Development of Strategic Options
Challenges mining companies face
Mining companies emerged from the nancial crisis leaner,
meaner and frequently cash-rich. To deploy available capital
effectively, some companies forge ahead with projects
previously considered marginal; others are debating
returning excess capital to shareholders, and still others
have launched a spate of M&A transactions.
Theres a renewed interest in beyond-borders expansion,
particularly into Africa, with all the opportunities, threats
and uncertainties associated with mining on the continent.
Executives should now take a good, hard look at their
portfolios, processes, plans and value drivers and articulate
a long-term strategy to make informed investment
decisions.
How does the Deloitte solution address the business
issue?
Our approach encapsulates a rigorous analysis of
the prospective acquisition targets, along a range of
parameters, coupled with identication and quantication
of risks facing potential investments, including political risk,
prevalent particularly in Africa.
At Deloitte we have found that our on-the-ground presence
in most African countries plays a considerable role in our
ability to understand local investment opportunities and
risks. We use hypothesis formulation and testing as well
as a real options approach as some of the useful tools in
weighting investment options.
Benets to your organisation
Deloitte works with our strategy, actuarial and corporate
nance specialists to deliver this unique solution.
Our analysis provides a comprehensive as is picture and
reveals potential opportunities for commercial exploitations
while identifying any latent aws or fundamentally negative
aspects, which may impact your investments.
The high-level nancial models help to select the optimum
entry option and the risk models aid the development of
mitigation strategies.
Scenario planning assists in the understanding of the
country-specic risks, particularly in identifying the leading
indicators or triggers, thus helping to ascertain early which
of a range of identied scenarios could unfold.

Challenges mining companies face
Our experience has shown that every large capital project
should include a detailed value improvement process
coupled with a rigorous capital business case review. The
need for a robust process has been highlighted by the
current worldwide economic conditions where capital
funding is constrained and it is crucial that projects deliver
on the promised projected returns.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
Our approach encapsulates a detailed value improvement
process coupled with a rigorous capital business case
robustness review. Value enhancement is achieved by
working closely with the project team, targeting areas of
potential value through various techniques focusing on
efciencies, waste and new sources of value. The position
of the project in the overall project lifecycle will determine
the focus of the review and the warranted analysis. During
the business case robustness review, the business case is
evaluated, assumptions tested and validated, while risks
are framed and key drivers are modelled stochastically
providing a view on the uncertainty associated with the
reported project return.
Benets to your organisation
Big capital projects takes a considerable amount of time to
develop. During this time many congurations are tested
and assumptions made on which decisions are based,
while the business case is continuously updated and
changed. Since the world can change signicantly over
the project study period a structured value improvement
and business case robustness review could add value by
providing decision makers with the peace of mind that
the optimal value has been identied and that the project
return numbers are sound.

Challenges mining companies face
Our experience has shown that clients understand the
business improvement imperative, but often lack the
capacity and approach to make improvement a reality.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
The Radical Business Improvement (RBI) approach aims
to inuence the thinking and behaviour of operational
teams to make business improvement a way of life.
This is achieved through the embedment of a business
improvement platform that not only fast tracks business
improvement, but also ensures sustainable continuous
improvement practices.

Our RBI Team will provide your business with a platform
that drives business improvement in a sustainable manner.
The platform consists of specialised people,
streamlined processes and supporting systems. Once this
is established, your company will have gone through a
culture shift where everybody understands, supports and
participates in business improvement.

