COST SAVING MINERAL EXPLORATION

Wireline Africa (PTY) Ltd/Limitada (formally Weatherford UK RSA branch/ WSRL) are the pioneers of mineral and mining borehole in-situ measurement (borehole geophysics), we have 45 years of experience in all resource and geotechnical type investigations from the structural logging used for placement of the Gautrain support pylons in South Africa, to all the major mining companies’ shaft-sinking and/or resource estimation applications.

MINERAL LOGGING

We operate the newest and largest fleet of logging units available to the mineral exploration industry. All logging units are equipped with full roll-over protection, cargo barriers, warning beacons, high visibility markings and other safety features, and we are able to quickly and efficiently modify our units to meet any mine specific safety requirements.

Wireline Africa vehicles are fitted with Vehicle Monitoring Systems linked to GPS and the mobile phone network. This allows vehicles to be constantly monitored and adds an additional level of safety and security.

FIRE SUPPRESSION

Wireline Africa Fire Suppression has recently become the leading distributor and installer for the i-Cat fire suppression systems.

I-Cat has developed state of the art fire suppression and fire fighting technology that is taking the world by storm and is being endorsed by insurance companies not only for its lifesaving technology but financial saving technology as well. The system is designed to decrease down time and maintenance costs and are designed to be fully operational within minutes after activation.

Fire Suppression Objectives: Saves Lives • Reduces Cost • Reduces Down - time • Vehicle Operator Protection • Effective fire detection • Effective fire suppression • Equipment protection • Environmentally friendly • Easy installation and operation

As Chairman of the 2019 African Mining Summit (AMS2019) held in Gaborone 24-25 September, I would like to thank all for attending and in particular for the various Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Mines, senior representation from the African Union, captains of industry, suppliers and of course our vitally important sponsors.

AMS2019 was attended by delegates from over fourteen African countries and was characterised by high quality presentations and panel discussions, focused business matchmaking and deep networking opportunities. In fact, this is exactly what makes AMS2019 so unique. Where else do you get the opportunity to have substantive discussions with mining industry leaders (both mining companies and their suppliers) as well as senior government representatives.

@GRVMININGSUMMIT | #AMS2019

FOREWORD

The backdrop to the conference was continued global instability, which has percolated through to a rising gold price and talk of a start of an uptick in the mineral commodity cycle, which will filter through to all our mining commodities. Whilst this is good for the mining industry, the 2018 Fraser Institute study rated Africa as the second least attractive continent for investment. Thus, there is much to be done for Africa to take its rightful place.

This very subject was addressed by a strong ministerial panel which clearly stated that Africa was open for business; it has a wealth of mineral sources and the African Union is working hard to harmonise various trade and other important treaties so Africa can compete on the same, if not higher level than other trade blocks, such as the European Union, etc.

In the various discussions about what can be specifically done to attract investment and make Africa a model investment destination, several ideas were debated. From a government perspective, ideas such as waiving royalties (and replacing with a waterfall tax regime), sovereign wealth fund for investing in start-up exploration and mining companies, tax incentives following the role model of the Canadian flow through share scheme and finally perhaps considering separate legislation for juniors from majors as juniors require a more entrepreneurial environment and are the real future engines of growth. Companies need to look at new methods of funding, such as using crowdfunding and blockchain and of course, need to embrace the fourth Industrial Revolution particularly around digitisation and this should all be encompassed in the spirit of innovation.

3

However, none of this can be achieved without strong governance and a true partnership between government, the mining industry, suppliers, employees and the communities in which they live. And here we have perhaps the greatest challenge of all, that of safely and sustainably reducing operating and capital costs whilst providing meaningful jobs, particularly for the youth.

JAMES AH CAMPBELL Managing Director | Botswana Diamonds plc

WWW.GRVGLOBAL.COM

Finally, I would like to thank GRV Global for once again improving on the 2018 AMS and for providing a unique event where mining industry leaders can meet, debate important issues and once the conference has been concluded, to continue with the networks they created and refreshed, and add more value to their respective organisations. I look forward to welcoming you back to an even better AMS2020.

The AMS2018 event was described by our Patron, the African Union Commission (AUC), as an ‘Institution’ growing from strength to strength. Supported by the AUC, the AMS is missioned to generate alignment and understanding between member state Ministers and ministries of Mines and Energy with the private sector investment community, and to join these key stakeholders in Africa to engage formally in developing and shaping exploitation of Africa’s continental & coastal natural resources and related industrial profile.

