MINING

The revised Mining Charter 2010

The long-awaited review of the Broad-Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining and Minerals Industry (Revised Charter) was released by the Minister on 13 September 2010. The intention behind the Revised Charter was to clarify certain ambiguities and uncertainties which existed under the original 2002 Mining Charter (2002 Charter) and to provide more specific targets than the 2002 Charter had done, the 2002 Charter having been a more policy orientated document. The second preliminary issue is the following: What is the impact However, the Revised Charter has in some instances given rise to more questions than answers. The first issue is the relationship between the 2002 Charter and the Revised Charter. Does the Revised Charter replace the 2002 Charter or must the Revised Charter be read in conjunction with the 2002 Charter? The title of the Revised Charter specifically records that it is an "Amendment of the ....(2002 Charter)" as opposed to an Amended Charter. This thinking is confirmed in the Preamble to the Revised Charter which records that "...amendments are made to the Mining of the Revised Charter on the Codes of Good Practice for the Mining Industry (Code)? The simple truth is that by and large the provisions of the Code have been ignored by stakeholders in the mining industry. Inelegant drafting and the dubious legal validity of the Code did little to promote the aims of the 2002 Charter. However, the Code remains on the statute books as delegated legislation. It has not been amended to reflect the provisions of the Revised Charter and as such is likely to continue to be ignored. If the Code has any relevance at all, it is likely to be in regard to the general principles espoused therein. It is hoped that the Code Charter of 2002 in order to streamline and expedite attainment of its objectives." These statements indicate that it would be necessary to consider the 2002 Charter and the Revised Charter together in order to ascertain one's obligations. However, a comparative review of the Revised Charter and the 2002 Charter leaves one in little doubt that the Revised Charter was in fact intended to replace the 2002 Charter and not merely to amend same.

EVERYTHING MATTERS

will be wholly re-written in due course to be, in fact, a proper code of good practice in accordance with international standards.

There are however a number of aspects to the Revised Charter which we believe may inhibit deal-making within this sector. These aspects include:

The third preliminary issue is: To what extent is the Revised Charter a product of the consensual agreements recorded in the Stakeholders' Declaration on Strategy for the Sustainable Growth and Meaningful Transformation of South Africa's Mining Industry which was signed on 30 June 2010 by the Department of Mineral Resources, National Union of Mine Workers, Solidarity, UASA - The Union, the South African Mineral Development Association and the Chamber of Mines of South Africa (Declaration). In answer to this question, we include in this comparative analysis a summary of the most pertinent aspects of the Declaration. What is apparent from this comparison is the fact that while the Department of Mineral Resources seeks the co-operation of stakeholders, it is not averse to adopting a coercive stance when it comes to empowerment within the mining industry. * BEE beneficiaries are required to have full shareholder rights. This may conflict with the Companies Act in certain deal structures as a company can only issue shares that are fully paid up and this may also limit structuring flexibility. Possibly one of the biggest surprises was the fact that the Revised Charter, despite the consensual nature of the Declaration, seemingly provides that non-compliance with the provisions of the Revised Charter will amount to a breach of the MPRDA that may result in the suspension or cancellation of a holder's prospecting or mining rights under section 47. Added to this is the fact that the Minister will have the power to amend the 2002 Charter without consultation and will therefore have a wide discretion to impose more onerous obligations on the industry in the future. Not only does this perpetuate regulatory uncertainty in the South African mining industry but renders it more likely that the Revised Charter, as delegated legislation, will be challenged as being unconstitutional. However, the wording of the Revised Charter stipulates that "Non compliance with the provisions of the Charter and the MPRDA shall render the mining company in breach of the MPRDA ..." . Therefore, if the holder must be in breach of both the Revised Charter and the MPRDA before the right can be revoked, then this provision would be more acceptable.
Allan Reid, Director

Deal participants will be required to engage with financiers in order to determine the percentage of cash flow to be used to service the funding of the structure and the amount to be paid to BEE beneficiaries (barring any unfavourable market conditions). There is therefore a requirement that a percentage of cash flow must be paid to the BEE Shareholder prior to finance having been repaid, thereby extending the funding term and the financier's risk. This may result in financiers being less enthusiastic to conclude BEE transactions.

We include below a summary of the most important provisions of the Revised Charter and, for comparative purposes, the corresponding provisions of the 2002 Charter, the Declaration and the Code.

THE REVISED MINING CHARTER How does it affect you? A comparative analysis
THE REVISED CHARTER 2010 THE STAKEHOLDERS DECLARATION THE 2002 CHARTER THE CODE OF GOOD PRACTICE

OBJECTIVES
The Revised Charter
* Dealt with in Item 1 of the Revised Charter. * Seeks to (a) promote equitable access to mineral resources; (b) substantially and meaningfully expand opportunities for HDSA to enter and benefit from the mining and minerals industry; (c) utilise and expand the existing skills base for the empowerment of HDSA and to serve the community; (d) promote employment and advance the social and economic welfare of mine communities and major labour sending areas; (e) promote beneficiation; and (f) promote sustainable development and growth of the mining industry.

