Highlights of presentation (Ethiopia)
KEFI
GOLD + COPPER
Tuku Kapi (Gold), development project in Ethiopia:
• Consortium is executing action plans agreed in December 2020 for financial closing March 2021.
• Major works planned Q2-21, commissioning Q4-22 and open pit production 160Koz in 2023.
• Remain focused on production to ~190,000 oz pa by accelerating underground development to
Year 3 of open pit, to lift average grade (blending 2.1g/t open pit with 5.6g/t underground).
• KEFI now targets at least 65% ownership of TKGM.
Assumes no local private
sector investment alongside KEKI and Government.
• If local private sector participates KEFI will own c. 65%; if not, KEFI will own c. 75% of TKGM.
• Detailed documents in process for closing March 21.
Page 7 benefits to locals.
• TKGM would , if operating today, be the largest single export generator in Ethiopia.
This is a Public-Private-Partnership with the
Governments of Ethiopia and of Region of
Oromia to own c.20% including 5% free carry
• Three major roads to be constructed by
Ethiopian Roads Authority
o Keley to Tulu Kapi
o Southern Bypass
o North-Western Bypass
Quite a bit of detail emphasis on benefit to locals However “If local private sector participates KEFI will own c. 65%; if not, KEFI will own c. 75% of TKGM” so Kefi very likely to end up with bigger share.
