future.”
In July last year, Premier African Minerals and Cambrian agreed to provide a $1.35m loan with an annual interest of 10% to MNH.
