Driving Emerging Economies
• Botswana imports 100% of liquid fuels
• Severe lack of power infrastructure – remote and localised power opportunities
• Mining and industrialisation held back by power access
• Export of by‐product to Southern Africa
• Cross subsidy of transport hurdles through unlocking of previous unavailable value

Long‐Term offshore international export market
1. India and other rapidly emerging economies heavily reliant on thermal coal
2. India, China and others have little alternative but coal fired power expansions
3. Southern Africa and India facing thermal coal import “cliff”
4. USA Infrastructure for export of surplus coal now reaching capacity
5. Requires infrastructure investment by others

Kigoma Copper Project
Current Status at Kigoma Copper
Reconnaisance Drilling has delineated several epithermal structures hosting payable grades of Cu, Ag and Zn
This is the first discovery of sulphide mineralised ore in this highly rich oxidised Cu region
Indications are that these structures extend for more at least 1km and are open in all directions
WKT is first mover at Kigoma and has locked up the entire area
Makete PGE
• Historical Result ‐ 17.6m at 4.9g/t 2PGE+Au intersected in drill hole NDH014, (including 1,7m @ 26.8 g/t)) in 2005.
• Significant and widespread enrichment of Pt, Pd and Au occurs within large mafic and ultra‐mafic body.
• 7 holes recorded intersections in excess of 1m at +3.5g/t 2 PGE+Au.
Investment Case
Takatokwane is a LARGE and LONG TERM, EASILY‐MINED orebody of good quality thermal COAL
We are seeking a CORNERSTONE INVESTOR either at Project or at Company level
WKT offers significant upside at Kigoma – potentially an outstanding project
WKT is a compelling, undervalued investment option
