• The current global economic slowdown affects demands of

metals and investment appetite in mining projects.

• Depressed demand and low prices have seen resources

companies losing up to 70% of the NAV.)( Making it difficult to raise capital for

new projects and normal working).

• The developing economies currency cyclicity and weakening is

adding to the downward pressures and scarcity of mining

Currency Cycle

• RSA GDP continued to fall driven by mining, draughts and

manufacturing. (WB has lowered the forecast to below 1% downwards for 2015)

• Fluctuation in the short to medium term affects the basket

price in local currency.

• Emerging markets ( BRICS) suffering sharp currency

depreciations largely driven by slow down in China.

• The risk of US and EURO stalling would see the rand staying

weak for longer. (The rand cycle is two phase 1st 2015 weakest and then 2nd 2017).

Real Option Analysis

Definition: the capacity of individuals or entities to learn from what is

happening around them and their willingness and the ability to modify

behavior based upon that learning.

• A real option is a “right” and not an “obligation” to undertake certain

business initiatives like deferring, abandon or expanding projects

• In cases of market uncertainty, commodity prices, R/USD exchange

requires flexibility as to the timing of the project is an “Option”
