If you are in any doubt about the contents of this document you should consult a person authorised under FSMA who specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities. This document, which constitutes an AIM admission document, has been drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules. Ordinary Shares must not and will not be offered to the public in the United Kingdom (within the meaning of section 102B of FSMA, as amended) save in circumstances where it is lawful to do so without an approved prospectus (within the meaning of section 85 of FSMA) being made available to the public before the offer is made. Accordingly, this document does not constitute a prospectus as defined in the AIM Rules. The Company and the Directors, whose names appear inside the front cover of this document, accept individual and collective responsibility for the information contained in this document and for compliance with the AIM Rules. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and makes no omission likely to affect the import of such information. Application has been made for the whole of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue immediately following the Placing to be admitted to trading on AIM, a market operated by London Stock Exchange. AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. AIM securities are not admitted to the Official List. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser. The AIM Rules are less demanding than those of the Official List. It is emphasised that no application is being made for admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on the Official List. Neither the UKLA, the FSA, nor London Stock Exchange has examined or approved the contents of this document. The existing Ordinary Shares are not traded on any recognised investment exchanges and, apart from the application for Admission, no such other applications have been made or are intended to be made. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM on 30 June 2006. The whole of this document should be read. An investment in the Company involves a significant degree of risk, may result in the loss of the entire investment and may not be suitable for all recipients of this document. African Consolidated Resources plc (Incorporated and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 1985 with registered number 05414325) Placing of 33,333,333 Ordinary Shares of 1p each at a price of 12p per share and admission to trading on AIM Nominated Adviser and Broker Williams de Broë Plc Share Capital immediately following Admission Authorised Issued and fully paid Number Amount Number Amount 1,000,000,000 £10,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 1p each 189,065,527 £1,890,655.27 The Placing is conditional, inter alia, on Admission taking place on or before 8.00 a.m. on 30 June 2006 (or such later date and time being not later than 8.00 a.m., on 31 July 2006, as the Company and Williams de Broë may agree). All the Ordinary Shares will, on Admission rank pari passu in all respects and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, paid or made in respect of the Ordinary Shares after Admission.

The Ordinary Shares are being offered only to non-US persons outside the United States in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S. Purchasers of the Ordinary Shares may not offer to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Ordinary Shares in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit or, US persons (other than distributors) unless such offer, sale, pledge or transfer is registered under the US Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. The Ordinary Shares have not been and will not be registered under the securities legislation of any province or territory of Canada, Australia, Republic of Ireland, South Africa or Japan. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not, subject to certain exceptions, be offered, or sold directly or indirectly, in or into Canada, Australia, Republic of Ireland, South Africa or Japan or to any national, citizen or resident of Canada, Australia or Japan. Williams de Broë has been appointed as Nominated adviser and Broker to the Company. Williams de Broë, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FSA, is acting solely as Nominated Adviser and Broker to the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules in connection with the Placing and Admission and is not acting for and will not be responsible to any other person other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to customers of Williams de Broë or for advising any other person on the contents of this document or any transaction or arrangement referred to in this document. Williams de Broë’s responsibilities as the Nominated Adviser to the Company are solely owed to the London Stock Exchange. In accordance with the AIM Rules, Williams de Broë has confirmed to London Stock Exchange that it has satisfied itself that the Directors have received advice and guidance as to the nature of their responsibilities and obligations to ensure compliance by the Company with the AIM Rules and that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, all relevant requirements of the AIM Rules have been complied with.

The mining sector employs over 45 000 people formally and more than 500 000 informally. Long history of mineral exploration and mining >40 different minerals are known and have been mined at one point in time. Status of mineral resource exploration and development in Zimbabwe MINING IN ZIMBABWE Credited for most of present-day infrastructure in Zimbabwe. Majority of towns and cities developed in the vicinity of mining areas e.g Hwange,Kadoma,Kwekwe etc. Most railway line branches and some major roads were constructed to serve mining areas. Many industries arose through mining industry’s needs. The mining sector continues to act as a magnet for investment in Zimbabwe. Status of mineral resource exploration and development in Zimbabwe GEOLOGY OF ZIMBABWE Geology spanning >3000 Ma. Highly conducive for diversity of minerals.

Like six others before it, this Symposium brought together research stakeholders from Government, industry and academia. The Research Council of Zimbabwe (RCZ) continues to organise these symposia in order to popularise research and development especially in, but not limited to, S&T and to provide a platform for the dissemination and documentation of that research. The symposia are also regular reminders to renew political commitment to invest more and better in research at all levels. It is hoped that all the stakeholders now understand that investment in research is more or less the last ‘bullet’ towards the country’s socio-economic development and lasting independence particularly so as we have to rely increasingly on a knowledge-based economy.

