About Kazera
Global plc
Kazera is a global investment company focused
on leveraging the skills and expertise of its Board of Directors to
develop early-stage mineral exploration and development assets
towards meaningful cashflow and production. Its three principal
investments are as follows:
Alluvial diamond mining through Deep
Blue Minerals (Pty) Ltd, Alexander Bay, South Africa
Kazera currently has a 100% direct interest in
Deep Blue Minerals, of which 74% is held beneficially by Kazera and
26% is held on behalf of Black Economic Empowerment
partners.
Heavy Mineral Sands mining
(including ilmenite, monazite, rutile, and zircon) through Whale
Head Minerals (Pty) Ltd, Alexander Bay, South Africa.
Kazera currently has a 70% direct beneficial
interest in Whale Head Minerals together with the benefit of a loan
facility entitling it to receive approximately £38m out of
dividends from the other shareholders.
Tantalite mining in South-East
Namibia (divestment in progress)
As announced on 20 December 2022, Kazera has
agreed to dispose of African Tantalum (Pty) Ltd ("Aftan") for a
cash consideration of US$13 million plus a debenture payment of
2.5% of the gross sales of produced lithium and tantalum for
life-of-mine. Completion of the sale is subject to receipt of full
consideration proceeds. Aftan has been deconsolidated from the
Company's financial statements with effect from 4 January 2023
because in accordance with the terms of the sale agreement, it has
relinquished control of the Aftan in favour of the purchaser, Hebei
Xinjian Construction Close Corp ("Hebei Xinjian") with effect from
that date. Kazera retains the right to cancel the transaction and
retain all amounts paid to date in the event of default by Hebei
Xinjian.
The Company will consider additional investment
opportunities as appropriate, having regard to the Group's future
cash flow requirements.
