Mineral beneficiation projects seeking investment sought to showcase at Madini Africa



If your mine is planning to beneficiate minerals, but lack the capital to do so, consider taking part in Madini Africa as a business case presenter, making an investor presentation to a group of mining investors focused on mineral beneficiation in Africa.

Madini Africa

On the 12th and 13th of November 2013 the pre -eminent investment conference for African mineral processing and beneficiation is taking place in Johannesburg South Africa

The event is centered around African countries natural resources and the way by which investment is specifically delivered into the development of mining industrial processing plant at or near the mining site and an additional down-stream value- adding semi finished/complete products derived of the mineral being extracted.

Specifically the conference/exhibition, rather than being a mere “talk-shop' is bringing together principals of mining houses, government officials from participating African countries and matching them up with local and international mining and mineral processing investors.

In difference to many other events on the calender this is an event where project principals, promoters are delivering a brief or investment proposal of 30 minutes to the participating audience – seeking their funding commitments.

If your company is active in supplying engineering and product solutions to the said sector then this event would prove extremely beneficial to your participation, where your company can find partners not just for the outright acquisition of equipment, but your company can partake as an investor/partner in an early stage development of mineral beneficiation initiative/s, thereby maximizing its economic benefits.

Video footage of the presentations will be made available at a cost at www.madiniafrica.com

Should you consider attending the conference, exhibition, presenting a business case for investment, or speak on this very important topic for the African continent.

In anticipation to meet you in South Africa

Angel investors sought to invest in the re-commissioning of a coal washing plant

Angel investors sought to invest in the re-commissioning of a coal washing plant for coal beneficiation in Witbank, South Africa

Our company Bon View Energy (kj) is looking for investment to the tune of R30 million to purchase and re-commission a coal washing plant in the Mpumalanga area in a very busy coal complex. 

The facility is surrounded by four huge mines and five power stations, with the fifth one still under construction. 

The washing plant has been out of operation for at least three years and needs to be refurbished in order to become operational. 

The surrounding mines in the area are more export driven and this allows for the opportunity for the beneficiation facility to process low grade coal for the power utility in the area. 

Eskom recently through the Public Enterprises Minister invited junior miners to its head quarters to outline its plans of coal acquisition from small black suppliers and developing its black coal supplier database. 

Our company has already secured a potential coal agreement of at least 100 000 tons of ROM that will be processed thru the facility. 

We urgently looking for a investor to partner with us on this lucrative venture.

Mineral beneficiation projects seeking investment sought to showcase at Madini Africa

If your mine is planning to beneficiate minerals, but lack the capital to do so, consider taking part in Madini Africa as a business case presenter, making an investor presentation to a group of mining investors focused on mineral beneficiation in Africa.

On the 12 & 13 of November 2013, Madini Africa, the pre-eminent Investment in Mineral Beneficiation conference will be held at the Killarney Country Club, Lower Houghton in Johannesburg. 

The conference would present a range of emerging opportunities within the context of proposed legislation requiring greater value adding manufacturing operations within the vacinity of the mining operation, i.e within the country of origin. 

This drive is already evidenced in South Africa and is expected to be followed by other African countries. 

Therefore mineral beneficiation would be commercially sensible to do, aside of the direct economic benefits given per specific project, but also gaining the competitive edge in attaining and retaining mining exploration licenses and resource extraction.

Their Mn mine contains very high grade ore, above 54% and they  are seeking to expand their output substantially to 360,000Mt pa.

Online Auctions Gain Momentum with Big Mining Houses



In wake of the recent overhaul of the auction industry at large, there is evidence of changing behaviour patterns of both buyers and sellers as they look to the CPA and international markets for guidance. Following international trends, the market is seeing a demand for more legal compliance through tracking of bids, reporting structures back to sellers as well as wanting to maximise outreach into new markets such as Africa, Australia and the Middle East. In addition, prospectors, second tier miners and traders all want access to clean second hand stock from reputable sources as they cannot afford the more expensive new equipment. Enter the online auction platform, servicing both buyers and sellers in a more robust and professional capacity.  

A new yet seasoned player identifying this gap in the industry is a specialised firm focusing exclusively on mining, maritime and aviation,solely using the online auction mechanism. The company, Clear Asset Pty Ltd, brings together a partnership of 16 years of dedicated online and physical auction expertise, international business acumen and niche moveable asset proficiency both in South Africa and North America.

“Clear Asset is about offering clients an easy option to bid with minimal inconvenience for decision makers, offering them immediate access to information on the web and an advanced online bidding system. Not only can buyers bid online, but sellers are now able to regularly feed assets onto an auction themselves, regardless of volume or location,'' says MD Ariella Kuper.

Success in the online mining space was witnessed earlier this year with successful online mining auctions handled by Ms Kuper for Diesel Power (and again in March with Sentula) as reported by Mining Weekly in their February edition, with her pilot auction securing a 61% confirmation rate.

''The concept of the online platform is to offer web access for buyers regardless of location, enabling them to inspect and bid on prime and secondary assets from respected suppliers looking to make room for new price OEM assets. It's like a car out of motorplan, still in good condition but the warranties can be onerous for listed companies,'' adds Kuper.''Clear Asset’s upcoming online auction on 27 September offers stock from the likes of Anglo Platinum (Bathupela mine), Lonmin (Marikane mine) and Diesel Power, all whom are looking to clear up their yards of surplus equipment, through a controlled and reputable mechanism.''

“Online auctions offer a transparent method of sale for sellers as we can provide auditable reports of bid activity to ensure maximum accountability. This is critical for listed mining houses from a compliance aspect. It also allows mines to dispose of assets from various sites at one time without stockpiling or unnecessary transportation to a central site. The result is that mines achieve maximum outreach with an expertly managed end-to-end process. For buyers, they can access the assets online, assess interest based on the due diligence online and then still decide if they need to send a technician out to verify the information through physical inspection if required”.

The online system allows bidding regardless of location and time zone and reduces time out the office for the decision makers. It is about ease and efficiency. Looking abroad, Canadian auction powerhouse Ritchie Brothers recently confirmed they have moved US$5 billion through online equipment sales. In a recent article Ritchie Bros. Chief Operating Officer Bob Armstrong attributed this to changing behaviour patterns. ''The recession actually helped turn some buyers to (our online) auctions as they realised they didn't necessarily need to buy brand new equipment. The vast majority of the online buyers are (still) doing inspections of the equipment before they bid, they just don't want to be there on sale day because they're busy, explained Armstrong.

It appears that online is the auction platform to watch in SA as 2nd tier miners, speculators and prospectors in SA and across Tanzania, Angola, Zambia etc are looking for reputable stock at second hand prices.