@GRVMININGSUMMIT | #AMS2019

WELCOME

The AMS event stands out as the only pan-African platform for Policy debate and for mobilising the private sector within the Africa Mining Vision (AMV) as a ‘Blueprint for Structural Transfer of African Economies’; and that the Private Sector Compact (PSC) is under execution as a tool to facilitate dialogue to reduce and share risk created within the African Minerals Governance Framework (AMGF).

Founded then on these initiatives, the mining & minerals development sector in Africa should continue to benefit significantly from market commodity positioning as we move in to 2019 and beyond. The clear investment trend in hard assets that are physical and tradeable, including inter-alia infrastructure and energy related commodities, like Copper and Zinc, both of which are already in or close to supply/ demand deficit, Battery Metals (Cobalt, Nickel, Vanadium, Lithium & Manganese) and/or the Junior Mining Equities that hold such assets or the technologies to enhance them.

This therefore continues to offer investors and all potential beneficial stakeholders on the continent strong fundamentals in the Mining and Energy business sector and in the progressive project developments that are to be found only in Africa. Accordingly, I am glad to hear the attendance at AMS2019 was larger than ever with participation from the top leaders of Mining Investment and Operator companies on the continent.

AMS2019: POST-EVENT REPORT

PRE-EVENT: MONDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER

On Monday 23rd September 2019, AMS2019 delegates were welcomed to the afternoon pre-registration where they could collect

their welcome pack and access pass, whilst exhibitors setup their exhibition booths in the Travelodge Conference Centre. Later that day, all were welcomed to the Evening Networking Reception at the Pool Bar to break the ice among new participants and provide an opportunity for returning delegates to become reacquainted over refreshments and canapes ahead of the main event.

DAY ONE TUESDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER

AMS2019 began with a brief Networking Registration of tea and coffee before the Opening Ceremony commenced with GRV Global’s CEO, Andrew Dowell. Andrew firstly extended his gratitude to H.E. Amb. Albert Muchanga, AU Commissioner of Trade & Industry, for his help with the preparation of the Summit, Honourable Minister Eric Morale for his team’s valuable support, and all attending delegates for their commitment and efforts to bring the Africa Mining Vision to fruition. Before handing over to

GRV Global returned to Gaborone, the home of the Africa Mining Summit, for its 5th edition. Taking place on 24th – 25th September 2019, where delegates were once again greeted with the warmth of the Botswanan hospitality, at the Travelodge Hotel. The team had the pleasure of welcoming over 250 Government representatives, the African Union, mine oweners, industry specialists and suppliers for a busy two days of high-level plenary sessions, afternoon matchmaking meetings between public and private sector entities and a range of networking functions, seeking to achieve the common goal of promoting long-term development, sustainability and investment across the region.

the esteemed Conference Chair James Campbell, Managing Director of Botswana Diamonds plc, Andrew gave reference to the sincerely missed Alan Clegg, Non-Executive Chairman, Co-Founder & Director of Shumba Energy, whom was unable to join GRV and take up his Chairmanship on this occasion but hopes to return next year.

Concluding his opening remarks, Andrew provided a brief outline of the aims of the Africa Mining Summit, to generate alignment and understanding between member state Ministers and ministries of Mines with the private sector, build an investment community and join those key stakeholders to develop, and consciously and ethically capitalise on Africa’s continental & coastal natural resources. James opened his speech with elation at the diverse representation from all corners of the continent, with 14 country ministries represented, before referencing some of the key topics that would be later expounded in the discussion sessions, including: the minerals cycle, investment attractiveness and junior mining. Opening remarks ended with some encouraging words for delegates to continue contributing to the efforts for Africa to claim its place as the pre-eminent mining and exploration continent.

The Welcoming Address was brought by Hussien Hassan, Ag. Director for Trade & Industry of the African Union Commission (AUC). Hussein started his Welcome by commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the Africa Mining Vision and noted the many achievements as we look ahead to the next 5 years. In his speech, Hussein highlighted that mineral endowment is the key driver for structural transformation as new allies are formed and new uses are found for what is considered low value minerals. Considering, the achievements of the sector, it remained for Africa to be more assertive within the industry to fully capitalise from the benefits.

The Opening Address came from Hon. Eric Mothibi Molale, Minister of Botswana’s Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology & Energy Security. Speaking freely and from the heart, Hon. Molale referenced a history of mineral exploitation that has failed to benefit the continent’s development. To remedy this, he proposed that minerals were extracted under the full consensus of communities, using Botswana as a prime example of a country that rules by consensus and gained the unbridled support

of its citizens as minerals are invested into the state. Lastly, Hon. Molale, stated that mineral rich economies should look beyond dependence on minerals but should seek to invest in education, so countries are able to move from a resource based economy to a ‘knowledge rich’ economy – learning to not just exploit but benefit from these resources and avoid the resource curse.

