  1. FRANCISTOWN INVESTMENT FORUM 2014 – MINING SUPPLIES AND LOGISTICS HUB Charles Siwawa CEO – BCM 20th AUGUST 2014

  2. AGENDA • Introduction • Supplies Hub • Logistics Hub • Conclusion

  3. INTRODUCTION • Botswana is endowed with significant mineral resources • The value of these resources is estimated at trillions of dollars in the ground • There remains scope to add value through efficient supply of goods and services to the industry

  6. SUPPLIES HUB • All mines require supplies for efficient and effective production • These have to be delivered well in time to avoid loss of production • Spare parts required are from outside the country and at times not synchronised • Recent study of 13 items consumed by 5 mines were in excess of P1.1bn worth of goods annually

  7. CONCEPT • Hub to consolidate and distribute consumables, capital equipment and spares • Hub to operate as a wholesaler of goods with shared logistics and IT services • All the large mining houses around the world operate along similar principles • Hence extend the same principles to all mining companies in Botswana

  8. THE HUB ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC SUPPLIER MINE 1 HUB MECHANICAL SUPPLIER MINE 2 SERVICES SUPPLIER MINE 3

  9. BENEFITS • Improved efficiency leading to higher productivity • Economies of scale with downward pressure on costs • Creation of small and medium enterprises to service the industry • Employment generation • Contribution to the GDP of the country

  10. LOGISTICS HUB • The mines products are of different characteristics requiring different modes of transport • The logistics feasible therefore relate more to inward than market orientated • SME opportunities exist to carry out logistics

  11. CONCLUSION • There are abundant mineral ore resources / reserves in Botswana • There is a wide scope for establishment of a supplies and logistics Hub to serve the mining industry. This can be done by the business community • The centre of gravity for the mining industry in Botswana is more towards the north. Francistown therefore lends itself to establishing such a Hub • Minerals will continue to play a significant role in driving the economy of Botswana in the foreseeable future
