Contents Project Introduction Technical Overview Supporting emerging miners Socio-economic impact Phase 1 Progress Conclusion PAGE 1
Environmental considerations necessitate the closure of the Mn facilities in Port Elizabeth South Africa manganese ore exports 2012 Mtpa Richards Bay Durban Port Elizabeth +14% p.a. 7.5 0.2 2.1 1.7 1.7 2.1 0.1 2.0 5.2 2000 2005 2012 PE (rail); Durban (rail and road); R Bay (road) Transnet will continue to offer alternative channels, but Bridging capacity is fragmented and not sustainable Notwithstanding environmental issue, PE terminal is hemmed-in preventing expansion beyond 5.5Mtpa Accommodating emerging miners is limited and capacity allocation constrains current and future volumes of all exporters PAGE 2
The 16Mtpa manganese expansion will increase rail capacity from the manganese rich Northern Cape to a new, dedicated bulk terminal in the Port of Ngqura Rail route Hotazel Sishen Lohathla De Aar Durban Noupoort Cape Town Ngqura PAGE 3
The integrated Ngqura solution provides 16 Mtpa of capacity by 2020 by leveraging existing port assets and meets our broader strategic mandate Transnet objectives How this project meets objectives Reduce the cost of doing business Facilitate sustainable growth of our customers Take advantage of existing infrastructure Existing rail line (with exception of compilation yards) Existing deep water bulk berths in Ngqura harbour Optimise infrastructure through integrated rail and port solution Introduces new technology (locos), operating model (200-wagon trains) and state-of-the-art port equipment Create sufficient transport capacity ahead of growth in Mn demand aligned with the MDS objectives Support emerging miners by reducing barriers to entry Decrease underlying export cost structure of SA Mn producers Drive socioeconomic development Create ~30,000 direct and indirect jobs in the N.Cape and E.Cape regions Support SA localisation and transformation agenda through focused procurement strategy Ensure sustainability of both communities and the natural environment impacted by the project PAGE 4
Phase 1 Phase 2 The rail operating philosophy introduces heavy haul operating principles Road haul Mamathwane Common User Facility 100 wagon rail shuttles Mainline Rail Operations 200 wagon, 20tal, distributed power train Base-load Customers (Category 1): Mines with rail facilities. New entrants (Category 2): Mines with no rail facilities. PAGE 5
