African Minerals is developing its Tonkolili iron ore project in Sierra Leone, with a JORC compliant resource of 12.8Bnt. The project, which currently has a 60+ year mine-life, is being developed in 3 phases. Phase I of the project is fully funded and at full capacity is expected to produce 15 million tonnes of iron ore per annum once it ramps up from initial production in Q4 2011. Phases II and III are expected to boost production incrementally by 23Mtpa and 45Mtpa respectively. African Minerals and its contractors currently employ approximately 5,000 people in Sierra Leone, 78% of whom are Sierra Leonean nationals.
The Company is also developing significant port and rail infrastructure to support the development of the project, via its subsidiary African Rail and Port Services (SL) Limited ("ARPS"), in which the Government of Sierra Leone has the right to acquire a 10% interest. With the exception of this interest, the Tonkolili project companies are wholly owned by AML.
