challenges - Liquidity (few lines of Credit)

- Greenfield Projects new mines development
- Infrastructure development is key
- Power and energy
- Efficient transport systems (railway networks)
- Beit Bridge Boarder Post chaos
27Green Field Mining Projects .capital
intensive industry
28Project Funding Cycle
Lower risk, lower reward
High risk, high reward
29Typical cost of a large scale mine over its life
- Gross outlay to get a mine to production up to
315m and up to 12years
30Role of FDI in Financing Mining
