Opportunities in Value-Addition to Minerals • Gold refineries • Gemstone cutting and polishing (Lapidary) • Jewellery manufacturing utilizing locally produced gold and gemstones
Petroleum Investment Opportunities • Exploration • Extraction • Infrastructure • Refinery • By Products • Energy Generation • Skills training institutions
Kenya’s major Oil & Gas sites Kenya’s Petroleum potential lies in the 4 sedimentary basins: Anza, Mandera, Tertiary Rift and Lamu
Rwanda’s major Oil & Gas sites Rwanda, has hydrocarbon potential in North Western Rwanda and deep under Lake Kivu
Uganda’s Major Oil & Gas Sites • What to know • Estimated Reserves: 6bn barrels of oil • 100k-150k Refinery planned to produce diesel, kerosene and heavy fuel oil • Principles for the Resource Management Law beingdeveloped. 17
Oil and gas… continued Burundi: Recent seismic and magnetic surveys indicated possibilities of oil under Lake Tanganyika and the Rusizi basin Tanzania: significant gas discoveries have been made on the coastal shores of Songo Songo Island and Mnazi Bay.
Regulatory Framework of Mining Sector • Updated transparent and consistent Mining Laws and Regulations • Established Mining Authorities to avoid bureaucratic delays • Strict observation of Environmental Concerns- EIA approved by the respective NEMAs are required for all mining activities
Attractive Investment Incentives • Capital allowances up to 75% • Mineral Exploration Expenditure Allowance – 100% • Training Expenditure Allowance – 100% • Deductible Annual Allowance • Import duty exemptions • Duty draw back facilities • First arrival privileges • Externalization of funds allowed • Investment trader facility • Tax holiday for value added exporters • Withholding tax exemptions on interest, raw materials, plant & machinery • PPPs • CDM • Transparent public procurement procedures with international bidding
Constraints in Mining Sector • Access to affordable finance • Infrastructure (esp. roads and rail) • Land Acquisition – and the related compensation costs • Lack of local skilled manpower (esp. Oil exploitation)
