SUPPLIES HUB All mines require supplies for efficient and effective production These have to be delivered well in time to avoid loss of production Spare parts required are from outside the country and at times not synchronised Recent study of 13 items consumed by 5 mines were in excess of P1.1bn worth of goods annually 2017/04/17

CONCEPT Hub to consolidate and distribute consumables, capital equipment and spares Hub to operate as a wholesaler of goods with shared logistics and IT services All the large mining houses around the world operate along similar principles Hence extend the same principles to all mining companies in Botswana 2017/04/17

ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC SUPPLIER THE HUB ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC SUPPLIER MINE 1 HUB MECHANICAL SUPPLIER MINE 2 SERVICES SUPPLIER MINE 3 2017/04/17

BENEFITS Improved efficiency leading to higher productivity Economies of scale with downward pressure on costs Creation of small and medium enterprises to service the industry Employment generation Contribution to the GDP of the country 2017/04/17

LOGISTICS HUB The mines products are of different characteristics requiring different modes of transport The logistics feasible therefore relate more to inward than market orientated SME opportunities exist to carry out logistics 2017/04/17

CONCLUSION There are abundant mineral ore resources / reserves in Botswana There is a wide scope for establishment of a supplies and logistics Hub to serve the mining industry. This can be done by the business community The centre of gravity for the mining industry in Botswana is more towards the north. Francistown therefore lends itself to establishing such a Hub Minerals will continue to play a significant role in driving the economy of Botswana in the foreseeable future 2017/04/17