Corporate Finance Solutions
Challenges mining companies face
Accessing Cash: With mining projects invariably requiring
signicant investment to bring them into operation,
having access to sufcient cash resources is key to the
success of any mining company. While some miners are
cash rich, others have to look to capital markets and
banks for cash, both of which are jittery after suffering
losses in the global recession of 2008/09 and the looming
economic troubles in Europe.
Growing through acquisition: Mining Due Diligences are
predominantly focused on the geological, metallurgical,
environmental and other technical aspects of a project,
and rightly so as these aspects are paramount to the
potential investor. However, the nancial soundness
and management of a project, mine or mining company
is often overlooked as part of the acquisition process.
Furthermore, inadequate M&A deal management can
erode the value of a transaction.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issues?
Deloitte has a track record of working closely with
investments banks as part of multi-disciplinary IPO teams
to ensure that mining companies extract the maximum
value from initial and subsequent capital raisings. As well
as traditional reporting accountant and sponsor roles,
Deloitte also offers services such as IPO readiness reviews,
capital structure assessments, drafting and coordination of
listing documents and road show support.
The Deloitte Debt Advisory team enables clients to take
control of the vital debt raising process in order to access
a much wider spectrum of funders, to pitch competitively
and to execute the most effective deal that is RoE
enhancing with the least amount of business constraints.
Deloittes transaction services and M&A advisory teams
can assist you through every step of an acquisition process
to ensure that you gain the maximum benet from the
transaction with the least disruption to your own business.
Furthermore, fnancial and tax due diligence should be
prioritised as part of the due diligence process to ensure
that the investor gets a holistic view of the asset it is
considering investing in or sponsoring.

Mining Shared Services
Challenges mining companies face
The mining sector is no stranger to boom and bust
cycles. The global nancial crisis has hit harder than most
mining companies anticipated. Many companies now nd
themselves in a position of increasing production costs
and high capital commitments, with lower commodity
prices. As a result, cost management has been set as a top
priority not only as a way to offset softening commodity
prices, but also in response to the ongoing high costs for
development, materials and labour.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
The concept of shared services rests on three principles:
Standardisation
Consolidation
Re-engineering
In most mining companies, transaction processing
activities such as accounts payable and other support
services are carried out from a number of different
locations, performing the work in a variety of ways and
using a range of systems.
Shared services allows companies to strip out the lower
value transaction processing common to disparate
locations and bring it together in one site. Processes are
standardised, the people and technology are relocated to
a single site and the work is re-engineered to bring it to
world-class standards.

Dealing with
sustainability

Sustainable Mining
Challenges mining companies face
As an energy-intensive sector, mining companies will be one
of the hardest hit by increasing fuel tariffs, rising electricity
prices, depleting fossil fuel reserves and forthcoming climate
change legislation. In order to be sustainable, mining
companies need to start addressing these risks and preparing
for an emerging carbon and energy constrained economy.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
The Deloitte Sustainability and Climate Change Team can
assist your organisation in mitigating sustainability and
climate change risks. Tools, methodologies and models have
been developed to identify, manage and implement specic
initiatives to create sustainable mines.
With every risk there is always an opportunity. At Deloitte,
the opportunities will always be investigated so as to best
service each client individually. Options such as carbon
emission reduction projects to generate revenue through
carbon credits is one of the mechanisms considered.
Sustainability, apart from enhancing protability, can also
generate revenue for your organisation. Our team seeks to
maximise these opportunities in order to ensure that your
organisation is sustainable in the emerging carbon and
energy constrained economy.

