Tanzania
Mining in Tanzania
-
Tanzania is one of the most attractive African countries for mineral investment for the following reasons:
-
Mineral rich geology with mining contributing 3.3% to GDP
-
Tanzania GDP growth ~7% in 2013 & 2014, forecast at same rate in 2015 & 2016
-
Politically stable multi party democracy
-
English is an official language
-
Africa’s forth largest producer of gold and diamonds
-
Contributes ~3% to national GDP and rose by 7% in 2013 with increased production of gold and tanzanite
-
Growth in exploration success on uranium, coal, nickel and graphite will support future growth
-
British Common Law System
-
Well established mining and services industry
-
Many Australian and international explorers and operators currently in country
-
Mostly sealed roads from the port to our targeted project area
-
Competitive tax rates
-
Reform of mining policy to attract investment since 1998

Graphite and Its Uses
==> picture [720 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
The use of graphite in lithium ion batteries and other high tech applications is expected to more than double the world demand for natural flake graphite by 2020.
==> picture [552 x 306] intentionally omitted <==
Growth potential driven by Existing uses driving steady growth of 5%pa new green technologies

Graphite Pricing
==> picture [720 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
-
Price for base market applications largely dependent upon purity and flake size
-
Pricing is opaque – settled directly between buyer and seller
-
Prices quoted largely for the base applications
-
Premium pricing structure for high purity flake for battery and electronic applications
-
MOZ targeting exploration on large and jumbo flake graphite
| Graphite Product |
Purity (%) | Mesh Size | Flake Size | Current Price (US$/t) |
Forecast 2020 Price (US$/t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jumbo Flake | 96 – 98% | +48 | >300µm | 2,300 | 6,175 |
| Large Flake | 94 – 97% | +80 – 48 | 177 - 300µm | 1,300 | 1,165 |
| Medium Flake | 94 – 97% | +100 – 80 | 148 - 177µm | 950 | 517 |

Mozambican Mobile Belt – The Worlds future source of Graphite
==> picture [720 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [399 x 383] intentionally omitted <==
-
The Mozambican Mobile Belt represents a band of highly metamorphosed rocks extending through East Africa
-
Within Tanzania and Mozambique organic carbon rich mudstone units have been altered to feldspar-quartz-graphite schists
-
Typically these units now contain 2-10% graphite
-
Tanzanian graphite appears to contain larger flake sizes however with lower average total graphitic carbon grades than Mozambique
-
Mozambi have acquired an extensive tenement portfolio within this graphite rich region

-
Mozambi Resources is a highly focused Tanzanian graphite explorer with an extensive suite of quality assets in the most prospective graphite provinces in the world
-
Tanzania is an established mining environment
-
Significant growth potential through successful exploration
-
Predicted strong demand for flake graphite
-
Preliminary results indicate 25-36% graphite is of Jumbo size with low proportion of fine flakes smaller than 150 microns
-
Clearly defined exploration program to deliver shareholder value
-
Currently – Teams are on site surface sampling, and completing ground geophysical surveys over the 4 identified prospects. It is expected that all four prospects will be advanced to the stage where drilling targets are identified by the end of the year. Initial drilling will be conducted at Chiwata
-
JORC Resource – Following the results of the drill program at Chiwata, Mozambi aims to define our maiden JORC Resource in Tanzania and recognise the inherent value of our assets
-
Mozambi is continuing to appraise the remainder of the tenements to identify additional graphite prospects
