MINDEV SUBSIDIARIES • Tollsort: with Mikrosort of Germany, to apply new optical sorting technology to improve recoveries in the southern African minerals industry; • Musuku: with Harmony and BEE company, to beneficiate gold bullion into pure (99.99%) gold and into value-added intermediate products such as salts, wire, alloys, bars and high purity gold for electronics, using Mintek technologies. Musuku is the Venda word for gold. • Mogale: with management, workers and BEE company, to treat Columbus stainless steel dusts to produce a valuable nickel alloy and to produce ferrochrome using Mintek’s “Enviroplas” technology • Atoll: with Bateman (outsourcing some operations to BEE companies), was established prior to Mindev’s formation to provide toll processing services to the ferro-alloys industry to recover valuable alloys from slag dumps
FEASIBILITY STUDIES INITIATED • A coastal Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) plant based on SA’s abundant manganese ores. EMD is used in the manufacture of dry-cell batteries • A Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant based on SA’s iron ore fines. HBI is used in steel making • A coastal ferro-nickel (FeNi) plant based on SA’s cheap electricity and imported laterite ores. FeNi is used in stainless steel production • A plant to recover platinum concentrate from chromite tailings dumps (the Platdumps project)
REGIONAL STUDIES - Completed or underway • Mineral potential of the Gariep SDI of the Northern Cape • Mozambican part of the Beira Corridor and Zambezi SDI • First phase of a mineral scan for the Nacala corridor in Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia • A scan of the aluminium downstream industry for the CDC (Coega) • A titanium cluster study in East London for ECDC in Eastern Cape • Mintek signed an historic MOU with the ECDC to develop eight mineral based projects in the Eastern Cape • Mintek is also in discussion with other provinces to help them develop mineral based projects (N.Prov & Limpopo) • Mintek is co-ordinating The Great African Rift Development Strategy (GARDS) on behalf of COHORT (committee of SA’s Science Councils) Mineral Economics and Strategy Unit
RESOURCE-BASED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT • The RBSD thesis has been incorporated into the National R&D Strategy • The overall objective and aim of the RBSD project is to identify the critical factors and necessary conditions (i.e. “lessons”) required for a resource-based economy such as South Africa to make the transition to a high-tech industrialised state • Study trip to Sweden and Finland to build a research network • Mining Inputs Cluster • Mintek has also been tasked with facilitating the development of a mineral processing inputs cluster (consumables, capital goods, services) • Mintek proceeded to initiate the resuscitation of the South African mining cluster and has received the commitment of various industry, government, science council, and organisational support for this endeavour • Defining the inputs cluster in terms of key product categories and the type of goods and services associated with them. • Putting together a database of leading South African and international firms associated with the domestic mining and mineral processing sector. • Funding proposal has been submitted to Fridge Mineral Economics and Strategy Unit

RURAL DEVELOPMENT & POVERTY ALLEVIATION • Kgabane Project • The Kgabane Jewellery and Craft Project was initiated by the Ministry of Minerals and Energy to alleviate poverty and create jobs through the creation of a vibrant and inclusive jewellery industry and taking advantage of existing resources • The project was formally launched in October 2002 during the Mining Week, with a jewellery show. The launch celebrated the Kgabane – Harmony range, which was realised through its partnership with Harmony Gold • A Production and Training Unit has been set up and is operational. The unit is tasked with the creating a range of jewellery products that will be inspired by rural - indigenous craft designs and will utilise a range of materials ranging from natural fibres, beads, ceramics, precious and semi-precious metals and stones • Through the Kgabane Rural Development Jewellery Project, seven groups of crafts-women from rural and urban impoverished areas have been set up and are receiving training according to the unit standards qualification set with the Mining Qualifications Authority Mineral Economics and Strategy Unit

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS GOLD • Developing local and international codes of best practice for cyanide use (Au CIP: health & safety and enviro) • Bioleach amenability tests on sulphide gold concentrates from SA, Zimbabwe, Tajikistan, Dominican Republic, Canada, Kazakhstan and Finland • Optimisation of gold circuits for clients around the globe • Project Autek, focussing on new industrial applications for gold, has been expanded rapidly (breakthrough on respirators)
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS(cont.) PLATINUM • Laboratory and pilot milling and flotation work has been conducted for Anglo American, Avmin, Lonmin, Cluff Resources and Aquarius South Africa • Interest has been expressed in the ConRoast process (smelting of dead-roasted sulphide concentrates in a DC arc furnace) by major platinum producers and new BEE entrants (Cr constraint, enviro) • New modules of MillStar, PlantStar, FrothStar have been developed for process control (40 sites in 15 countries) and Minstral EAF furnace control (80 sites in 10 countries) • Significant progress has been made on the development of alloys based on Pt-Al-Cr-Ru for high temperature applications (eg aero-engines with RR)
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS(cont.) FERROUS METALS • Cluster computer (“LAN”) approach for furnace and slags modelling • Various projects conducted using DC arc furnace (SS dusts, FeCr, FeMn, Ti-Fe) NON FERROUS METALS • Testwork and process design on heap bioleaching of low-grade copper ores (Haib) • Solvent extraction for recovery and upgrading of zinc • Liquid Magnesium was produced at atmospheric pressure through Mintek’s new magnesium process • Zincref- new Mintek Zn refining pilot column commissioned
