CEO outlook
Recently released Chinese GDP growth figures forecast a slower growth rate for the Chinese economy. With uncertain growth prospects for other significant economies, the financial year
ahead is likely to continue to be challenging for commodity market participants.Metmar has however been working on a number of projects / initiatives which are expected to
start contributing to the groups revenue and returns in the near future. These include:
Trading of sintered manganese in
terms of the tolling agreement and Kalagadi’s own
operation
Cost management and efficiency
initiatives
Appointment of Rob Still as Chairman
Sefateng mining right expected
to be granted in H2 2014
New orders for a wide spectrum of
commodities, e.g. Iron ore, Steel scrap
Improve working capital
management (new treasury system) and expand trade
and other finance facilities
Changed incentive
arrangements to foster greater
employee drive towards
profitability
