Production Facilities

Cormac Africa production facilities aim to:-

1. Provide a high quality and consistent range of construction products that will assist

the Company in the execution of its Africa Projects. CORMAC AFRICA aims to extend

the availability of these resources to local Communities and other Development

Projects. This will further support the Social & Environmental Structural Objectives of

Government by providing a quality and range of products that were previously not

available.

2. Manufacture stone and concrete products using the latest equipment that will

produce a high volume of quality products.

3. Introduce manufacturing techniques and production processes that will provide long

lasting solutions, supporting technology transfer and incorporating a comprehensive

training programme for local people. This will set the bench mark for future

manufacturing processes and further protect the Governments Africa Investment.

4. Provide support and technical assistance to the Local Government Authority

The manufacturing base of operations are designed and located close to and run in

conjunction with Cormac Africa Projects and will include a combination of:-

5. Quarrying to produce a high quality road stone for incorporation in new road

construction base layers. This operation will consist of a series of crushers, screens

and excavation plant.

6. Production of pressed concrete blocks for construction of houses, buildings etc. The

tailor-made machinery which utilises the surplus material from the quarrying

operation can make various size blocks to suit many applications. It can produce up

to 900 blocks per hour (dependent upon size required) and due to computer controls

can ensure consistency and quality at high outputs.

7. Ready mixed concrete plant. The ready mixed plant utilises the quarrying production

for the source of aggregate to manufacture the concrete required in the subsidiary

operations. The production of concrete is approximately 100m3 per hour and so it has

ample capacity to supply the local market.

8. Production of precast concrete pipes and box culverts. This top of the range

equipment can produce both reinforced and unreinforced concrete pipes from

250mm diameter up to 2000mm. It also has the flexibility to produce other concrete

products such as road gullies, septic tanks, and box culverts. The benefits of these

Page 9 of 16

products are that they are produced under factory conditions where quality control

can be monitored. This ensures that every product can fulfil its required function.

9. Cormac Africa have an extensive range of vertical bitumen emulsion and special

binder tanks in sizes ranging from 5m³ to 250m³ to suit the requirements of the

Asphalt production for a particular project. The tanks all come fully insulated with

high density insulation normally 225mm thick giving a minimal heat loss thus, making

our tanks very cost effective and energy efficient. CORMAC AFRICA also offer a range

of site built tanks for bulk storage in terminals and process plants.

Bitumen Terminals

Cormac Africa. is a specialist in the supply and installation of bitumen storage and transfer equipment. We have the capability, the resources, technology and strategic direction to meet customers exacting specifications and requirements, both in design and fabrication to ensure customer needs are met in full.

Mining

Cormac Africa Mining Engineers have considerable experience in the open cast mining sector

and have designed, constructed and operated various mineral mining operations around the

world. CORMAC AFRICA Engineers are currently looking to explore opportunities in Africa for

mining precious metals (Gold, Platinum etc.) together with larger scale operations such as

iron ore and Bauxite deposits.

Examples of the type of work and projects that Cormac Africa Engineers have been involved

with are;

Mine Africa design which includes bulk earthworks, tailings dam, haul roads, storm

water attenuation ponds etc.

CORMAC AFRICA Engineers have operated large opencast mines successfully for

many years; producing millions of tonnes per annum and at the end of life of the

mine have implemented comprehensive remediation programs.

Construction of a Gold mine Africa project in Burkina Faso which included

Construction of Processing Plant, Construction of a 5km x 12m high Dam, Tailings

Dam 1km x 7m high, and a 50 km access road.

The design and construction of mine haul roads using the latest chemical stabilisation

techniques to provide a low cost alternative to traditional road designs.

Private Public Partnerships (ppp)

Cormac Uganda though its parent company in the UK has secured finance to enable us to

offer a Private Public Partnership.

The lenders are happy to arrange finance for many infrastructure programs which includes

road construction, Airport construction, Rail construction, educational facilities, hospitals,

affordable housing and power stations fuelled by bio-mass

Each project will be evaluated on its merit but the funders are prepared to offer finance from

$30m to $1000m with various repayment schedules. They can offer 10 to 25 years

repayments or more if requested with differed payment for up to five years which allows

most project to be completed before any payment is made

We would be happy to discuss this method of finance if it is of interest.