Safety Analytics
To say that safety in the South African mining industry is an
important issue, is an understatement.
It cuts a highly charged, politically sensitive swathe through
every mining industry stakeholder group including, among
others, the families of miners killed while at work, the
government, trade unions, human resources and labour
relations professionals, Boards, and shareholders.
Challenges mining companies face
Safety issues in South Africa are particularly complex
given increasing cost constraints, the increasing depth
at which mining operations take place, ageing facilities
and a legacy of unsafe behaviour. Conventional mining
methods often take place alongside heavily mechanised
activities, further increasing the risk of health and safety
incidents.
While signicant improvements in mine safety have been
made, the quest for zero-harm continues.
One thing is certain: A great deal more needs to be done
to improve mining safety, if tougher mining laws are to
be avoided. South Africas Mineral Resources Minister,
went on record recently saying that government was
very concerned about the continued carnage on South
Africas mines, adding that South Africa may strengthen
mining laws because companies are compromising
worker safety as they accelerate production, amid rising
commodity prices.
Ramping up production might be one business
imperative for mines right now, but there are also other
pressing business reasons to improve safety.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
Traditionally, the focus on improving safety in mines has
been on:
Training
Awareness Campaigns / Competitions
Safety orientated process optimisation
Implementing monitoring systems that gather and
report on basic safety information.
19
There is much more that can be learned from existing
data, however, by studying the underlying causes of and
contributing factors to workplace accidents - the how,
where, when, and why they occur - and then applying
that information to further reduce fatalities.
Deloitte does this by using advanced analytics, i.e. by
applying two statistical techniques; Predictive Modelling
and Data Mining to produce a mathematical model
that effectively segments and predicts the likelihood of
workplace accidents as well as indicating the likely severity
of those events. Through the Advanced analytics process,
we are also able to identify contributing factors. This
methodology can assist in addressing mining safety from
a different angle. By making use of data and techniques
not previously applied in this industry, Advanced Analytics
helps identify jobs, locations and processes that may carry
a greater risk of injury or accident.
Derek Schraader

Benets to your organisation
Advanced analytics puts company data to work by
combining traditional data sources of risk information
with non-traditional data sources. The discipline
supports enterprise cost containment, protability,
and wellness strategies, along with efforts to lower
the frequency and severity of workplace accidents.
It also builds enterprise sustainability by increasing
safety, improving legal and regulatory compliance and
promoting corporate responsibility.
Additional benets include:
Increased productivity
Reduced fnes as a result of improved compliance
Competitive advantage in recruiting and employee
retention
Healthier employees and reduced absenteeism
Improved employee satisfaction and morale.
In summary, our view is that there is an opportunity
to leverage safety related data (traditional and
non-traditional data) more aggressively in order to
generate insights and models that can positively
contribute to the quest for zero-harm.
20
Challenges mining companies face
Recent statistics by the Association of Certifed Fraud
Examiners (ACFE) revealed that on average 6% - 10% of
turnover was being lost to fraud within large organisations
today. The ACFE further highlighted that entities that fail
to protect themselves should expect to become victims of
fraud as more than 70% of fraud goes undetected.
Effective prevention and detection processes is therefore
needed to increase condence and morale of all
stakeholders. One of the key mechanisms of fraud
detection is the implementation of an outsourced
independent fraud hotline, such as Tip-offs Anonymous
fraud and ethics hotline service.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
We currently enable an organisations stakeholders
(employees, management, suppliers and customers)
to report fraud, dishonesty and unethical behaviour in
an anonymous and condential manner without fear
of recrimination. There are currently six mediums of
communication that include a unique Freecall 0800
number, unique email address, post, website, facsimile
and sms.

Corporate Social Investment
Challenges mining companies face
Social Responsibility has evolved from being a business
afterthought to being a key consideration to any sustainable
business strategy.
In an already complex business environment, companies
operating in South Africa are increasingly under
pressure from government, investors, customers and
society to consider the wider socio-economic impact
of their operations and to credibly report on their social
performance.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
A number of forces are shaping South Africas Social
Development Landscape:
B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, requires companies
to contribute 1% of net proft after tax to socio-
economic development, and 3% of NPAT to Enterprise
Development.
The JSE Social Responsibility Index (SRI) sets social
performance criteria for companies seeking listing or SRI
status on the index.
Legislation Government establishes license to
operate conditions related to social contribution,
particularly in certain sectors.
Reputation drives companies to focus on social
responsibility to inuence perceptions.
The Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) and The King
III vision is that disclosure on corporate governance,
environmental, and social performance is as
commonplace and comparable as nancial reportings