The first panel discussion of the day commenced with Session 1: The Africa Mining Vision - The Next Five Years to 2024! Chaired by James Campbell, Managing Director of Botswana Diamonds plc, the session began by reflecting on some of the achievements of the Africa Mining Vision since its inception 10 years ago. The highlevel panellists then delved into analysis of how to best utilise the extracted minerals to support national, social and economic development.

In response, building a network of private and intracontinental partnerships was at the heart of the solution, to encourage intracontinental trade and capitalise on the relative comparative SESSION 1: SPEAKER QUOTES HON. ERIC MOTHIBI MOLALE, MINISTER, BOTSWANA MINISTRY OF MINERAL RESOURCES, GREEN TECHNOLOGY & ENERGY SECURITY: For Botswana to climb up the

list as one of the most attractive mining destinations, we need to persevere and listen to our customers, and guarantee peace and security of investment.

HUSSIEN HASSAN, AG. DIRECTOR FOR TRADE & INDUSTRY, AFRICAN UNION COMMISSION (AUC): Greater knowledge of the continent’s

mineral endowment are turning traditional agricultural societies to mining economies overnight.

HON. NANA AYIAH, DEPUTY MINISTER, GHANA MINISTRY OF LANDS & NATURAL RESOURCES: Transparency and fair treatment

let investors know we are open for business.

HON. PETER LOKERIS, MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINERALS DEVELOPMENT,UGANDA MINISTRY OF ENERGY & MINERAL DEVELOPMENT: Regulations and frameworks

must be adjusted to be palatable to investors.

HON. POLITE KAMBAMURA, GOVERNMENT MINISTER, ZIMBABWE MINISTRY OF MINES & MINING DEVELOPMENT: With all Corporate

Social Responsibility initiatives, the people should always be at the forefront.

The first Keynote Address for AMS2019 came from Boubacar Bocoum, Lead Mining Specialist of the World Bank Group (WBG) whom focused on Key Drivers for a Compliant Mineral Rent Collection Administration. Boubacar began his presentation alluding to Africa’s great mineral endowment, quoting that ‘26 to 32 African countries are classified resources rich or to be rich’ which dramatically contrasted with the estimate that ‘by 2030, 68% of the world’s poor will be found in Sub-Saharan African resourcerich economies’. To address this bleak prediction, he provided 5 points to focus on for success in the industry: Policies, Systems and processes, Institutional coordination & cooperation, Capacities, Communication.

Refreshed from a quick Networking Tea and Coffee Break, once again generously Sponsored

by Orezone Drilling who offered hats and other giveaways throughout, delegates returned to the ballroom for Session 2: Mining & Finance - Charting a New Way Forward for the African Mining Sector, which was Chaired by James Campbell whom prefaced the session with a few opening questions on junior mining, funding pre-feasibility projects and government incentives. Born from the discussion was the consensus that governments should rethink their strategy of the nationalisation of mines, as it is not imperative that nationalisation equates to government acquisition, but governments

SESSION 2: SPEAKER QUOTES HON. POLITE KAMBAMURA, DEPUTY MINISTER, ZIMBABWE MINISTRY OF MINES & MINING: To attract investors for exploration,

governments must negotiate in a way that will incentivise exploration, for example taxes exemptions for a period.

DR. MIKE SEEGER, DIRECTOR, MX MINING CAPITAL ADVISORS CC: Africa mining

problems require a bespoke set of mining finance solutions, tailored to each project; there is no ‘one size fits all’.

OLEBOGENG TEFO SENTSHO, CEO, SIMBA MGODI MINING INCUBATION FUND:

advantages. It was further noted that as African governments become increasingly assertive in developing long-term visions for mineral resources, the market for investment becomes more attractive. Adaptations to policy and governance thus allows countries to move up the value chain and increase intersectoral linkages between the minerals and non-mineral sector.

Until we develop an appropriate risk appetite for the funding of our own mineral development, sustainable mining finance will remain elusive.

could stand to invest in the development of the mines. Once again, Botswana served as the archetype of a government that has harnessed the private sector and created a successful model with De Beers that satisfies community and shareholder interest. The discussion then focused on the high-risk nature of funding prefeasibility projects, due to the uncertainty of the projects value when commencing. In light of this, it was suggested that government bonds could be a tool to finance mining projects by leveraging its own balance sheet, with reference to a pilot project in Japan. Another alternative was to crowdfund projects to spread the risk so that invested individuals do not bear the full brunt of a loss but also, junior mines are able to attract a lot of invest in a short time.

