These include: Trading of sintered manganese in terms of the tolling agreement and Kalagadi’s own operation Cost management and efficiency initiatives Appointment of Rob Still as Chairman Sefateng mining right expected to be granted in H2 2014 New orders for a wide spectrum of commodities, e.g. Iron ore, Steel scrap Improve working capital management (new treasury system) and expand trade and other finance facilities Changed incentive arrangements to foster greater employee drive towards profitability
