2 OUTLINE INTRODUCTION MINERAL RESOURCE ENDOWMENTS MINERAL PRODUCTION PARADOX OF PLENTY MINERAL EXPORT DEPENDENCE MINERAL REVENUES/ROYALTIES AND EMPLOYMENT MINING, GDP AND ECONOMIC GROWTH SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNANCE WAYS FORWARD: RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSION
3 I. INTRODUCTION- MINERAL RESOURCE ENDOWMENTS Sierra Leone is blessed with substantial and varied mineral resource deposits, including diamonds (the most important), bauxite, gold, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, iron ore, cement, platinum, chromite, lignite, clays, base metals (copper, nickel, molybdenum, lead, and zinc). The country s established diamond fields cover an area of over 20,000 km², more than a quarter of the country, mainly in the southeastern and eastern parts of the country and concentrated in the Kono, Kenema and Bo districts. Sierra Leone possesses one of the largest rutile reserves in the world (approx. 16% of world production or 4 th largest and 5% of proven reserves of about 278 million tonnes). It has significant proven bauxite reserves (about 77.3 million tonnes) in the Southern Province (Map 1).
4 I. INTRODUCTION- MINERAL RESOURCE ENDOWMENTS Most of the greenstone belts in the country are known to contain gold, with major gold belts occurring in the Sula Mountains (Sonfon and Yirisen); Kangari Hills (Baomahun); Nimini Hills; Loko Group and the Gori Hills. The Tonkolili project under African Minerals Ltd (a British company) is the world's largest deposit of magnetite (a type of iron ore), with 12.8 billion tonnes. The country has good potential for additional discoveries of mineral deposits, given that the country is largely unexplored.

PARADOX OF PLENTY 3 SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNANCE UNDP ranked Sierra Leone at the bottom of the Human Development Index (HDI) in 2007 and though it improved to a ranking of 158 (out of 169) in 2010, it remains in the bottom 10% Trend in Comparative Human Development, Sierra Leone Sub-Saharan Africa World
30 III. PARADOX OF PLENTY 3-SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNANCE Sierra Leone, like many resource-rich countries in Africa, has the problem of institutional failure and poor governance: government ineffectiveness, enhanced corruption, poor political rights etc. Governance Indicators - Score -2.5 (Worst) to 2.5 (Best) Political Context, 2009 (Score -4.0 (Worst) to 2.5 (Best)) Regulatory Quality Political Stability & No Violence Political Stability Political Rights Civil Liberty Rule of Law Corruption Perception Voice and Accountability Government Effectiveness

32 Corruption Perception Index III. PARADOX OF PLENTY 3-SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNANCE Indicators show enhanced corruption & rent-seeking in Sierra Leone including perceived corruption in mines licensing and revenue governance. Lack of full adherence to the provisions of the 2009 Mines & Minerals Act in major concessions has been raised. The 2010 EITI reconciliation report had reported some discrepancies between firm payments & government receipts for 2006 & High Corruption in Sierra Leone (Low CPI=High Corruption) Botswana Namibia Ghana Sierra Leone
33 IV. WAYS FORWARD: RECOMMENDATIONS Framework: The Nature-Wealth-Power Nexus The environment (nature), economic growth (wealth), and governance (power) are essential closely linked elements for Making Natural (e.g. mineral resources) Wealth Work for the Poor Requires new strategies and instruments Attention to broad range of legislation, organizations, decisions, procedures and actions Investments, growth and intergenerational benefits Linkages Between Natural Resources, Economic Growth and Governance 32
34 IV. WAYS FORWARD: RECOMMENDATIONS Key Linkages- Extractive Industry, Natural Resources, and Development Many opportunities for improving positive linkages between the mining sector and development initiatives Competitive Diversification (focus on manufacturing) Creating forward and backward linkages to the economy Innovation and learning by doing processes Technology transfer Human Capital development Job creation Infrastructure development Minimize environmental and social impacts 33
35 IV. WAYS FORWARD: RECOMMENDATIONS No single formula for best practice, but key aspects include: Getting more revenues/rents; i.e. auction of mineral rights, royalties, etc. Capacity development for better contract negotiations & design Transparency, accountability: EITI, APRM, etc. (especially implementation of principles and expanding EITI mandate) Need for adhere to international guidelines, laws & codes Strengthening governance & Institutions all levels Sound economic policy (deepening macroeconomic reforms; removal of distortions) Need to build-up savings (depletion of resources, distortion of economy, intergenerational benefits) Public Investments investment funds for diversification, productive and human capital, social services, physical capital Intergenerational benefits future funds 34
36 IV. WAYS FORWARD: RECOMMENDATIONS Sierra Leone has to de-link government expenditure from mineral revenues and follow a permanent income rule, sharing the mineral wealth/revenues with future generation and smoothing out expenditure into the far future (e.g. by establishing a Future Mineral Fund partly invested abroad like the Norwegian Fund see Figure in the next page for operational mechanism). By this policy, Sierra Leone does not need to face a near future without mineral wealth and with depressed economic activity.
37 IV. WAYS FORWARD: RECOMMENDATIONS The Proposed Future Mineral Fund Mechanism Integrated with Fiscal Policy Return on investments Revenues Mineral Revenues Future Mineral Fund Transfer to finance nonmineral budget deficit Government Budget Fiscal policy guideline (Spending real rate of return and a fixed percentage of mineral revenues) Expenditures consumption investment (infrastructure, health, education)
38 V. CONCLUSION Sierra Leone is richly endowed in important mineral resources, including diamond, bauxite, gold, rutile, ilmenite, and zircon. Though the country has recently diversified its mineral exports, their share in its total exports had been dwindling: falling from a peak of 93% of total exports in 1992 to a low of about 60% in Mineral exports not only account for a small percentage of GDP but this also declined from a peak of 20% in 1992 to just about 7% in Worse still, mineral revenue as a share of total domestic revenue is miniscule, averaging just 2% between 2001 and Employment in the mining sector is also low, around 2.6 to 4.5% of national employment. Moreover, mineral exports are a drag on economic growth of Sierra Leone. A new mining sector management framework is needed for better governance, sectoral linkages, economic growth and human, capacity and infrastructure development.