The Declaration
* Dealt with in Part 1 of the Declaration. * Objectives include to promote investment, enhance competitiveness, drive transformation, remove barriers to sustainable growth and transformation and commit to effective implementation strategy.

The 2002 Charter

* Dealt with in Item 3 of the 2002 Charter. * Includes empowerment, transformation and the promotion of beneficiation. No reference to competitiveness and sustainability.

The Code
* Dealt with in the Purpose of the Code. * Includes facilitation of the implementation of broad based socio-economic aspects of the 2002 Charter to give effect to section 100 (1)(b) of the MPRDA.

OWNERSHIP
The Revised Charter
* Dealt with in Item 2.1 of the Revised Charter. While HDSA ownership of 26% remains unchanged and is required to be achieved by March 2015, a new definition of HDSA has been introduced which includes the phrase "..which should be representative of the demographics of the country." Precisely what is meant by this phrase is not clear. Does this entail that a holder's HDSA participation should include all demographically represented groups or, for example, that

The Declaration
* Dealt with in Part 12 of the Declaration. * Minimum target of 26% HDSA ownership by 2014. Meaningful participation includes that BEE transactions will be concluded with clearly identified beneficiaries (BEE entrepreneurs, workers and communities).

The 2002 Charter

* Dealt with under Item 4.7 of the 2002 Charter. Provides for 2 ownership targets of 15% within 5 years and 26% within 10 years of 1 May 2004.

The Code
* Dealt with under Item 2.1 of the Code. * Requires 26% HDSA voting rights by 2014 plus 26% HDSA economic interest (on a modified flow through principle) by 2014 plus a net HDSA value of 26% by 2014. Net value defined so as to exclude value of interest still burdened by loans after 2 years.

The Revised Charter

South African Chinese persons, although being classified as HDSAs, may not exceed 2 or 3% of a holder's HDSA grouping? Or is it a mechanism intended to limit the number of white women which can be included for HDSA purposes? The intention here is unclear. * Although the Revised Charter does contain a limited degree of flexibility as regards ownership in that it states that ownership shall vest within agreed timeframes "taking into account market conditions", the March 2015 date for achievement of 26% HDSA ownership is hard-coded. There is no applicable weighting to this criterion in the scorecard. A holder will either have met the target or will have failed to do so. * "Effective ownership" is defined as "the meaningful participation of HDSAs in the ownership, voting rights, economic interest and management control of mining companies". * Requires a minimum target of 26% "meaningful economic participation" (as defined)1 and 26% full shareholder rights for HDSA by March 2015. * The value of beneficiation, as provided for by Section 26 of the MPRDA and "elaborated in the mineral beneficiation framework", can be offset to a maximum of 11% of ownership target. * Continuing consequences of all previous deals concluded prior to 1 May 2004 can be included in calculating such credits/offsets in terms of market share as measured by attributable units of production.

The Declaration
* Barring unfavourable market conditions, some cash-flow to service the funding structure, the remaining cash-flow to be paid to the BEE beneficiaries. * Ownership must vest within agreed time-frames of the BEE transactional structure (taking into account the prevailing market conditions). * BEE participant shall have full shareholder rights, eg full participation at annual general meetings and exercise of voting rights, regardless of legal form of instruments used.

The 2002 Charter

The Code

Incudes key attributes such as (a) BEE beneficiaries must be clearly identifiable in the form of BEE entrepreneurs, workers (including ESOPs) and communities, (b) barring unfavourable conditions, a portion of cash flow should be used to service the funding structure and a portion should flow to the BEE partner, (c) BEE partner should have full shareholder rights, full participation at AGMs, exercise of voting rights, regardless of legal form and (d) ownership should vest within time-frames, agreed with the BEE entity, taking into account market conditions.

PROCUREMENT AND ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT

The Revised Charter
* Dealt with in Item 2.2 of the Revised Charter. These targets are exclusive of non-discretionary procurement spend (expenditure that cannot be influenced by a mining company, such as procurement from the public sector and public enterprises). These targets are high, given that the exact manner in which such procurement is to be measured is not clear. There is, for example, no inclusion of the measurement provisions of the Code 500 which allows procurement from certain BEE entities to be measured at 120% of procurement spend. * While the ramp up over five years is welcomed, the ability of BEE entities to supply requisite goods and services of quality at competitive prices in accordance with demand is questionable, given the specialized nature of mining. * BEE entity = entity with 25% + 1 vote of share capital owned by HDSAs under flow-through principle. * Procure a minimum of 40% of capital goods from BEE entities by March 2015 (Scorecard requires 5% by March 2011, 10% by March 2012, 20% by March 2013, 30% by March 2014 and 40% by March 2015). * Procure 70% of services from BEE entities by March 2015 (Scorecard requires 10% by March 2011, 15% by March 2012, 25% by March 2013, 40% by March 2014 and 50% by March 2015).

The Declaration
* Dealt with in Part 11 of the Declaration. * Promotes adherence to fundamental principles of enterprise development, irrespective of mining companies' turn-over; agrees to develop mechanisms for multi-national suppliers of capital goods to the mining industry to contribute towards social development. * No targets set.

