The Global Mining Investment Conference 2010 focused on sustainable mining practices and the challenges linked to conflict resources, particularly in relation to the Kimberley Process. Key discussions included the importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) disclosures, the impact of regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Act, and the increasing pressure from investors for responsible mining practices. The conference also emphasized collaboration with local stakeholders in artisanal mining to improve transparency and economic development in regions affected by conflict minerals.

13. Do sell-side analysts give a XXXX?
 Investigated overall impact of CSR
strategies on securities analysts
recommendations (16yr horizon)
 Examined perceptions of analysts on
value creation (or value destruction)
potential of CSR strategies
 Initially, CSR strategies perceived as
value-destructing. Later, CSR
strengths seen as value-creating: shift
from sell to buy recommendations
 Higher ability analysts more likely to
reward CSR strengths

“ESG analysis will benefit from improved reporting and corporate governance
structures. But attention should also be paid to the need for improvements in the
coherence and consistency of ESG analysis itself.”

27. Transforming artisanal and small
scale mining

28.  Intro video
 Background to Oakridge involvement
 Overview of conflict situation in East Congo
 Current situation
 The fairmining solution
 Project Kivu – first fairmining implementation
 The future of fair mining

31.  By invitation - we got involved based on request from local
stakeholders groups
 Background in corporate business transformation,
troubleshooting and root cause analysis
 Our approach was region development focused, not mining
specific
 We spend 12 months detailed on the ground analysis and
investigation before putting a proposal together.
 We are developing the solution in conjunction with all local
stakeholders
 We are developing solutions with repeatability in mind

32.  It is not as complex as it seems
 It is there by design
 Blood minerals – not all minerals are fueling war (Blood Gold)
 Resolving the conflict situation will result in many people losing a
lot of money
 Our initial root cause analysis showed many anomalies when
compared with what gets reported in main stream media
 Aid is a big cause of corruption
 NGO’s creating a false economy
 Economic development and job creation is the only solution

33.  Strong and cohesive voice for artisanal mining starting to
emerging out of North Kivu
 Joint meetings between Local Communities, SAEESCAM,
COMIMPA, ANR, Comptoirs, Mining Police, Government and
UN Expert Group
 This voice does not effectively reach international advocacy
and media.
 We are launching platforms to address this
 www.walikali.com and www.habarizakweto.net
 Mineral ban in North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema (Coltan,
Wolframite and Cassiterite)
 Developing the artisanal mining sector in these regions now
high on DRC government agenda.

34.  It is a holistic, generic, business approach to
community based mining that is contextual in
it’s implementation
 Product Scope – All metals and minerals
 Key elements
 Social and economical development
 Environmental development
 Transparent and traceable (compliance)
 Ethical trading

35.  Proprietary communication platform
 www.fairmining.com
 Best in class information and process
management systems and infrastructure
 Fully integrated management information systems
 Real time KPI monitoring and management facilities
 Balanced scorecard methodology implemented
 HF Radio based email facilities in rural areas
 RFID tracking
 Detailed financial and revenue distribution model

36.  Secure chain of custody module (mining certificates of origin)
 Trading platform
 Ethical metals and stones trading platform
 Baseline traceable and transparent
 Level 1 – fully independent certified FT/FM products
 Gold and associated metals
 South America – premium 10-15%
 Level 2 – internally verified sourced minerals from fairmining
partners/products
 No premium
 All metals
 Incl 2nd party ethical products
 Level 3 – recycled metals
 Communities and projects (social networking)

37.  Kalminco, the first majority locally owned Congo
minerals company in North Kivu
 80% of profits stays in the Congo
 Very attractive ROI to investors (eg. Phase 2
gives 100% ROI in 12 months)
 Will become operational as part of the DRC
government’s initiatives to clean up the mineral
trade in North Kivu

38.  Project Kivu
 Three more Fairmining implementations are under
negotiation and will become available soon
 600 km2 concessions to be developed in DRC –
business plan available in November 2010
 Ghana – early 2011
 Sierra Leone – early 2011
 Investors that are seriously looking for both high
social and financial dividends are welcome to talk to