Challenges mining companies face
The evolution of AMS is approaching an inection
point with cost no longer the sole focus. Forward
looking IT organisations are starting to view applications
management as a platform for driving business innovation
and value.
Organisations face mounting pressure to reduce cost and
drive greater ROI and a renewed focus is being placed on
innovation and rapid delivery. There is also heightened
attention to risk and regulatory environment and
increased expectations for quality. Services that are not
tightly aligned with business objectives diminish the return
on application investments and innovation and continuous
improvement becomes disconnected from the IT support
department.
Support issues are large,growing more complex, and
touch the entire business meaning that IT expense bases
are soaring but capital budgets for technology enabled
business innovations are constrained. Nearly two out of
three IT dollars are now sunk into operational services.

CXOs want to and should know the return on
investment (ROI) of IT in their business. This informs
future IT investment decisions as well as current
actions that may need to be taken in IT. It is also
important to understand what the critical systems are
to the business and whether sufcient focus, time and
resources are being applied to these systems. It is also
important to assess how these may be impacted by cost
rationalisation efforts. Other areas such as IT governance
(which is receiving increased attention from shareholders
and the board as a result of recent legislation) and
licensing are also key to the CXO. How well aligned are
the business objectives with our IT strategy?
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?

optimisation is a journey and our tool output provides
the rst step in that direction. The tool is aligned

Normally, Internal Audit practitioners follow a sample-
based approach whereby a sample of a data population is
selected and tested, as well as basic auditing conducted
on information technology (IT) systems. Typically, the
results of these tests would form the basis for the
Internal Audit report and opinion on the adequacy and
effectiveness of the internal control environment.

Optimising
your tax
and legal
position

Challenges faced by mining companies:
The mining industry has been thrown into a realm of
uncertainty with the introduction of various mineral and
resources royalty and resource taxes.
In addition to the legislative uncertainty in calculating the
mining royalty payable, mining houses are forced to keep
abreast of the many changes in tax legislation regarding
the mining industry as well as staying focused on the
running of day to day business operations.
Compliance with the mining tax and the mining royalty
legislation, in general, has inevitably become a potential
tax mineeld.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
Deloitte mining tax specialists apply their specic expertise
to corporate tax issues in the mining industry. Our main
expertise lies in tax planning and the ability to assist
with preparing or reviewing tax returns and year-end tax
accruals.
In addition to the above, due to the complexities and
murkiness surrounding the calculation of the mining
tax royalty payable by mining houses, our mining tax
specialists have:
Developed a highly skilled knowledge base regarding
the interpretation of the controversial legislation around
the mining royalty; and

actual royalty payable.

Tax Effcient Supply Chain
Challenges mining companies face
One of the greatest opportunities to unlock value in the
mining industry is to plan across the entire supply chain.
Since the major markets for African commodities include
Asia, the US and Europe, companies need to identify
efciencies beyond their own borders. This includes the
careful management of risks across different jurisdictions.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
Business Model Optimisation (BMO) enables companies
to obtain operating and tax efciencies. This includes four
steps:
Realign for business transformation
Operational changes are usually required to move the
business model and the tax plan into harmony. Dening a
new operating model to improve operating margins and
grow revenues in a tax compliant manner can generate
increased after-tax earnings and enhanced cash ows.
Shifting components of the physical value chain to more
tax-efcient jurisdictions is part of the solution, as is the
strategic relocation of intellectual property.
Recongure Information Technology (IT) systems
As governance structures, supply chains, and other
parts of an enterprise realign to capture more value,
the information systems that support those functions
must evolve as well. As a result, the IT systems should
be recongured to support the new operating model. In
addition, the IT function is itself a source of potential new
efciency through centralization, shared service centers,
and economies of scale.
35
Readying human resources
BMO initiatives have human capital implications across
the organization. After all, moving functions and risks
means moving people, and that can trigger leadership
challenges, potential disruption to the business, and
loss of talent. These challenges, which can also create
opportunities, need to be managed carefully with a
command and control project management structure,
strong communication plans, and dynamic change
management.
Re-organise legal, nance, and tax structure
BMO goes beyond narrowly dened tax questions but
those questions remain at the heart of any worthwhile
solution. A new legal structure and transaction ows
often result from a BMO transformation as a means of
managing tax and trade risks in the local countries as the
legal entity structure aligns with the new operating model.
Finance aspects, cash fows, and customs duties and
other indirect tax implications of the new business model
need to be considered within the new management and
reporting structure.
Benets to your organisation
The risks inherent in the mining industry present unique
opportunities for companies to reduce their effective tax
rate. This can be done by aligning the supply chain in a
tax effcient manner. Furthermore, careful consideration
of the business model can overcome additional economic
and regulatory challenges, such as liquidity shortages and
withholding taxes.