The final plenary discussion of day one, Session 3: Energy, was Chaired by Matthews Bagopi, Business Development Manager of Morupule Coal Mine. Considering the environmental implications and the rise of renewable and green energy, the session focused on one of the more controversial topics, Coal. Despite coal’s reputation as a ‘dirty’ energy source, it is understood that for the foreseeable future, it will remain the main power provider. The focus then shifted to Botswana’s potential comparative advantage in the coal industry, which neatly fed into the conversation of diversifying their economy. Although Botswana’s renowned for its diamonds, the potential to also harness solar

energy was cautiously raised as integrating renewable energies into current energy systems remains a challenge, particularly in times of minimal sunshine or having the means of storing energy during rainier seasons.

After an informative morning session, it was time for a Networking Lunch Break, ahead of the much-anticipated afternoon Matchmaking Meetings with AMS2019’s delegation of officials. In the weeks leading up to the event, delegates were able to identify their preferred matchmaking meetings through GRV Global’s secure scheduling website. Pre-event, meeting schedules were finalised and emailed to all participants in order to maximise potential outcomes of GRV Global’s personable format of 15-minute matchmaking meetings. Tuesday afternoon featured hundreds of 1-2-1 meetings with many meeting tables taking back-toback meetings throughout. Participants were quick to identify their potential value and praised their efficiency and the event’s yearly participant growth.

To roundoff day one of AMS2019, participants were able to experience a taste of Botswana.

Generously Sponsored by Debswana, participants were invited to join them for a Cultural Dinner at the Mokolodi Nature Reserve. Surrounded by the natural beauty at Mokolodi’s Worlds View, guests were greeted by a vibrant dance group before settling down for a relaxing evening of highquality local food and refreshments with new acquaintances.

DAY TWO: WEDNESDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER

Day two of the 2019 Africa Mining Summit began with a Networking Tea and Coffee Break where delegates reflected on the night’s enjoyable dinner, before heading in for the Conference Chair’s welcoming remarks. James Campbell, Managing Director of Botswana Diamonds plc welcomed everyone once again before providing a quick overview of the previous day’s stand-out discussion points, and giving an outline of the sessions to come – with all said, it was time for the first Keynote Address of the day.

Charles Siwawa, CEO of Botswana Chamber of Mines gave a Keynote Address entitled ‘Botswana: A Role Model for Junior Mining’.

Charles began by listing the advantages of junior mines that have reduced overhead costs and can focus on the technical portion of the mining mineral value chain. However, he further noted that junior miners face the same challenges as large corporates, such as fluctuation in the price of commodities, increasing operation costs etc. Therefore, it is essential they remain at the bottom of the cost curve which offers some protection against market forces and financial institutions and align themselves with mining companies, in particular at the foundation stages of the value chain. In conclusion, Charles asserted that there was sufficient space within the mining industry for junior mining companies to operate sustainably within the continent.

The first panel session of the day, Session 5: Junior Mining, Chaired by James Campbell, tackled issues of geographical mapping, exploration funding and government participation. The session began with each panellist reflecting on the importance of

The audience were treated to a further Keynote Address, taken by the esteemed Prof. Frederick Cawood, Director of the Wits Mining Institute from the University of the Witwatersrand. Prof.

Cawood spoke on AMV-African Mining for Benefit, Innovation & Technology – 21st Century Mining & Future Trends - Mining 4.0 and the Future of Work in Mining. He observed the intrinsic link between the future of mining and the future of energy and subsequently the need to look for new minerals – with this in mind, he further alluded to the importance of the education system remaining responsive to the changing skillset in the mining industry with deeper integration of technology.

geophysics, in aiding the mining industry.

Notably, the data extrapolated from the geological survey has provided a wealth of information that has made it easier to make informed decisions.

However, there is also a financial implication attached to conducting these surveys, which has resulted in slow progress for some countries.

Moving on to the main subject of junior mining, it was described as the ‘engine of growth in the mining industry’ which undertakes all risk and innovation – although still plagued by issues of

funding and support. The lack of government support and participation serves as an obstacle for investment, as investors lack the confidence needed for financial backing and therefore the panellists stressed the need for African governments to make more of an effort to support junior miners and perhaps implement schemes such as a sovereign wealth fund, for initial investment and will create value for the company.

Chaired by Allan Bennett, CEO of Wireline Africa whom expertly steered Session 6: Innovation.

