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

  • 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.

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

Mozambican Mobile Belt – The world’s 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.
