Presentation Outline Context of capital requirement in mining Level of Capital requirements Stay- in business (sustenance) capital Ramp/developmental investment Requirement per mineral Impact of capital on mineral output Way forward
Unlocking Zimbabwe mineral wealth Zimbabwe’s mineral potential can be achieved through: Current producers operating at full capacity Producers expanding current capacity New exploration projects UNLOCKING MINERAL VALUE Isaac Kwesu 2012
The question is how then do we attract capital for: Exploration activities Companies to operate at full capacity Companies to expand installed capacity Companies to set up beneficiation facilities It is only then that the country can realise the potential from its mineral resources.
