POST SUMMIT REPORT 17 – 18 April, 2013, Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania

Entico Corporation Limited, 19 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BG, United Kingdom

Summit Report

The Great Rift Valley Mining Summit 2013 (GRVMS) organised by Entico Events opened on

the 17th and 18th April, 2013 and far exceeded all expectations. Having taken place in Dar

es-Salaam, Tanzania at the Kunduchi Beach Hotel we were pleased to see such a diverse and

exciting delegation from government ministers, permanent secretaries, senior dignitaries,

NGOs and funding bodies from eleven countries situated on the Great Rift Valley.

The Great Rift Valley is a name given in the late 19th century by British explorer John Walter

Gregory to the approximately 6,000 kilometres long continuous geographic trench that runs

from northern Syria in Southwest Asia to central Mozambique in South East Africa. Today

though, the term is most often used to refer to the valley of the East African Rift, the

divergent plate boundary which extends from the Afar Triple Junction southward across

Eastern Africa, and is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new separate

plates. Geologists generally refer to these incipient plates as the Nubian Plate and the Somali

Plate.

The Rift Valley is blessed with an abundance of natural resources and the Great Rift Valley

Mining Summit provided the platform for discussions on the development of these

untapped reserves. The ministers & officials, international agencies & NGOs used the

Summit as an occasion to discuss their aims, challenges and goals, and announced

opportunities, projects & time scales and presented a programme for planned contracts for

2013 and beyond.

Hon. Stephen Masele, the Tanzania Deputy Minister of Energy and Minerals opened the

summit by presenting the unique position his country holds within the mining industry in the

East Africa region.

The next two days saw country presentations from all the nine country delegations present,

including Hon. John BANDE, the Malawi Minister of Mining, Hon. Mukanga YAMFWA, the

Zambia Minister of Mines, Energy and Water Development, Hon. Peter LOKERIS, the Uganda

Minister of State for Energy and Mineral Development and other high level dignitaries.

GRVMS hosted many leading companies from the mining sector including mine owners such

as African Barrick Gold, AngloGold Ashanti, Base Titanium, East African Gold, Kabanga Nickel

Company Ltd., Kasese Cobalt Company Ltd, Kilo Goldmines, Mantra, Maweni Limestone,

Midroc Goldmines Ltd., Mozambique Mining Exploration Company, Peak Resources, PW

Mining International Ltd., Shanta Gold, STAMICO - Tanzania State Mining Corporation,

TanzaniteOne, Tata Steel, Tulawaka Gold, Uranex Ltd., Vedanta Zinc International, Wesizwe

Platinum Ltd., ZCCM – Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Ltd. Investments Holdings as well

as technology providers, such as Software AG (the gold sponsor), Atlas Copco and Warrior

Security International (silver sponsors), Bolloré Africa Logistics Kenya, Civicon Ltd., Danimex

Communication, First Tech Group, IBM Tanzania, MA Attorneys, Panafrican Group of

Companies, Quest Qualitas, RMA Group, SGS Tanzania Superintendence Co. Ltd. and Vivo

Energy (bronze sponsors) and many more.


The summit also included keynote presentations from a select number of business

organisations, amongst which Tata Steel, The US Embassy in Tanzania, Africa Finance

Corporation and UN Economic Commission for Africa.

During the afternoons of both the days, the participants gathered around thirty-seven

roundtables for a busy program of one-on-one meetings where business negotiations took

place.

During the evenings of both the days, the participants gathered on the welcoming

beachfront of the Kunduchi Beach Hotel for informal meetings which many of the

participants saw as excellent opportunities for further networking.

A great number of the participants have expressed their satisfaction with both the format

and the content of the summit, highlighting the wealth of information delivered through the

morning plenary speeches and the direct, tangible benefits provided by the afternoon

roundtable meetings.

We sincerely hope that, by bringing international expertise to East Africa, in some small way,

the GRVMS will help these governments develop their economies further and would very

much like to see you again at future Entico Events.

Testimonials

“Many thanks and congratulations to all for a very smoothly-run conference. The roundtable

format is an absolute winner for networking, and all those on hand for Entico keep the thing

hopping along.”

Bryan MECKLENBURGH

Group Commercial, Alfred H. Knight

“For me the round table session was the best. I have attended many summits but have not

had the chance to have such sessions with my potential clients. Thanks and keep it up!”