The 2002 Charter

* Dealt with in Item 4.6 of the 2002 Charter. * Companies undertake to give HDSAs preferred supplier status; commit to a progression of procurement over 3 - 5 year time-frame; no specific targets set.

The Code
* Dealt with in Item 2.5 of the Code. * Establishes preferential score-card of purchasers of goods and services from BEE compliant suppliers. * Score-card requires, within a 6 - 10 year target, 30% BEE procurement spend for capital goods; 70% BEE procurement spend on services; 30% procurement spend on consumables; 20% procurement spend from local SMME's and 20% procurement spend from suppliers that are more than 50% black owned or suppliers that are more than 30% black woman owned.

The Revised Charter

* Procure 50% of consumer goods from BEE entities by March 2015 (Scorecard requires 30% by March 2011, 40% by March 2012, 50% by March 2013, 60% by March 2014 and 70% by March 2015). * In addition, "multinational suppliers" must contribute 0.5% of procurement spend by SA mining companies to a "social development fund." Precisely what this fund is, who will benefit therefrom and who will administer this fund remains to be clarified. The weighting of this item is 3% in the mining company's scorecard, yet it is the supplier who must make this contribution, not the mining company. How then can the mining company meet its obligations and what will the position be where no procurement is made from such multinational suppliers? One fears that the mining company will merely have to lose the 3% from its scorecard.

The 2002 Charter

BENEFICIATION
The Revised Charter
* Dealt with in Item 2.3 of the Revised Charter. The only off-set allowed against the ownership target is that for beneficiation, to a maximum of 11%. Whilst this is to be welcomed, the entire issue of beneficiation remains somewhat clouded. The Charter refers to the "mineral beneficiation framework". This was not mentioned in the Minister's speech or, as far as we can ascertain, anywhere else. We believe that this may be a framework

The Declaration
* Dealt with in Part 5 of the Declaration. * Records the stakeholder agreement to support local beneficiation, consider establishing a national beneficiation agency, procure the support of international partners to facilitate skills and technology transfer for local beneficiation. * No targets reflected.

The 2002 Charter

* Dealt with in Item 4.8 of the 2002 Charter through general statements. * No targets set. * Allows for beneficiation off-sets against HDSA ownership commitments without details as to how this is to be achieved.

The Code
* Set a compliance target of 42% of annual production measured from the refined stage.

to replace the long-awaited Beneficiation Bill which never saw the light of day and which has been scrapped. The entire mechanism in terms whereof beneficiation is to be measured and calculated requires urgent clarification. In addition, companies which already undertake beneficiation may be prejudiced in that the measurement for this item is the "additional production volume contributory to local value addition beyond the base-line". If a company already has a high base-line and is already beneficiating most of its product in South Africa, it may be difficult to achieve significant additional production volumes of beneficiation.

The Declaration
* "Beneficiation" is defined as the transformation of a mineral (or a combination of minerals) to a higher value product, which can either be consumed locally or exported. The term is often used interchangeably with "mineral value-addition" or "downstream beneficiation." Mining companies may offset the value of the level of beneficiation achieved by the company against a portion of its HDSA ownership requirements not exceeding 11%. Compliance target is any additional production volume of local value addition over and above the base-line. Determination is unclear. "Mineral beneficiation framework" is awaited.

EMPLOYMENT EQUITY
The Revised Charter
* Dealt with in Item 2.4 of the Revised Charter. * By March 2015, achieve a minimum of 40% HDSA demographic representation at each of executive management (board) level and senior management (EXCO) level (Scorecard requires both levels at 20% by March 2011, 25% by March 2012, 30% by March 2013, 35% by March 2014 and 40% by March 2015), middle management level (Scorecard requires 30% by March 2011, 35% by March 2012 and 40% by March 2013), junior management level (40% by March 2011 and beyond) and core and critical skills (Scorecard requires 15% by March

The Declaration
* Dealt with in Part 8 of the Declaration. * Stakeholders undertake to create an environment to promote and encourage diversity to retain an increase of requisite skills. * Minimum target of 40% by 2014 in all of top management (board); senior management (EXCO); core and critical skills; middle management, and junior management.

The 2002 Charter

* Dealt with in Item 4.2 of the 2002 Charter. Companies to aspire to 40% HDSA participation in management within 5 years; companies to focus overseas placement and/or training programmes on HDSA's. Identification of talent pool and fast tracking and ensuring inclusiveness and advancement of woman. No measurement of management control.

The Code
* Dealt with in Items 2.2 and 2.3 of the Code. Provides management control score card in respect of board participation and 40% representivity of HDSA's on executive committee. Also provides employment equity score card requiring compliance target of 40% in top management, senior management, middle management, junior management and woman in mining (10%).

Many companies, particularly junior miners and prospecting companies, have only two of these levels, alternatively the distinction between levels is blurred. How the scorecard will affect such companies is unclear. Also, there is no indication as to what is meant by "core and critical skills" or whether "demographic representation" must be also be applied within each level. These aspects too require clarification. * In addition, existing talent pools mining companies must be identified and fast-tracked to ensure high level operational exposure in terms of career path programmes.
