8 MINERAL ECONOMIC POLICY THE PEOPLE SHALL SHARE IN THE COUNTRY'S WEALTH! The national wealth of our country, the heritage of all South Africans, shall be restored to the people; The mineral wealth beneath the soil, the banks and the monopoly industry shall be transferred to the ownership of the people as a whole; All other industry and trade shall be controlled to assist the well-being of the people; All people shall have equal rights to trade where they choose, to manufacture and to enter all trades, crafts and professions. Freedom Charter, 1955
9 MINERAL ECONOMIC REALITY Foreign shareholders currently only get around 3% of the value that mines produce. DM 2011 Mining production for June 2011 decreased 0,7% year-on-year, according to data released by Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) on Thursday. Seasonally adjusted mining production in the second quarter of 2011 dropped 1,1%, compared to the first quarter of StatsSA says the main contributor the drop was a 2,7% decline in the production of platinum group metals (PGMs), while iron ore production rose by 1,3%. However, actual mining production increased 7% in the second quarter of BD2011

40 ALUMINIUM - CARIBBEAN Aluminium smelter costs are energy dependant (30-50% of costs are energy) When Trinidad was delivering at US$0.04 the smelters wanted it at US$0.015 Deal signed but then fell through. Later deals were secured. Benefit hoped for was (sidestream) industrial deepening and (downstream) broadening
41 ALUMINIUM - CARIBBEAN Net Value Add Maximise linkages Local technology development not just Operational and Maintenance involvement Need to develop two competing units (one private sector and one government owned)
42 COPPER CENTRAL AFRICA Preferred copper ore is the Cu-S family. Less popular is the Cu-OH family (e.g.malachite). Problem was large amounts of chrysocolla also recovered in mining. Volumes of oxidised ores keep increasing and processing is limited to economical extraction. Mass production of sulphuric acid enabled the processing of chrysocolla ore. This they called beneficiation!! Complex orebodies can now be exploited for local projects and longer process chains means that diversification can be considered. Decision to be made is does the SOE establish a new company to retreat the dumps, or should it give it to an existing market player