Cloud-based technology has revolutionised every industry and mining has been no exception. The ability to upload data and instantaneously share this information among teams has proved to be an invaluable innovation. The collated information drives key decisions to influence project changes, creating a collaborative environment.

Furthermore, the integration of technology has eased the maintenance process as information can be directly shared when parts are needed to be replaced. Crucially, this reduces downtime and allows for machines to be utilised for a longer period and subsequently reduces overhead costs.

However, it is necessary to remain mindful of how to best utilise the volume of data accumulated in order to best progress a project.

Realtime information goes a long way in assisting with the client – instead of a guy on site, a drone records the data and materials are supplied accordingly.

The next Keynote to take the stage was Dr. Gavin Andersson, Director of Andersson Afrika (Pty) Ltd whom addressed the audience on the topic of ‘Unbounded Governance? Taking Sustainability Seriously…’. Gavin’s presentation came in three parts as he looked at prominent moments within the mining industry. The Harry Oppenheimer and Seretse Khama meeting that was the genesis of the Botswana and De Beers partnership, serves as a blueprint for others to develop their country through minerals and mining. Case study two, Marikana Massacre that resulted in the deaths of striking miners due to the lack of employment opportunities and adequate accommodation, served as a key example of mining communities that fail to benefit from the industry and finally

Upon their return to the Travelodge Conference Centre from a Networking Lunch Break, delegates were treated to the final Keynote Address for AMS2019, taken by Lira Ralebese, Deputy Principal Secretary of Lesotho Ministry of Mining whom gave a short presentation entitled ‘From Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to More Emphasis on Corporate Social Investment (CSI)’. Lira noted the error in regarding CSI as a subcomponent of CSR as it is a main element in informing the direction of contracts entered into by governments and mining companies. Focusing on Lesotho, Lira provided a breakdown of the tangible benefits in implementing a sustainable CSI strategy; Although the provision of jobs is often highlighted, this promise is not sustainable due to the finite nature of mining. Therefore, the Lesotho government have made the deliberate effort to create a harmonious exchange between communities and mines through their contract management which has brought about over 1000 trained farmers in livestock, agribusiness management, wool shearing and classing with the hope that this initiative continues when the mine closes. Similarly, not only does investing in a CSI strategy serve to benefit communities but has a mutual benefit to companies in complementing

continent’s development, the role of local content and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In response, the panellists framed development within the context of an inclusive society that saw the advancement of both women and young people. It was asserted that gender equality and an increase of women within prominent roles in the workplace, creates sustainable conditions for collective success if the private sector actively encourages these changes. In further reflecting on the workforce composition, it was noted that more than 50% of Africans are younger than 25 years which provides the continent with an advantage to capitalise on the adaptability of the youth, to drive the future. Turning to the role of local content, the panellists remarked on the importance of promoting domestic manufacturing in creating local development that boosts the economy as added-value services are performed in country. Finally, the panel addressed the importance and development of CSR that went beyond a ‘tick box’ activity, whereby companies actively brought about sustainable and tangible change to responsibly source the world’s minerals and uplift the communities they are operating in.

This session focused on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) that has the potential to raise the industry to new heights. Through innovation, new practices have emerged that has aided the explorative processes and helped reduce costs. However, Africa’s lag in technological capabilities was raised as a hinderance to quicker progress, as the basics need to be in place to support more advanced data collection and dissemination.

After a full and informative two days, 2019’s Africa Mining Summit came to an end with some final remarks from the Conference Chair, James Campbell at the Closing Ceremony. James gave a concise and detailed summary of each of the panel sessions, reiterating the fact that Africa is open for business with a wealth of initiatives to improve the productivity and sustainability of mining and reduce the cost but also opportunities to spread the cost through crowdfunding, with a final question to ponder on ‘how to attract the youth into mining’. With thanks extended to all participants, James handed over to GRV Global CEO, Andrew Dowell whom also said a personal word of thanks to everyone for their commitment to the sessions and afternoon meetings. Before a final goodbye, Andrew thanked Honourable Eric Molale, and his hardworking Ministry here in Botswana, His Excellency Ambassador Muchanga and Dr Hussein for the hospitality and support of the African Union, and last and not least to James, “on behalf of my team for your wonderful stewardship of this forum, your enthusiasm and your wholehearted involvement”. Although the Closing Ceremony had taken place, there was an additional day of fun for all those that wished to partake in the Annual Africa Mining Summit Charity Golf Day for the Mpule Kwelagobe Children’s Centre, a place of safety that provides short term residential care, support and protection to orphans and vulnerable children.
