Premier Gold Resources plc
("Premier Gold" or the "Company")
Re-registration of Cholokkaindy Licence Approved
Premier Gold (AIM: PGR), the Central Asia-focused gold exploration and development company operating in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to announce that the State Agency for Geology and Mineral Resources, the controlling mining authority in the Kyrgyz Republic, has approved the Company's application to re-register the Cholokkaindy licence (the "Licence") to the Company's subsidiary Premier Asia Resources LLC ("PAR").
The Licence was previously registered to Alji LLC, a subsidiary of PAR. The re-registration therefore removes a layer from the organisational structure and simplifies the corporate reporting procedure.
There is no change to the Company's interest in the Licence (80%), or to the terms of the Licence which remains valid until 31 December 2017, as a result of this re-registration.
There remains a lithium licence registered to Alji LLC (acquired as part of the acquisition of Central Asia Resources in March 2012). The lithium project has always been considered by the Company to be non-core and will be returned, along with Alji, to its previous holder.