Evans MABEYA

Business Line Manager, Atlas Copco Tanzania Ltd.

“The organization of the Summit was brilliant and it allowed me to meet the right people

from different organisations in the same place and at the same time. Had I arranged meeting

the same people myself, it would have taken me weeks. See you at the next one.”

Mr. Claus LEVINSEN

Marketing Manager, Balton/Danimex

“I have to commend you guys on a job well done. You guys showed high levels of work ethic

to ensure a resounding success for the delegates and participants. The experience was truly a

memorable one and I have to highlight the following achievements as exceptional

contributors to a job well done:

• The team and their personal approach to the event and proceedings

• The team’s diligence to ensure the participants’ needs were met

• The team’s friendly attitude toward their guests and delegates

• The team’s willingness to assist even in instances not related to the event

In my opinion the networking session is of great importance to us and has also given our

business the necessary exposure we needed, especially in Tanzania. We hope to receive

enquiries and sales from this investment and are already investigating new opportunities

with potential partners in the country.

Keep up the good work and good team spirit as these factors where the main contributors to

the success of the event. I look forward to the pleasure of being part of the next successful

event and wish you all the best of luck in your professional and personal lives.”

Wesley AYLWARD

Export Development Manager, First Tech Group


“I found the GRV Summit a great source of networking and information gathering regarding

activities in countries and companies in our region. I found the summit worthwhile to attend,

as it gave me the opportunity to know other participants in person, particularly if one thinks

of the people factor in doing business.”

Johan VILJOEN

Managing Director, Nitro Explosives (T) Ltd.

“Personally was more than happy for the job well done by you, to organize such a successful

summit in Africa, in particular Tanzania. It was such an exciting moment to network with

great industry players and learn about gifted wealth that is still lying untapped. My personal

view is that, with appropriate mining policies in respective African countries, the region will

see a boom in mining sector which will soon liberate the appalling state of the economy in

these countries.”

Wandwi Daniel MUGESI

Cargo Services Manager, Swissport Tanzania Ltd.

“Great event, guys! I achieved all my objectives set prior to joining the conference. Key

among them was networking. The attendance was amazing but not surprising given the

preparations you guys had made for this event. One learning point for me is the team work

displayed by the Entico group. Particular appreciation to Andy, whose hands-on approach

ensured that we achieved our objectives. In addition, the summit format was well thought

out and allowed for maximum interactions. Round table was an excellent idea. Keep it up!”

Stephen MUNGUTI

Business Development Manager, Shell & Vivo Lubricants, Kenya Ltd.

“The conference was an excellent initiative and allowed participants to gain a very good feel

for regional developments in the sector. It was well organized, with the roundtable format

allowing for good 1 on 1 interaction with key parties. I would certainly attend again, and look

forward to further conferences.”

Solomon ASAMOAH

Deputy CEO & Chief Investment Officer, Africa Finance Corporation

“The summit served as a one-stop centre for information on mining investment opportunities

in the entire Great Rift Valley region”

Aaron KIGONA

Logistics Specialist, AngloGold Ashanti – Geita Gold Mine

“A well organised international mining summit. Excellent work, keep it up Entico!”

Eliya SAITI

Regional Mining Engineer, Department of Mines, Malawi Ministry of Mining


“The GRV Mining Summit was organised in a very professional way. The wide range of

presentations delivered at the Summit was very exciting and satisfying. Very importantly, I

was very satisfied to meet with old friends and new contacts which I am sure will profoundly

benefit my institution. I am definitely sure to recommend friends from the Rift Valley region

to participate in your future events so that they promote their mineral resources to the rest

of the world.”

Ketema TADESSE

Director General, SEAMIC

“The GRV Mining Summit was a wonderful opportunity to interact with the players in the

mining sector. It was a good platform for attracting investment and for learning by sharing

different experiences.”

The need for having protected mines

Mines need to have proper security systems with credible, capable staff who can protect not

has said.

Speaking during the Great Rift Valley Mining Summit held today in Dar es Salaam, Sudgen said,

“Mines and their subcontractors are often the only truly meaningful commercial entity in their

areas of operation,” said Maj. Sugden. “This makes them stand out like shining beacons, with
