     two major blocks -Bemolanga and Tsimiroro
    DeGoyler & McNaughton and Netherland Sewell have
     produced independent assessment of the resources for
     Bemolanga and Tsimiroro respectively
    Bemolanga contains an estimated resource of 9.8bn bbls
     of bitumen (2.5 bn bbls recoverable). Madagascar Oil
     owns 40% after farming out 60% to TOTAL for $100m.
    Tsimiroro contains an estimated resource of 5.5 bn bbls
     of which 0.94 bn bbls classified as “Contingent”. MOL
     owns 100% of the field.
    MOL therefore has a net reserve of 1.94 bn bbls. Grafton
     own 12.71% of MOL and so can be said to ‘have a net
     interest in ~ 0.25bn bbls of recoverable heavy oil.

                                                            14

     volume average 6.5mm3.
    NPV12 = €34.6m. Annual free cash flow
     estimated at €5m.
    On 8x multiple, this gives a FV of €40m.

South American Ferro Metals
    South American Ferro Metals (SAFM) has, through its fully
     owned subsidiary, acquired the rights to the Ponte Verde
     property in Minas Gerais, Brazil
    The Ponte Verde property has been partly drilled with the
     geology well understood, and contains an estimated 150
     Million tonnes + of hematite rich itabirite, grading 39% in
     situ, increasing to 65% on beneficiation
    A further drilling programme will bring the resource to
     JORC standard in 2010
    Based on a price of US$ 40 per tonne at the mine gate,
     cash costs of around US$ 12.0 per tonne and an output of
     3.0 Mtpa, this generates an estimated enterprise value of
     US$ 250- 300 million
    RTO agreed with ASX listed Riviera Resources


                                                                   17
Compostela Mining

     ha of tribal land
    Drilling commenced in Q4/09 which has confirmed
     high sulphidation mineralisation associated with gold
     and base metals. Initial set of assay results imminent.
    Viewed as similar potential to Medusa Co-O Mine –
     50km to north. 100kozpa. Market cap of $600m.




                                                               18

    southern India, indicate a world class gold asset, with
    an estimated resource of ~10Moz Au
   Kolar Gold Plc (KG) has a JV with the United Mine
    Employees Co-operative Society with the first and last
    right to acquire the mining leases and assets of the
    Kolar gold fields
   Short term cash flow is possible through a low capex
    tailings project, and a JORC resource of 10Moz would
    be worth over $500m
   Kolar is also pursuing a deal with Geomysore Services
    India to take a stake in several high potential
    exploration projects around the region of Karnataka,
    India
   Grafton owns approximately 15% of KG

SCARCITY: AGE OLD FEAR & FASCINATION




I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his
hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A
quart of wheat for a dinares, and three quarts of barley for a dinares”

WHY COMMODITIES MATTER AGAIN…




• “new economy” (1995-2001) >> “revenge of the old economy” (2004)
>>“revenge of the old political economy” (2008) >> “new normal” (2009-?)

• Commodities key part of the story, with
     • high price levels and strong volatility
     • tight markets and supply side constraints
     • states and their proxies (SWFs, SOEs, regulatory bodies) as key actors
     in markets
     • added factor Climate Change debate

 Intense politicization and securitization of commodity markets
Commodities as key strategic issue in a multipolar world
Emerging nexus of environmental, economic & security policy

RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY
GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN RARE METALS MARKETS




•Rare metals are especially prominent in the resource debate due to:
      • Western import-dependence & crucial role of China
      • indispensability for high- & green-tech applications
      • inelasticity & concentration of supply
      • fast-growing & highly volatile demand

 This creates supply security concerns and makes (some) metals
into “strategic” resources!
 The strategic value & political economy of each metal is
unique, evolving rapidly, and …
RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY
GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN RARE METAL MARKETS



•In response to supply security concerns, importing countries
     •   designate particular rare metals as “critical”
     •   actively monitor supply and demand
     •   create stockpiles & develop domestic supply
     •   diversify & secure supply
     •   regulate trade and consumption

•Authorities of exporting countries seek to
     • increase profits through taxation, licensing, nationalization
     • control valuable downstream industries through preferential supply
     or export restrictions
     • use rare metals as strategic bargaining chips.

 … this can matter greatly for the success of business ventures
and investments in the market for a given rare metal!