Transfer Pricing
Challenges Mining companies face
The mining industry poses some very specic challenges
from a transfer pricing point of view. South African mining
groups are often involved at more than one level in the
supply chain. For example, the group may both mine and
beneciate the commodity in South Africa. This can make
it very difcult to evaluate the protability of the South
African entity or entities.
In this scenario it is also necessary to determine the value
on which the Mining Royalty will be paid. Companies
would wish, as far as possible, to pay on the value of the
commodity before any beneciation.
The global footprint of many multinationals in the
mining industry also presents challenges. It is necessary
to consider the pricing of sales to group companies in
multiple parts of the world. This is likely to mean that the
pricing policies are very complex.
Meeting documentation requirements in multiple
jurisdictions is also onerous.
A specic problem for ventures into Africa is the wide
range of withholding taxes imposed by many African
governments.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
The Deloitte transfer pricing team is part of a global
team which has consistently had the highest number
of individuals (including individuals from SA) rated in
the Euromoney Guide to the Worlds Leading Transfer
Pricing Advisers. The SA team has extensive experience in
preparing OECD compliant documentation which satises
the requirements of SARS and is readily adaptable to the
requirements of other countries.
We have extensive experience in the mining industry.
Apart from substantial documentation projects, our
assignments have included the following:
Benchmarking the sale to Europe of a valuable
by-product from mining operations
Working together with colleagues in the UK and Canada
to secure an advance pricing agreement (APA) between

a signicant restructuring of the supply chain of a
commodity mined in SA.

Legal Advisory Solutions
Challenges mining companies face
Political and regulatory changes have long had a bearing
on mining companies. Regulatory compliance is not
negotiable and holds serious consequences if not fullled.
Mining companies therefore need to continuously
ensure that new legislation is considered for impact on
investment decisions and to ensure operations comply
with the law.
Following the recent global fnancial crisis, government
interventions and new legislation have reached new
heights across the globe, including Africa. Examples
include imminent data privacy law, new royalty and
other resource tax legislation, tightening of permitting,
beneciation, changes in labour laws and competition law
to mention a few.
How does the Deloitte solution address the
business issue?
Through our Deloitte network of ofces in Africa and our

Challenges mining companies face
The mining industry operates in a volatile, commodity
price driven environment in which experienced and skilled
executives and management and operational talent
are at a premium, are absolutely necessary for success,
and yet are extremely mobile and susceptible to offers
from competitors. Attracting, retaining and rewarding
employees for performance is a key strategic requirement
in such an environment, particularly as company nancial
and/or operational performance must prevail over, but can
be dwarfed by, the inuence of external factors. Balancing
and designing reward delivery mechanisms (guaranteed
pay, annual incentive pay, and long term (share based)
incentives becomes a challenge which requires balanced,
experienced and authoritative support. The price of failure
or sub-optimality is high.

Challenges mining companies face
In the mining industry the cost of training and the
number of shifts lost due to training attendance are two
of the biggest concerns for leaders. On the other hand,
bigger awareness of safety also highlights the need for
