  • DEVELOPING A LONG TERM FUTURE FOR ZIMBABWE’S PGM INDUSTRYA P R I L   2 0 1 9

  • PROJECT  OVERV IEW

    Karo Mining Holdings’ project in Zimbabwe will 

    establish a large‐scale vertically integrated 

    Platinum Group Metals (‘PGMs’) mining 

    complex, located in the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe 

    Karo Mining Holdings’ will design and construct 

    fully integrated facilities to ensure the maximum 

    extraction of value from mining, through the 

    value chain to final base metal and precious 

    metal refining

    Karo Mining Holdings’ will execute the project in 

    partnership with the Government of Zimbabwe, 

    under the Investment Project Framework 

    Agreement signed on 22 March 2018

    The management of Karo has overseen the building of some of the largest and most successful mines in the world, from Eland Platinum, Barplats and Tharisa in 

    chrome and platinum projects, to Petra Diamonds, Keaton Energy, Toro Gold, Alufer and Rainbow Rare Earths

  • KARO  PLAT INUM 

    Karo Platinum has been awarded a Special Grant in the Great Dyke in the 

    Mashonaland West District for an area of 23 903 ha

    Karo Platinum will operate the open cast and underground mining of the 

    platinum concession, with approximately 14.4 Mtpa of run of mine ore

    Conceptual designs are based on the operation of four open pit mining 

    operations that will transition to underground operations

    Phased implementation of mining determined by feasibility studies

  • KARO  REF IN ING

    Local downstream beneficiation of mineral products

    Karo Refining will include concentration, smelting and refining to produce 

    PGMs, including a base metal refinery and precious metal refinery 

    At steady state, the platinum mining complex is expected to produce 1.4 

    Moz of refined PGMs per annum 

    Refineries will treat up to 2.0 Moz of PGMs per year, providing 0.6 Moz 

    for toll‐refining capacity for other PGM producers in the country

    7

    The refinery complex will comprise:

    PGM concentrators

    Smelter complex

    Base metals refinery

    Precious metal refinery

  • KARO  POWER  GENERAT ION

    Initial terms were that Karo Power would establish a thermal 

    power plant with a capacity of 600 MW  

    It has subsequently been agreed, subject to the issue of an 

    Independent Power Producers License and signed bankable 

    PPA, that in place of a thermal power plant, Karo Power will 

    initially construct 300 MW of renewable solar PV energy  

    Karo Power will establish a 300 MW solar PV renewable 

    energy power plant, in 50 MW solar PV modules

    Current Zimbabwe installed capacity is 2 000 MW, but the 

    country requires 11 000 MW of electricity to achieve its vision 

    of becoming a middle income country by 2030

    8

  • RENEWABLE   ENERGY

    Energy generation is dominated by coal and hydro power

    Vast renewable energy sources available in the country

    Solar radiation averages 20 MJ/m2/day

    The 300 MW capacity will be developed in  6 x 50 MW solar PV modules

    After investigations, the Zimbabwean National Power Grid cannot accept the 300 MW solar PV supply at one single point

    First 100 MW will be fed into the Selous substation, in the form of the first two 50 MW modules

    Other substations have been identified for the remaining 200 MW supply  

    Estimated timeline is nine months for the construction and commissioning of a 50 MW module

  • KARO  COAL  MINES

    Karo Coal will identify a prospective coal area with the intention to establish a metallurgical coal facility

    Once an area has been identified, Karo Coal will apply for a special grant over an agreed coal rich area

    A key focus would be the viable extraction of primary metallurgical coal products, which will be utilised for Karo Mining Holdings' value 

    addition initiatives, with the surplus being supplied to the local Zimbabwean ferroalloy and steel industries

  • BENEF ITS   FOR  Z IMBABWE 

    Creation of approximately 15 000 direct jobs throughout the project timeline, including the construction phase  

    3 000 jobs during peak construction

    Potential for 75 000 indirect jobs through secondary and tertiary industries

    Safety is a core value and the project will be developed in an environmentally responsible manner

    Sustainable economic growth

    Development of strong local supply chain and service industry
