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

KARO PROJECTS OVERVIEW
5
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
Team has +100 years of experience developing and delivering mines
throughout Africa

TYPICAL PRILL SPLIT FOR MAIN SULPHIDE ZONE
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
10
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
Create significant training opportunities and skills development
Execute upliftment projects in local communities
Support further downstream value addition and beneficiation initiatives
State of the art laboratory
Export of high value PGM finished products from Zimbabwe, generating significant foreign currency inflows