AREA 389,000 sqkm MINERALS Source : USBM 1984- The Minerals Sector of Zimbabwe Introduction History TheearlySan (“Bushman”) hunter-gatherers did not possess smelting technology but did exploit fine­ grained, glassy, rocks such as obsidian and chalcedony for the manufacture of stone implements and weapons. Various iron oxide ochres were also used for painting. It was not until the arrival of the Bantu­ speaking iron age cultures that the mining and smelting of iron began. Ancient smelting sites, usually identified by slag heaps and tuyer shards, arc to be found right across Zimbabwe, the earliest of which has been dated as the 2nd Century1. By the 11th Century these people had developed more elaborate forms of social organisation that also included a substantial mining and smelting industry based on other metals such as gold, copper and tin. An Arab traveller, A1 Masudi of Bhagdad, visited Sofala, on the Mozambican coast, and reported a large trade in gold and ivory coming from a kingdom in the interior (Zimbabwe) at that time already2. From the 11th Century onwards, gold from Zimbabwe was carried by Arab and Swahili traders from the southern African coast to the Arab world and on to the Indian and Asian markets.

  • The Kamativi Pegmatite: an Opportunity for Economic Development in Zimbabwe?
    The Kamativi pegmatite: an opportunity for economic development in Zimbabwe? Richard A Shaw 1, Kathryn M Goodenough 2, Eimear A Deady 2 & Paul Nex 3 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK, [email protected] 2British Geological Survey, Edinburgh, UK 3University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa Keywords: Kamativi, Zimbabwe, ASM, tin, lithium Introduction The last few years have seen a dramatic change in global attitudes to electric vehicles (EVs) with many countries and car manufacturers pledging to switch entirely to EVs before 2040. The expected growth in EVs will lead to a rapid increase in demand for raw materials such as lithium, which is essential for batteries in EVs and domestic energy storage systems. Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites are an important source of lithium, currently accounting for about 40 % of global supply. Zimbabwe is currently the world’s fifth largest lithium producer, after Chile, Argentina, Australia and China, and has substantial lithium resources (USGS, 2018). All lithium in Zimbabwe currently comes from pegmatites, with production chiefly from the Bikita Pegmatite. Other pegmatite prospects of interest include Arcadia (Prospect Resources), Zulu (Premier African Minerals) and Kamativi (CAT Strategic Metals Inc. and Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation). The Kamativi pegmatite is a large LCT-type pegmatite located in northern Zimbabwe. The pegmatite was worked on a commercial scale between 1936 and 1994, producing about 37,000 tonnes of tin and 3,000 tonnes of tantalite during its lifetime (Cronwright & Derbyshire, 2018). However, lithium was never extracted from the pegmatite. The tailings at Kamativi are being evaluated by CAT Strategic Metals Inc. for their lithium potential.

  • Water and Cooperation Within the Zambezi River Basin (WACOZA)
    Water and Cooperation within the Zambezi River Basin (WACOZA) National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe (NUST, ZIM) FINAL REPORT: Zambezi River Basin Groundwater Hydrology Characterisation in Zimbabwe August 2019 Compilation: A. Chinyama A. Chirima C. Chuma E. Makaya N. Ncube S. A. Ndlovu T. Kativhu EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The project “Zambezi River Basin Groundwater Hydrology Characterisation in Zimbabwe” was a contribution to the “Water and Cooperation within the Zambezi River Basin (ZRB)” case study project for Southern Africa Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in the framework of AU/NEPAD ACEWATER2 project. The general objective of the case study project was to assess Water- Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) interdependencies across the Zambezi River Basin. The following specific objectives guided scientific activities related to groundwater hydrology characterisation in Zimbabwe: 1. To provide a multi-scale groundwater hydrology baseline database at ZRB and selected countries level, based on literature review, available data sources and existing country/regional scale studies of major relevance to WEFE nexus; 2. To provide baseline conditions database on groundwater hydrology and water demand vs. availability for few shared regional case studies, by gathering and processing data and by-products and to perform groundwater assessment; 3. To perform vulnerability assessment to contamination of selected aquifers across the ZRB. The scientific activities yielded the following outcomes which are detailed in this report: 1. Baseline report and a spatial database for groundwater hydrology in the ZRB in Zimbabwe 2. Baseline report and data on demand for water for different water users and spatial database on water availability represented by recharge and borehole yields in the ZRB in Zimbabwe.
