Tanzania
==> picture [720 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
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
-
British Common Law System with mining legislation asked on that of Western Australia
-
Well established mining and services industry
-
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
-
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.

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 |

Mozambican Mobile Belt – The world’s future source of Graphite
==> picture [720 x 9] 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 feldsparquartz-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 currently has the largest JORC reported graphite resource in Tanzania