EUROPEAN POLICY RESPONSE TO RARE METALS DEBATE



•Raw Materials Initiative (RMI) led by DG Enterprise & Industry
resulted in the 2008 Communication with focus on non-energy
mineral resources:
     •Ensure equal access for European industry globally
     •Promote supply expansion from European sources
     •Boost resource efficiency and recycling

•Follow-up EU criticality study released June 2010:
     •Examines 41 minerals and metals with 14 labeled as “critical”
     •Recommends to tailor policy responses for each critical material
     •Extensive consultation process has just been wrapped up

• Watch out! A new Commission Communication on latest
developments and the progress of the RMI at the end of this year

 •Close cooperation between various ministries, BGR & corporations, with
 a new “Rohstoffagentur” as central actor
 •Strengthening of bilateral cooperation with resource-rich developing
 countries
 •International engagement to lower market distortions and promote
 global investments through “ungebundene Finanzkrediete” (UFK)
RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY
MEMBER STATE RESPONSES: FRANCE




•The announced creation of a “Comité pour les metaux strategiques”
(COMES) has been delayed



•Key elements of the plan:
•Exploration for REEs (€ 6 mil.)
• R&D around gallium,
germanium, niobium, PGMs &
REEs (€140 mil.)
•Recycling of rare metals
(€ 250 mil.)

MEMBER STATE RESPONSES: UK




                             •Treasury Department
                             (2008) has promoted laissez-

RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY
CONCLUSION: WHERE DOES EUROPE STAND ON RARE METALS?



  • EU is stepping ahead with member states’ responses still
  fragmented:
       •Germany is in the lead
       •Strong French response has been somewhat delayed
       •UK is still looking to develop a coherent policy
  •Compared to US and Japanese efforts to ensure supply security:
       •No stockpiling
       •No establishment of domestic / Western supply chains for
       rare metals
       •Little government investments as of yet
       This might change very fast!
RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY
SHORT RECAP




  •Like other commodity markets, the markets for metals have
  become subject to intense politicization and securitization
  •In times of the “new normal”, the unique political economy of
  each metal market creates specific threats and opportunities for
  miners and investors
  •Grasping, anticipating and navigating this political economy is
  rapidly becoming a key determinant to business success in the
  world of mining
  •HCSS is a reliable partner in strategic orientation & navigation

  • 26. RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN RARE METALS MARKETS •Rare metals are especially prominent in the resource debate due to: • Western import-dependence & crucial role of China • indispensability for high- & green-tech applications • inelasticity & concentration of supply • fast-growing & highly volatile demand  This creates supply security concerns and makes (some) metals into “strategic” resources!  The strategic value & political economy of each metal is unique, evolving rapidly, and …
  • 27. RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN RARE METAL MARKETS •In response to supply security concerns, importing countries • designate particular rare metals as “critical” • actively monitor supply and demand • create stockpiles & develop domestic supply • diversify & secure supply • regulate trade and consumption •Authorities of exporting countries seek to • increase profits through taxation, licensing, nationalization • control valuable downstream industries through preferential supply or export restrictions • use rare metals as strategic bargaining chips.  … this can matter greatly for the success of business ventures and investments in the market for a given rare metal!

  • 31. RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY MEMBER STATE RESPONSES: GERMANY A driving force behind the EU Raw Materials Initiative (RMI) Following ongoing “Rohstoffdialog”, the German government is currently finalizing its new “Rohstoffstrategie”. Key elements are: •Close cooperation between various ministries, BGR & corporations, with a new “Rohstoffagentur” as central actor •Strengthening of bilateral cooperation with resource-rich developing countries •International engagement to lower market distortions and promote global investments through “ungebundene Finanzkrediete” (UFK)
  • 32.

  • 33. RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY MEMBER STATE RESPONSES: UK •Treasury Department (2008) has promoted laissez- faire approach •Earlier criticality study followed up by a new study with AEA in the lead, commissioned by DEFRA •New UK government yet to take a stance on the issue
  • 34. RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY CONCLUSION: WHERE DOES EUROPE STAND ON RARE METALS? • EU is stepping ahead with member states’ responses still fragmented: •Germany is in the lead •Strong French response has been somewhat delayed •UK is still looking to develop a coherent policy •Compared to US and Japanese efforts to ensure supply security: •No stockpiling •No establishment of domestic / Western supply chains for rare metals •Little government investments as of yet This might change very fast!
  • 35. RESOURCES, STRATEGIES & POLICY SHORT RECAP •Like other commodity markets, the markets for metals have become subject to intense politicization and securitization •In times of the “new normal”, the unique political economy of each metal market creates specific threats and opportunities for miners and investors •Grasping, anticipating and navigating this political economy is rapidly becoming a key determinant to business success in the world of mining •HCSS is a reliable partner in strategic orientation & navigation
